Am I getting nervous? why do I keep acting like this?

Long rant.

- Everytime my mom wants to talk to me about the wedding I jus get so frustrated and angry that I don't even wanna talk about it. Then she goes into the whole 'Are you sure you wanna do this? why aren't you happy?'

could it be I'm just REALLY stressed?

I know there are a few things left to do. And little things. But as the time gets closer and closer, I'm getting more and more nervous.

The church scares me the most because the two of us hate being on the spot, and I feel there is going to be alot of people at the church.

I really don't wanna be crying the whole time (happy tears of course!!) but I have a feeling I won't be able to control myself (I made a speech at my shower and you probably couldn't even understand me bc I was so overwhelmed lol)

I think its a mixture of excitement, anxiety, and I just wanna get this freakin wedding over with already and live happily ever after!!!

Anyone else ever feel this way?? I just feel bad for my mom bc I'm always giving her an attitude about it.

I thought I'd be a stressy mess, but I was oddly the calmest person the day of. My mom, sister, and dad were stressballs

Just take a breathe and soak it all in. It is going to be an amazing day

I know exactly how you feel about the church....I am dreading it! it's weird, but I don't mind being the center of attention for any other part of the day, but I have been awake at night thinking of this. The church freaks me out...I feel like I will have a lot of people too...plus I am an anxiety-prone person as it is and having a panic attack on my wedding day isn't out of the question. In front of a church full of people. With no where to run.

I have never taken one before but I am gonna see how xanax works for me before the big day because I might need one! People tell me it's just nerves and no big deal but they have no idea

So don't worry....I feel your pain....it'll all be over soon! Just try and enjoy the day after the church because I'm sure it goes by in a flash!

OMG! I'm a BIG stress case right now...between the wedding, my job, and MAYBE starting school in a couple of weeks I just can't handle things right now. I am also dreading the walk down the aisle...my face gets BRIGHT red and I get shakey...so embarrassing. I'm going to the doctor this Saturday and hoping he will be able to give me some xanax. I've never taken it before and my sister said I could just have one of hers but I feel like I need to see how it works on me....

interesting that you posted this because i was going to post something similar.

I guess i didnt realize it till i was called out on it but these last three days ive been so moody and snappy. vey much unlike my usual self.

its the stress.

you have a lot going on and it feels verry overwhelming, your brain feels overloaded, your chest hurts...its anxiety.

what i can say is keep your eye on the prize! eveything will be awesome. When people are driving u insane or you cant finish a task...don't fight against the stress and continue...take a break. tell people to please giveyou some space for a lil bit and try to gather your thoughts. Trust me, it works. you can't take on a million things (altho we think we can) one step at a time and things will be awesome! you will make a lovely bride!

I was actually very calm about it all. People kept asking me, 'Are you nervous?' I kept telling them all no. There was no need for me to be nervous because I knew I wanted to marry my DH. DH was concerned with people staring at us for church but it turned out we didn't have a huge crowd at church. Also, when the church was over and done, DH tells me 'That wasn't so bad!'

I was fighting with my mom constantly when it came closer to the wedding but it was all little things. You could be nervous because you are stressed with worrying about things all going to plan. I learned there is nothing you can do to prevent things from going wrong. For example, when we were at our RH I stained my dress in multiple places from the dirt in the grass! Obviously I couldn't do anything about it. I just took a deep breath and smiled while taking pictures. Our matrie'd did get some of it out during the night but oh well!

Maybe you could go get a massage to help make you less nervous/stressed.

***Forgot to mention: I did cry once. When the church doors opened and my father and I walked down the aisle towards my DH! **
