3 Days to my wedding - why do i feel so sad

rachael d, 27 July, 2011 at 16:00 Posted on Planning 0 8

Hi all

Like many of you ive been building up to these final few days for well ove a year. Everything seems to be on schedule yet i feel so deflated and sad.

OH has been away for nearly 2 weeks and back at weekends so ive had all the tasks to do myself, not heard a peep out of his family with 3 days to go to see if i need help. Finished work today and think that was the final straw if it hadnt been for my bridesmaid i dont think any of the 100 staff would have even said goodluck. Think i got 3 goodbyes from team mates (8 on team). My mum is now just driving me up the wall instead of cheering me up her lists of jobs and nagging about doing the ironing are just getting me down.

Anyone else had the feeling they just cant wait for it to be over and done with.

    Hi, first of all hugs to you.

    Im not really in the same boat as you yet but if i were you i would feel really naffed off if my H2Bs family hadnt contacted me with 3 days to go especially knowing that your H2B is away. Luckily enough i only work with 3 guys and they are invited to the whole shebang but i would be a bit miffed too if not many of my colleagues said "good luck".

    Im sure that all your planning and preparation for your big day will be perfect and that everything goes to plan. I hope that you have an amazing day and life together.

    Not really much help but hugs and thinking of you. Plus, get a bottle of vino chilled and have a glass later.

    Sal xx

    I'm not as close as you just yet, but I can understand how you feel.

    My OH works away too. He's been away since 13 July and I probably won't see him until the Tuesday before our Friday wedding. Eek. We also move this Friday.

    I am also in the same boat in-laws wise. I can't speak to OH (he isn't contactable) so I'm feeling a bit like I am in all of this alone. But, i'm just trying to forget all that, pick myself up and get on with it. I've been making some "me" time to get my nails done, having little treats quite often, and making sure I get as much sleep as possible.

    Not sure what more I can add, but wanted to wish you lots of luck, and say, don't worry about how you feel right now, there will come a time when it will pass, and everything will fall into place.

    Perhaps it's a sense of 'impending loss' in a way - both of your 'singleness' and all the wedding planning which, now it no longer needs doing, is going to leave a big void in your life.

    Not to belittle how you're feeling - but I don't think you're alone.

    I know that once our wedding planning is over and all we have to think about is memories, it's going to leave a big gap in our day beause we spend so much of our spare time thinking about the wedding planning. Obviously, we will have our new life together to think about and enjoy - but it's still going to be sad to 'let go' to all our thinking about various wedding related stuff. Sure, in the short term I'll have the video editing and photo albums to keep me more than busy ... but that won't last forever.

    Nothing to say really other than just wanted to give you a weird internet-type hug thing ? Whatever happens, just concentrate on seeing his face as he sees you for the first time, walking up the aisle... As the well-known credit card company''s slogan goes "priceless"

    Sounds like you need to make some time for yourself, having a massage, watching your favourite film or something and make sure you ask people for some extra support. Is there a chance your H2Bs family might not realise help is needed and might need a bit of prompting? Whatever happens, I hope today has been better for you and I'm sure you will have a wonderful wedding. Good luck with everything.
