Wedding in about 10 days!!!!!

danni7murphy

I am really freaking out!  I just am having these fears that something just won't work out . Or I haven't thought of something etc.I usually dont get nervous about anything . What did you experience right before your wedding ? Or what are you experiencing if your close ?

I was really pretty calm.  I worried about my dress alot--like something devastating would happen to it!  But nothing happened, everything was perfect, and everything looked just like I envisioned.

One thing I did that helped was: I got 3 boxes and labeled them RD, Ceremony and Reception.  I also had a "bride bag" for my personal items.  I printed my checklist off TK and put everything I would need for each event in the boxes and my personal items in the bag.  That way when I was ready to leave, I just loaded them in the car already knowing everything was in there.

That is a really awesome piece of advice, I may have to do that soon!  We miss you Stephie!

I was pretty calm too. I didn't have boxes like Stephie, but I did have a running checklist which helped me stay organized and made me feel like I had everything accomplished and under control. I also delegated things to people that I knew I could trust, since I knew I couldn't handle it all. I know it's hard but try not to stress about things that "could" happen. That's not productive and will only lead to you running around like a mad woman. Deal with things as they come.

I was really calm because everything was done.

I took Stephie's advice and had a box/stack for the reception packed and ready to go.   I didn't really need much for the rehearsal because all we had were flower arrangements/petals and a digital photo frame.

..and for getting ready the "day of", this is going to sound tacky....but I used one of those giant blue IKEA bags and put pretty much everything in it except my dress.  It came in so handy, and when my Mom & MOH packed everything up at the end of the night they were able to just throw everything in there for me.

Great minds think alike :)

I had designated boxes as well, and had my checklist on my iphone.

I missed a couple of minor things ( I had a Bridal Suite sign for our room which I forgot to put on and I forgot our aviators last minute for our outdoor pictures).
