Second Thoughts....

I don't know if its the holiday stress but lately i'm having second thoughts about this whole wedding. The money aspect is taking away for the excitement. I have tickets to TWOTY so i'm hoping that puts me back into the wedding mode. I have been on a 2 month hiatus where i have not done any planning. Hope this passes....

I have felt that way also, sometimes the planning becomes so overwhelming. When I feel like that I totally back off, I don't do research, watch wedding shows, mags or even come on here. I think sometimes you need to just recharge your batteries and focus on other aspects of your life. I have taken a few breaks and I have always come back around and become more productive than I was originally.
I hope you feel better soon.

This happened to me too. It's totally normal. But, it sounds like you are doing the right thing. Just take a break from it and enjoy your time with FH. Eventually, you'll get right back into planning mode again. REmember, if you're not enjoying it---it's time to step back.

Hang in there...and I hope we meet up at TWOTY!

I am looking forward to TWOTY...think that might be the kick i need and who knows maybe i'll win a prize

I hear ya! Come end of Dec I think I'm taking a break. LOL It's a bit overwhelming.

The anxiety definitely comes in waves. I remember when I first started planning, I TOTALLY freaked out. It was SO overwhelming financially and with all the decisions we were faced with. I ended up taking a break and coming back with a much clearer vision. I've checked a few things off my list recently and feel that I might need another little break again. It's totally normal - just remember to be good to yourself and focus on the reasons why you want to marry your fiance. We tend to get caught up in all the craziness of planning one day when in reality, it's about marrying the person you love and starting a new life together. Keep breathing and take it one day at a time.

So true!

Absolutely this happens to everyone! Like the other brides said, sometimes you just need to focus on you and your FH and just enjoy being engaged. Then, you'll be excited again and get into the wedding mood. I usually have to do non-wedding stuff for about two weeks and then come back to it, it gets overwhelming. But the end result will be gorgeous and you'll wish you can do it again!!!

Thanks guys for the encouraging words...nice to know i'm not alone
