2 months to go blues

LRsoontobeLH, 25 June, 2014 at 14:36 Posted on Planning 0 7

So this last weekend OH and I were away camping with our dog at an agility competition and we had such a good time! Here's our little monkey with her first ever rosette for a clear round;

It was so lovely getting away for the weekend and not doing anything wedding related and just getting away from it all and having some time together!

So Monday comes and I then thought "woohoo! only 2 months to go!" and then a few minutes later it started sinking in and then it was more like "OMG! theres only 2 months to go and I've got so much still to do!"

I'm not sure if its because I'm still tired from the weekend but I'm just feeling really bleurgh and things are annoying me that I know wouldn't normally annoy me! OH is off on his stag do on Friday to Spain so I'm not looking forward to him being away which isn't helping my general feeling of mopiness! I need to give myself a shake and get out of this mood really!

So this lunchtime I went to the bridal shop to pick up one of the bridesmaid dresses so I can pass it on to one of the bm's this weekend to get alterations done down South as it'll be much easier for her. My veil has arrived too so I've got that and they have very kindly leant me a hairpiece to try at my hair trial this weekend as I'm not 100% what I want yet so hopefully I can decide after the trial on Saturday. I also found out that some of the extra bits have arrived and been handed to the seamstress for the alterations on my dress. A girl from work came with me and did a spot of shopping while I was in there and we had a quick coffee outside before returning to work so I'm feeling a bit brighter, hopefully an early night tonight will perk me back up again.

Has anyone else got the blues? Feel free to vent if you need to! Any tips to help me get my mojo back?

    Had a bit of it last night. In the same situation as well, OH is off on his stag do this weekend.

    There might be a lot to do but there is plenty of time, honestly. Maybe write a list of everything you need and you'll see it's not as much as you thought.

    All the exciting bits are coming together and if you're like me, waiting 2 years for the day to finally come around then you might not believe it'll all be over in a few months time but, then the important thing will have happened. You'll be married and all the planning will be worth it!

    No advice really but congrats on your dog rosette. I always enjoy dog photos.

    I had the 2 month blues to, trust me your mojo will come back! I have shed loads to do and started feeling fed up however the last two weeks I have been on a high, getting things done it's all been exciting whereas before there was dread and just can't be bothered. Keep doing little bits and pieces and take break from it all when your really not feeling it.It has worked for me, I'm all fired up ready to get the show on the road as they say!

    Good luck not long now Xx

    Gorgeous dog by the way!

    i am getting totally fed up with everything at the moment, mostly because no one is remotely interested, we have 2 months to go and no one has asked a thing about it, we have no stag or hen do arranged and the BM and bridesmaids are showing no interest in helping with anything. Every time I mention the wedding to my Dad he changes the subject, I haven't even asked him to give me away or dance with me cos what's the point? My sisters haven't said a word since I got engaged (we're not close but still). Our friend who promised to learn a song on guitar for my bridal entrance has just pulled out because basically he can't be bothered to learn it, so I have no entrance music at the moment. I desperately want my bridesmaid who is excellent with hair and make up to help me choose some styles but she is always too busy. OH's Dad refuses to discuss accommodation or how he is getting here because it is 'too soon' (he is 84 and lives 100 miles away so we need to help him plan) but he just changes the subject. Oh and we asked the BM to download all the music for the disco as he has loads of software, he hasn't even started yet and doesn't know if he will have time!

    Gaaaaah. I wanted to elope :-(

    I see a large number of couples a month or so before their wedding for a planning meeting and what you are describing seems to be quite common. They describe themselves as feeling stressed by the amount of stuff there is to do and, at that stage, the glamour has slightly worn off and the excitement is yet to kick in! Weddings are supposed to be the happiest time of your life etc etc blahdy blah - it's all rubbish, I think you are just being realistic and authentic.

    Thanks everyone! Its nice to know Im not the only one who's lost my mojo a bit.

    CrazyRatLady, I'm so sorry you're having a hard time! Big hugs!

    Hopefully I'll feel a bit better after the weekend, I'm heading to my parents for the weekend while OH is away so Im looking forward to being looked after by them plus catching up with one of my bm's and having my hair trial. Then its my hen do next weekend so lots to look forward to really, it just feels like times is slipping away and Im not going to have time to do everything!

    Thanks for all the lovely comments about our dog too, we think she's gorgeous too but are obviously a bit biased!

    OT - but for anyone who likes dogs/is interested here is a little video of the clear round that me and my little monkey got our rosette for! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Pn1il0iCmQ&list=UULxDhQV-v9p64NCl2zgCw8g&index=3

    I'm struggling too! We have just had 3 full on days of travelling, meetings and a pre wedding photo shoot and I feel good things are more sorted I just can't wait til the end of August when I can stop thinking about it all!

    I have SO much still to do! No plans this weekend except trying on our rings before they get finished at the jewellers and then groom suit shopping so hoping to get on with some more bits to cross off the list.
