When does it start to feel real?

I'm a little less than 5 months out and everything is SLOWLY starting to feel real to me.  Sending STDs didn't make a bit of difference to me, getting my dress made no difference either (I knew it was definately happening to me, just didn't feel real yet).  We booked 2 days ago and that's when things started feeling real.  Also, we received our first wedding gift in the mail last week and that felt AMAZING! smile159.gif I think it's little things like that which make it feel real to me.  I'm wondering when it will feel real to my fiance b/c I want him to share in my joy.  He says it won't feel real to him until he's there :(

I got this sense of calm when I saw my BM and mom running around in my hotel room getting ready and I was able to just sit on my balcony with my Dad for a bit. It really started to sink in that this was my wedding day. Then when we waited outside my room for the WC to pick us up to go to the ceremony site, it felt so real and I got super excited!  Before that it just felt like I was planning a party for everyone and was on vacation!

It doesn't seem real to me most days.  When we went wedding band shopping and he put the ring on his finger and said, hey how about this, I really like this one?  I looked at his hand, wearing the ring and semi-freaked out inside.  THAT made it feel real to me. 

 

Then later, I was back to normal and this all feels like playing make believe :)  Putting on my dress does not elecit the "real" feeling that I keep expecting it to.

I go through phases.  It feels real one day and then the next it's like ehh.nope.  My dress doesn't make it real either.  I like my dress, but I am not about the clothes if that makes sense.  My photography is what matters to me so maybe after we get engagement pix?

Maybe that will work, I never had engagment pics done cause I could care less if my hometown knew I was getting married!  I feel the same way about the dress, but I will tell you, as these last 2 weeks are rolling by and we are finalizing airport details, etc, I am starting to feel the anxiousness :)
