Okay. It's getting closer now. Only 70 days to go...
I'm starting to think about walking down the aisle. Everyone will stand and turn to look at me...
YEEEEEEEEKS!!
Anyone feeling a sense of anxiety about this moment? Anyone concerned they will pass out, puke, get weak knees or wet themselves, and it will all be caught on video for future generations to see????

Re: Walking Down Aisle--Performance Anxiety!!!
Yes! All of the above!! I am a fainter, and have fainted on numerous embarrasing occasions. I also know that the more I think about possibly fainting, the more I get myself worked up and really do. This sounds cheesy, but the only thing that makes me feel better is fh- so I will try and focus on him. Also- I told my moh and best man that I will have a signal during the ceremony- like scratching my nose or something, and that means 'get me a chair!!!' My mother jokes that she is going to bring smelling salts!

I don't even remember the other people being in the church. I just focused on Mark. I am so not good at being in the 'spotlight', but just looking at him made all the difference. Don't worry, you will do great.
I worried about this too...but I have to say...having pictures taken before hand made me much calmer...
all I could think of was all the people smiling!!

I was super nervous to walk down the isle...but I focused on Harry and all I saw was his handsome, loving face and it was all ok!! I do not even remember seeing anyone else in the church!!
You will be fine!!

Enjoy it - I look at it as its a once in a lifetime moment, take your time, and remeber a little something about each person you see - how they've helped you to get to this point in your life - it will somewhat keep your thoughts away from yourself being nervous...

Re: Walking Down Aisle--Performance Anxiety!!!
This is why I chose to get married @ the chapel instead of the church!!! (the walk down the aisle is ALOT shorter!! ) I was MOH for my best friend & I started hyperventialting (sp?) before I had to walk down. I will just focus on my groom & best man (our son) & I think I should be fine!!
