I'm finally over my addiction...
... to wedding shows!! Lol. I've been obsessed with wedding shows for as long as I can remember. And weddings in general. It was very rare that I'd watch anything else, and my poor H (then fiance) was simply dragged along for the ride. From Wedding Sunday on WE, to the Wedding Channel, to Wedding Friday on TLC. I was devastated when the Wedding Channel went off the air last year!
One of my recently married coworkers told me that after her wedding, she didn't have much interest in wedding shows anymore, so I was wondering (and hoping) if the same would happen to me.Then a few days ago, I was watching Four Weddings, and the girls started talking about the couple's signature drink named Blue. My stomach lurched at that moment and I thought about our signature drink, which we never got the time to name. The name didn't matter, it tasted AMAZING. But I had a moment when I thought "Ugh, who cares?" and I had to change the channel. My interest just wasn't there.
I still love weddings, and love looking at wedding pictures of friends, family, acquaintances and their families. But I guess I'm not interested in all the work and competition, the stress, the details... I don't know. It's different now. I'm still a Say Yes to the Dress fan; the dresses are so pretty and the individual dress shopping experience is interesting, it's so personal and unique. But everything else, meh... Looking forward to exploring the rest of the cable shows that I pay way too much for 
Re: I'm finally over my addiction...
I feel the same way =] Now I see a wedding show, and I'm just like...meh. Been there, done that.
Don't get me wrong, wedding planning was fantastic, our wedding day was amazing, it's great to look back and remember...but I am just over that phase. In 10 years, I'm sure all the obsessing over the wedding day seems as silly as me obsessing over prom 10 years ago. Ok, so maybe that isn't a TOTAL parallel, but I do feel like as time passes after the wedding, it just seems so much less important than it did say, 3 weeks before the big day!
My MOH is getting married on Friday. Needless to say I remember what it felt like to be 3, 2, 1 week out...all the things she is having to stress over & problems to work out. But at the same time, I do feel this sense of being very over the whole thing.
I am totally over the wedding shows! I was 100% addicted to them and always have been and now I'm just like I don't want to watch unless nothing else is on.
My cousin (little sister practically) is now engaged and is starting her planning me being MOH and recently married have become her wedding planner since she is not girlie and really has no clue what to do. Fine by me but I seriously feel like I just got over all of this and really don't want to start it all over again. I love her and have no problem doing my MOH duties BUT planning? I would rather pass.
Glad to see the experience is not just my own! I never thought I'd not care about a wedding show!
Mancila, I feel for you. Idk if I could handle any sort of wedding planning, at least not so soon. I was a bridesmaid 2wks after my own wedding and even that was a bit too much, though I'm sure it made my friend's day WAY easier b/c I knew a lot of what to look out for after my own day. Good luck with the planning!
Seek counseling immediately! Just kidding...
I am so over wedding shows. My DH has never been happier. He was threatening to send me to psychiatrist ASAP if I didn't get over those shows!
