Seriously so nervous to! I just hate the fact that there’s gonna be absolutely no sound but the music and all eyes on me. That is SO uncomfortable!! I also tend to get very light headed and need to sit down whenever Im nervous, so I have no idea what to do about that. is anyone else feeling this way...

    YES! Same. I'm actually dreading it... I get so blotchy and red when people look at me. I'm terrified I'm going to look ridiculous in my photos Smiley sad

    1) We are doing a first look to get the pre wedding jitters out and my fiancé is literally my rock, so seeing him beforehand is going to help a ton and I won't have to worry about my emotions being too out of control if i see him beforehand. I know i'd cry like a baby if walking down the aisle was the "first look"

    2) I heard people say just focus on your future husband and you will be fine and not notice people.

    3) maybe some champagne before the ceremony? haha

    I'm the same way, OP, and I have major anxiety.

    AND I walk down stairs, which part of me is super excited for, and the other part of me wants to practice walking down those stairs in a dress a million times so I don't trip and fall down them!

    I am doing a first look, have you tried bringing it up to FS about how it would help with your anxiety? If he still says no, he says no, but maybe that'll get him to budge a little. Can't hurt to ask!

    My advice is on the day of, before guests arrive, if you can, look at the aisle and imagine your FS waiting at the end of it, and just focus on that. Then take nice, deep, calming breaths. You probably feel dizzy and faint because your breathing accelerates and you aren't getting enough oxygen to your brain. Focus on deep and even breaths while you're walking down the aisle.

    Take either prescribed medication or, like others have said, a little bit of liquid courage! A bit of wine before the ceremony will calm your nerves a bit.

    Many people say when they do walk down the aisle, they're so focused on their SO that they completely forget there's other people there! Focus on that, take deep breaths, and remember the walk is SUPER short and you can speed it up if you want to.

    You'll be just fine!
