Pre-wedding blues

AutumnRose, 25 May, 2010 at 06:39 Posted on Planning 0 10

Not sure if i'm just a bit batty or if anyone else if feeling the same but i've got 7 weeks left on saturday until the wedding and i'm feeling really low about it.

Everything is pretty much booked and organised, we've still got balances to pay off which is stressing me out a lot i think. I'm also in the last month of my PGCE (teacher training) which is unbelievably stressful and i'm up all hours working. I think these are both contributing to me really not enjoying the run up.

I have waves of feeling SO excited but i'm already worried about feeling sad its over - i was really upset after my hen do finished!!!

It's not cold feet or wedding nerves - my H2B is love of my life and i cannot wait to be his wife but i'm just feeling odd at the moment.

We've got an amazing HM to St Lucia booked and, tbh, i'd rather skip straight to that and just be with H2B by ourselves.

I love my dress and venue and everything else we've choosen but it all feels like it's happening to someone else and i feellike i'm missing out not loving the run up. I finish uni/school on 23rd june so i'm hoping last few weeks will be better after that's out of the way.

Not really much need to reply i guess - just needed to get it off my chest!!! Although if anyone else has felt/is feeling the same it might make me feel less loony!!!

    If you've nothing left to organise and you are just waiting then it's normal to feel a bit deflated. You couldn't keep up a mood of excitement for 7 weeks you'd go crazy lol

    I think you just have sooo much going on at the minute you dont have time to relax and enjoy it! As soon as the exams and all are over you will be fine!!

    Hi Twinnie

    Im feeling similar so dont worry, only a few things left to organise but feel quite deflated and just want to get on with the wedding now!!

    Im having a real stressful time as well as we have got family issues with OHs family due to a fallout with his sister, who is currently not coming to our wedding and yet she is my only bridesmaid and best friend to, to add to this work is extremely stressful and we are buying a house lol!!!

    I think ive got worked up by the whole wedding and now im relaxing i think i need to be doing something which is stressing me out even further, the money situation is also causing me to be slightly stressed what with buying a house as well.

    I think im going to try and chill have a cup a tea and enjoy the sunshine!!

    I do kind of know what you mean, it's weird! I think the money thing has a lot to do with it, I have been really struggling for the past few months and just wish I actually had some!

    OH and I have both been a bit stressed with everything and coupled with the money issues means we really haven't spent much time together over the past few months. It seems most of our spare time is taken up with seeing friends seperately, so it feels like we're not making much of an effort with each other.

    I'm sure it's just the stress, the build-up and the money issues and that it will pass, but I can relate to how you're feeling! Getting married is a massive commitment and I think it can bring out some odd emotions in the lead-up.

    Hug for all fellow loony brides ?

    Hey Kerryanneellis - you wanna join the loony bride club? ? I defo think that the money due to suppliers in the last 10 weeks is a killer - R&I have had so many fights about it

    I have definately felt the same on & off this last couple of months, I think it must be fairly normal!

    I've gone from having a Matron of Honour & page boy, to not, to having them again, to definately not having them - all in the space of the last 4days...it seriously wears you out.

    I'm looking forward to the day as you say & love all the things we've chosen, its just waiting for it all & hoping nothing else goes wrong!

    ? It sounds rather normal to be stressed and deflated. When you have finished your course you can relax a bit more and actually enjoy the final build up to your big day with the love of your life!

    Thanks girls - i'm so glad i'm not the only loon!

    I think it's just the weight of all the millions of things going on at the moment. I'd like to fast-forward a month. Uni will be finished, everything will be paid and i can enjoy the build up!!! I hope.........

    You guys are great!!!
