Anyone else feel like this?

Nope, I'm 100% with you there.

Engaged July 2011, started planning August 2011, by Sept 2011 I was mainly over on the OT forum than over here!!

At my hen do recently there was a quiz for family and friends to do in teams with various questions including 'what would Nuttys dream job be'. When I scored the quizzes I gave minus points to anyone who said wedding planner. I work in events for a living, but weddings are so personal, I can barely muster up the motivation to do my own never mind anyone else's ?

Oh good, I was starting to feel like a freak! ?

One thing that really bugs me is I seem to have the same conversation day after day as someone different asks me how the planning's going. Aaargh, please can I just talk about something else?! ?

Such an annoying question...especially as I'm not sure people want a detailed answer!

Ive done most of the big stuff, so I'm just gonna forget about it for a while now I think

I haven't found it stressful yet, but if I'm honest, I am a bit bored by it! Like Kirstabubble, now that we've got most of the big things sorted, I'm taking a break from it for a while. My attention has switched to Christmas for the time being!

Particularly annoying when they keep asking every couple of days...

Yes, I've been bored of it for months now. Once I reached the less than 2 months point the excitement started to come back, but I still just can't wait to be married now.

I enjoy the planning on the whole but since about two hours ago I've developed a bit of a grump about it as I have very minimal local knowledge and webshop knowledge in terms of Danish retailers so I'm having to google a LOT, before asking my OH whether he's heard of any of the webshops that come up, if they're reliable etc. To be fair it only adds a little bit of time to google stuff but it's still a pain in the backside - particularly as when I do ask my OH for help he either 1) hasn't heard of any of the shops I find on google or 2) hasn't got a clue where one can buy certain things. I'm not even planning on anything 'out there', I'm talking about things like crockery/tablecloths!

Honestly, everyone feels like that. I posted it myself and I have seen countless other posts like in over the years.

Something, even a little thing will make it come back again and you will get the buz. Until then, relax!

Oh and it is SO rare that an OH helps. Dont fret!

Yeah I feel like this regularly. It seems to come in waves, sometimes I'm super excited about it all but then other times I honestly just can't be bothered with anything and seem to stop caring!

Yep me too. When we first started planning i was SO excited, it was all i could think about. i then had a lull where i couldn't be bothered to do anything, so I didn't for a couple of months. Now its coming time to send the invites out I'm getting excited again and gradually getting little bits done.

Don't worry about it I think everyone feels it.

Yup I definately agree with you...just posted the exact same thing on another thread... wishing time could hurry up now.

Oh my god, can I plan the rest of your wedding for you instead?? I love it!

This. I'm not getting married for another 18 months so no planning is happening!

Like Nutella I got engaged in June 2012, and by end of July I have abandoned WP and gone over to OT!

This! ^^

I'm glad I’m not the only person to feel like this, I got bored of the planning a while back. A friend ask me the other day if I was really excited about the wedding then looked at me like I had two heads when I told her no. Its 8 months away and I’m sure I will be excited then but now I’m bored and fed up and just want the day to hurry up a bit

I am enjoying planning the wedding, if a little sick of it but my main issue is the cost because it means I have to wait to get a new car and I am fed up of mine (the roof is leaking so everytime it rains the seats get wet and I get dripped on as I am driving, plus its haphazardness at starting)

I think I would actually like to be a wedding planner as it is nice to be able to see everything come together, plus I wouldnt have to pay for it! This wedding planning has brought out a side of me I never knew existed...being organised! On a daily basis I am always running around trying to find stuff I have lost or forgetting everything so it makes a change from my usual scatty self. It is however far too much effort to put into my daily life, I cant quite face making lists of where I have put my car keys, my checklists at work ?.

I got bored about 2 months in. I didn't get stressed about it at all I was just impatient and couldn't wait. We only had a 7 and a half month engagement and that dragged, don't think I could have coped with much longer.

I'm a bit hit and miss with it. I'm bored because I havent got enough to do! I just want christmas to come and go and then it'll be in full swing again.

I'm exactly the same! We have been engaged nearly 2 years, and been wedding planning for pretty much that entire time (though we don't have that much to show for it! ?) I've completely lost any motivation to do anything. I have my to do list, and know what we want to do for pretty much everything, we just can't be bothered to DO any of it!

Yes I totally felt like this. I even questioned whether it was all worth it.

It was.

Totally with you on this, it was my way of feeling like I was actually WP even when for a long time I stayed in the OT forum and didn't even come over to WP!!!

Nowadays though I take less and less interest in other peoples weddings, they are a distraction and I need to focus on my own. I'm finding this new attitude helps, even if it is rather selfish ?

Anyone who's had enough of weddings needs to get themselves over to "Off Topic".

Has a habit of curing those wedding blues and is also adddictive....

Not been around for a couple of days - good to see the number of people who agree with me, I'm not a weirdo after all!

Think I'm going to park the planning now until after Christmas, I'm sure I'll get my mojo back at some point. In the meantime, I might start venturing over to OT a little more, if they'll have me ?

I've been totally disillusioned by the whole wedding thing. Wishing I had just a few friends, a church and pub afterwards. Two small kids doesn't help. They are more excited than I am about 'our' wedding!

I do seem to be spending lots of time admiring other people's weddings and envying how creative they are. I think I'm worried mine will never look as amazing or people will think that no effort has gone into it. H2B isn't interested which doesn't help.

Am sure enthusiasm will return for all of us nearer the date!

I feel the same!! theres not much really i can do till nearer the time !!!

I just want it to be here now!!!

No one will think that and it will be amazing!

I hated wedding planning and didn't have time for it, so OH did most of it. I got my dress, but he pretty much did the rest. There were times when I even forgot the date! (I knew the date we were flying out, but never remembered the wedding date!). He also did most of the reception organising, I just mentioned things that I wanted and he did all dealings with suppliers.

I had a great wedding day, got bored at the reception 2 weeks later, and am glad life has returned to some sort of normality!

When we first booked our wedding we had 13 months to go. I got stuck straight in with the planning, everything was booked, I kept trawling the internet for ideas and spending money on wedding magazines. Then the novelty seemed to wear off ☹️. I think it was because there was still so long to go. Next thing I know I've got 99 days to go and am majorly panicking!! I wish that I did keep up the enthusiasm and take my time doing bits but I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like that. The enthusiasm will come back the closer it gets and in some ways it's a lot more fun because you know it's getting closer and it'll soon be here ?
