QOTD 9/17

minionlover · September 2012

What are your most irrational WR and NWR fears?

minionlover · September 2012

NWR - Monsters under the bed. Yup you read that right. Recently we watched an episode of Destination Truth and I had to jump into bed and couldn't get out until the morning. I'm pathetic.

WR - Missing our flights to Flordia or running out of money.

achiduck · September 2012

NWR - drowning, snakes, getting mugged.

WR - that my FSIL/BM will continue her selfish ways and try to make the wedding about her (in which case the rest of the BMs will give her a beatdown), that one of FI's GMs will get totally wasted b/c he has a tendency to do/say inappropriate things (the other GMs are keeping an eye on him) and that one of my vendors (not sure which one) will totally screw up everything.

Ividian · September 2012

NWR-stinging/biting flying insects. Got stung/bitten a LOT as a child and they still make me squeal like a little girl.

WR-That I'll look stupid in my photos-I don't tend to photograph well, I think I always have a funny look on my face.

nitecheese · September 2012

NWR: Random acts of violence, ghosts. Yes, ghosts. FI and I have been watching too many paranormal-based reality shows. Now, when I wake up in the middle of the night, I'm scared to walk to the bathroom. Sheesh, I'm a wuss.

WR: That I will get pregnant before the wedding. (This is my new Wedding Related Fear of the Day). I'll check back in tomorrow to see if it has changed. That we somehow missed something really important on our budget.

Iryshcreem · September 2012

NWR - Needles. Its a scene if I have to get blood taken. I had my appendix taken out in 5th grade and I"m pretty sure that's where it all started. I generally need at least one other person besides the blood taker or needle injector to hold me down. I've refused novacaine at the dentist. Thank god I've only had 2 cavities. My dentist told me I need to seek psychological help for this haha.

WR - My pictures are going to come out horrible.

jessiflower · September 2012

NWR: something tragic happening and turning my whole life upside down...I know...nothing that can be done about this other than stop worrying about it.......

WR: no one will dance at the reception

goatlady12 · September 2012

NWR - I'm terrified of people on stilts. I don't know why, just am.

WR - I have a lot. Probably the most irrational one is that my sister's "fiance" is going to break out of prison and come to my wedding. He's in prison for robbing people's homes. When my sister started dating him, I pulled his criminal record and he had 22 felonies for burglary and was on probation. He violated his probation to rob more people. Needless to say I was super happy when he went to prison. That sister isn't in my WP because she tends to create a ton of drama.

catwine · September 2012

WR: getting my period that day...it's been fairly consistent over the past few years but has recently changed from the middle of the month to the end. and my weding is on oct 28...really hoping that doesn't happen!!

NWR: there's too much to list. I think ET/Alien movies in general are a pretty irrational fear.

lv2011 · September 2012

NWR: spiders, and clowns

WR: that everything will fall apart on the wedding day, all my diy's will be crap, dress won't fit, people won't show up, music is terrible, pictures are horrible, etc., etc., etc. .

mmmendi · September 2012

NWR: FI won't find a job

and that I will keep gaining weight

WR: That FI will be late!

[Deleted User] · September 2012

WR: My hair will look awful, my dress won't fit
NWR: FI or I will get in bad accident and die or something

LDubHawksFan · September 2012

NWR: Someone breaking into our house & killing me.....sometimes I watch too many of those detective shows!

WR: Someone in my family embarrassing me and our pictures not turning out. I should probably add not tripping on my super long walk down the aisle!

ccarrion77 · September 2012

WR: that people won't have as much fun/dance as much as at previous family weddings. My family is big into dancing and such as it would really be sad if they didn't at our wedding. NWR: spiders and heights. I was bitten by a brown recluse as a kid and it was rather traumatic.

Oh gosh that is terrible! I hate spiders too. Last night I went black widow killing around the perimeter of our house and I couldn't sleep well at all! I kept waking up in the middle of the night thinking things were crawling all over me!

bbair89 · September 2012

NWR: vomiting, which incidentally leads itself to...

WR: having a stomach bug for the wedding/honeymoon.
My other WR fears are totally rational and include fainting in my dress and drama drama from certain people...

snuff9861 · September 2012

NWR: Clowns and anything with more than four legs... WR: That people won't have fun at the reception. I'm not really a dancing person but a lot of friends and family are so we incorporated that for them. And also that pictures won't turn out well.

mana8503 · September 2012

NWR - add me to the spiders list

WR - well HM... idk why but I have a fear of dying on my HM now

KittennDave · September 2012

NWR: Our kitten getting out of the house and getting lost, anything happening to my parents before the wedding since my last remaining grandparent died this past April.

WR: Being so ill the morning of the wedding from all the stress that I won't be able to actually get up and go to the wedding. Also the one of my bridesmaids will somehow not arrive in town for the wedding (she's flying in from out of the country).

mbuckley85 · September 2012

NWR: Not being able to get pregnant when the time comes. I have no reason to think I'll have an issue with this but its something that scares me a lot. I was actually on a birth control pill that made the fear 100x worse.

WR: That I'll forget something important...like really important.

Posted by mbuckley85[/QUOTE]

this is so me!!! i dont know why either, but i love kids and cant wait to be a mom but for some reason i have this crazy fear that i wont be able to have kids!!!

WR: people not dancing/ having fun! looking bad in the pictures etc etc...

amandaorgan · September 2012

WR: That the bills won't get paid and my vendors won't show. I am very fortunate that my mom and FI's mom are pretty much paying for the entire wedding - very very gracious. BUT getting FI's mom to actually write the checks has been like pulling teeth and I have the paranoid feeling that when the time comes (like now) to start paying vendors she will take back her offer :-\ hopefully that is an irrational fear...

NWR: The I am never really going to make anything of myself. I have a huge fear of failure and I really need to stop comparing myself to my friends/family and start giving myself some credit.

Oh, and I have a weird fear of stepping off of curbs or on uneven pavements and breaking my ankle. I think about that a lot lol. Random.

kimm260 · September 2012

NWR: I am afraid of someone breaking into our house at night, I get nervous when my family doesn't answer their phone because it must mean they have died or were in a car accident or are in the hospital. I am also afraid of bats and people in costume suits (like mascots or where you cannot see what they look like)

WR : I am afraid that people wont come or they will forget to come.

xxjen015 · September 2012

WR: My brother not properly DJing!!

NWR: The underside of boats. Anything man-made in the water pretty much. Pipes, concrete, sunken ships, submarines. It's called submechanophobia! (I just learned that this summer) I get made fun of for it all the time, but I stutter and shake and freeze up when I see any of this stuff!

ivedonethisb4 · September 2012

WR: I feel these are pretty rational..but I'm scared even after alterations my dress won't fit...I'm also afraid everything will go wrong. NWR: I too am afraid I won't be able to have children. I feel that's a rational fear as well as it took my sister like 8 years WITH fertility treatments and my cousin only has one working ovary and with treatment hasn't been able to get pregnant having tried with several husbands. She's been married 4 times. My wedding will be the first she's been in where she isn't the bride haha. Fi and I went 3 years without using protection and I never got pregnant so its definately something I worry about because FI and I both really want kids.

magpie87 · September 2012

WR: starting my period the day of the wedding. I have a very irregular cycle, so I can never really predict when "Mother Nature" will strike, haha. NWR: not being able to get pregnant when we start TTC. That ties in with my irregular cycle. I was also informed that I may have PCOS, so that'll increase the difficulty in getting pregnant. Also, spiders and centipedes and really any insect that has more than 6 legs besides pill bugs. They give me the creeps!

violakat03 · September 2012

WR: Running out of money and not being able to get something major ... like chairs. Not finding an officiant. Falling on my tush walking down the aisle.

NWR: Spiders. And like a PP, I have an abolutely debilitating fear of needles. To the point I will not do anything medical that involves one because it will trigger a panic attack. I had to have a major cavity filled two months ago and they had to use the happy gas to knock me out enough that I could handle the shot of novacaine. I was hospitalized several years ago for a major panic attack and the nurse tried 3 times to get an IV in my arm. After the third, I physically shoved him away and wouldn't let him or anyone else near me. I've always hated needles, but the absolute overriding fear started after that episode.
