[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I advise you to postpone the wedding awhile more.

Reason being, you are having some doubts already. These may be valid ones too that are just now coming to the surface and may be caused by age, experience and/or pressure.

[b]A bride should expect her wedding day to be the best day ever in her life thus far. She should feel like a princess all day[/b] and expect to make wonderful memories for the rest of her life.

[b]And the idea of being Mrs. ______ should be exciting just in thought.[/b]

If you seriously have zero anticipation when thinking of walking down that aisle, don't do it.

Allow yourself more time to be engaged and look at your relationship as a whole to determine if this is in fact what you truly want.

Hope this helps.[/quote]

Is this the 1950s version of DCUM?

Seriously.  This is not what marriage is all about.

However, it is similar to OP's OP.  Giddiness. Imagining your new name. All of that strikes me as both old-fashioned and immature.

BUT setting aside the window dressing, if you're not sure then postpone the wedding. Spend some time thinking about how you want to spend the next 50 years, not your new name or your pretty pretty princess day.

Sincerely,
A happily-married woman who kept my name, who found my wedding day somewhat exhausting and stressful, who can name at least a half dozen occasions that were more fun and joyful than that day,   who simply does not *do* 'giddy,' and who remains rock- solid certain that I was right to commit to a lifetime with my husband.
