The drama: I have a to-do list that seems miles long.
The joys: thinking about what’s already been planned and decided upon. And realizing that Mr. Peeps and I are on final countdown for the big event!
The tears: the waterworks have started to fall—I started crying on the way to the gym yesterday and while making a haircut appointment for Mr. Peeps. Yep, while on the phone with a stranger, I had to hold back the overwhelming feeling to start crying.
We’ve been planning this wedding for what seems like forever. And now, each task brings an overwhelming feeling of excitement.
I have also noticed that my wedding panning habits have changed dramatically since day one. When I first started wedding planning, I looked everywhere for inspiration, and I looked on vendor websites for hours on end. Today, I’m done with new inspiration, and I now I only look at vendor sites for the pretty pictures.
I’ve had a vision of the big day, and for better or worse, the day is planned, linens are ordered, flowers are set, and the ties and shoes have been picked out. And now, I just need to cry it out and enjoy the day!
Has the wedding caused an overwhelming need to cry (tears of joy, of course!)?

Everytime I hear the song we’re using for our first dance, I tear up!
Girlfriend, cry it out. Sometimes it just feels good to cry cry cry. Maybe if you cry now, you’ll have the “pretty cry face” on the wedding day, not the dreaded “ugly cry face.”
@EAQ219: That’s what I am hoping for!!! No ugly cry face!
Aww! So exciting for you!! I totally blanked and forgot that you were a May bride. You’re almost in the home stretch, you’ll make it 
Enjoy every moment!
I’ve been negotiating the terrain of tears of joy and tears of “I’m so over this”.
I got all warbly-voiced during a closing exercise for our Pre-Cana weekend (which was in November) that was similar to wedding vows. By the end, I was totally streaming tears…and hoping I don’t ugly cry at the wedding!
Like, any and all romantic songs. Especially “Everything” by Michael Buble. I get the wobbly voice and can’t go on singing. And possible readings for the ceremony? Forget about it. Quivering lips, the whole works. ^_^
Oh man, I am a teary mess at any wedding now, and I was never “that girl” before. I even started crying at a friend’s bridal shower a couple of weeks ago during a slide show of her and her FI. Needless to say I have invested in waterproof mascara and eyeliner for the big day
My wedding isn’t until July and I’m already getting those teary moments! Cry it up girl and enjoy every moment!
I saw a man wearing a suit with a yellow tie…and started tearing up! It reminded me of what my FI wants to wear, and I got all…mushy!
so weird, cuz i’m the opposite. up until this last month (i’m t minus 19 days now), i’ve been super emotional. and now i’m numb…i think it is going to crash on me hard though on the wedding day.
Only tears of joy? I have to be honest that the final month….well, really the final three weeks, there have been some stressful situations, mostly dealing with family and the “Details” of how the day is going to unfurl, that have caused some teary moments for me. Happy tears have had their place too, but there’s been a bit of both for this May bride
@TheEditrix: I never thought I was that girl either!! Oh well. Never say never.
@reesey: I can see that happening in the final count down too.
@West Coast Bride: Ha ha, I think I got the stress tears out last month. Now it’s all just an emotional roller coaster.
I feel you! Not so bad, yet, but I have been crying more at random times lately. It’s the excitement of our plans, the love that I feel for him and how amazing it is seeing our future unfold right in front of our eyes!
OH…I am totally gonna have UGLY cry face, but oh well! Thats just whats gonna happen and I have to deal. I have been on the verge of crying over everything…especially when I hear the first dance songs….oh yea…blubbers-ville!
I cry basically everytime I do something wedding related and we’re still 10 months away! I’m hoping I get all the tears out of my system so I don’t spend my whole wedding day bawling and ruining my make-up.
No crying yet, but I’ve got time. Like EAQ219, cry it out, so there will be no Ugly Face Cries at the wedding
So excited for you! It’s getting close!
My wedding is June 6th, and I cry at the drop of a hat. I was home this past weekend and started crying when I was standing in my parents back yard. No reason. I also cry at ATT commercials with the “more bars in more places” line where there is a couple communicating from far away.
No worries, its normal!
Ah!!! Almost there! I will be FREAKING out when our time comes. So don’t worry, you’re absolutely normal. lol
