African American Weddings

I think I had my "OMG, I'm getting married" moment

FI and I went this weekend to start looking for wedding bands. I tried on some rings first then he tried some on. When I saw him try on rings, it hit me really hard that we were getting married. I got so freaked out that I couldn't look at anymore rings. I told my FI that I didn't like anything and that we should look sometime later for rings. I had to do something to get out of there. I hope I don't panic the next time we go look for rings. If I do, I don't know I'll do.

    Really?!  You freaked out?!  Why do you think that happened?  Are you just overly stressed about the wedding planning and feel like you're running out of time or something?  Usually when I have the OMG I'm getting married feeling I get all goofy and giggly, unless it hits me that I am running out of time in terms of the planning...like reading your post reminded me that we have to go look for rings!  In other news...I read your bio and loooove your story.  The way that your FI proposed was so sweet!  So romantic!  It reminds me of something out of an old movie! LOL

    tamtam, I don't know why I freaked out. I could be because I'm only down to lest than 8 months until the wedding. I don't know. I guess this whole wedding planning was real until I saw him try on wedding bands and plus I really didn't like any of the wedding bands they had for women.Thanks about the bio! I had no idea what he was up to but I had that sixth sense that he was up to something...LOL!

    It might have just been nerves, sweetie. I actually hyperventilated in a jewelry store looking at different engagement rings (and this was after I already said, yes). After that, we didn't look at e-rings for a long while (about a couple months) until I was ready to go look again. Sometimes the thought of getting married can be overwhelming. Take it easy and try again later.  I'm sure by then you'll be more than ready to look at rings and find the perfect one for your FI.

    Aguaviolet, I know exactly what you mean!  It's getting down to the wire for me too...and I'm like...oh no there is so much more to do.  And yes, FI did a great job with the proposal.  I love your love story.  So sweet!

    I think certain things make it seem so real. You know it's happening but you still sometimes have that moment.
