I am glad to know I’m not alone! I feel the same way and there are still so many details to confirm. I feel like every time I make one decision five more pop up to take its place.
Hang in there.

I’m right there with you! The closer it gets, I don’t want to do anymore work, I just want to be married and celebrate. It’s almost here though, just remember that! We are THISCLOSE to our wedding days!

We’re at T-113 days, and while I’m dutifully rounding corners on cardstock and embossing swirlies onto shiny envelopes, my heart isn’t in it. And it’s not that I’m worried about the marriage! Sure, a large part of my reticence is because I feel like I’ve been let down my my Church - it’s like I’ve got my wonderful fiance, but without (the Catholic presence of) God, something is still missing. The worst part is, now that I don’t want to plan any more, there are more responsibilities on my list.

Although I have not yet lost the will to plan, I just want to take a nap! Like you, my priorities at work have taken over my life, and I am just plain tired. Hang in there! The wedding will be here before you know it!

i can definitely empathize with that! at least congrats on the wedding almost being there and have fun!! and here’s a tiny bit of advice for those not yet engaged or have been shortly… i would suggest an engagement of 6-9 months. Weddings are so exciting and a lot to plan, but it really isn’t that hard to do in less than a year (unless you DIY on everything it’d be a little tougher I suppose!) My fiance and I will have been engaged for just over 6 months when we get married, and for me going longer would be tough. I got so excited about planning and getting married that waiting any longer would be tooo long and just wear me out! we’re both in college, too, and it really isn’t that hard to balance with schoolwork. trust me. Anyway, I certainly understand reasons for having a longer engagement, but I encourage couples to consider shorter as it is easier emotionally and a bit more exciting! any other opinions on that?

This happened to me right before the wedding and it was actually good because (1) it helped me from feeling burned out and (2) it kept me from obsessing about little details right up until the last minute. So sometimes it can be a good thing– especially when it puts the event in perspective and reminds you that people are there to celebrate you two and probably won’t notice if there are monogrammed napkins and/or the table linens should have been a brighter color.

Yeah, I’ve lost the will to plan too. I’m kind of bored of planning, I just want the wedding now!

I think for some of us there is just a maximum of wedding stuff we can do and then we reach our fill.

Haha, so true! We recently made up our to-do list for all the details for our wedding in 6 weeks. We took one look at it and started taking things off. We don’t want to spend all our free time planning the wedding! There are just all kinds of little things that just don’t matter enough to make the cut when you’re looking at a realistic schedule.

Amen! I know how it is, after a almost 2 years of planning and 10 months to go. But, a nap is always recommended, regardless.

I feel exactly the same way! And our wedding is also in September… I think it’s because all the excitement & newness has worn off, and the remaining planning just seems like details & work.

But I keep telling myself the same thing you do. That and no guest is going to pour over the details like I do, so don’t sweat the small things

LOL @ What if I put potato chips in your hair and charge you for two bobby pins worth of work? Then I’ll just do my hair myself, thank you = giggle @ work

I feel you on that hon. I mean, honestly, it’s all going to turn out fabulous - so losing the will to plan is just fine. You deserve a break. Hang in there!

The funny thing is - thats the way i’ve been since the beginning! We have enough to time really be laid back. Since we have the time, i’ve done a lot of searching for things I’d like best (the right color company for my BMs etc), but the reality has been - if I woke up tomorrow and they said - you have to decide this NOW - ok - whatever - pick something pretty please. Tablecloths? Whats wrong with white? We’ll have some pretty flowers in the middle right? (To which my mother almost had a conniption fit.) Here’s the annoying thing - everyone keeps saying that IM being picky! HA! I know what I’ll be wearing - He will be in his uniform - we know the priest whos presiding, and have picked a cool location - and we’ve booked a rockin photographer (www.raelaytham.com) - other than that - nothing is going to make or break the wedding. If the mom’s match or clash - not my issue. If the cake aint grand - dont care as long as it tastes good. yet still - “michelle’s so picky!” - ha.

Two weeks to go and I definitely have WEDDING OVERLOAD!! I’m totally sick of thinking of all the little details. I keep thinking about past weddings I’ve been to and realize I barely remember what the table looked like, what the favors were, the program, was there one? blah, blah, blah….. let it be july, 5th already!

I’m feeling the same way, but I’m further away than ever from our wedding day. After 8mos of planning, we had to postpone by a year. We were supposed to be married Sept 08 and have now put it off to Sept 09. For various reasons, we’ve also had to spend nearly all of our wedding money (which wasn’t loads to begin with) and now have a miniscule ‘budget’ left. It’s pretty hard to get excited about planning again when I can’t afford to do anything I’d originally wanted to, but I know I need to get on booking stuff if we actually DO want to have a wedding next fall! Now I go back and forth between delaying further so we can save enough to replenish our original budget or just skipping everything but the piece of paper so that we can get on with our lives!!
