b/c we were both a little buzzed from a work happy hour, and didn't feel like cooking. We get seated, and at the table behind DH's chair, I spotted 5 girls flipping through bridal magazines. They were obviously planning, though I couldn't figure out which one was the bride.
I suddenly felt a bit jealous! This was my first real moment of 'I want to do it all over again' feelings, and it was really weird.
DH saw me looking at them and asked what was wrong and I told him, and he said 'uh, uh, no way. you are DONE. I want my Lizzy back!' So that snapped me out of it real quick, and I then zoned in on the menu and the margherita that was plunked down in front of me.
Anyway, just thought I'd share since I knew you girls would understand.

If only! I would have joined right in if it was!
I'm in one of my 'I miss LI' moods today. It's gorgeous out today here, but I'd kill for a walk on the board walk at Sunken Meadow or Robert Moses.

I totally understand. DH & I were in Borders the other day and I went to magazine section and automatically headed to the Bridal magazines and DH had to tell me to put down the magazine.

Re: So, DH and I went out to dinner last night...
I can totally relate!! when I hear that kind of stuff it makes me want to give my 2 cents of advice about planning and still be able to get excited about dresses, vendors, catering halls etc., .....but I have to admit it is nice to just do nothing (literally!) when I feel like just hanging around on the weekends w/ DH. I think that feeling like you want to do it all over is at its peak for like the month afterwards......it will get better as more time passes (at least gratefully it has for me!!)

Re: So, DH and I went out to dinner last night...
oh BOy I can relate to this more than you Girls know!
My DH teases me all the Time. Esp since I kinda had two weddings in less than 3 months.
We renewed our vows for my grandmother who couldn't attend our first wedding due to her illness. She went into ER for surgery the day of our wedding.
I was planning more when we got back from the HM. It was a much smaller scale but it was still planning all over again.
My DH says o.k are you on the LIWed site now b/c u are planning another wedding for us??? I kid him and say Yes 3 x is a charm!
He always asks me when will I be getting my 'baby' back? I am always doing something - putting a HM book together picking out photos for our wedding album.. etc.
I think us girls need a get-a-way w/our DH's to unwind!

Yes! Exactly! I wanted to pull up a chair and join right in! Of course I wouldn't, but I find that I am restraining myself from giving advice to the 3 girls in my office who are getting married this year (our office has gone from wedding factory to baby factory in the span of a year and a half...kind of weird).

awesome! DH is a gigantic Yanks fan (I am a Mets fan, myself, but I cheer all NY teams), so he'd be in without a doubt.

I shudder to imagine what would happen At least he is actually from MA originally so it's logical that he should have that particular allegiance. the worst thing in the entire WORLD are Red Sox fans from some random a$$ state with no baseball team who just jump on the bandwagon because they think it's cool to hate the Yankees
In the meantime we should seriously consider finding out how many of us are down here....

agreed on both points.
I'm dumb when it comes to finding this stuff, but how can we find out the schedule? are they even out yet?

Re: So, DH and I went out to dinner last night...
aww, I totally know how you feel! I tell DH all the time that I miss planning for our wedding! The other day he caught me watching a wedding show on TV and was like 'Why do you even bother - it's not like you need to get any more wedding ideas!' But I still get into wedding stuff! One of my BMs is engaged, so I can't wait to help her plan!
