When did wedding stuff "hit" you?

Re: When did wedding stuff "hit" you?

  • Jsut now, when I posted on another Knot board and saw in black and white how much time is left

  • It hit me when we were about to send out the invitations. I think if it doesn't hit you and you don't get some kind-of nervous than you're not taking the huge committment and decisions, to marry you best friend, seriously enough. It will continue to hit me even after we get married but it will be WONDERFUL!
  • It still hasn't, so I'm guesing it'll be at my bachalorette party tonight.  I hope not, though.  Emotions and alcohol...I really don't want to be that girl...

  • It hasn't completely hit me yet.  I have a feeling it'll be at the rehersal or standing in the back of the church with my dad.  We are going to pick up our marriage license on Monday... so that'll seem like a big step I'm sure, but for now, everything has been so surreal. Wow.  It is getting close.  It's starting to hit me :)  But that's a good thing!  I'm so excited!!! Just hope I don't cry. a few tears would be ok, but I really don't want to be bawling walking down the aisle!  I hope I don't puke!  That'd be worse yet!
    Anniversary DS was born 11/30/12... so in love :)
  • I think it definitely hit me when we got the marriage license!  How Silly.  But all of the steps to get to the wedding get you just a little bit closer.  I'm getting married in 8 days and I am so ready!
  • When i started getting response cards back.  Then it felt like it was actually going to happen!
  • My life has been a whirlwind.  I was never focused on being 'wedded', waited until my 40's to get married, and I may be in a perpetual state of shock.  Most of the time I feel like I am planning any event (that is part of my career), but when things are quiet, at night preparing for bed or driving alone in my car, a wave of feelings sweeps over me... I've discovered the man I'm meant to be with and I couldn't be more appreciative of that.  But wow, I am going to be his wife... I'm fiercely independent and I am in awe of the whole idea of it. Change has come... and it brought along a 'happy dance'!



  • I think I had all of thes mile markers....60 days out....40 days out....it was when i got to less than 60 days out...i got on the knot for something and there is was 58 days away....i panicked thinking about all of the little details that needed to be meshed out....i am less than 40 days away now and my heart is palpatating typing this....i know that crying feeling too I had a breakdown after suit shopping with my father and fi and getting into a disagreement about pocket squares...when i got home i just went into the bathroom and stayed in there for like 1.5
  • that was the eye opener too...like okay no turning back the invites are out...and now we get like 4-6 a day....Surprised
  • I have to agreed with those who have said that this feeling has come and gone...

    I have had it several times:
    1. Right after the proposal ("I'm actually calling friends and family to say that I'm engaged?!")
    2. As I was buying my wedding dress (I am actually buying the dress I will wear in m wedding!)
    3. When I was addressing invitations ("I am so blessed to have people to help me address my wedding invitations!)
    4. A few days later, when I started to receive RSVPs back. ("Geez.  This is going to come fast!")

    I am sure that there will be many more moments...

  • It really hasn't hit me yet.  When I got engaged, it felt like he just give me a nice present (the ring.)  You know how when you hear of people getting engaged and it automatically triggers in your head what that means for them.  But when it happens to you, you don't really grasp that it has happened/is happing...

    I'm going to look at dresses this weekend for the first time (we've been engaged about 3 weeks.)  Maybe it will really hit me then?  I guess we'll find out!
  • Oh man...it hit me when months became a single month. When I could actually count the time in weeks instead of months. 3 weeks out!!! I'm sure I'll have an even bigger realization moment the closer it gets...but that was the biggest shock for me. Especially since all of my friends have realized how close it's getting and I get at least a thousand texts a day going "You're going to be married in less than a month! OMG!" OMG is right...I'm SOOOOO excited.
  • It hit me when I realized that I can't afford to pay for my own wedding though my fiance can afford it he refuse to put in more money than me. So to the court house I go.
  • It actually hit me when a co-worker walked up to me and said "Well, I'm married this Saturday. Wish me luck!" I gave her a hug and said good luck and sat down thinking "Aahhh, she's getting married." I was playing with my engagement ring and said "Duh! You're getting married!" I sat there for a few minutes thinking 'damn, I'm getting married.' I'm trying on dresses for the first time next Saturday. I'm sure it'll hit again. Peace and love!

  • I am pretty much just not, though I still have some time. But we've also been together for 8 years - we thought about making our wedding on our 10 year anniversary actually - so I don't know if it will actually "hit me". We're kind of living in that mindset already. Maybe when I go dress shopping with his mom and realize I am going to be RELATED to her! Foot in mouth
  • It's nine months before and until now I felt like I had all the time in the world to plan. The other night I had a wedding nightmare in which nothing was ready. I woke up, and now I feel like i'm quickly running out of time to do stuff lol Nine months is still a lot of time, but when I think that the next 4th of July I'll be headed on my honeymoon instead of to the coast with my family, it seems so soon! Can't wait for the months ahead!
