All the attention

Jade, on October 5, 2019 at 11:11 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 10
I was trying to pick all the dance songs and I realized I honestly do not want to do a father daughter dance or first dance. For wherever reason it just makes me feel incredible uncomfortable and awkward lol. But I know that would be a huge issue so I just have to suck that up haha. I’m not a super shy person and I did all star cheerleading and dance growing up so I was constantly performing on a stage, so I’m kind of confused on why it makes me so nervous.

Is anyone else very nervous to be the center of attention for their wedding? What else is making people nervous about their wedding day?

    Yes, I hate being the center of attention. I plan to opt out of any dances.

    I'm okay with attention, but having everyone's eyes on me still make me nervous. It's totally fine to skip dances if you're more comfortable not doing it!

    We are only doing first dance. No father/daughter etc.. super simple. People get to watch a dance but it is not overkill or too much attention on us

    If you still want to do a father daughter dance you could do it at the same time as the mother and son dance

    I am super anxious about being the center of attention and how I'll look. In my every day life I wear hoodies, don't wear make up, and put my hair in a messy and frizzy bun. I do public speaking often for my job, but I am still worried about everyone staring at me and I'm hoping everything looks good. I'm also worried my dress won't zip, or if I sit down and pop the zipper.

    I didn't think I'd be but when I walked down the aisle I got so nervous I think it's because at that moment that's when I realized omg all eyes are on me. But then you just picture and focus on your groom and it's as if no one else is around sometimes.

    I don't really like it either but I knew i wanted a dance with my dad so we just cut the song short. It was like maybe 2 minutes-ishh which went by sooo fast.

    This has been a tough topic for me because I have an absent father. My brother and I are going to dance and it’ll be supper funny but, it still sucks it’s not dad. Anyway, I’m most nervous about nothing going right the day of lol. So, I try and not to think about it.

    Try and make the dance as comfortable for you and dad. For instance, my brother and I aren’t doing this emotional, slow song dance. We’re going to dance to our childhood, favorite party song and I know I’ll be in the moment of joy and laughter with him that I won’t see anyone else. Maybe you can do something that will have you live in the moment with dad and not worrying about others. You’ll already be the center of attention because well, it’s your wedding day lol. So, embrace it. For one day, you can rule the whole world and no one can say anything to you lol. It’s like a pregnant woman with food cravings. Give her the food. Lol. But, you can always skip it or even have just 30 seconds and it fade out lol.

    What's making me nervous is my fiance and I as well as my dad and I are choreographing two separate dances and they're quite long. So I'm worried my ballgown will get in the way of me dancing, more or less the 2 foot train behind me
