Too many people call that "butterflies in the stomach" thing love. It is infatuation, which is a form of anxiety. It would be unnatural for that to continue at a fevered pitch for more than a few months.

Love actually starts when your relationship becomes a "secular devotion". You devote your energy and time to your partner in a way that you deny to others. It is the life you build together, the ease with which you support each other emotionally, and finding your partner someone you want in your life.

Don't panic. You are about to have a real marriage!
