Wedding nerves/confusion?

CB

Havent had time to read all your replies but the ones I did looked great.

From my point of view as an OM I know exactly how you feel, I was rubbish at weddin gplanning (so you are alreaddy a step ahead of me) I only ever did half a mood board didn't have a theme, only just had a colour scheme (sort of) and I never ever look good in photos generally I don't even look human so wedding photos and looking glamrous is a truly long shot for me. (If you need proof I will link you my entire wedding album completely with grumpy face, funny face, round shoulder and manic stare bridal looks and inspite of this I still have some nice photos).

However now the day has been and gone I loved getting married and thats the bit you will remember, if you have a good time everything else will be fine.

Here is my bridal check list

1) Ensure you have bridesmaids with you who make you laugh when getting readdy. I laughed all morning

2) If you are having hair/ make up done get people you feel relaxed around.

3) Knicker dress check V important

5) Lipstick teeth check important

6) May only apply to me, Stop reading wedding magazines, Once i ditched the magazines alot of my wedding stress/ feeling like an inadequate bride dissapeared.

PS Spangles I loved that game I was queen of chocolate consumption

I'm just going to get myself a sign that reads "WSS" today as that's been myonly reply to all threads today. Fecking useless I tells ya. Anyway, here's my reply to your thread:

WSS!!

PS - drifter, where's number 4??

PPS - you couldn't have slapped the smile off my face, I grinned like an idiot all day long!

What Rae added

ahh missing out 4 was a diliberate mistake to see if you were paying attention. ALso eat breakfast I ate 2 it helpped loads and champagne

It's catching! ?

WYAS!

Thanks, ladies ?

You meanie! Seriously, I meant every word of my wobbles! I'm just not used to feeling out of control in a situation, it's weird!

CB, if it helps I can completely identify with how you're feeling. We've only got 19 days to go and I don't feel like we'll ever be ready. I haven't lost the three stones I was supposed to for a start off, and my to do list is still two pages long ?

BUT - I keep telling myself now that as long as the big stuff is done, nothing else matters. Like no one will know that we were planning to have tealights everywhere if we don't get them finished. It won't make any difference to the day, really.

From what I've read of your posts you sound like you're going to be a great host and that's what matters and what people will remember.

Thanks, ladies, that's kind of you.

Perhaps I should get Claire to come and run my wedding for me!

No, you didn't offend me! It was my first wobble but I feel much better for it now, especially knowing I'm not the only one! If my timing is anything to go by, you can have yours in about 3 and a half months!

Just let me know when you need my address to send the invite to Cricks. I am an ace present wrapper-er and I will also do a dance routine at your wedding. Fact.

P.S. My dance troupe will also be joining me but you can just give them the cheap seats. I, however will require a seat up front next to la famille.

?

I'll send my carrier pigeon, Barry to come and collect mine.

?I haven't thought about this game in years!!! - awesome!

CB I'm sure your day will be fantastic, your plans are truely gorgeous!

I've also been plagued with dreams, I keep dreaming that I haven't organised anything and I have no makeup lady or hair lady my dress isn't the right size and I'm so late, once I even missed the ceremony completely!

I'm not an organised person I always leave everything til the last minute which I have refused to do with my wedding I thought it would make me feel better to be so organised but I think it's just stressing me out more... me and OH have agreed that we're going to have a wedding free December! hopefully this should help me relax and i'll get back on it in January probably after consuming a vat or two of port ?
