So... While I would love to say that I have been a soon to be bride that is over the moon and loving every minute of this journey... I have not been. Frankly, I was feeling blue and overwhelmed with emotions I have never encountered. I felt liek there was something wrong with me. How was it possible to be feeling this way about marrying the man that I love and adore?

BUUUT my boss gave me a book after I came in one morning feeling pretty emotionally exhausted called The Conscious Bride. Reading it made me feel so much better and now I feel like I am able to take everything in stride and not freak out.

Hope this helps some of you!

    lol @ Busy

    You know, I couldn't relate much to that book.  I mean, I guess I could the first time I was planning to get married, but then I called it off.  The time I actually went through with it, I was very happy and confident about my decision.  Based on that, I wonder if that book is geared toward convincing people it's okay to get married anyway when they're not truly ready.

    I could understand that to a certain extent but I also just realized that I have been going 100 mph and that I may have just not taken the time to allow things to process. Within a year my fiance finished Med school, I finished grad school, we both started careers, moved in with one another, bought a house, got engaged... life is crazy and wedding planning makes you crazier, haha.

    For me it was nice to be able to step back and allow myself to process what is really going on in my life. It also helped kill a lot of the anxiety knowing that I don't have to be inlove with this process of planning a wedding. When I think of the actual act of marrying him, I am thrilled, get the butterflies, and can't stop smiling. It's all the inbetween I'm not enjoying, haha.

    Oh yeah, wedding planning sucks.  Of course, party planning blows in general.
