Wedding Etiquette Forum

I didn't want to hijack the KPS, NPS &BPS thread

But i'm curious about people's opinion on the KPS about being afraid to get married?

I was going to ask in the previous post but that's about kids crying and I didn't want to interrupt.

Were any of you scared?

I won't lie, shortly after our engagement I got scared.  Partly because we had such a long engagement.  A lot can happen in 2 years, and it made me nervous to think about it.

So far, everything has been going pretty well.  Clearly the wedding followed through, as we've made it almost a year.

  • oh nevermind, clearly if I read like 2 more posts down I would read opinions.  Idiot!

  • Haha BUT that thread is dead and I wanted to chime in. I'm THRILLED that we're getting married... but now that I'm approaching the 20-day mark, I think I'm terrified that nothing will go right for the wedding. It feels like there's an impossible amount of stuff to get done in that time frame.
  • Who says we can't have a second thread for the nighters ;)

    I was nervous because I'd never been married before and it was a huge step. I never thought about not doing it though.

    There's a longer thread several down before that one that fischey started this afternoon.  It was my secret.  I spilled all the details in that thread.

  • But that requires reading through all the responses...;)
  • to be totally honest, I was. 

    It wasn't that I was terrified but I was still scared.  I was scared that I would end up like everybody who "thinks" they are in love, marry and then divorce.  My parents though it.  My co-workers thought it.  I think it.  I was just like..well I love him, but all these other people thought they loved their SO and ended up divorced.  It was a scary thought.

    Does this make sense?

  • Aw Sing I just read your response and want to hug you.

    I was nervous about Scott being "the one". Sure I know he is the one, but I also thought my high school bf was the one, and the last bf turned into a completely jackasss out of nowhere too. So it's scary to trust your instincts.
  • My feelings on this are that I'm only 25 - there are not many things aside from being a student that I have done for a majority of my life. The concept of committing to something for the next several decades is kind of freaky and overwhelming.

  • You guys have no idea what a relief it is to hear that I am not alone.  I think my reaction is probably more extreme than most people, and is probably a result of going off my ADs too soon (though I thought a year+ on with 6 solid months of feeling good was great; so did my psych), but knowing that other people had fears or doubts too is really comforting to me.  Thank you for sharing and for being so supportive.
