Hype is dying down

I remember first starting the planning back in July and being so excited and now that's it's getting close, I'm just not feeling it anymore. I don't know if it's because I'm also planning a big move right after the honeymoon that I'm more concerned with or what. It just feels like anything involving the wedding is drag and a chore. Honestly I still feel like eloping would have been better.

Also we are moving to NC the week after the honeymoon and I feel my focus is more on that than on the wedding. I'm more concerned about the move going smoothly than I am the wedding! Is anyone else feeling "wedding"ed out?

That's a bummer!  I was really excited up until our wedding day but I didn't have other things to worry about.  Hang in there.  Your wedding will be amazing and you will always look back on that day as one of the best days of your life!

aww I had a lull about a few months ago - it was the stress. Try to watch some movies or look at photos to remind you of the fun and beauty that the day will bring!

I am finding joy in the little things that happen, even if it's a phone call FI made today to talk with the tuxedo people.  Or the green sand I bought today for our unity sand ceremony, or having a chance to shop for make-up brushes at Ulta, and finding a 20% off total purchase for next week at Ulta (and promptly made a list of things I plan to get next week!)

I guess....I'm not sure. There's been only a few big moments of excitement. I know what you mean by the little things, Kelly. We bought brooches for my BM's dresses and then today discovered they look like the beading in my gown. Fi and I start pre martial counseling soon. I have things to look forward to but for some reason I'm just really struggling and I'm not excited like feel I should be.

It's just like for that me!!!! I was so excited a year ago but now I am sick of it (two months to go).  It's just too much work, and I don't get a lot of help except from my mom.  I'm just ready to be married now.

I remember that point.  I think I was just burnt out.  I took a break from wedding stuff and did some other things, then came back to it and it was fun again.  Do you have any of the fun stuff left, like cake tasting, catering samples, things like that?  Spreading those out with some of the not so fun stuff in between can help, too.

I agree with dramageek - try and mix it up and take a break.  I hit that point a bit ago too of just "I don't care anymore.  The important stuff is done, let's just get married."  Then I'll take a break, do stuff for the house we're building, look up kitchen stuff, decoration ideas - and then when I get tired of THAT, I go back to wedding and it's more exciting again.    Also, breaking down the "boring" things help me to realize I was just overwhelmed more than anything, and taking it piece by piece made it a LOT more fun and exciting.  Take a breather - you'll be just fine.

That hasn't happened for me yet. I am still excited and love doing wedding stuff, but that might be just because I love weddings and I would have become a wedding planner if I hadn't become a teacher. I like joyful's advice, though. Look at it as preparation for the rest of your life with the love of your life. I'm sure you will be excited once you wake up and realize, "I'm getting married today!"

I have the same problem.  we have so much going on and I'm just burned out.  we bought a house in January, so we've been craigslisting and moving furniture and trying to get it set up and work on the yard...  FI graduates with his degree in May, so he is so busy with student teaching 40+ hours a week plus working part time plus taking classes plus trying to work on the yard at the new house plus trying to help me with wedding stuff.  we're both exhausted and worn out and just plain tired of the wedding.  but we only have 110 more days left, so there is LIGHT at the end of this tunnel.
