Oh goodness...I am getting married in 23 days and Im FREAKING out. Not about marrying him, not at all...but about the attention and the coordination. I just watched a wedding story and she was talking to him saying 'in only 3 days...' and I felt like vomiting. Nobody ever seems to be concerned about anything on these boards and I feel a little alone here I just dont like 150 people looking at me.

i am the same way! I do not want people staring at me at all, but it is impossible. I DO NOT like being the center of attention, but even for one second, but I am going to try to overcome it.

Re: Is it just me?
I felt that way about our engagement party!
We had 75 ppl at the engagement party ... there will be 200+ at the wedding!
I can't imagine how I'm gonna feel when I'm as close to my wedding date as you are!
You are DEFINITELY not alone with this one ...

Re: Is it just me?
Both FH and I have to do public speaking, so we're fine with the attention thing....
I'm also not a bit worried about the reception... since the hall is responsible for everything, not me.
My headaches come in with the fact that 1/3 of my guests are OOT'ers, and will be going to our apartment for a rehearsal dinner and a party after the reception.... our apartment is NYC-sized... no room for all of this we're already picking out 'unnecessary furniture' to move to storage.
Also, on sunday, mom is having a large garden party. she gets very nervous playing hostess, and doesn't like to cook. Normally, I pick-up the slack, but obviously can't since we'll be busy every single moment from thurs until we leave for our HM on tues. FMIL and a friend are cooking for these events, but we still have to do a lot!
we don't even know who will show up to each of these events

Re: Is it just me?
You are definitely not alone. I have a real difficult time speaking in front of groups of people. Doing oral presentations was always a horrible experience for me in college. I would get so nervous that I would feel sick even a few days before. I'm trying not to think about how many people will be starring at me and having to speak in front of them. I am trying to just focus on the fact that I will be marrying my best friend. I just hope my nerves don't take over and my voice starts shaking and I feel queasy like I usually do when I get nervous. One of my friends that got married back in October recommended doing two shots right before going down the aisle. She swears it helped her calm down and relax. I'm not too sure if that would help or make it worse.

I'm over 200 days away and I still get those feelings when I watch A Wedding Story or even think about it! I think it's perfectly normal. Just try to enjoy this time.
ETA: Today's A Wedding Story is one of my all time favorites- I have always been obsessed with that show and now I have it DVRed every day!! I'm a dork, I know!
