So, throughout the planning, the bit I've been most calm/blase/naive about is the actual ceremony itself. It's the most important bit, but I always thought I'd be calm, happy, relaxed, serene, saying my vows with just the right amount of emotion in my voice, looking lovingly at OH...you know, perfect?!
However, (bit of background) over the weekend I went to see my friend in Les Mis. Now, I don't know if it was the long day, the pride, the intensity of the show, the bl00dy heat in the theatre or what, but I was on the verge of tears through the whole thing, cumulating in a mini freak out (just in my head, thankfully) during SPOILER! Marius and Cosette's wedding. Mini freak out being:
How the hell am I going to walk down that aisle, alone, in front of 150 people, without dissolving into tears and subsequently sobbing and gulping my way through the vows? If I cry at a musical, what chance do I have at keeping it together at my own wedding?!
I'm normally quite reserved with public displays of emotion, but am now pretty worried that I'll be either frozen with nerves and won't be able to walk down, or I'll just be a snotty, snivelling mess during the whole day!
Any advice, especially from OMs would be great!
PS I missed the whole forum-wars thread since I was away. Pretty hilarious though, and I'm glad I'm on hitched with the sensible, reasonable, honest (and often hilarious) posters!
