For the past month and half I can honestly say I’ve spent a fair amount of time wishing for all the planning to just be over, and for us to be married. Which in retrospect, is a complete shame. Yes, planning has been stressful, but I won’t ever plan our wedding again, so wouldn’t it be better to remain present and enjoy this stage of our lives?

I always see a fair amount of talk regarding “staying present” in the moment on the actual wedding day. I’m beginning to feel that it’s just as important to remain present for your planning. Here we are, in an in-between stage of life, a stage filled with excitement, hope, and promises and for almost 60 days I’ve just been wishing it were over.

Which isn’t to say because I wanted our relationship to be over, it’s more of the, “OMG there is so much left to do!!!!!” feeling that gets me down. Which, in reality, stems from the fact that I put too many crazy projects on my plate and should have finished them a month ago. Yet, I still find myself adding more projects even though we’re coming into our final week.

Both my and Mr. D’s stress levels have reached an all-time high. The other day we were in the car and he turned to me and said the things I’d been thinking for quite a while.

“Is it bad to say that I just want to be married and for this whole thing to be over and done with?”

So, we agreed yesterday that although it was stressful, that we would really try to remain present in what we were doing and why it was important. To focus on this celebration of our union with our family and friends and not focus on how sick we are of cutting and sanding wine bottles (and our 7897345798 other tasks).

Have you found yourself wishing the planning process was over already?
