Kind of freaking out!

Anyone else who's getting married in the next few weeks totally freaking out? (or any advice from the newlyweds??)  I keep going back and forth with having everything under control and feeling like crying!  FI is all lovey-dovey and cute and put together and I am a total mess. Am I the one with cold feet??

    I'm not quite where you are yet (I still have a few weeks), but I'm guessing its not cold feet.  For me, I feel "responsible' for the party.  My FI helps, but I'm the one primarily in charge of the planning, which is, I'm guessing the case for most brides (sorry men).  Its stressful planning a wedding and I'm guessing that stress is coming through for you by going back and forth between crying and having everything under control :)

    Breathe...you are about to marry the man you love in a few weeks and it will be AMAZING!

    Don't worry!! It's totally normal for you to be freaking out. You're probably stressed from handling all the planning details and pulling it all together. FI will probably freak out a little more once you're actually in OBX and it's all happening. We women just shoulder alot more of the burden when it comes to worrying about things coming together perfectly. Try to breathe and enjoy the moments leading up to your day. You should feel like a princess.

    It's definitely not cold feet.  As PP said, it's just stress.  I felt the exact same way leading up to the day.  Take a day and go out on the town with your FI to get your mind off of everything...go to a movie, go out to eat and have a few drinks.  You need a break from your wedding. :)

    I'm stressed too, but for other reasons!  right now i'm stressed because I want our venue, photog, and Rev Jay booked and I know they aren't/can't be yet because FMIL needs to get the proposal from the Sanderling!  Then Rev Jay can be booked, and Matt Lusk can be booked!   I just don't want anyone to take our date. :-)

    TOTALLY FREAKING OVER HERE!!! ha We are getting married one week from today :) I'm just very anxious...Im the one worrying about the details and making sure everyone will be entertained, etc. While FI is worried about buying a new fishing rod to surf fish with for the week. ha Im happy he is relaxed about the day only wish I had his mentality! ha
    Everything will work out and be better than any of us could imagine. We all need to relax and enjoy every minute. Aferall, you will only get to plan a wedding once!!!(at least thats the plan)

    Definitely still freaking out. We are 4 days away and trying to finish crafting and getting everything together.  Thanks for making it seem normal.  I'm definitely stressed to the max.  I started a new job 2 weeks ago, so that has just added to my pandemonium.

    It's totally ok.  Once you are there you will be calm.  Make a list of everything you have to do and I bet it's not as bad as you think.  Don't feel bad if you have to delegate.  Go get a pedicure or a massage and enjoy yourself

    Just remember that you're GETTING MARRIED (yay!!) and everything won't go as planned, but it will still be a great day.  I was definitely stressed leading up to when we left, but once we hit the beach I had to give it up.  I kicked back, relaxed, and enjoying everything about the OBX.  I may have stalked the weather and wild fire a little bit, but other than that I let the plans go.

    Ryan was totally calm, but I think that's because I was the one in charge of everything and keeping the lists.  I'd reevaluate anything that you're still stressed about trying to finish and see if you really have to have it.  I'd make your final lists so you don't have to stress about forgetting anything and then just let it happen.  I also agree about pampering yourself... my mani and pedi a couple days before were awesome.
