Can we just get married already?

breaness

I've been a little MIA on this board and others lately. Now that we have a house, combined bank accounts, and the wedding has been finished being planned for MONTHS I just don't have anything to say wedding-related anymore. We're done. We're ready. We've been done for months, but now we're even more ready because we already FEEL married. It doesn't get much more married than this without the paper in your hand.

I also find myself rolling my eyes at posts on my club board, and sometimes posting and being a big-ol-bitch because people are ridiculous. So, I've been distancing myself because I just want October to come already so we can go and get hitched. Ha.

Seriously though, one of the girls on my club board posted the other day asking if anyone's checked the weather for their wedding day. A whole bunch of girls said they've been monitoring it. So of course, me in my BOB (big-ol-bitch) ways, comments saying "WTF, you're looking at weather projections for over a month away. Do you realize how insane that is? Weather projections aren't even accurate 2-3 days out."

So, sorry I've been MIA. I'm busy with the new house and working a million jobs, and apparently I'm irritable too.

Don't be sorry, I can sympathize with the whole feeling like your married without the paper part.  FI and I bought our house 10 months from our wedding and people comment how a$$ backwards that is.  Others even commented that buying a house together was a much bigger commitment than actually getting married.

A month will role on by so quickly and before you know it you'll be in Hawaii getting your wedding day on.  Share pics of your house if you can.  I love seeing another person's sense of style in regards to home furnishings.  Good luck!

I can totally understand everything you're saying.  Just try to enjoy this period a little, and don't rush it by, because you never get it back.    I remember being ZOMGSOREADY and just wanting to be married, and when I look back, I wonder why on earth I was in such a hurry.  Forever comes anyway, and that was a damn exciting time.

As for the local boards, LOL yep.  Even better is - with the weather report, even if it's bad within 2-3 days, it's not like checking frequently changes the outcome.  People freak out over this stuff for weeks and weeks and weeks, and in the end, tent-or-no-tent is a pretty binary decision and it's not like you get to choose which way the weather goes.

Brea- I adore you! I've been to my club board about 3 times. Just the post topics were enough to make my roll my eyes and never join in. Maybe I will join in on mine so I can be a BOB, too.  I seriously LOVE that you have called them on the carpet!

I understand about feeling married. FI and I have owned our house together for about a year and a half. All of our banking accounts our combined and so is everything else. But, I am still trying to take the time to enjoy just being engaged and working on wedding projects. I'm actually hoping that we get everything done a few months before so I can relax until the wedding.

Hang in there! Your wedding will be here soon enough! Enjoy your engagement until than. 

PS I have noticed you've barely been on the boards. And I don't like it AT ALL!

Haha thanks girls! You're my favorites on here for a reason

The crazy weather around here isn't helping either! We haven't seen the sun in days! My friends are getting married tomorrow and I'm shooting their wedding and I keep getting sad when I look outside and it's still gloomy. I want the photos to be as pretty as possible for them.

I'll post house pictures in a separate post later tonight. We've done a lot since the last pictures I took so I want to take some more first.

Haha the weather talk is funny! I didnt even want to know! I find it ironic that one of the reasons we thought hawaii would be good was cuz we'd have sun unlike rainy WA- wasnt that the opposite. It poured do hard 20 mins after the ceremony but i didnt care one bit. Anyway- brea its good you have so much going on outside of wedding planning to keep you busy! Your day will be here before you know it!

Glad you are here and we will talk weather with you when the time comes, or not. LOL

I agree with Tanq though, enjoy this time.  It really will go fast and a month will be here before you know it.  I too hope that I will have all of our wedding planned ahead of time but I know I will be like you, waiting for the time to speed up.  Heck I do that with our annual vacations.  If it wasn't for our kids we would each take a few weeks off and go now but we really believe they need to be apart of our experience as a family. 

Hang in there!

Club boards can get totally ridiculous depending on the group. I loved mine - we're over on the Nest now, and it's still a total love in with sane people.

I agree with Tanq - this inbetween stage of your relationship isn't going to happen again... so enjoy the anticipation!

I found that I liked a few of the folks on my club boards b/c they seemed balanced and normal, and some were Cuh-Razy with WR sh*t.  I mean the kind of gals who DIY and then re-DIY, and have questions up the wazzoo about toally minute details that absolutely no one will notice EVAR.

I was like that for about 3-4 months too, though.  

So I just tried not to burst their bubble about how most of that stuff was totally unimportant and focus my attention on the balanced and normal ones.

As for the time before the wedding, I found the last month or two to be relataively calm.  With a DW you have to plan so much so far in advance that by the time you get to a month beforehand, most of it's pretty much done.  I cut a few things out that I didn't care about, and spent most of my time being a travel agent for friends who'd never been to HI before.  So, there's always that.

Glad your back Brea.  I can't wait to see the house photos.

I'm sure the days will fly by! Sounds like you're super busy creating your life together and that's amazing! I can't wait to see more pictures
