Weddingbee boards

Ok... So recently I have been freaking out a little bit. Ok a lot bit! So I am planning on having my brother walk me down the aisle because my father died when I was young. My fear starts with being an uncomfortable "bride" in fact I told my mom she wasn't allowed to call me the bride any more because it made me feel really uncomfortable. I don't like being started at and being the center of attention. It's not like i have issues with social situations or really mind having people look at me. But the idea of having EVERYONE staring at me really freaks me out. I am scared that I will enter the church freeze and turn around! I want to be married! I just don't want everyone to stare at me.

Another fear would be that the band will not get the memo that there isn't supposed to be a father daughter dance and will call for one. (i will lose it!) Promise this isn't an out of the blue fear! My family had a big party for my cousin and I when we were in College and the band called us on the stage and then asked for our dads to come for for a father daughter dance. I was standing on stage by myself while my uncle and cousin danced beside me. I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and had to spend a good bit of the rest of the party clearing my face of runny mascara!

ANY ADVICE???

I actually used to DJ weddings and it is customary for the performer to speak privately to the bride or groom just before starting.  A good performer will review the main songs with you and any special requests or things you don't want.  If you won't be present prior to your entrance, make sure you ask someone else to have this talk with them.  The last thing they'd want to do is make you uncomfortable!
