My wedding is tomorrow!

Gen, on June 1, 2019 at 5:57 AM Posted in Planning 0 4
It’s 5:45am and of course I can’t sleep so I just thought I’d check in! The countdown on the app is no longer in days, just hours 😱 We had such a lovely day yesterday... some of my relatives are in town and FH’s grandparents are too so we all met up for dinner, and this was actually the first time anyone from my and FH’s family met! Then later on we met up with FH’s best man and my MOH (who had just flown in that day) and a couple other friends.

FH and i were saying on the car ride home that it’s weird how normal and natural this all feels. Like I said, no one from our families has ever met before, but we were just sitting at dinner talking to both my uncle and his grandpa and it all felt so natural, and then every once in a while I’d start actually thinking about it and be like “wait, my worlds are completely combining right now! And wait...... it’s our wedding weekend!” Lol. We were laughing about that last night because honestly it just feels so unreal that we are actually in our wedding weekend RIGHT NOW that we keep just enjoying the company we’re with, not actually thinking about the fact that this is actually happening, and then we keep suddenly remembering that over and over again 😂 It’s honestly such an amazing feeling. I love that it all feels so natural.

The only thing(s) I’m struggling with right now are sleep, and anxiety. I’ve been having so much trouble sleeping the past week or so, and I was so completely exhausted yesterday. Really hoping I’ll fall back asleep soon and not feel the same way the rest of today :/ Also struggling because I think I’ve had an anxiety disorder for so long that my body can no longer tell the difference between anxious-stressed and anxious-excited, even when my brain knows the difference. I kept feeling nauseous and having trouble breathing and bordering on panic attacks but I’m honestly not consciously stressed at all, just excited, and I think my body is having trouble recognizing that? Like “oh this feels anxious, let’s react to that!” It’s really frustrating and I wish I could just feel excited without my body sending itself into a panic 🙄

Despite that though, it’s been a really amazing weekend so far and I just wanted to check in with you all while I had the chance, because I likely won’t until after the wedding now!!! Completely crazy. I hope everyone else getting married this weekend is doing well!

    I couldn’t sleep the night before either or use the restroom. I was overly excited. It caught up with me at the end of the night because I crashed extremely hard on the ride home. Congratulations on your wedding day!!!!!

    My wedding is today and I barely slept last night. My advice is that if you normally drink coffee, skip it today 😁 Also, I have had the same issue of feeling calm but having physical symptoms of anxiety (or maybe my seasonal allergies are just getting bad 😅).

    I got my nails done yesterday and a gem already fell off so I'm hoping that's all of my bad luck 🤞 It's going to thunderstorm all day today, but beautiful weather forecast for tomorrow. I hope wherever you live will have the same sunny weather! Good luck!
