Hey all - Just need a little advice/reassurance about the Ceremony...I'm completely 100% totally ready to get married, but am stressing about the ceremony.I was JUST in a wedding last month and couldn't stop sweating.  My hands actually swelled because they were sweating so badly.  Botox is out of the question, I try anti-perspirants but my hands still swell.  I'm so so so nervous that FI won't be able to get the ring on my finger...Being it's a Catholic wedding, I know the ceremony lasts longer so I'll be anticipating it longer.Anyone have this problem or know how to get over it?? TIA

    First try the type of antipersparent you put on the night before and absorbs into your skin Second try taking an anti inflamatory ahead of time Third relax. I was nervous too I decided that I would mentally walk myself thru the worst case senario and then anything better then that was wonderful.

    Have someone smear a little oil on the inside of your ring right before the ceremony -- that might help it slide on easier.

    Try putting lotion on your hands before...might help the ring slide on better.Is there AC in the church? That may help...if not, maybe the could strategically place a fan somewhere for you? Not sure if that will help, just throwing it out there. GL!

    No salt for at least a couple days before. Too much salt will swell your fingers up. Relax. I know it's hard, but if you don't stress about sweating, you might not sweat as much. Nervous sweats won't be a problem if you can calm your nerves. Good Luck & don't worry. With everything else going on, you prolly won't even think about it on the big day.
