    So, it wasn't my first wedding anxiety dream, but last night's was a doozy! I showed up at my venue in a torrential downpour (it was mid-afternoon but dark as night and absolutely pouring). I started getting ready, but my mom and maids were all missing and I didn't recognize anyone there and people kept making catty remarks.

    I opened my garment bag to take out my gown and in it was a horrible polyester dress that was as rumpled as if I'd slept in it for days. I couldn't find an iron so I started trying to get the wrinkles out with steam from the shower. Someone said that I must've gotten a good deal because they'd seen the same dress on sale at Lerner's for $56.

    My makeup artist showed up and started smearing goopy sparkle gel on my face. I told her it was nothing like the makeup trials, and she said she had to do it this way for it to look OK in photos. I noticed that I had a huge zit on my cheek and asked if she could cover it. She said not to worry -- she would draw a big mole there so no one would notice. I was arguing with her about the mole when I noticed that the florist had delivered big fruit baskets instead of the flowers I'd ordered.

    Then I realized that the wedding was supposed to start 40 minutes ago and everyone was getting restless. Our DJ started playing songs to distract the crowd, but I forgot to give him any ideas about what to play and he was picking really cheesy music and people were booing him and starting to leave. I realized that I hadn't put the wedding favors on the tables, and I brought out a bag from the closet but it contained only broken kid's toys, legos and blocks. 

    I think I woke up after this, thank goodness. What the heck?! My wedding is over 4 months away and my night time imagination is already in overdrive. I'd better pace myself with these stupid dreams! On the bright side: whatever happens that day will feel great to me after this!

    LOL! Wedding dreams! Oh I have them ALL the time! I have less then 2 months to go until mine and I swear I cant have ONE single good wedding dream! In every single one I forgot to do something big and something is going wrong and I'm the only one who seems to be logical in them. Its crazy huh?? I stress over bills and school but never have dreams about not paying the rent or failing a test.

    I think its our subconsious telling us we are on wedding over load and our brain computers are about to crash. haha! Get used to them! They will happen more and more.....

    oh wedding dreams...I've been having them for over a year already, sporadically.  I think it's just a way for us to work through anxiety, and you're right, when you wake up and it wasn't true, that feels even better!

    I shouldn't laugh, but the part about Lerner's and the mole made me chuckle. I'm about 5 weeks away, and my wedding nightmares started about a month ago. Most of mine are it's the DAY of the wedding and and I haven't had my dress altered and I don't have time to get my hair done, and I'm going straight from work to my wedding. It's upsetting, you think you're doing to sleep to get some rest and forget about your stress for awhile, and then you wake up with this anxiety that wasn't there the night before!
