Biggest fears?

geojam224 · May 2012

Maybe this post is a bad idea, but I'm curious.

My biggest fears:

1) My friend from high school will bring her boyfriend. I hooked them up years ago and have since had a falling out with him. Although, he has RSVPed no. *relief*

2) The *VERY* expensive band won't get to play for the full 4 hours. We had a meeting with them and they had expected from our timeline that the real party (meaning after dinner and first dances and toasts and such) won't get started until 10pm. We have the space til midnight *YIKES*

3) The Bridesmaids and the Groomsmen won't look right together. Colors are purple and green. Bridesmaids are wearing purple and black, groomsmen in green and black. It looks cool in my head, but I hope it's cohesive in reality.

4) The vendors won't communicate. I really want to feel better about this- they are the professionals, I'm really trusting them to deliver, but I'm afraid everyone has their own ideas and no one iwll commuicate with each other.

5) My MOH will bomb the speech

6) My pastor will let slip that we aren't exactly virgins like my parents think (we tried, and we aren't having sex now, but he knows that we slipped up)

What is everyone else worried about? And married ladies, what were you worried about and did any of it come true?

I only have a couple of fears:

1. bad weather... i'm afraid, it will rain and storm on my wedding day and ruin everything... (my engagement party in 2010 got postpone because of a huge snow storm... so, you see, i have experience with bad weather... LOL)

2. something bad will happen before the wedding, and we have to postpone - but we can't, since we already paid for everything

3. A lot of no-shows and reception room looks empty, coz everyone cancelled last minute (our total guest is only 85, so it's not a lot of guests to start with...)

4 my seamstress messes up the dress (i'm picking it up on wednesday next week) and i have 3 days to find a new perfect wedding dress...

Only a 11 more days til i find out if any of it will come thru... ugh... i'm so nervous...

Well this is sort of tragically perfect timing for me. I am sitting here tearing up because I feel so overwhelmed with moving this weekend and the wedding coming in 11 days...

1) The best man is going to bring his date early even though I specifically told him not to and she is going to expect to hang out with me and the BP before the ceremony. I haven't even MET this B yet and I already hate her because of his attitude.

2) The photographer is going to miss all my must have shots because he doesn't like to be tied down to a specific list.

3) I'm going to cry so much that I won't be able to stop it at my eyes and my airbrush makeup is going to streak off.

4) It's going to be 110 degrees outside and everyone is going to drip sweat and hate me.

5) Half the people in the wedding already are acting inconvenienced by things and I'm afraid they aren't going to do what they're supposed to day of because they're fed up over nothing.

6) Some of my college friends are going to get wasted and embarrass me

7) The candy bar is going to look stupid and childish

8) Our pictures that we're going to have forever are going to look bad because one of the GMs is really awkward looking which I feel like a horrible person for saying but I really need to get that off my chest.

1. That I will bawl like a fool and not be able to get my vows out and my nose is running all over the place and my eye makeup looks like Alice Cooper.

2. horrible rain with my outdoor ceremony

We are exchanging our vows in private, in writing, before the ceremony. Between FI's shyness and my crybaby tendencies, I don't think we'll be able to get through them in front of a crowd. my officiant is saying something like, "they wrote their own vows but chose to share them in private earlier"

I haven't posted on here in forever...but I am a May 27th bride.

My biggest fears:

1.) That we won't be able to enjoy most of the day because we will be too busy taking pictures or trying to talk to guests. (Our ceremony can be no earlier than 630pm-Jewish wedding). We are having "first look" pictures beforehand as well as immediate family photos and bridal party pictures. Other photos will be taken during cocktail hour or reception.

2.) That somebody will notice or think my dress is too winkled.

3). Poor Weather

4.) The ceremony will go on way too long.

5.) Guests will be too hungry by dinnertime or they will be mad that we are only offering cake as dessert.

6.) That somebody will think I am too fat (Didnt lose the weight I wanted to)

Whew..didnt realize I had so many fears or how superficial they were...lol.

Tully16 · May 2012

I have only one fear - that I will be so nervous about being the center of attention that I won't be able to enjoy the day. Hopefully that won't be the case.

bpphoto785 · May 2012

1. That I will "ugly cry" while trying to recite my vows and there'll be more sniffling than speaking.

2. That the decor we've worked on will look stupid.

3. That my Mom, FMIL or MOH will be nit-picky or controlling and will make things awkward and/or will piss me off.

4. I won't feel pretty.

geojam224 · May 2012

I'm sorry, I forgot a few more in my original list.

7) I'm afraid my mom will throw a hissy fit about our nixing certain traditions.

8) I'm afraid we're gonna get flack about our full-grown women flower girls that don't match anything. (Seriously, they anointed themselves flower girls, it wasn't worth the drama to fight it, then they bought their own dresses that don't match the wedding colors.)

9) That I'll get my period (if it's on time, I will get it THE DAY OF- but it usually isn't on time *fingers crossed*)

10) That I won't be able to hide my acne scars and they will haunt me in pictures forever.

<div>This was my exact fear! I was a nervous wreck all morning, but once I held DH's hand I felt a million times better! It wasn't until we had arrived at the reception and I had eaten dinner that I felt completely relaxed, and I was able to enjoy the rest of the night :)</div>

Holy crap ladies! Take a deep breath and relax. Everything will work out just fine and it will be a perfect day for you. You've worked so hard to make this day happen, all you can do is sit back and enjoy it.

THIS is my number one biggest fear!

Other fears - My cousins bf who she didnt want invited...long story..will come anyways and really wont fit in with any of the other guests and can be quite conflictual.

It could rain

My mom will fallow through on her threat (she thinks the bridesmaids dresses are too low...which they are not really even that low and none of my bm's have much cleavage anyways) and walk out of the church since I didnt follow her orders and tell them all to wear white bands under the dresses.

amanda14lynne · May 2012

*rain/heat

*SPACE! We are definitely putting more people in the our reception venue than we should. I sure hope we can make it work and people aren't upset

*everyone leaves early!

*I will forget to enjoy each moment of the day
