No fan of the spotlight

Jen, on February 14, 2020 at 10:44 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8
Anyone else terrified of having the spot light? I can sing, dance, and talk comfortably to my first graders all day long but any other crowd I fell uncomfortable and I don’t like it. Also being in the spotlight for photos. How to get over it? I am thinking mimosas. 😉 The spotlight for wedding dress shopping was already a lot for me haha!

    Lol yes mimosas!!! But I think you’ll be so overcome with joy and surrounded by so much love that it’ll put you at ease.

    Hi Jen. I'm currently in the same situation. I've always been shy and not liked the spotlight, but with all my family and friends, happiness and support we will have that day, I'm hopeful that all the anxiousness will go away. I definitely agree with Makeda! Also, a little liquid courage would help 😂

    I don’t like the spotlight either. I’m kinda introverted. Ambivert but leaning more on the introvert side. So I know how you feel.

    I’m the same way and I was so anxious at my shower I thought how can I do this. But on the wedding day I was just so relaxed and happy and surrounded by love that I was completely fine.

    I’m no fan of the spotlight either. But on my wedding day I didn’t actually notice it that much. I mean, obviously we were the center of attention but not in the intrusive way I expected.

    If you drink, having a mimosa or two will definitely help you lighten up.

    Hire a photographer whom you feel really comfortable with. The right photographer makes a huge difference in putting you at ease for photos.

    I'm one of those people who is 100% fine with presenting to a group of 100 students or colleagues but hates being doted on. They are two very different ways to be the center of attention, so it totally makes sense that you feel the way you do and I totally get it. I know for me having a drink will help me relax just enough that the nerves would dissipate and being with my love will take away all of the anxiousness.

    I've been at weddings where the bride and groom each took a shot before going down the aisle. It helped!
