anyone else feel this way?

Im only 3 weeks a few days from my wedding now. My shower was on Sunday, and it was awesome. It also made me realize how little time is left. Right now I'm feeling like I just want everything to be over with. I still have some things to do, and I just don't have the motivation to even start any of it. Did anyone else feel this way at any point? What did you do to get back into the swing of things and finish what you needed to?

EDIT:  Sorry, I didnt realize the someone else posted almost the exact same question earlier today.

Re: anyone else feel this way?

  • Based on Brie's post about this subject earlier, I think most people just said to hell with it. If it ain't done, it ain't gonna get done. I don't have any real advice, because I'm still 7 months out, but GL. Remember to breathe and remember what's important: you'll be married at the end of the day! There's light at the end of the tunnel.

  • I completely felt that way pretty much until the night before the wedding. At about the 1 month mark I actually told my parents to stop talking about wedding stuff because I didn't care anymore. I finished a few diy projects with my mom giving me little nudges but otherwise could not have cared less.
    Then around midnight one of my bridesmaids poked me right before we fell asleep and said "dude, you're getting married in like...12 hours...how crazy is that" and I was super excited.
  • I just want to be married already! Its been a long and stressful process, but its almost over. Thats what I keep saying to myself. Thanks for the advice. Im gonna try to get everything done this weekend so I can just relax for the next 3 weeks.

    For me, it was like a long endurance road trip with annoying family and all I could think was: "Are we there yet?"

    We had all our loose ends tied up about two weeks out, so it was actually nice to have nothing to worry over.  I'd suggest getting as much done as you can now, then coast into the wedding.  Try to relax and like PP have said, it's all about being married to your FI in the end.

  • I definitely felt like that. For the things you have left to do, find someone to either help you with the projects or to run the errands with you. It makes it much easier, much more fun and it helped me relax.
  • I pretty much stopped caring about the wedding planning a year before.  Luckily, after I had a chance to clear my head I got back into it.  Overall, though, I still just want it over with.  The only things I've gotten emotionally sentimental about were getting the rings (I finally have a real diamond!) and receiving a draft of the ceremony from our judge.
