    Yes it is very normal..I think what happens is you put so much time into planning the wedding and when it comes closer to the time you actually have time to think about what getting married means..its like it just hits you suddenly. Its when you have actual DOUBTS about marrying him then you need to worry!

    Identify what it is about the wedding that has you feeling this way.

    Is it the wedding day itself? I often think about it and how fast its approaching and get almost an anxiety feeling and nervousness knowing so many people are going to be there watching us.

    Are you nervous about the marriage itself? Figure out exactly and communicate to your partner, this will help ease your nerves.

    And lastly, this might sound crazy, but planning has become a large part of my life, and I do enjoy it, I think a part of me will actually miss the idea of planning, and I know I will be stressing about things that need to be done, and worrying that vendors will show up, venues will be decorated etc.... maybe this also is causing your cold feet, if so depend on good friends and close family and delegate, delegate...delegate!! lol and remember to go with the flow

    You have to truthfully (from the core of your heart) answer this question: Do I want to marry him?

    If you truthfully can answer yes then marry him. If you don't then you MUST call off the wedding because the marriage will never work. (you may find out down the line you aren't happy.)

    Getting cold feet is Ok and I think its a good thing. Its a major decision to get married and to be completely stressed out is normal.

    Good luck to you.

    It's totally normal; everyone goes through it at some point. If you're really concerned you may want to look into premarriage counseling.

    I think it's from the thought that you'll be with this person for the rest of your life and that you don't know what will happen in the future.
