I'm sitting at my desk, having a mini panick attack, yet I don't really feel nervous if that makes sense,,

Then as far as the church...My heart will be jumping out of my chest...How did everyone control it?? ( no drugs )

oddly enough... I was so calm and not nervous at all.

I was worse at my bridal shower. The morning of the wedding getting dressed I was kinda quiet b/c I was afraid I was going to feel like the shower (felt like I was gonna puke for hours.. no fun)

but it never came. I had the best day of my life and was cool as a cucumber.

I think it was because I knew that if something went wrong it was out of my hands, and that I planned everything the way I wanted... and we had been engaged for 22 months so I knew he was the one.

Sorry if this doesn't help... just don't stress out thinking you will be nervous... because you might not be!

We went away to the Jersey shore a few days before the wedding with his family to relax. It was fun and just what I needed. Then 2 days before we were running around doiong errands so I was busy. The day before I was the most nervous and I couldnt sleep that well. Soo keep busy and also fit it some relaxation

But the day of, I was the most calm Ive ever been in my life....soooo hopefully the same will happen to you. Nothing really bothered me or worried me the day of!

the week leading up to the wedding was so hectic that I did'nt have time for nerves. I flipped once the night b4 but that was something DH did. The day of I was so nervous that I had to force myself to eat half a bagel twist. I had a couple of drinks and that didnt help. Believe it or not the minute I got into my dress I felt so much better and hardly nervous...at that point I was so excited!
