Nathyrra Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum, and I believe I need some reassurance from people that are married already. I apoligise in advance if this subject has been touched before, I believe I just need someone to tell me everything is gonna be fine! It is a week until my wedding, and I am very happy with my partner. We have been together for 3 years now. I am not having cold feet, or second thoughts because I know I want this 100%. However, I am absolutely petrified, I feel like I have a stone in my stomach, and an anvil on my chest constantly. I hear of brides being excited on their wedding day, but is this normal also? I find it hard to sleep and eat and I can't think why. We had a lot of financial problems in the remaining months leading up to wedding, however that's all sorted now. So I can't understand for the life of me why I feel so stressed still! I know a good part of the apprehension is excitment, but I can't understand why I'm so tense and nervous >.< I am sorry if I sound stupid.. I just want to know how other brides feel on their wedding day, and the days leading up to it. It's strange because the thought of being married doesn't scare me at all, but this whole ceremony thing is turning me into a wreck! The reason why I am posting this here is that I am not close to my family, and I moved to Germany from England a year ago, and none of my friends are married yet! and my fiance's family don't speak English so I can't have a heart to heart with them about it! so I'm feeling a little isolated with the whole 'bride experience' and overwhelmed. Thankyou in advance. Link to post Share on other sites

catrocks Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Awwwwwwww I'm sorry I only just came on here for the first time after my wedding but I hope you come back and read this. I just got married last weekend, also from England but have moved to America to be with my husband. Like you, I was never afraid of the being married part but the whole wedding thing really stressed me out. I had to organise all these people who came over from Europe for me and I worried constantly about that. I was looking forward to the ceremony itself but I was so freaked out that the reception would go wrong. I think feeling like this is normal. But let me tell you, walking into that church, saying our vows and seeing his face when I walked it made it all worth it. I wasn't even aware of all the people looking at me, and I wasn't nervous. I was just so happy. After all that planning (immigration stuff too) and all the worrying, it was the best day of my life and I had an amazing time. You will be fine, please don't worry and have a fabulous wedding day, and CONGRATULATIONS!!! Link to post Share on other sites
woodsfield Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 i was a nervous wreck...it's a BIG step. we took alot of pictures before our wedding and most of them look like a was going to puke. however, once i was in front of everyone, it just felt soooo right.....all my close friends and fam; her friends and fam...joyous occasion!!! happy day! you'll be fine. i think it's normal and the extent of it depends the type of person you are. i'm a male so maybe it is different for females.

suzy61 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 My aunt cried the whole way up the aisle....another aunt cried in the bathroom for 2 hours during her reception from the sheer shock of it all.....they are both happily married for years now!!!......I think its' pretty common.it's a massive thing, and of course you're going to be terrified. Don't worry too much and have a great wedding day. Link to post Share on other sites
