I think it's normal, I felt that way at least. Well not the same fear but just that something would happen to make it not work out - I didn't have anything concrete in my head I just was thinking somethings going to happen or fall through or something. But it worked out and what didn't work out didn't but it was still a terrific day.
I had nightmares the week leading up to the wedding - we showed up at the reception hall and it wasn't decorated, the dj was awful and my father decided to do some rousing country karaoke, someone stepped on my dress and ripped it off my body, etc. etc....I'm sure everyone has these types of thoughts/nightmares though...
Okay, good to know! I'm usually a very level headed, "don't complain about stuff - just fix it" person, and here lately, I just worry, worry, worry.
Pretty funny about the rousing country karaoke, tho! :D
Haha, Laylabelle, yes! I'm still ten and a half months out and I sometimes come up with crazy, irrational, paranoid scenarios. My latest one is that I will develop food poisoning or the stomach flu the night before the wedding and will be walking up the aisle afraid of explosive vomiting.
Yes! I thought one of parents or grandfather would end up in the hospital. I though a lot of people that rsvp'd yes would change their mind at the last minute. I thought there might be a natural disaster that would prevent the wedding from happening. And the most ridiculous of all-I was afraid my husband would leave me at the alter. Of course, none of that happened, but I couldn't keep my mind from thinking those things!
Lol! I'm sooooo glad I'm not alone!
Let's see, I've also had the fear of the stomach and regular/swine flu scenario, the fear of the place flooding (we had nasty floods here a few months ago), the fear of a freak snow storm (um, it doesn't snow in Atlanta, haha!), that everyone will forget or just decide not to come, that I'll put my dress on and it won't fit at all (I just tried it on a week ago), and that I'll break out in the worst case of bacne you've ever seen in your life (I don't have bacne).
I mean, dang!
I'm definitely already having doomsday scenarios and I've got nine months to go (which maybe is not a good sign). Last night I dreamt that, for some reason, the first part of the ceremony didn't involve me, so I was sitting at the back listening in on it with my dad, dressed in an awful pink dress I had to wear for an 8th grade dance, and then realized that I was going to have to walk down the aisle in a few minutes and I had no idea where my actual dress was, and all of my bridesmaids and moms were already up front, so I grabbed a random guest and we started looking all over the church for my dress, never to find it because my sister had cleverly hidden it so that my fiance wouldn't see it, and hadn't told me where it was either.
Layla!!! Your wedding is going to be AWESOME and you're going to look amazing in your dress. Bacne? silly girl... :)
Seriously, it's just stress ~ not that that makes it any easier. Have a cup of mint hot cocoa with whipped creme, soak your feet in lavendar water, relax and try not to think about the wedding for a few hours. Maybe it'll help clear your mind and some of the last minute stress bunnies.
LMAO Layla!! Breeeeeeathe. 
I'm definitely not looking forward to this freaking out thing, as it doesn't take much at all to freak me out on a regular day. I can only imagine the days leading up to the wedding!
Lol, thanks guys. I'm trying to relax, I promise!!! Okay, not really. But I WANT to, does that count? :)
LOL - I think you'll be fine! I am 13 months out, and I have been having periodic nightmares. Things like....my dress isn't the one I ordered, and about 5 sizes too big, I didn't make hair/makeup appointments and was casually calling people for appointments the day of, we were sharing reception space with someone else, etc.
Crazy stuff!
Hee, I've had some doomsday scenarios popping into my head sometimes, and I'm about three months away from the big date.
There's one in particular... The hotel where we're having the reception is very close to the coast, almost right on the beach I'd say. The road to get to the hotel has signs that say "Tsunami emergency route" or something like that -- basically, that if there's a tsunami, people need to get the hell outta there because it's low-lying ground and that's the road that needs to be taken to head to higher ground. So, of course, every now and then the thought pops into my head that there will be an earthquake followed by a tsunami on the day of my wedding... Yeah... bit scary, that... o_O so I try not to think about it too much :-P

Okay, I'm 5 days out and suddenly, I'm convinced that no one will show up for the wedding. That of the 90 confirmed guests, 10 will show up and I'll leave in tears. Or that everyone will be wiped out by the flu. Or that someone will have a car wreck the day of.
Anxiety, much?
Did any newlyweds have these fears as the day got closer? Am I normal or have I gone off the deep end here?
