How do you calm your nerves???

wine... lots of it

ha ha ladies! usually that is my remedy as well but after our RD I may never drink wine again!!!

Honestly, sleep helped me big time!!! Also, on the wednesday before the wedding I went to the spa and hung out in the steam room for awhile. That relaxed me!

I was a ball of nerves then the day of the wedding, 'poof' it just disappeared! I promise you, it will end up happening that way!!!

A lot of praying and deep breaths. Champagne helped a lot also.

i went through the same thing. I had knots in my stomach, i was nervous about things going well, i was crying histerically non-stop the whole week before and for no real reason either lol. Two days before the wedding i cried for over an hour straight and had no idea why hahahaha. Dh would laugh at me saying i cant even hold a conversation bc i was lost, he would talk to me about something and its like i was in another world. I was exhausted from the stress and just out of it. THEN the morning of i woke up and this calm just took over me. I was so relaxed, nothing bothered me, i didnt care to deal with anything. I felt i did more than enough at this point and seriously just enjoyed my whole day. After crying all week, i have to say that the day of i was just smiling from ear to ear all day

Yeah like I know what I am feeling is completely normal and all but it's like I wish I could just through the day or the next few days without feeling like this basket case! I remember you saying you would just cry, I thought that would be me too but so far no flood works just a more anxious feeling, I guess more so that it's an all eyes on you kind of day and I hate that!

i am a person who HATES being stared at haha but i tried not thinking about this part before the wedding. I get very weird when ppl look at me for a long period of time, and even a few mins is long to me. Its funny bc in person i shorten all my stories, unlike on liw bc if a person is staring at me too long while i tell a story i dont like it so i just rush through it and get to the end as fast as i can hahaha. With real good friends im ok with this but others i get very weird. The one thing that helped is that it wouldn't just be me up there alone they look at but dh and i. I know more of the attention is on the bride but helped for me to think that we would share in the attention. If i had to be up there alone it'd be a different story hahaha.

I even say things to ppl on the street and on trains if they stare at me. I hate it so much that if someone just stares at me i yell at them and say 'W** are you looking at' its a weird natural reaction i get ive tried to control though and have gotten better at not yelling at everybody

I stayed mental. I figured, why fight it?

Just sleep. Take sleeping pills, drink 4 glasses of wine, do whatever it takes. Just make sure you get a good 8 hours of sleep per night before the big day.
