FUN THREAD~ you know your planning a wedding when...

*obsession with don't tell the bride

*not getting to sleep at night as too excited!!!

*looking forward to the postie coming with all my goodies

X

• talk about 'dressing' a table and not just laying a table.
• check your ticker everyday to see how much closer it's getting.
• if you weren't before you become addicted to e-bay !

When the "sponsored posts" and suggested pages on facebook consist only of venue decorators and photobooths for hire...

When people ask if you're excited yet lol

When everything you see you think how it would look in your colours

When you spend all day on hitched instead of doing your assignment!!

Oh & four weddings & you panic that everyone will slag off your choice of food, dress, entertainment &

You have deliveries from eBay everyday.

You check hitched forums every hour on the hour

You can't stop looking a pictures of cake

You look up all your friends/family wedding pictures on Facebook to remind yourself what they did/had etc.

OK I sound like a right * but bag.

*nut bag -but bag also good though

You notice your eBay rating has doubled in the past 6 months!

Xx

You can't not take a sideways look as you pass a wedding dress boutique.

you keep looking at your nails, skin, weight and thinking aaaargh

you only look at wedding shoes......

Pinterest, etsy and eBay become your new best friends

You're always either scared, stressed or excited & sometimes all 3 at once

You record & watch every wedding programme on tv

You start obsessing over the smallest detail that noone else would have noticed I.e the perfect nailvarnish!

You spend every break & lunch time on hitched or looking on confetti, ebay, etsy...

You not only know what pom poms are but actively spend money on them..much to your OH dismay

• Every conversation I have with people somehow turns back to wedding planning.
• Having more secrets from OH than have in the whole of the rest of our relationship (which is a good 9 years)
• Every shopping trip (including to the supermarket) I am looking for things for the wedding, sometimes without even realising I'm doing it.
• Old bedroom at parents house is now commonly known as the 'wedding room'

When you've been drinking meal replacement shakes for breakfast and lunch for the last three weeks because your dress fitting is coming up!

When you have no idea what you used to do on the internet before Rock My Wedding, Love My Dress, Hitched and weddings on Pinterest...

When you start getting your parcels delivered to your work address, because waiting 4 hours til you get home is just TOO LONG!

When you start second guessing every wedding decision you've made.

When you HEAR yourself boring your friends about wedding talk, but just can't stop!

When you dream weddings.

When you finally, truly understand why your married friends got so annoyed at guests issues. (We sympathised, but never really understood, until now!!!!)

When, " I don't need this" turns into "it would be nice to have it!" to " I MUST have it for the wedding!"

When £700 for some flowers or £300 for a cake seems like a bargain!

When chairs that are perfectly fine to sit on just HAVE to be covered

When you ordered 20 flower girl dresses online just to make sure you choose the perfect one..then end up annoying everyone taking them all back to the shop

....."I'm sorry I don't understand. What do you mean there is something else going on somewhere in the world that is not related to my wedding...." lol

When you refresh your email inbox every couple of minutes incase a supplier has emailed you back! x

Haha I love ALL these and can relate to most, also have a few more:

• when you used to go to bed at a decent hour but somehow you manage to survive on 5 hours sleep because you MUST finish what you started doing/ making/ googling!

• you now know your postmans name and have a full conversation every time he brings a package about it and the wedding.

• you start to wonder what an earth you used to fill your time with before your OH proposed!

When all anyone else talks to you about weddings. We did they talk about before.

When most of the guest want you to go shopping with them for an outfit or saying will this be ok. No really come in a clown suit for I care just as long as your there.

When other half keeps getting up early 2pm (works nights not lazy) and jumping down the stairs singing I'm dancing in my pants....think he's far more excited than anyone else.

Also another one who can't get off hitched. Morning night and in-between clients.

This ^^^ and

- When you sit on the stairs just before leaving for work to check hitched and read more threads.

- At the till waiting for customers you suddenly decide to write wedding ideas on little bits of till roll, knowing full well the boss could spot you on the CCTV.

- When a conversation starts you wish they would ask you "how's the wedding planning going" so you can reel off how organised or unorganised you are even though you know it's over a year away!

When all you hear in your head is the wedding march

These are the only two that really apply to me! I suspect if I were having a more traditional wedding and/or a reception, it would be a LOT more

This! It helps that I haven't got much uni work right now, but when I do, I doubt much will get done probably until the very last minute!

A lot of the above apply, ebay/pinterest/etsy best friends.

Having the postman recognise you in the street as he delivers to you so often!

desperately googling pictures of your dress hoping to find pictures of "real" brides in it

and then there's this weeks - when you start wondering if the VAT man would accept "Hitched addiction" as a reason for a late return? lol!!

Seriously can't concentrate on it when I want to have a nose on here lol!!

x

Basically all of the above!

Also when the front room is totally covered in bits of threads, hessian and glue gun blobs from yet another DIY evening.

When you check the long range weather forecast about once and hour, but only pay attentions to the ones where it says it will be sunny!!

When you cant remember what a full nights sleep is!

When you feel guilty spending money on anything that isnt wedding related!

The wedding dress stalking is a BIG one for me..why can't I find other brides wearing my dress? Is it a good thing - I am original or bad thing- noone likes it!?

And to add - checking back on this thread constantly to see if there are any more you can relate to!

We aren't getting married for 2+ years and I haven't slept a full night since we decided to get married! Already spending everyday picking over colour schemes and dresses and am severely worried how I'm going to manage waiting and being like this everyday for the next 28 months!

When everyone greets you with "have you got your dress yet"

WOAH there fellow Doll, you need to stop and take a breath, or you'll have bags under your eyes like suitcases by the time the wedding does roll around and you don't want that, do you?

YKYWPW.....you start worrying about such things as makeup and nail varnish having studiously ignored these things for the last 30 years. The most recent eye shadow I own is the one I bought to get married in Jan 1991. I'm really going to have to take myself in hand *sigh*.
