Wedding nightmare

Oh man, that sounds so stressful! I had a wedding nightmare, too!! I was walking down the aisle, and no one was sitting down or paying attention, they were just talking amongst themselves. My fiance was standing at the end with his arms crossed, and the officiant wasn't there! People were just hanging out! I was yelling, saying "hello, the wedding is starting, I'm walking down the aisle!". No one listened. Ughh it was so annoying !! Glad it was just a dream!!!

That sounds intense! Wedding nightmares really seem to show what you're worried about. I'm glad it was just a dream!

I had one so vivid that when I woke up it was December (wedding month). I dreamed that I took a nap after the ceremony (nowhere near the reception haha) and missed the whole night! Guests were mad at me for bad music, no food, etc. and left. I was so freaked out!!

Oh goodness, that sounds like an intense dream! It sounds like you know where all of it is coming from which is good. If I may add some suggestions to maybe help you and possibly ease the mind? I would suggest on your RSVP cards put ____ out 2 or something like that so then you know how many people there are and they cant bring uninvited people. Also if you are having an adults-only reception make sure to put that somewhere in the invitation like the information card or something like that. As for the timing, talk with your musicians or DJ and make sure the person marrying you guys knows that certain parts you want to make sure you have enough time. Definitely go over your timeline with all vendors! As for the alcohol, do you have a bartender? If so make sure to tell them DO NOT serve the alcohol until cocktail hour or when you arrive at the reception or whenever you prefer. If you don't, have someone put it in a location away from the ceremony then it can be tapped into once the reception starts or cocktail hour. Do you have a coordinator? If so tell them that certain people are not allowed to be there if they show up they would be thrown out. If you don't maybe hire some security? With your fear of not having all the vendors showing up or not on time, I would either have the coordinator of the venue (if you have one) or mother (someone who is not part of the BP) or yourself call all the vendors the day before and confirm the time they will be arriving. At least it was a dream but they stem from our fears of something so being prepared is a good idea and I hope that those little things will help the fears. I hope you have better dreams in the future!
