Over It.

Over It.

Less than one month away from the wedding, I’ve been getting the same two questions over and over from friends and family.

Question #1: Are you ready?

Answer: Not yet, but I’m pretty confident we will be.

Question #2: Are you excited?

Answer: Yes. I am excited for it to be over.

That’s right. The closer we get to the wedding, the more I can’t wait for the whole deal to be over and done with. I can’t wait till the day AFTER the wedding. After spending eighteen months and many thousands of dollars on wedding planning, I am totally over it.

I’m not the only one who has felt this way. Once she was about a month out, Cardy was totally over it, too! Her words were “burned out,” and dudes: I am burned out, too.

Please don’t get me wrong: I am so thrilled that Mr. S and I are going to finally get married. I’m elated that all of our loved ones will be there. I am stoked about what I think will be a pretty kick-ass party with good music, tasty food, and plentiful libations. And I can’t wait to get dolled up in a pretty outfit. I am looking forward to our wedding, very much so.

But I am tired of DIY, seating charts, and vendor-wrangling. I’m sick of schedules and spreadsheets and the pile of wedding crap that has overtaken our home. More than anything, I can’t wait to get our normal lives back. I can’t wait to focus on other aspects of life: blogging and other projects, my career, fixing up our new home, continuing to get in shape, and most importantly, my relationship with Mr. S.

I hope I don’t come off as bitter or negative. I don’t regret a single moment of the pre-wedding process, even the shittiest parts. I feel like planning a wedding has helped me to learn a lot about life and about myself. Possibly best of all, planning a wedding has brought me to this incredible community right here at Weddingbee. It’s been a fun ride.

But I’m over it. I just want to get married and get on with my life!

Is anyone else getting burned out on wedding planning as the date approaches?

im feeling the burn too. i can only diy for a little while before i get frustrated or tired. im tired of waiting for things im supposed to do like send the invites (which are finished except for stamps) but cant be mailed for another month at the earliest. im tired of the hurry up to wait pace of everything. hurry and finish the caterer menu to wait to taste it. hurry to find a baker, to wait to taste the cake to wait to see the final product (in almost 5 months) hurry to do this and that and then wait and wait and wait.

I felt that way, 100%, at about the same point you’re at now. The good thing is - at that point, because I didn’t really care about anything, I didn’t really care when anything wasn’t the way I planned it.

I’ve been asked those same two questions as of late. Most of the time I try to re-direct the conversation elsewhere!

Sloth, I am so with you. I am so burned out. There’s still so much to do, but I can’t bring myself to do it. I walked into our ‘wedding crap room’ yesterday, and cried because I can’t even move around in the room. I have no idea where to start.

Oh, and add question #3 to the list…. “Are you stressed?” My answer? “Eff yea!”

I, too, can’t wait for it to be over. I’ve had enough fun, can’t I just be married yet? I think for me, I’m just tired of being worried about silly things, including (but not limited to) being anxious that I might feel anxious on W-day. Talk about driving myself up a wall!

I feel the same way! I feel like I’ve already decided all of the things I care about, so can’t someone else just tie up the last minute details??? At this point I just want to show up and have a blast.

I’m under 4 months, and I feel like I’m already burnt out. There are so many decisions left to make, and they are decreasingly fun and increasingly annoying/stressful. Hopefully everything will come together just in time for me to have another fit of the blahs at the 1-month mark

We are 18 days away from our big day and I keep getting the same two questions too. *Are you ready? and *Are you nervous?
One woman at work told me today when I answered the second question with a No, that she WANTS me to be nervous. WTHeck?

But I must say….i’m not really ready for it to be all over with. I am ready for all that you mentioned…the party, the people, the music, the dancing, the food, the GORGEOUS dress…..but not burnt out just yet….guess its a good thing, huh?

I am with you! I am so burned out. We are 12 days away. When we dropped off all of our “wedding crap” at the venue last weekend, I felt such relief. But I am so excited to get married and go on our honeymoon! And get back to real life!

You literally took the words right out of my mouth… I am more excited for the 2 day in Costa Rica before the wedding and the three days after everyone leaves. I just need the vacation!

I am definitely over it! I am sick of people asking me if I am nervous or ready. I did all the fun stuff, now all thats left is the many little annoying details. I couldn’t agree with you more, I want my life back! LOL.
