Anyone else feel like this?

I am extremely cranky and irritable. Whenever it comes to talking about the wedding w anyone (mom, fmil, friends, fh) I am just a snot about it. I don't know what happened. I was gung ho about it and now...

Sometimes....I'm usually gung-ho, but occasionally even I get tired of hearing myself talk about it. Someone once posted that 'how are the wedding plans?' becomes a stand in for talk about the weather.
The other thing that irks me is 'Are you all done?' NO! People have been asking me that since before the one month mark. I know they don't mean anything, but it totally stresses me out.
This week I was just cranky in general...PMS! This morning I almost took FH's head off and it wasn't even wedding related. I think it's all just the jumble of many emotions, sprinkled with nerves and stress.
I'm sure as you cross things off the list, you'll get back to gung-ho-ness. My coworker just got married and was stressed leading up to it. The day of she said she couldn't have been in a better mood.

i was that way for a few months before. I kept getting so aggrevated and didn't want to hear anything because it was so close, I didn't want to second guess!
I also had nice little panic attacks.
It will pass, you know what you have done and whats ahead. You'll be OK and definately not alone!

I feel that way too but I think it's less wedding planning-related and more related to all the other stuff in my life that has to be taken care of before we can leave for our wedding and HM. We're OOT so we have to pack EVERYTHING and haul it to NY in a little over a week. I'm going to be out of work for 3 weeks so I have to leave instructions for a lot of things so my coworkers (bless 'em!!) can take care of stuff while I'm gone. I have to clean my house because we have people staying in it while we're away. And I'm super stressed about forgetting stuff when we leave the house cuz there's kind of no turning back once we drive home.

Ohhh - I'm right with you ladies...I try so hard not to be crazy, but I got so used to people offering up their unsolicited & persistant (you're-an-idiot-for-doing-it-otherwise) advice that I unknowingly started snipping & yelling at people before they even had the opportunity to finish their sentances. It got exhausting, though, so now I'm in 'I no longer care about anything' mode and I'm a lot more agreeable...people no longer look frightened when bringing up the plans to me anymore

My commuting buddies are always pestering me for details.
I used to give them some minor info, then asked a question to one of the girls who loves to hear herself talk. This same girl would always 'tell' me what to do, which I can't stand because I am 40 freakin years old. I don't need to take advice from someone who hasn't been married for 24 years !

Last week I started telling them that I am all done, just waiting. Not really, but I am just tired of the third degree about the wedding.

Let me just stress by myself.

I had the SAME exact thing happen to me shortly before my wedding. I was so bummed b/c I thought I should have been really happy and excited, but I was so irritable and annoyed by everything. Don't worry. If people ask about the wedding, just tell them that everything's great, but you're overdosing on wedding stuff right now, and would rather not talk too much about it.
Remember too, that people probably aren't trying to irritate you by talking about the wedding--their intentions are probably good.

These 'symptoms' if you will are sooooooooo totally normal, especially at your stage in the planning! I was a total emotional basket case the last 2 weeks before my wedding. My poor DH! I didn't know what was wrong with me. I was feeling so overwhelmed and even depressed, I'd cry about everything little thing and I felt so guilty for not being excited about the wedding! I just wanted it all over with.
But the day of my wedding, COMPLETELY different! Yes I had butterflies, but I was in no way the emotional wreck I had been the weeks leading up to that day!! It's normal to feel the way you do!

Re: Anyone else feel like this?

I totally understand. I'll get into these fits of doing all DIY stuff for the wedding and be able to sit there for hours and be totally fine. All of a sudden, my mood can completely flip and I become cranky and a total b!tch, but then you give me like half an hour, and then I'm fine again. And then I always feel so terrible for being such a pain.

Oh yeah, I think it's because I'm stressing out about everything. I'm the one dealing with vendors, yet FH has the questions. I'm like hey why don't you call and ask that.

It never happens, plus I'm pmsing so I know I'm miserable right now. I just want our day to go smoothly. I have 7 more days!!!!
