  im an Aug 4 bride & i get pretty emotional over the easiest things.  I have pretty much finalized everything so my stress level has dropped, I just get nervous being in front of so many people.  I tend to cry thinking about the ceremony but its out of happiness..
  I think its completely normal for a bride to be emotional close to her wedding, but I would make sure this is the man you want to be with & that wants to be with you. I wouldnt want to doubt my wedding taking place either, but I bet if you have a conversation with your FI you will ease your doubt of the wedding taking place or not.

  Im an august 5th bride and my feelings do tend to be very easily stirred and by that I mean that whenever someone says something sweet, romantic or very thoughtfull I begin to cry lol but the feeling that lies beneath my tears is pure happiness. My advice for you would be to speak to your FI and if he is the one he will be able to force those negative thoughts away from you and set you at ease. Theres nothing wrong with crying once in a while as long as its not out of fear or pure stress. Good luck!

  i am an Aug 4th bride and I think your feelings are quite normal.  This weekend was my FSD's high school graduation and as my FI's emotions were out of control (as was his spending) I kept thinking to myself can I handle this for the rest of my life?  and I get weepy and stressed at the drop of a hat.  I think all of our emotions are on a roller coster with stress, nerves and excitement.  I try to make sure I take a bubble bath or do a mud mask or SOMETHING once a week just to help me relax and not go totally crazy

  I am also an Aug 3rd bride (high-five) and feel the pressure.  After practically planning my own bridal shower, I found out that my bachelorette party in Vegas may be cancelled, and I still have major things to plan (flowers, wedding cake, limo, honeymoon).  This all came to an explosion of tears before my birthday last Saturday.
  
  Luckily, my FI is amazing and can always talk me down from the ledge.  Plus the crying was very stress relieving.
  
  Hope you feel better!

  Date twins!! I'm also an Aug 3rd bride.  Wedding planning is SUPER stressful!!  My FI and I took last weekend "off" - we made a promise not to talk about anything wedding related for 48 hours.  It helped!! My mom and I had plans to meet at the reception site to "double check" measurements - a good thing, because the initial ones were off and we had to re-plan the layout. I also think taking the time to really connect with your sweetie will help eliminate some of the jitters.

  You know what helps me? Season 2 of How I met your Mother- it's when Lily and Marshall get married, and the portrayal of the ridiculous-yet realistic- wedding planning crap they go through helps me laugh at stuff I otherwise would cry about.

  Also, there's a great scene where Marshall describes Lily crying about ANYTHING that was going wrong with wedding planning.

  Definitely something to watch while working on favours or any wedding DIY.

  
  

  I also am starting to lose my grip on my emotional control- so I think it may be normal.
