Ive been on an emotional roller coaster with nerves. One day I'll be confident and cant wait ... the next day my stomach is so messed up because Im so nervous to say my vows in front of everyone. I hate being the center of attention and the thought of everybody standing and staring at me while I walk alone down the aisle makes me want to vomit.
Oh god - I hope champagne helps me out that day.

Re: IS THIS NORMAL
I feel the same way, although being the center of attention doesn't really bother me. what worries me is being able to afford everything, everything being done (still haven't scheduled my fittings) and everyone enjoying themselves.
like right now.. my heart is pounding and i have butterflies... but tomorrow i'll prob be fine.

Re: IS THIS NORMAL
awww. and yes its totally normal!!!! but you need to let all the nerves go and just be in the moment
i know its easier said than done, but just make sure you are YOU and not focused on the nerve-wrackign things that may make you shy. just be YOU and you wont regret it
i hope that makes sense.....
i had to really force myself to be OK in the beginning, but after a bit, i didnt care. i was in the moment and enjoying every minute. keep a smile on your face. dont think about teh details. and just be HAPPY. you are marrying your love and you are going to celebrate!!! kwim?

Re: IS THIS NORMAL
p.s. as for everyong 'standing and staring'.// just remember they are there FOR YOUUUUUUU. not to be critical of you or not out of obligation. they chose YES to come to see you and brian and to share in your joy.
remember you will be surrounded by LOVE. dont let anything (or anyone) take that feelign away from you.
try to feel comfortable, cuz everyone is there FOR you.

Re: IS THIS NORMAL
don't worry - it's very normal.
i was sooo scared about my vows (especially since NOBODY had ever heard them before and i was worried that they'd suck lol)
ultimately, the entire ceremony (and reception) felt very surreal ... i barely even realized that other people were there watching me ... i was very focused on the moment, and on DH.
I HATE being the center of attention and I was dreading everything about walking down the aisle and reading our vows but when I was actually in the moment, I swear I was just in the moment and really didn't notice anyone else but my DH. You forget about everyone - I promise!! Try not to stress about it now! I know it's easier said than done but trust me!

Re: IS THIS NORMAL
I feel the exact same way. People tell me they are surprised that I decided to have a 'big wedding' because I am afraid of being the center of attention. I am really hoping that the champagne helps me on the big day!!!
You will be fine! Just think, after the ceremony, You will be so excited, you won't even think about the nerves anymore!!!
