Super Emotional???

RebeccaJac

Any other brides getting hyper emotional all the sudden? Normally I can keep composure pretty well but this last week I feel like I could cry at the drop of a hat. Happy tears, stress tears, anything! 

My stoic, sweedish genes are not diggin this!

Ah ha ha ha! I've been emotional like no tomorrow! I randomly burst into tears at least 3 or 4 times a week. My mom and I were trying to work out all the details of the decorating plans. We were having a hard time communicating at first and I just lost it and bawled. We finally got everything worked out so we were understanding each other and my mom asked me what all I was putting on the tables at the reception. I tried to answer, but just burst into tears again. My mom just sat there looking at me like I came from outer space. I think I need more sleep or something.................

Nope I have just been really really short tempered. It's bad lol.  I think I'd rather take the crying.

The emotions started rocking my world about two months out. I was not a fan!

I was incredibly emotional before my wedding.  The buildup of things going wrong -- people not RSVPing, vendors not responding, family members giving me trouble -- every setback would make me frustrated and angry.  When I tried on my veil a few days before my wedding, I burst out into tears because it was too long.  I couldn't sleep at all the week of the wedding.  During the dress rehearsal dinner and wedding, I had bad stomach cramps from the stress.  During the wedding, I actually had to take 10 minutes just by myself to escape from everyone and regain my strength.  I think it's very common.  I highly recommend that people splurge before the wedding... go for a massage or something.  You worked so hard on the wedding, you want to enjoy it rather than feel ill.  Literally, I went from super excited about having a big wedding to wanting to elope during the month of my wedding.  Things work out, but it's important to have me-time.  The day after the wedding was one of the most exhausted feelings of my life, both for my husband and me.  We literally just crashed at my parents' place unable to think or do anytihng -- and we had to fly red eye that night!  But that's what the honeymoon is for, I guess -- relaxing.

it's funny you posted this. I have been debating over this and have wondered if I should splurge and do it.
I am super emotional this week but I can thank TOM. I know as we get closer, I will probably be more stressed then emotional but don't doubt that I will have one break down (or two) before the wedding.

I'm always emotional.. it just increases as the wedding creeps closer, lol.

Oh gosh I hope I wont be... I will be in the middle of school , starting BC and planning a wedding after moving etc... Oh it could be just lovly !! I cant wait !!! ....Yep that's sarcastic....

I started getting emotional several months before.  It was so weird, because I'd never cried during movies before (even Titanic, The Notebook), and all of a sudden I started getting weepy during sappy things. 

For me I think it was good.  We've been talking about emotions lately in therapy - I'd learned growing up that emotions are supposed to be suppressed, and I think getting emotional before the wedding was really the first time I really started letting myself feel on a regular basis. 

I was emotional during the ceremony too and sniffled all through the prayers of the people.  DH had to give me his pocket square while we were kneeling at the alter.

I have a feeling this is going to be me. I just ordered a hanky off Etsy for this very reason. And for when my dad walks me down the aisle and gives me away <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-tongue-out.gif" border="0" alt="Tongue out" title="Tongue out" />

I didn't even know I had emotions until a certain point in the wedding planning... lol Now its SO horrible... and because I've never been this way its so hard to control sometimes!

I already am a super emotional person. I cry at the drop of a hat year around. It's annoying.

GJones27

I sound like the total opposite.  I was very weepy about all things wedding at the start of the engagement.  During the dress rehearsal dinner and wedding, I was the only one who didn't cry.  I think I got all the weepiness out!  Seriously, men were crying.  Not me, though.

Yes! Ever since the ticker changed from "months" to "weeks", I've been a mess!
