"Marriage"

So, I'm getting married in 7 weeks. I don't think it's still sunk in properly. I have bouts getting excited about it, like when we went for suit fittings etc. It feels real then, same as when we were looking for a venue. Right now though, on a slow friday afternoon at work, it doesn't.

I'm not scared by the thought of it. But on the otherhand, right now, I'm not excited by it either. I'm just like "I'm getting married soon, that's cool." And that's about it.

Is this normal? Are there many married people on here? I'm not getting cold feet at all, it's just.... other people are more excited about it than I am. Maybe it's a bloke thing?

Maybe it's the fact that I've got to use nearly all my holiday for the honeymoon, so I've not had a single day off work this year, and I'm starting to drag because of it.

Anyway, the whole institution of marriage is fine by me. Over the last 3 years me & Mrs YH (to be) have been to about 10 weddings. All bar two have been church weddings. All bar one of them are still happily together. Although I know for a fact that at least one of them has most certainly had it's downs.

Not really sure what the point of this thread is to be honest. Friday musings that now it's out I can't be bothered (or don't want to for some reason) delete. Maybe it's something I'll add too over the next few weeks. Maybe I won't. Maybe it's something that will get some replies, or maybe it's something that none of you will read. Who knows?

Hopefully your best man is better than this guy, YH :)

Like that, more slurred. :D

Ha ha, I bet you'll find you've got plenty to plan:)

I never even used a speech, just ad-libbed. As long as you remember to thank everyone and save the last bit of thanks for your wife, you'll be fine.

Not long to go now. Pretty much on track with everything. Only nerves so far are when I think about the speech. It's written, and I'm sure it's not the worst speech ever. Still a bit nervous about that though. Apart from that it's all good. Starting to get excited too, which is a bonus.

I liked helping sort it all out. At the end of the day I'm paying for it, so I want a say in what happens / gets booked / gets bought etc.

Plus I just like organising things. I'll be all depressed after the honeymoon, I'll have nothing to plan :-)

Why? A little more discreet might have had a greater effect:)
