If I am this emotional now, how the hell will I cope on my wedding day in TWO YEARS TIME?!!

[NoEffingWaytoSurvive]

I don't think it's hormonal, but I read a book last night and had a cry as the protagonist's husband died and I was in bits thinking that one day DP will be gone before me-he is older and has health conditions so not totally without justification.
We are getting married in a few years and I was looking at readings and poems, and yet again found myself all weepy thinking about how much I adore him and am very lucky to finally meet someone who makes me feel so happy.

I may need some serious waterproof make-up when it comes to the actual day .

Talk some sense into me people. He's home from work soon, and probably isn't expecting a weeping woman on the sofa

I am a bit sleep-deprived in my defense!

I dunno, those are normal emotions. Not really sure what you're after here.

If you're not getting married for another two years the poems etc might not feel so emotive by then if you'll have spent two years looking at them.

That's not a dig, but an observation that the human body can only actually sustain intense emotional states for short bursts. It can only do waves.

Perhaps I should have put lighthearted in the title...

Or maybe grow up and look at the world around you.

Good to see the vipers are out!

Happy Friday you miserable bunch

I'd bring the wedding forward while you are still so keen on him!!!

Ignore them OP-I was the same. We got married 4 months after engagement-no other reason other than DH said he’d asked me to marry him, not to get engaged! But we managed to get a cancellation date-I cried for three days straight about the poor couple who had cancelled!🤣

Oh wow. I’m hoping you’re in your early twenties as an excuse for being so naive. If you’re older than that why not just marry this man of your dreams instead of waiting around to do it when anything could happen?
I don’t understand long engagements at all

@MoiraNotRuby have been keen for years, but only together for the past 18 months. Would get married tomorrow but the pandemic put a spanner in the works.

I am usually a cynic but have allowed my emotions to come out for once

@NoNobramma not naive or young.
There's been a few issues with getting married of late, hence the stupidly long engagement. It's a practical thing but it doesn't stop me thinking about my personal happiness, after years of being stuck in my previous crappy, loveless relationship.

Probably hormonal then. Peri-menopause? As I can’t understand a grown woman crying over the idea of her husband dying in years to come… or over poetry that’s probably twee and a bit naff… never heard a wedding poem that isn’t.

Probably more to do with working nights in a hospital and having three hours kip today.

Two years of washing his pants and seeing him load the dishwasher all wrong should sort this.

@eurochick

Hello @eurochick nice to see you - I've had a million name variations over recent years but rem your IVF journey. You did eventually get your little chick in the end didn't you? Hope you're all doing well

@catinboots21 wow good memory!

I did indeed - and she turns seven this month😱

Not sure who you were back then but I hope all is well with you. Those were tough times.

@catinboots21

Or maybe grow up and look at the world around you.

What a nasty sour comment. Strikes me that someone who makes a comment like that needs to grow up more than the OP

Op, well done on handling some of these answers with good natured grace!
I hear where you're coming from. I got emotional chosing mine, too. I didn't have a very stable upbringing so I also get emotional looking at the future as I get worried all the goodness will just be whipped away from me with no notice. I usually remedy that with loads of cuddles with my DH!

Have fun with the wedding prep :)
