“So how’s wedding planning going?”

Next to “So how did you two meet?”¹ I find this question causes me the most stress about the wedding.  It’s not like we haven’t made any progress:

• We’ve got a date and a venue for the ceremony and reception.
• We put together our guest list for the most part.
• We’ve asked most of our wedding party to be our wedding party.
• We came up with budgeting goals.
• We’ve made arrangements with a designer for our invites.

That feels like a fair amount of stuff so I don’t know why I feel like we haven’t done anything whenever I get asked about it.

I don’t think I’ll really start worrying until January.  It’s easy to relax when you can say your wedding is “next year.”  Once I have to start saying it’s “X months away,” it will start feeling like speedy freight train of costs and details.
