Feeling nervous...

Hey y’all,

So we are officially three weeks out, which I was made aware of last night.. oops! I’ve been counting down by days, not weeks, so when my dad said three weeks last night, my heart sunk. Not necessarily in a bad way, but last night I couldn’t sleep. We’ve been engaged for almost two years, so this is something I’ve been planning and putting a ton of thought into for a very long time. I’m mostly nervous about being up there in front of everyone (my anxiety isn’t making this any easier). Any thought, tips? I’ve got so much to do still and I thought I’d be relaxing the last couple of weeks before..

I feel like the last couple of weeks is the time that you are running around making sure that everything is in order. But definitely try to relax a few days before you your body isn't exhausted. I'm not sure if you drink alcohol or not, but my husband and I both took a few shots before the ceremony and it definitely helped us both lol. Congratulations on being 3 weeks out, it'll be here before you know it! Goodluck!

If you TRY to relax, you’ll be thinking about it so much that it will have a counter effect. So just take a shot about 30 mins before ceremony.

I will say I wasn't nervous until right before I walked down the aisle. I've never had stage fright, but I'm also the kind of person that doesn't enjoy being sung HBD to, opening gifts with everyone staring at me, etc. So I got SUPER overwhelmed right before walking down the aisle. The only thing that helped was staring at my husband to be and focusing only on him and ignoring everyone else. So my advice is to focus on the amazing man you're so excited to marry! You can really trick yourself into not even "seeing" everyone else.

Totally normal to feel anxious leading up to your big day.
you can make your ceremony short, that way you aren't up there for long

The last 1-2 weeks before my wedding was actually the most calm for me. I made myself a checklist and went over it about 2 weeks out. I checked in with all of my vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. Once everything was checked off, I sat back and relaxed. So my advice... make a checklist and go over it in about a week or so. And definitely check in with every single vendor.
As far as being nervous about being in front of people... you honestly won't even notice them lol. During our entire ceremony, I feel like the only people I noticed were my wife and our officiant. You will have complete tunnel vision. So try not to stress about that!
