Wedding and Wedding Planning Fears

TysWife2Be

Do you have any?

I am so scared that I will turn into Bridezilla on my BMs.

I think that is the biggest thing for me...it matters a LOT to me...I dont want to be a psycho b*tch to my friends...they mean too much to me...

How can I prevent this?

The WHOLE thing!!! LOL - the irony is I LOVE wedding planning but even though this is my 2nd marriage, it is my first wedding! Plus there are like 225 people coming so I'm through! But I'm going to make it

OFF

That a vendor will disappear on me.  Oh wait that's happened! My other fear is that it will be cold and rainy.  Depending on which forecast I read it may just be that.  Luckily I have so much champagne in me I no longer care.

I'm afraid that someone will make me act out of character (ie bridezilla-like) on my wedding day and that it will ruin the expreience. And I'm scared my pix won't come out well because I'm not photogenic lol.

</div><div>I think the best way to prevent it is to over-communicate in advance, so they know exactly what you need them to do.  Also, you could create a wedding weekend schedule for them that would be very clear about where they should be and when, what they should bring with them, their roles in the weekend, etc.  Also maybe talk to them in advance (one on one with each one) to see if there's anything specific they're good at or that they want to help you with so you can hopefully align your requests to their strengths.  You will be fine!  Just breathe and enjoy the day!

I fear that we will not have everything paid for in time! :-(

I fear that I'll forget about something really big and won't think of it until the week of the wedding.  I feel like we're planning everything so early that I may forget something b/c I feel like we've accomplished so much already.

Thanks cincy! But no, really, sometimes I look crazy in pix. And don't let me take my glasses off, cuz my left eye gets a lil weak. But I won't have that prob on my wedding day because the glasses will be on.

I don't really have fears but my biggest concern is traveling with my dress; I hope the airline doesn't try to make me check it.
