on the day nerves - OMs advice

You sound like me, except I get the added delight of my face going tomato red too!

I was a bit nervous about this but on the day there were no nerves, I stood at the end of the aisle and walking towards my H and its sounds cliched but I barely even registered there were other people on the room. It will honestly be fine!

It's honestly not as bad as you're thinking.

H and I did giggle throughout the whole thing - we and our guests loved it.

You'll be fine on the day. I had a bit of a moment just before we went into the ceremony room, but as soon as I saw H, everything felt good and I could not wait to get up there and say my vows!!

I'm worried too. I'm such an outgoing / confident / out-spoken person generally but have always hated 'presenting' etc,

I am worried that I won't be able to get the words out as whenever I think about it I turn into an emotional wreck!

A friend of mine cried all through her rehearsal and was then 'fine' at the actual service, so I'm going to try my best to get it all out in the rehearsal too, haha!

I do have to say though that when I've seen other brides struggle because of their emotions etc I've thought its quite sweet, so its really not the end of the world if you do end up a bit nervous etc.

We just have to remember to enjoy and forget about everyone else!

I agree that if you do get the giggles, no-one will think badly of you for it and if you're giggling then you'll be smiling!

I felt very nervous in the run up to the wedding and while I was talking to the registrar alone before the ceremony, they were checking volume on the music and put my entrance song on- I very nearly lost my nerve and my lunch! But as soon as it came time to walk down the aisle I didn't really notice anyone other than Chris and just had a huge grin on my face for the whole ceremony.

These things are never as bad as you worry they might be, so try not to let it get to you too much

I upset my OH the other day saying that I'm not repeating vows.

i was just planning on saying "I do" at the end.

Dunno what I'm gonna do. If I get to nervous or stressed I tend to have fits.

I forgot all about the rehersal, ours will be 2 weeks before the wedding so that'll be good to have a go before the real thing.
In the rehersal do they make you say all the vows? I got the impression it was more of a see who stands where deal

I think they make you practice, but it could be different depending on the church I guess!

I get a red blotchy rash across my chest when I am nervous or stressed, I am thinking I might need to have a higher neckline on my dress to try and hide it! I am hoping that once the ceremony is over it will die down and not be noticable in the pictures!
