We're only about 2.5 weeks away from our (totally DIY) wedding and I'm feeling surprisingly stress-free. We've got most of the details set and a great team of people helping us out, so I'm really starting to get excited!
FH, on the other hand, is getting more and more nervous by the day. He's super uncomfortable being the center of attention in general so this is a real stretch for him (which is part of the reason it's taken us 7.5 years of dating to get to this point ). We're not doing a lot of the traditional "center of attention" type things like a first dance, garter/bouquet toss, sweetheart table, etc. And we're going for a very relaxed, intimate event with only 60 of our closest friends and family. But we'll still obviously be very much the center of attention for the whole thing. He's worried about getting emotional in front of people, convinced we're both going to be crying, blubbering messes. Which, let's be honest, is a real possibility. He's worried that he'll get stressed out over stuff which typically leads to him getting angry and attitude-y (no fun for anyone). And really, all the socializing and pleasant chit-chat is just not his style. He really is a lovely person, I don't want to make it sound otherwise, this is just all so outside his comfort zone. I try to tell him to just relax and not worry about other people, we just want to focus on each other. But I know that's easier said than done. Any suggestions on how I can help to calm his nerves so he can truly enjoy the day?
