Two nights in a row now I've had terrible wedding nightmares! Maybe now that I'm past the 3 month mark they are creeping in. They are just silly impossible dreams, like suddenly having to get married in 2 weeks and we forgot to send invitations. Or that my sister, my MOH, was having shoes made for the event from Ontario... who has shoes made... in Canada?
I've been having nightmares since the 14 month mark, and now the psychosomatic stomach pain has started. I need to take some yoga classes, I think. : )
I had a dream a month or so ago that we had to have my shower and the wedding in the same day and we had to call everyone and tell them to come to the shower early so we could fit both in. Hello, how insane. I had another dream that we were about to walk down the aisle and I forgot to ask my dad if it would be ok if he and my stepdad gave me away. I asked him not long after! Haha. I think a lot of it is our brain going over our to-do lists!
Yep, dreamed that I get to the site the day of and haven't brought any of the DIY projects I've been working on for months. Also, that I haven't make the timelines for the bridal party and no one knows where to be and when. Guess what I worked on the next day!
Yeah, I had them at the beginning, then they went away, and they've come back recently. =( I've started to work out more to de-stress!
The other night, I woke up in the middle of the night and mumbled to my FI, "Sweetie, I just had a bad dream -- our wedding was normal..." All I remember is that we had to have gray plastic chairs. He likes to make fun of me now for that one.
I've been having wedding nightmares periodically since about the 10 month mark! Apparently my sub-conscious thinks I'm the LEAST responsible bride EVER because it's always the day of and I haven't done some major task (burn our music to CD, write my vows, change into my dress - although sometimes I'm already in my dress and inexplicably running around like crazy in it trying to finish everything else!). Drives me up the wall!
I've dreamt so many things! Once that my dad didn't have his tux on to walk me down the aisle, instead he was wearing a Florida Gators tee shirt! Another time that we were at the reception and neither the caterer nor the florist had shown up, so there were just blank tables! I don't even remember the rest of them...
On the flip side though, I did have one beautiful dream where we were getting married in the garden and flower petals were falling from the sky...
I had a dream that our reception was moved to the basement of the banquet hall because "not enough people had rsvp'd" and the hall had bigger and more important parties to cater to and that they were also going to turn off the power and water to the basement in order to accommodate the other guests. The next night I dreamt that my MOH and one of my bridesmaids decided to wear entirely different outfits to the wedding (like fluffy tulle skirts and t-shirts) and when we went outside for pictures and they asked me what me thought I said, "honestly, those aren't the dresses I picked out for you guys..." and they got very upset, called me a "bridezilla" and walked off, my other bridesmaid escaped out the backdoor and didn't even show up for pictures...yeah I'm two weeks away and FREAKING out.
I've had 2 nightmares. First my future sister in law shows up to my wedding in her wedding dress and goes berkerk. Second was that I was late to for hair and makeup and lost my shoes for the wedding :(. One month left and I hope I don't have anymore crazy wedding dreams!
I've had one where I personally have to do everyone's hair and makeup, including my own (if you knew me, you would know this would be a nightmare) and then no one was there to help me into my dress so I had to do it myself. I'm at the three-week mark and I can't even imagine what's yet to come, dream-wise. I just had a two-hour photo call with my parents (who are 5 states away at the site of the wedding) about logistics, so I'm sure there will be more nightmares tonight!
My wedding nightmares started in March. Mine are all zombie related -- my fiance loves zombie books and movies. In my dreams the guests become zombies and the wedding party has to make a run for it. Somehow we end up on my school campus locked in the gym. Ugh. I can't wait for the nightmares to end.

Anyone else care to commiserate or share?
