Alright bees, I'm TOTALLY scared about several things. I'm talking heart beating, head throbbing, asthma attack scared of several things:
1 - NO one shows up!!! how awful would that be!
2 - it's not fun. What if people came and the wedding just sucked. I want people to dance and enjoy themselves. But I can't force them to do so. How ever will I combat this???
3 - I fall. Yep. admit it with me (or at least make me feel better) - I am terrified of taking that first step and doing a face plant.
4 - Someone falls in the pool. Our venue has a poolside option. It's beautiful, but what if someone falls in? How horrible would that be?
5 - My pictures will suck. I am not photogenic. I take 1 good picture for every 500 that I take.
6 - I will put his ring on the wrong hand. I'm an encore bride, and yes, I did this in the first wedding. I guess that was a sign, huh?
I have several others, but I didn't want to let everyone know how much of a baby I am. But honestly putting them all out there did help a little bit. I should probably make a list and think about what I can do to try and prevent some of these things from happening.
Am I the only one with crazy wedding day fears?
I was afraid that all our pictures would suck (I'm not photogenic at all, either), but they were awesome. Have faith in your photographers! ;)
1. My dress will somehow fall down and I will end up flashing EVERYONE I KNOW!!
2. My eyes will be closed in all the pictures.
3. My daughter will somehow step on my dress and tear it (or maybe she's the reason it falls down?)
4. That I wrote the wrong date on the invitation and no one shows up!
I'm with you.. falling .. that's huge. OR it being boring and my brothers leaving early and announcing that they are leaving because IT SUCKS.
there's many ... many more. I haven't ever seen any real bad things at weddings in person ... so i'm sure it'll be fine.
@HisIrishPrincess: "This wedding sucks! I'm out of here." Stomp Stomp Stomp.
You poor thing. That would scare me too!
My biggest fear is whether everyone will fit comfortably inside my mom's house if it rains. I'm TERRIFIED of everyone on the guest list attending, it raining, all of us squished like sardines inside the house, and everyone forever after talking about how awful my wedding was. (We can't have a tent because of the way their backyard slopes.)
Far below that fear are my two others: that our pictures will suck, and that people will be bored.
@SoontobeMrsA: HEHE those made me laugh.... but they will be added to my list of horrors ... flashing the guests ... maybe i can tie that into falling .. then flashing ... oh and then can i be flashing the priest too?
@HisIrishPrincess: Being topless is my biggest fear in life and I'm not really sure why! I have nightmares that I show up to work/my daughter's school/the wedding with nothing on above my waist.
My biggest wedding fears:
-It rains, and we don't get to have the beautiful outdoor wedding I want
-FMIL/FFIL embarass me/us really bad
-Traffic is awful and people don't make it on time (we're getting married on a Friday evening, so this is a very real possibility)
-I fall. I'm going to practice a LOT wearing my 4" heels so that this doesn't happen!
I had a super-realistic dream the other night about everything wedding-related that I'm afraid of happening. Some of them were really stupid, so I won't include them, lol.
Some of these still aren't quite rational, but I'm still scared of them!
Fi's biggest wedding fear is me getting drunk at the reception lol. By my second glass of wine, I tend to be running around hugging everyone. And I knock things over (hello red wine on my white dress!).
1. That I'll look terrible in all the photographs. Or that my photographers won't make it.
2. That I'll gain a hideous amount of weight between now and then and not fit into my dress.
3. That it will be really really really hot and our clear top tent will turn into a greenhouse.
4. That the police will make us turn off the music at like 9pm.
1. My videographer wont show up
2. I wont have any of my Bridesmaids follow through with ordering their dresses
3. My dad wont really pay off my dress or wedding venue
4. My cake will suck
5. We wont have a DJ
6. FI's brother will tell everyone how much the family doesnt like me in his BM speech.
I have a few fears about the wedding, they include but are not limited to:
1. A certain person finds out and shows up
2. can't find THE dress on time
3. Bad pictures
4. Out of state family cannot make it
5. Something happens to the cake (very common problem with my family for some reason)
how could i forget RAIN!!! eek. I too am planning an outdoor ceremony. And what if my ex husband shows up and shoots everyone? man I should have eloped.
Oh, I forgot to add that currently the entire street that our venue is on is under construction. The end date of that construction? MAY 22ND. One week before our date.
We were just there and the entire road is dug up, and they're putting all the telephone lines etc underground to give better uninterrupted views of the ocean (which is great). All this is occuring right in front of our ceremony lawn, as well as in front of the actual reception building and hotel.There's dirt and holes and sand and trucks and cranes and bobcats everywhere. Not so great.
I will die if they're not finished on time. The town actually gave them a $ incentive to finish on time for the beginning of wedding season, but we all know how these things go. I'm just hoping it will be all nice and pretty and clean by our date!
But then again, it's going to rain on our day so I won't even have to worry about our outdoor ceremony... hahaha. God help me.
I am mostly worried about it not being exactly how I envision it. It's a backyard wedding that I'm planning myself - so I feel like there are so many ways it could go wrong!
Yikes! Just writing these out made me really nervous :(
@souliganprincess: As long as its not you who falls in the pool you will be fine! Dont have your ceremony next to the pool!!!
None of my biggest fears came true on my wedding day but they were rain and having bad diarrhea! It did rain on my wedding day (good luck) but not for our outdoor ceremony so I was ecstatic!
I had a dream this past weekend that my youngest brother showed up to the wedding with pineapples as shoes, I am guessing that means I am freaking out because my wedding is in two weeks and this people still do not have outfits: Grandmother, Grandfather, Father, Older brother, and possibly youngest brother. My mom just ordered hers online last week.
I am also worried that the caterer will not show up and we have to feed everyone with like pizza or something.
@napabridekelsey: I am feeling the same way! I am having it in my church but I am doing the planning COMPLETELY by my self =( and i suck at planning anything i forget everything and I am afraid it will bu a big hot mess LOL! good luck to you 
@PitBulLover: Definitely will not be having the ceremony by the pool - I was thinking about having either the cocktail hour or the reception by it. By with the reception, I can totally see someone electric sliding their way right on into the deep end.
Hmmm, haven't really thought about my fears until this post (THANKS! hehe) Here are some off the top of my head:
* Not being able to fall asleep the night before the wedding, and therefore having puffy eyes the morning of the wedding (not to mention being sleepy on my own wedding day).
* Having my hair and make-up turn out bad.
* Getting a serious nervous stomach ache the day of and having uncontrolable diarrhea ("Excuse me, but before I say 'I do', I need to run to the bathroom, brb!")
* My groom getting cold feet and not showing up to marry me....God, that would be absolutely horrible!
@souliganprincess: That would make for some awesome and memorable pictures though :)
@souliganprincess: Lol, well as long as its not you or its not during your ceremony then I think it can only be a funny story to tell your future children! :-D
That someone will get drunk at my wedding and make a fool out of themselves!
Also, that people won't be on time to our ceremony and see me before I walk down the aisle
That I wont lose the weight ( I am trying soooo hard) to fit great into my dress.
OMG... you ladies that have had nightmares, I am SO right there with you! So far, my worst fear is that my photographer would fall ill and not be able to make it! When we first met with her she was planning a Missions Trip to Haiti & this was at the height of the Cholera epidemic... so I was terrified she'd contract cholera and we'd be up a creek. Wow! How selfish, right?!?!?! Her trip was cancelled, though (due to the Cholera outbreak).. so phew.
My other biggest fear is that no one will have fun. My FI and I are really fun people, and we've already had people telling us that they can't wait til the wedding because it's gonna be the "funnest wedding ever", etc. So it's really a lot of pressure! Ah!
This list makes me so grateful for my last minute, unplanned JoP wedding!
Hugs & best wishes, brides!
I'm most afraid that something will go wrong with the music - too quiet, too loud, not working, etc.
The weather is awful.
One of us gets cold feet and doesn't show up.
It's not fun.
Having bad pictures.
My major fears consist of:
Breaking out with cystic acne right before the wedding
Neck will suddenly "go up in muscle spasms" (happens almost every time i'm very excited or nervous about something and then I can barely move for days)
I'll have a manic, too huge smile and I'll look like a psychopath in all my photos!
WOW! All of these would not be fun. I think I will just narrow mine down to 3:
1. Any kind of abdominal sickness---Him or me=nasty wedding night, but hillarious stories later.
2. Crappy weather---It's April so that's a toss-up
3. Rude wedding guests which results in me snapping and beating someone up in my white dress and heels... but there again, hillarious stories later or at the very least a pretty spectacular youtube video.
- That someone in my family will get in a knock-down, drag-out fight with someone else in my family (it happens fairly regularly so this is a legitimate concern).
- That the pictures will be awful.
- That people won't be able to come because of the time of the year/day of the week.
1 - pictures will suck
2 - i won't smile properly for pics - i actually get criticized a lot for how i smile in pics because it doesn't look genuine. i am hoping that i will be so happy that day it will make every smile look "real"!
3 - that my MOH and BM will fight (super long story, but having them in close proximity has been stressing me out for a while)
4 - that it won't be as amazing as a years worth of planning should have made it be
5 - and this my biggest fear because i have major sleep issues - that i won't be able to fall asleep the night before and therefore be exhausted all day and eager for bed! (i plan to avoid this with benadryl!)
I'm afraid no one will come, because a huge chunk of our guests are from out-of-town (including almost ALL of the groom's side!).
I'm worried that the photos will be nice, (of course they will), but not PERFECT because I am picky and terrible at explaining what I want, and because I'm not at all photogenic.
I'm worried about what horrors will come from having my parents there.
That it won't be the awesome, hard-rock, party-til-dawn I'm envisioning. Though, if those out-of-towners actually do show, I probably don't have to worry about this. Shame nobody dependably awesome lives near us. ;)
My biggest fears
1. It rains
2. Breaking out
3. Hating my hair
4. Getting sick
5. One of my FI nephews shouts out something inappropriate during the ceremony.
6. Not finding the dress of my dreams and settling for something because I am running out of time
7. an inappropriate toast by the best man who is socially inadequate
8. Kids misbehaving during the ceremony and reception.
I'm worried that my dad will step on my dress while walking me down the aisle.
I'm from overseas and have 19 people from my side on the guest list vs. 137 from FH's side. I'm afraid it will feel more like his family reunion than OUR special day.
I'm worried I will snap at some point from being so stressed from the wedding preparations in addition to my parents' expectation that I will play tour guide for the out of town guests days before my wedding as well as having to simultaneously translate everything that is being said and repeatedly yell in my father's ear because his hearing is not that good.
I'm afraid there will be a blizzard on my wedding day and I will be late for church, or the vendors will have trouble getting to our remote reception location.
I'm afraid that FH's friends from work who are known to drink like fish will take advantage of our open bar, get trashed, pick a fight, or will otherwise behave obnoxious.
I'm not a "here comes the bride!" type of person and dread having to walk down a long church aisle while 150 people, most of who I hardly know, stare at me. Along those lines, I am also afraid I will trip, bawl my eyes out, or have trouble with my contact lenses while walking down the aisle.
