I Kinda Forgot About This...

With a little under 7 weeks to go, I remembered I have issues with being the center of attention. And while I've been DREADING my bridal showers, it never occurred to me that my wedding day is AN ENTIRE DAY FULL OF ATTENTION DIRECTED AT ME AND MY FIANCE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY. Holy crap.

Anybody else just figure this out? I'm a moron. Oh my gosh.
Don't get me wrong, I can be the center of attention in a small group. But oh my goodness. Our RSVPs are coming back. There are definitely going to be over 100 people there. Potentially 250.
I guess I more or less have a problem with sincerity in a large group. If that makes sense? Like I had a senior art show and was supposed to speak about how my art was influenced and my journey of how I got there... and I accidentally turned it into a 15 minute stand up set. (I killed it, got a ton of laughs, and got an A anyway. But that's kinda besides the point.)
I'm just super glad we chose to do traditional vows because I'd look like a real jerk if I suddenly turned my vows into jokes.
Anybody got any tips for the girl who forgot weddings were about the bride and groom? And not about the super fun party we've been planning?
If you need me, I'll be over here with my biotin singing to my hair and trying not to freak out.

I can only vouch for myself but I will tell you that once you start walking down that aisle, there will only be 1 person you will see. Everyone else will vanish and you won't even know they're there until you are walking out. It is easy to say don't stress but seriously, don't stress lol.

When I got married I did get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of people and attention there were. So I said my formalities and made my rounds of hellos and thank yous and then later on I was able to socialize with the people I was comfortable with. So I think so long as you keep it short and sweet with people and just make your rounds and later on find your comfort and have fun with your friends, it should be fine.

I gotta say I'm an extroverted introvert. I feel you really i do. I'm nervous as hell. Buuuut it'll be fine I did cut the first dance though we'll just be cute and come in all happy but no whole dance. Lil stuff like that can put you at ease.

I totally understand. I don't like being the center of attention either😱
I'm just going to focus on my fiancee, and let the rest go. I feel like the day will pass in a blur of well wishes and happiness.

The unknown is always the worst for me. Just remember, that everyone is there because they love the two of you, and want to share your joy.
There will be no judgement. You can do this!❤I have complete faith in you!
