One Year Away!

Bianca, on August 4, 2018 at 00:15

Posted in Before the wedding 61

I'm so excited and a little nervous that my wedding is officially under a year away as of 15 minutes ago! Where has the time gone?! Has anyone else had that "ah ha!" moment when they realized that their wedding date was fast approaching? It's eating me up like butterflies and getting me all excited...

    That's a great name! How does he feel about it? I think we can all agree that it's more common for girls to change their names after they get married, so what's the reaction been when people find out he's changing his too?

    That makes sense, especially for honeymooning!

    Our name will be new and original, a combination of our last names! His is Neufeld and mine is Hauser so we're combining to Neuhauser Smiley laugh

    I would assume you could change it pre-wedding just in case someone wanted to have their passport reflect their married name.

    That's so sweet how you're doing a combined name! Is it hyphenated or something completely new and original?

    I get your sarcasm on the paperwork lol.

    Me and my FH are both changing our last names to a combined name. It'll definitely be more paperwork but it's what we want to do. We won't be changing it right after the wedding, but definitely at some point. I didn't know you could change it before the wedding lol

    Sounds like you're on the ball with everything! I'm so excited for you! I hope you post a little something about your wedding after the fact (and after the honeymoon if you're doing it right away!) Smiley smile

    A little bit of both! Definitely starting to relax and enjoy things, but there are also some last minute things to do (not many left thankfully)! Our list is getting pretty short, and it's mainly things to do next week - get my ring cleaned, steam all of our "getting ready robes", get stuff for breakfast for the morning of (just doing bagels, toast, etc), have my final dress fitting, and put tips into envelopes for certain vendors! Other than that, I think it's going to be smooth sailing! I'm SO excited - even though it doesn't feel real yet!

    Oh yeah, the marriage certificate part should be fun to get (that's sarcasm in case you missed it). If you don't mind if I ask, are you changing your name or keeping yours? I'm torn between doing mine pre-wedding or post.

    We've been engaged since last October (10 months now). I feel like everything is waiting to build up too. I feel good about coming up to the one year mark, I just booked my officiant and I want to book my DJ by the one year mark as well! I think once I get to a point where we have to do legal stuff and plan out our vows, it'll get real, real quick.

    Hahah what happened at 10 months? Was it something specific or just a "HEY, IT'S ALMOST HERE!" moment lol.

    How long have you been engaged? I think the longer the time is between the engagement to the wedding, the more everything builds up. How are you feeling coming up towards the one year mark? On the entire day, all I could think about was "oh, a year today I will be getting married, hmmm".

    That damn timer counts down so fast! I agree that it is so surprising how quickly the time disappears - especially if you're having a long engagement.

    How are you feeling leading up to everything? Do you feel prepared? Excited? Anxious? I'm personally everything and nothing all at the same time depending on the day lol.

    Aw, that's so sweet that he had a "this is real" moment! I'm convinced that my FH won't have one, or won't make a stink and tell me about it.

    How does it feel now post-wedding for you Stephanie?

    You're so good already having gotten your dress! I've been procrastinating on that one because it involves coordinating several people (when I'd rather go alone tbh!).

    How far are you with planning? I'm always worried that I'm behind (when I know I'm not really).

    OMG you're like less than 2 weeks away now! What else do you have to get done or are you just enjoying the days leading up? Congrats on being so close!

    Omg you're so close! Your cake tasting is tomorrow too! How excited are you? What's even involved with that (we're not doing a cake, so haven't looked into what goes into a tasting)?

    Ah wedding date twin! How are you coming along with your planning? I'm getting anxious about not having my hair and makeup done (since I've had nothing but hair and makeup nightmares for the past week lol)!

    I hit the "Just over a year away mark" instead of the "two years out" mark lol this weekend at our engagement party. Still a ways out and feels a little surreal still. I saw my shoes in person this weekend and it hit me a little, but not a lot.

    Every time I come on this site and see the countdown I am surprised. I can not believe how close we are. We are 222 days out. The first time it felt super real for me was picking a wedding dress.

    So exciting! I can't really remember my "this is real" moment. For my husband, it was when we went for our marriage licence.

    The moment for me was when it went from 2017 to 2018. I could now say I was getting married this year. And now with our wedding in 4 weeks, well the countdown is really on!

    It felt like just yesterday we were a year out and now it’s only 5 months and 15 days away. Time has passed by so fast. Sooooo excited for our wedding. My brothers are going to do traditional singing and drumming for me as I walk down the isle. We go cake tasting in 10 days and I’m sooo excited for designing my cake.

    I mean mines still 477 days away but honestly I’ve already had it. There was this point where I kind of went “Oh it’s closer to the year mark than the two year mark” and it made me realize just how fast time is passing!
