Stomach In Knots

[Error_kitten]

So last night I couldnt sleep, my stomach is in knots. I'm so excited that were getting so close but its hitting me like a brick wall that were almost there.
Im just staying clam and working on what i need to work on, but i'm still feeling all weird and funny.
The only way to describe it is stage fright (I did alot of theater as a kid).
My stomache isin knots I feel achey all over, I know I sound like Im sick but I get like this when I'm nervouse...
And its not nerves about getting married its about the whole getting up infront of people and doing this. I know right? A theater geek getting stage fright about her wedding...
And its not that im worried Ill mess up its more about if the cermony is long enough (I wrote it myself, and a good friend of ours got his notary just so he could preform our wedding).
How im going to make it so he can read it (IE in a scroll or put it in a pretty book).
Wether my BM's are going to figure out how their coming down the Isle (the music i chose is super cool and up beat and their doing a little choreographed walk/dance down the isle) But we havent gotten all the bugs worked out of it and their not all at the same place to even practice.

*Gulp*
I leave in 12 days....
I hope I can calm down by then... Heh...

Wow!!!

Ur wedding definately does not sound like just a ceremony....it sounds like an awesome theatrical production! Which is exactly why it will turn out amazing and perfect! People will have a great time and trust me they are not going to realize if a BM misses a step or beat, they will be so in awe of the amazing things you have planned that they wont pick out the possible tiny imperfections

As far as your having "stage fright"........

it may sound silly, but when you and DH2B are at the altar (or whatever) you will be in this bubble, you most likely wont even notice the guests staring at you because you will be in your own little fantasy world, the crowd will be a fuzz.

Take a deep breath and relax!! Enjoy these times and dont get yorrself in a downer because of nerves, things will turn out perfect and even if they dont....does it matter? You will probably laugh about it a year from now anyways.......Enjoy your day, your new husband, and your guests.....it goes by too quickly.......

Good luck.....we will all be thinking of you! Enjoy your day and your honeymoon!

 

[Error_kitten]

Thanks... I know I will enjoy the honeymoon.
Holding out a month before is driving me crazy!!!!!
Of course I'm sure you wanted to know that. LOL.
Ugh I cant wait till this whole thing fianly happens!

 

[TinkBride]

HAHA

That idea has been discussed on this end as well, and i just dont know if i could do it (or not do it? )

The end result will make the time spent worthwhile!

Your wedding sounds fantastic! I understand the "theatre butterflies" but we just use them as positive energy!

You know the thoughts of
--Will I remember my lines?
--Can I count on my fellow actors to know their lines?
--Will my costume fit?
--Will I do something stupid?

Most often times, everything goes well and all the nervous energy can be put to "other" endeavors. One of the best pieces of advice a former theatre professor gave me was "You have to learn to turn that little voice off in the back of your head that says 'That was stupid...why did you do that?' Once I could do that...I could/can do anything!

I'm sure you will be fine and I can't wait to see this wedding. It has all the aspects I love in it. I'm a Renaissance Faire junkie , I love Disney , and I'm all about the theatre (I'm currently in rehearsal of a show that opens this Thursday--a mere two days away )

Pixiedust to you and your DF

error_kitten,

I was checking in with you today to see how the beautiful bride was holding out.

 

[Error_kitten]

I am doing much better, DF and I talked (well talked after i cried hystericly for no reason for a half hour) And i was able to sort out how I feel.
And I'm not having cold feet I would sign the marrige paper right now no questions asked. Its just the cerimony that I'm freaking out about.
And he said that he's been feeling the exact same way and he was glad to know I felt that way as well as him.
So it was nice I got lots of hugs. It made me happy.
:
I'm still freaking out but at least I know why now!

 

[Tinkerbellz]

I'm sorry....I didn't mean to insinuate that you had cold feet about the wedding. I'm glad you and DF talked and cried together. It sounds like you are both on the same page now.

Sweet dreams, and no stress! Your day will soon be here!

Take a deep breath. Everything will turn out much better than you ever imagined and it will be the most amazing day of your life. And if there are a few bloopers, just know that it will be something to laugh about later, or a story to tell your grandchildren. We're all thinking about you and excited that your day is so near. I still have 8 months of anxiety. Good luck with everything and keep your chin up!

Tink:
Oh you wernt say I was.
I was worrying that I was because I couldnt figure out why I was so upset.
It was a me thing.

Error Kitten,
I just wanted to say hi and I hope all goes well! I'm sure it will all work out with your bridesmaids!

What about the best man? Did that work itself out? There was an issue there -- he wasn't calling you back, right?

I stress out about things so much! Another reason I want to get married in August, so when I am freaking out in July I don't have to be working!!! (teacher)

itgirl:
No he never called us. We drove to his work last weekend (1 hrs away) DF found him talked to him told him he had till the next afternoon to tell us if he was going to be able to make it or not.
He never called us...
DF said eff it then and asked his dad instead.

I know its bothered DF alot especialy since first his brother got sent to africa with the marines and now BM bailed on him.
Oh well at least he didnt have to plan the wedding.
All's well now though thank goodness.
Now I get to spend the next 3 days teaching contractors.... Blah...
Oh well such is life.
