Holy f&%&^*&$#*&$#UY$O#*&$#@&!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, just had a minor panic attack.
The question I have heard a lot lately, is "aren't you excited!?" or "I bet you are excited!!"
Uh, sure I'm excited. I am excited to be married. I am not quite that excited for this wedding. It's probably because I am so stressed out about it. The only thing I can equate it to is that last hour right before a huge final and you know you haven't covered all the material. That's how I feel right about now.
Also, being the center of attention and having everyone stare at me is my own personal hell. I hate it. So really, a wedding is like hell but in a really pretty dress.
I have already warned B and my dad that I might be a little tipsy when I walk down the aisle.
They laugh when I tell them that...because they think I am kidding.
I'm not kidding.
My bridesmaids have legitimately strategized this. For instance, do I casually sip champagne throughout the afternoon. Or do I take a shot right before I head down the aisle. I don't think we have settled on which is best. It'll be a game time decision.
In all seriousness, I know the wedding will be beautiful and they will be memories to last a life time. Everything will work out fine, and if it doesn't, who cares? Right?
haha I can relate...that last month is hard. For me I was just ready to get to the honeymoon by that point.
ReplyDeleteI'd go for the champagne throughout the day, but then again I love champagne! I remember just being SO STRESSED a month before the wedding. There was so much to do! Delegate, Delegate, Delegate. Oh, and as for that honeymoon thing. The only thing I wanted to do after my wedding was sleeeeeeep!
ReplyDeleteOh the last month. By that time I was more than ready to be done planning and most of the little details came down to the "do we really care" moments. I hard time getting excited before the wedding because I was stressed also but on that I swear you will be excited, even being the center of attention. Feel ya on that point because I hate it too but I don't feel like I really even noticed since the day goes so stinkin' quick! I almost think I was a little more annoyed at the end of it after doing all that planning and then it was just a blur in 24 hours. My word of advice and I know it's much easier said than done but really don't stress...decisions will get made and at the end of the that day you guys will be married and that's all that matters!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a panic attack too. OMGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete7 years ago last Saturday and I remember it like yesterday. I was so nervous.....then I walked in with my Father, saw Will and wondered what I was worried about. Easier said than done though! I'm sure you'll be fine. x

Haha deep breaths, it will also be over soon :) On my wedding day I broke down crying during my hair appointment and then told my then fiance that I could not talk to him when he called. It's like I just needed to get it out of my system and then I was fine. No matter what, your day will turn out just fine :)
ReplyDeleteIt will all be perfect! So many things went wrong the day of my wedding, but it was still the most perfect day! If things do go wrong, you'll be the only one to know :)

Oh yea, I remember that last month was full of excitement and stress! I just had to keep telling myself, whatever happens happens and I am enjoying my day! What worked for me was a glass of champagne while getting ready that morning. It just helped calm my jitters. I don't even know you and I am getting so excited for your wedding day!
ReplyDeleteThe last month is definitely the hardest, but it will be over soon! I remember people asking me if I was excited, and my response was either "yeah, excited for it to be over" or "excited about going to Paris." People probably thought I hated my husband. haha I was terrified about everyone paying attention to me, but on the actual day of my wedding I was completely calm. Like, weirdly calm. This month and that day will fly by! You'll do fine!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help but laugh because this is EXACTLY how I felt leading up to my wedding. BUT, I have to say, on that day when you put on your wedding dress and have your hair and makeup done and know that you are marrying the love of your life, you are going to feel like a million bucks! It is probably the only day in my life to date that I have ever felt so confident. Just stare at B as you're walking down the aisle, you won't even notice everyone else - it'll be just the two of you. Like others have said, everything falls into place, and if they don't, no one notices. Really. Days leading up to the big day will be stressful for sure, but the day itself is totally different. It will be great.
ReplyDeleteBREATHE!! I am sure everything will be simply wonderful and if something happens to go wrong, the only one that will ever even know is you.
ReplyDeleteAs for the tipsy part, I say bottoms up! If anything it will help you relax a little. :)
Ha! My mom and I had flask garters in case we needed a little "swig". ;) Seriously though, your wedding will be over SO quickly that you'll end the night asking "What in the world just happened?!". The last stretch is the hardest and feels like the longest...but the day OF the wedding may be the fastest thing you'll ever experience! Just keep sipping mimosas while you finish planning... :)

I'm getting anxiety just thinking about your anxiety!!! But really, it will be perfect. I don't like being the center of attention, either, but my wedding day was different and I really loved every second. Good luck with all the last minute things!

ReplyDeleteWhoo Hoo! It will be here before you know it!
ReplyDeleteI feel you, girl. 2.5 weeks left for me!! My nerves are shot.
ReplyDeletehaha I felt the same way...I promise it will go by so quickly, if something goes wrong you won't know it, and it will be so much FUN! I would do it all over again if I didn't have to plan it again!
ReplyDeleteI always hated that question: "Are you excited?" Aren't most people happy to be getting married? Most people wouldn't propose or accept a proposal if they weren't.
ReplyDeleteI had panic attacks too a month before. My Bridesmaids had me sip on a glass of white wine a few hours before the ceremony and that helped calm me down.
ReplyDeleteThe last month is definitely tough! But you're right - it does absolutely work out fine! The other question I hated in the last month: "Are you ready?" For the marriage, yes. For the wedding, NO! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will be amazing. I know it was for me!
