June 2012 Weddings

does anyone feel like...

as the wedding day gets closer you are becoming more bridezilla-esque? my main goal through this whole thing is to keep a level head and remember it's not about the wedding it's about the marriage, and until the last week or so that has been fine. but as it gets closer (i'm 34 days away) i feel myself getting more 'crazy'. partly i think it's the stress is making me snap easier at FI and my family. also emotions are a little on the crazy side as well. 

up till now i have been compromising if FI didn't want something that i wanted in trying to find the best solution but lately i find myself just wanting to stamp my foot and say "NO, i want to walk down the aisle to THIS song" or " i want it THIS way"...ect

anyone else feel the crazy kicking up a notch? or am i really going a little nuts?

Re: does anyone feel like...

  • Yep.  I had a little stressed out period where I cried about basically everything, but now I'm just a raging biatch.  I'm mad all the time, at everyone.  I can't wait for this to be over!

    Yes - I found myself somewhat understanding why the tv Bridezillas were going berserko yesterday.

  • I do.
    It's almost a shame because I would much rather enjoy my last 5 weeks as a single woman, according to my taxes. And, I find myself consumed by thoughts of things that I have to do and things that I want to do but don't really have time for.
    I would much rather the planning be done so that we can just move forward. :)

  • I have 12 days left and I haven't gone bridezilla or anything. I HAVE, however, begun talking about it... all.the.time. Literally. Anyone willing to listen at this point better get ready! 

    I think it's because I've been trying to be good over the last year and not talk about it a ton because I didn't want to be one of "those" women. So, I think I'm cramming a year of random wedding talk into two weeks now.  :-)

  • I have not and hopefully will not become a bridezilla. FI has a coworker getting married next week and his bride has gone completely bridezilla. I feel so bad for Greg. I saw him this weekend and he looks broken. She takes everything out on him by screaming and yelling. She managed to tick off their baker and now her hairdresser refuses to work with her. It is horrible and I will not do that to my Fi. I just keep reminding myself of the real meaning of the day and how lucky I am to have my Fi.

  • Sorry, I guess I'm in the minority.  I feel fine and have not had any 'zilla moments.  I do however am now starting to feel anxious, like I need something to do, but everything is mostly done.  All that are left are confirmation calls and dropping stuff off. 

  • Yes, definitely!

    I haven't, though I've had some moments in the past where I've had to fight my mom for something, but even that wasn't zillaish. I have almost everything done with 40 days left, so I'm pretty relaxed. Still a few details to work out, but nothing major.

    <div>oh no! i will not let myself loose control like that! that scares me so much and i totally wouldn't want to enter my new marriage such a disaster. </div>
  • I wasn't completely 'zillaish.. last week I had a freak out moment over something NWR because the stress from the wedding carried over. FI has no interest in the details and wants me to have exactly what I want (he likes all my ideas, so bonus for him). But last week, crap I was grumpy. I cried over everything, I bickered with FI (which I never do) and finally he's like "okay, we're jumping off this crazy cycle RIGHT now" and we spent all weekend getting a TON of stuff done.

    Two of my BM's (sisters) and their parents (my pastor and wedding coordinator) all left last night to go to the Dominican Republic for vacation and won't be back until June 2nd. Having them all gone when I have a bunch of questions made me panic, but luckily they took care of all my questions and last minute stuff on Friday before they left. Now I just have really simple stuff to do and for the first time in weeks I am genuinely EXCITED, rather than overwhelmed.

    Why the apology? Haha It doesn't look like you're really in the minority, either. Glad everything's going so well for us! ;

  • I haven't really been. I've been pretty easy going on most aspects of the wedding and it's seems to working out well for me.


    However, I may become a "grammar Nazi" right now and ask that you capitalize the first letter of your sentences. I do thank you for at least using periods so we know where the end of the sentence is. :)
        Oh, and by no means is this trying to be some sort of evil attack on anyone. I'd just prefer to read proper sentences. I know that I don't have to read the posts if I don't want to, and that is why I am asking you.

    I haven't been all that stressed out really. And I feel like a huge part of that is not having a wedding party, and paying for the wedding ourselves. It just eliminates a whole area of things to stress over. 

    I think it also helps that we went to a wedding this past weekend and we both just got really excited for it to be our turn. And at the wedding, no one cued the groom, BM, and priest to walk out so the bride made it halfway through her walk down the aisle before he came running out to the front. Seriously "the" moment of a wedding and it didn't go as planned. And you know what, they laughed about it, they were still married at the end of the day, and they still thought the day was perfect. So what do I have to worry about?

  • I feel like I've actually gotten LESS bridezilla-ish as we've gotten closer to the date. Early on, I was obsessed with making everything perfect, but I've long since left that little fantasy behind. I'm worrying a lot less about the details than I did a few months ago.

    Of course, there's still three and a half weeks left - plenty of time to flip out!

    Me too !!!! I was so stressed last week that I cried while at the bank because someone tried using my card for a dating site and I had no clue that the bank deactivated my card and when I was told that they were keeping my card and issuing me another and that itll be two weeks before getting another I broke down and thank goodness I knew the teller or they would have called the loony bin on me. lol. I'm now a full fledge Biatch as well and taking no prisoners !

  • I am becoming freakishly more calm as it gets closer. Yes, there is time where I get anxious bc I still have a lot to do (or at least what I feel like is a lot to do) but I think I am better now than I was months ago!

    Has anyone gotten that feeling thinking about after the wedding of 'what am I going to do with myself?'

    I have been so crazy busy with wedding planning I am a little nervous for after the wedding when I don't have running around to do or lists that are never ending! 

  • I have stressful moments but no more than usual.  The only real stress I have right now is my dog is sick, work, and the usual.
