Anxiety related — worried about being sick

I got a cold the day before the wedding and felt worse on the actual day. But my excitement and adrenaline made it so I didn't even really notice. It was a bit of a bummer though because I didn't get to enjoy my open bar and I barely finished my champagne. But it was still an amazing day and I felt so happy. Even with the cold it was one of the best days of my life!

This is literally what causes me most anxiety about the wedding hahah. I totally get you! I’m picking my date based on when I haven’t been sick in past years. Hopefully it works.. but I have a feeling the adrenaline of the day would be enough to feel okay even if we got sick.. I’ll also be praying about it for sure. I’ll pray for you too, if you’d like!

My DH got sick two days before our wedding, rallied like a champ, and spend our 1st honeymoon day sleeping in bed! But... we stressed ourselves out weeks leading up to our wedding, had family houseguests for a week with a lot of late nights & alcohol, and just pushed ourselves too much. A massage is brilliant! Consider cutting out alcohol a week or two before, and get plenty of sleep & you should be fine! 😘

In the couple of weeks before I plan on taking lots of Emergen-C and/or Airborne (whichever I have or that has better coupons lol) and being extra crazy about washing my hands, and I already wash them way more than a lot of people. I am going to try to nag FH to do the same because I swear he always gets sick at the most inopportune times and I will send him to one of those places that gives you an IV bag of fluids with vitamins and stuff to boost your immune system so you get better practically overnight if he gets sick because I am not dealing with sniffles all honeymoon lol. The man can't breathe through his mouth, so he sniffles every 2 seconds so I usually just buy him lots of gatorade and cold meds and find a reason to be home as little as possible when he's sick because I hate the sniffle sound, I tell him to blow his nose but he says it's just inflammation. It grosses me out so bad and it is like nails on a chalkboard at the same time.

Hi Sarah! I’m sorry to hear this! Anxiety jitters before your wedding is completely normal. I would recommend breathing/meditation exercises, along with getting a lot af rest. Keep your mind calm by eliminating thoughts of what could go wrong, and just remain positive by hoping for the best! Don’t worry too much, as this will ignite increased anxiousness. Everything will be okay! Hang in there!

I always end up getting sick when I'm more stressed out. Find some ways to relax, maybe meditate or read a book whatever works for you for a little bit each day and take a break from wedding stuff.

Also, my grandma swears by Emergen-C. Take it in the week leading up and maybe it will help?
I'm super worried about my allergies. They're always worse in September for me, so I plan on being prepared and taking allergy medicine right when I wake up. Maybe you could make sure you have a supply of Dayquil and cough drops or tylenol for the day of in case? (Or whatever your preferred brand of cold medicine is, obviously)

I've worried about this too. I was AWFULLY sick for my sisters wedding where I was the MOH. Somehow I had enough adrenaline the day of to be able to walk down the aisle and stand by her side for the whole ceremony. I even gave my speech and danced a little at the reception.

One of my best friends - her now husband had some sort of stomach bug during their wedding. I had no idea until she told me about it afterwards.

What I am saying is - even if you do get sick - it will be ok!!

Thank you everyone I appreciate all this positive feedback. I’ll take all the prayers thoughts and good vibes I can get!

Hi Sarah! My fiancé and I take this amazing stuff called "Wellness Formula". Depending on which form you get it in (capsules or tablets), you take 3-6 of these every 3-4 hours when you're starting to feel any signs of illness. I am someone who easily gets sick and since he has introduced this stuff to me, my life has changed. You can buy it almost anywhere, vitamin shops, health food stores, Amazon, etc. We plan on taking a dose the day before our wedding - just in case!

Magic Wellness Formula!

Carry you own pen. dont use the ones at stores to sign reciepts

Well, I suppose that you will find my piece of advice quite useful for yourself. One of my three brothers works in a supplement shop. He was the first one to advise me to try a natural brain-booster dietary supplement in order to maintain a sober state of mind 24/7. Personally, I found it quite useful for myself during, let alone it helped me to go through the wedding party that I planned.
