The truth is though he isn't actually excited about the marriage preparations! He has described getting married as something he "just wants to get it over with." And he actually hates weddings and has even told the other wife he hates them. For her it may be her special day but he has made it clear to her that it is something that he is putting up with and he wants to make it as short as possible. When they had the marriage contract signing party he actually walked out in the middle of the whole event and went to sit with her brother in a cafe rather than socialize with her and the rest of the family. Can you imagine?

He told me yesterday he just is getting more and more tired every day from the preparations. He's been wrapped up in it all, yes, but it is wearing him down, not energizing him. It's robbed him of himself to some extent. He is totally out of touch with everything except the preparations.
