Anyone freaking out about walking down the aisle?

I knew this would happen...2 weeks till the wedding and all I can think about it the whole walking down the aisle part and how nervous I will be. I dont like the feeling of all eyes on me and having to stand up there for so long. I pushed these feelings aside for 6 months and now I am a mess!

Ok so all I can think about it that I might faint or be so nevous that I wont walk or something. Or I will be too nervous to say my vows (we wrote our own). I hate public speaking and being in front of others and I know its my wedding but it totally freaks me out. I dont know what to do to stop this panic attack from happening (yes...I have had a past with panic attack disorder...not fun).

Does anyone else feel this way? I dont know what to do but I am freaking and this is all I think about now and cant fall asleep at night because I envision myself walking down the aisle and I all see is black and the walls close in, etc, etc! My family thinks I am nuts but I am so worked up over it.

I'm worried about looking heavy in my dress. I also keep imagining turning bright red and sweating profusely.
I think I will concentrate on him and the look on his face and forget all the rest.

The only thing I am nervous about (and who wouldn't be) is the crying. I wish there was a pill I could take to stop myself from crying. I think I may seriously be allergic to it because when I do, no matter how hard or for how long, My whole face swells up and I become too exhausted to even stay awake. Take SATC the movie......I cried on and off during the movie and when I left the theatre, I was wiped out! I also cannot speak when I cry. So I'm worried I may be too hysterical to say my vows!

Awwww ladies....I am so glad I am not the only one so worked up over this!!! I have spoke to FH and my family about it...and btw they think I am crazy. But it felt good to talk about it and get it off my chest...now I am alittle more at ease but will still be so nervous! I have a short aisle to walk down...thank god!
