HUGS!! Oh my! Can you get yourself to the spa for a relaxation massage? Are you feeling overwhelmed with too much to do between now and then?
Hang in there!! And try to delegate as much as possible!!
crying because you're happy is an amazing feeling! don't worry you'll be just fine.
Don't sweat it, its normal! The entire process (and the day of) is a very emotional experience. To me it just means that you're very present, so to speak, in these moments and that's important. You'll be fine! Have a wonderful, amazing wedding day :)
@oracle: I have so much left to do! We have to get the last 4 peoples meal choices, and submit our choices for rehearsal dinner, I have my hair and makeup trial today, I have to finish and assemble 80 programs, print all of our signage, cut and frame it. I also have to steam our overlays, dust the candle lanterns, mock-up the candy buffet and buy more candy to fill it out. I have to confirm with our baker, confirm our mani's pedi's, and get everything organized to take to the venue friday to decorate. Plus we have to clean our carpets, weed and clean up the yard, clean the house for our house guests, and the morning after brunch at our home the day after the wedding.
I wish I could delegate something, but only me and FH are here, one of my BM's and a friend come in thursday night, most over people arrive friday or saturday.
@ejs4y8: I am somewhat trying to embrace the crying, but I have so much to get done I have to suck it up and keep trucking along (can't be having tear marks on the programs)
@jennifer_espos: Thank you, I was worried that I was in auto-pilot mode for a while there, planning the wedding without feeling it. I think finishing my last day of work before the wedding yesterday allowed me to be present in what is happening.
Oh, I was the same way the week of my wedding. I was so stressed out that anything set me off! And I of course cried as my dad was walking me in, but it was tears of joy and happiness that it was finally happening! And when it was all over, I cried b/c I was just glad.
I'll tell you one thing though...you won't cry on your honeymoon! Haha...
We are date twins! So i know how you feel. I keep having flashs about te day and i have this horrendus image that everything will go wrong. i think i,m dying from anxiety! Juste like you! Even if i can't believe it for myself, i'm sure everything will be wonderful at youy wedding.
Great, I have just learned that a another guest is coming, I have to change my seaitng chart... GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
Good luck to you and just think how wonderful it is going to be!
I'm with ejs - cry it out... before the wedding! I didn't, and ended up crying off and on throughout the whole wedding day! Ceremony - I was a wreck. Father-daughter dance - wreck! Toasts - wreck wreck wreck! My friends and family are still making fun of me. "You're not going to cry are you?" When we view our wedding video, I'm turning it into a drinking game - shots all around every time I cry.
I cry when I am stressed, frustrated, emotional, etc. You will be fine!!! Im sure you are just caught up in everything (or everything is catching up to you) so let it out. At least they are happy tears (I am assuming) :) and not sad tears :)
my date is 10 months away and i'm already doing the same thing. I'm also having dreams of showing up there and having forgot everything including dresses and everything and having family yell at me for not inviting other people. It will end, it's probably all just from stress i cry when i get really really stressed.
Well ... I am off to my hair trial ... I am sure to cry during it (LOL)
This is totally normal. I'm not usually a crier, either. The weeks leading up to our wedding, I was cool and calm and ready to go. During our rehearsal the day before, I started to SOB. Like, I was ridiculous. I sobbed the whole night before in our hotel room, too. My husband was scared! Haha. I kept reassuring him that it was just a result of tons of emotion that comes with weddings.
I agree with ejs ... let it out now, and eventually, you'll stop :)
I think this article says it best: (Thanks, Meg)

Weddings are: a wonderful and hard transition. Take a deep breath, sister! Eyes on the prize!
I was similar the week before the wedding. So much to do, so little time, overwelmed, happy, stressed..ahhh! It's wild. But just think-you are almost there and everything will get done in time and in just a few days you will have an amazing day!!! :)
Hey there -- I am one month away (August 13) and I had a big, crying meltdown last weekend. Started going back to therapy. It turns out that I'm microanalyzing everything about my relationship -- and I'm starting to miss my family. They don't live near me, so my head is filled with fantasies of running away to them.
I'm told that this is a natural part of being a bride-to-be in today's age. The stresses of the emotional shift as well as the wedding can exacerbate our feelings. And for someone prone to occasional depression, it's especially tough.
A few things that have helped:
1. Canceling an out of town trip on August 1 with his family, in favor of one with MY family (so I can have extra time with my dad and mom)
2. Finding a great therapist, and talking.
3. Delegating tasks and letting go: I no longer care about what the welcome bags, favors or place cards look like. Not my problem.
4. Throwing away bridal magazines.
These are just suggestions of what has been helping me. I also plan to get a massage the day before my wedding, and possibly accupuncture. My mental sanity is all I've got. Hold onto yours!

My wedding is 3 days away today, and I do not know what is wrong with me ... I cannot stop crying! Anything can set me off, my cuddly dog, a song on the radio, looking at wedding pictures. It is insane - I am not usually a crier.
I am really excited to get married, not a doubt in my mind that I love my FH and want to marry him Saturday.
Maybe I am just overwhelmed by the things left to do ... but his crying thing better tone itself down by friday.
