Just curious.
The only thing I'm not really looking forward to is having my internal organs relocated from wearing that corset all night.
I'll just keep reminding myself of how skinny I look :)
ugh- Honeybun- I totally know what you mean. Like I don't mind talking in front of people at meetings and such but being the center attention is not my cup of tea.
I was SO not looking forward to the rehearsal. My Mom and brother don't speak and that was the first time they saw each other in almost 2 years. I was really worried about how it would go but they just avoided each other.
I'm actually not looking forward to waking up that morning. Hopefully everything can be scheduled so I can wake up on my own terms. I sometimes get an upset stomach if I have to wake up too early and not follow my routine, so I'm a little nervous about that.
To be honest, I am not looking forward to spending all that cash! Granted, it will be what we want, and will be awesome, but I will be sad when I check my savings account balance the day after! :)
I am not looking forward to day of stress. I cant afford a day of coordinator... i pray everything comes together.
@Miss Sapphire: exactly. Me too. It's inevitable...
And then there are the dramatic friends. oy. As the "peacemaker" it might be a bit of a stressful day.
Honestly the fact that no one from my family will be there at all. My parents are estranged, and otherwise I'm an only child with no aunts, uncles, or cousins. Also, my grandparents are all deceased.
It's actually made the whole planning process rather sad.
Drama about children attending (we have 8 nieces and nephews), children throwing fits during vows, children escaping the 'kids room' we're going to set up during the reception, sticky fingers all over my dress b/c parents don't watch their kids while at weddings.. Sorry, that was a vent! I feel better.
Mine is kinda along the lines of @Miss Sapphire...
having certain family/people at my wedding.
We already are having a small guest list since it's a DW, However, we are still inviting my grandparents and some cousins which I would rather skip for a few reasons:
1)My cousins and aunts/uncles are notorious for RSVPing Yes and never coming (they just did this to my brothers wedding)...this would burn my bridges since we can only invite 50 ppl! and if they said they were coming and didn't...
2)Grandma is VERY judgemental and has invited herself to stay at the house we are renting and for most of the wedding week. Both FH and my families are drinkers, although we are not, and Grandma will have a lot of drunken action to take in all week.
@miss sapphire: I totally turn red and voice cracks when I have to speak at meetings. This is going to be a million times worse. Why am I even doing this to myself???? LOL!!!
I am scared to walk down the aisle. I just know that I am going to have ugly cry face!
I'm not looking forward to being the center of attention either. Ugh, just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach. This is why I wanted a small destination wedding!!! It's too bad my FI didn't want one!
Have any of you all who don't like being the center of attention either, thought about what it will be like to have someone following you around and taking pictures and/or video of you ALL day?????
It freaks me out. I don't know how I'm going to be able to act normal!
@honeybun - I briefly thought about that and I agree it's going to be kind of weird. I'm really hoping I feel comfortable with my photographer. My biggest concern is more just the amount of people there staring at me during the ceremony, etc. I just hate the thought of it!
@tulip: Same here. I'm SO scared that as soon as everyone stands up and turns to watch me when I start down the aisle (made my heart jump just typing that) my face will turn red. If I have red faced pics...............oh dear God please just don't let that happen!!! LOL
The dances! I'm fine with dancing when everyone else is on the floor and I've had a few drinks but when all eyes are on me and I haven't had more than a glass or two of champagne? Scary!
I'm not looking forward to being center of attention either. The thought of walking down the aisle and having everyone stare at me is terrifying!
I'm afraid that my dress won't fit me (sure they could alter it, but the thought gives me anxiety)
I'm also not looking forward to the entire day as a whole. I mean, yes I am b/c I get to marry my best friend (woohoo) but unless I take a deep breath that day and not be uptight about everything I'll be worried the entire time wondering if people are having fun, if they like their food, etc. I'm so anal retentive and detail oriented as it is, this whole process just magnifies it haha.
What we have to keep in mind though is that everything IS going to work out in the end, everything always does. And we might even feel more comfortable in our own skin than we think. We'll be all done up with beautiful dresses, hair and makeup and we'll probably be really excited to show ourselves off. :)
Inviting a couple of my cousins. I'm doing it to save face for the family, but I not-so-secretly hope they decline the invite.
I wasn't looking forward to the father/daughter dance. Not because I don't love my dad, but because I knew I would be bawling. And, bawl I did. But I survived! ... only to bawl some more at the mother/groom dance... and then a huge wave of relief washed over me when the "emotional" parts of the wedding were done!
@ Miss Sapphire: that was my main concern, esp since my FIL called my parents to ask them point blank "why aren't your paying for the wedding!!" My parents were shocked & offended, considering they have only met my FIL once & they have contributed what they could financially to our wedding, but FIL took it among himself to literally say " I'm not sure if your aware, but the brides family pays for the wedding"
So needless to say i was expecting a little drama, but my parents shrugged it off and treated my in-laws as if nothing happened.
My FSIL taking all the attention being prego... like always...
i'm not really looking forward to having to walk from table to table and make chit-chat with each guest! my fi is not that conversational so it will be all me making conversation as usual! i'm thinking of doing the recieving line as we dismiss guests from the ceremony (short and sweet) and then just trying to catch up with as many guests as possible later. i just want to have a good time and not worry about everyone else wanting my attention!
@ gamblina - I am totally with you!
My FH is not very social either, and I know he will be pretty uptight at the reception so we are going to do a receiving line as well and then try to go around and chat with everyone a little bit. But definately the receiving line so no one gets left out!
i'm pretty sure im going to trip and fall down the aisle, or fall over during my vows. not looking forward to that
LOL @ ashleyjane, I had the same fear! Thankfully that didn't happen! Remember your dad (or whoever) will be walking down the aisle with you, then your new husband, so they will be there in case you lose your balance :-)
@hellohellohello - YES! I am in the same boat so we are just going to pass on my dance... so passive agressive of me!
I agree with a lot of you on the center of attention thing. That is making me nervous. But I am excited for our first dance because we love dancing together.
My Mister is also the best person to calm me down so I am not looking forward to the morning of without him.
I also have a judgemental family and that is making me worried on every detail from my dress to our food to the amount of help I will need with prep (even though they offered).
Basically, I am going to be nervous all day 
Before we got married, I dreaded all the fomal dances. Even our first dance. I didn't want to do any of them, but I knew it was important to my husband, and to our families, So I caved. But I dreaded them until they were over.
Dealing with the temptation of making everyone else happy, not living "in the moment," and the financial probability that I'll have to order and arrange my own flower centerpieces. Ugh.
By the way, a bunch of people were taken aback that I wasn't doing a unity candle (I didn't even know this was such a common thing!) but I was like, ok, with all the things I already have to worry about, you also want me to have to worry about lighting myself on fire??? NO WAY!
i have to be very proactive to have everything done and out of mind so that i can enjoy the day - sometimes I can work myself up. I also am not crazy about everybody watching me walk - i feel like i'll walk unnaturally or fall down or something. We are marrying near a cliff edge so i have to be quick on my toes haha. No fainting or dizzy spells allowed haha!
Being the center of attention but I'm sure that won't long last because FMIL will do something like she always manages to do to make everything about her. Double edged sword.
My vows...I keep thinking that I am going to forget to carry the card that will have my personal vows on it and will have to ad-lib at the last minute....oh Lord
being too stressed and being the center of attention.
oh and having the photog follow me around. weird.
Not having my best friend there in person. I know she'll be there in spirit, but it's not the same.
I've got a different twist on the most common problem in this thread. Personally, I eat up being the center of attention, it makes me excited thinking about it! - but - FI hates it, gets nervous, can't be comfortable, doesn't act like himself. Even if there were no people around, the photographer alone would be enough to make him stiffen up. I just want him to be my awesome, funny companion and enjoy the day with me! A few drinks usually helps him out, so hopefully that will work and he won't go overboard. I may have to set the best man on drink-monitoring duty!
I was NOT looking forward to mailing out invitations. It way stressed me out and I was afraid they'd never get done! But friends , BM, MOH and fiance all were a huge help and we got them out the door in time. Other than that I feel good about preparing for the wedding.
I am not looking forward to working my butt off to meet my work deadlines before our wedding and honeymoon. The mountain of work I have between now and then is depressing.
I also really worry too many people will RSVP yes... and they won't fit in the venue. :-( Is it bad to hope x number of people can't come? And what if tons of people don't RSVP and we have no idea!? It would be karma for the weddings I didn't RSVP for. eeps.
