My wedding is a week away and I’m already nervous so I’m guessing I will be a wreck that morning… (It’s not the idea of getting married, it’s being in front of all those people!)…any tips would be great!
**without taking drugs lol… I don’t want to be nervous, but I don’t want to be loopy either
no, it’s not about doubts, its fear of being in front of people, I am not the center of attention type person…

Just remember that no one will be judging you. All the people at your wedding are friends and family of you and your fiance. They are there to support you and cheer you on! Congrats on your wedding
Remember to EAT! Don’t be so nervous that you don’t eat anything, otherwise you might pass out. Don’t drink alcohol to “relax” you. Or take any medication. Yes, that would make you relaxed, but you don’t want your wedding day to pass by in a medicated blur. Just let a few close people know that you are nervous and if you start feeling panicky, take a couple minutes alone.
i felt the same theres nothing to do just try to relax and try to take things easy. Goodluck
First congratulations on your wedding and don’t think about all those people just think it is just you and your husband and once it i dos is over and you go to the after party you will be fine so just relax you will do fine just walk slowly and carefully
It’s really hard to say because different things work for different people! I would suggest taking a few minutes to meditate quietly by yourself; work on your breathing and keep your eyes closed and your mind quiet. Try to push everything out of your mind. Before you walk down the aisle, breath deeply and slowly in through your nose and out through your mouth. It’ll slow your heart down and calm your nerves.
Keep hydrated and eat something! Even if your stomach is doing flips, try to get something in there. Drink some tea with a bit of milk in it and maybe some crackers or a bit of toast. My friend refused to eat before her wedding because she was so nervous and ended up passing out at the alter because of the nerves and the fact that she hadn’t eaten anything all day.
Also, remember to laugh! If anything goes not according to plan, laugh about it! It’s not the end of the world! My friend’s husband couldn’t get through the vows without having to ask the officient to repeat every line that he was supposed to say! (The groom kept saying, “what? can you say that again? I forget the line.”) Luckily, my friend laughed about it when I thought she would for sure get all upset. Another friend just got married and my bf was the best man. He couldn’t get the rings out of his pocket and it literally took him two minutes to get them out! Luckily the bride was standing up there laughing and didn’t let it bother her. You’ll feel a lot more at ease if you just let things slide off your back!
Good luck! You’ll do great!
Take deep breaths regularly. Sip some chamomile tea, maybe…starting now. Try to focus on the task at hand instead of the big picture. You will get through it and probably say to yourself “That wasn’t so bad after all!”
Best of luck and congratulations!
First BREATHE!
It’s okay to be nervous, just remember that when you’re in front of all those people, so is your groom. When I got married, I was so focused on my husband to be, that I forgot about all those other people watching us get married. In the morning you’ll be so busy getting ready that the last thing you’ll want to think about is your guests. Just remember to eat something, and get a good night sleep the night before.
All of your guests aren’t there to judge you. They’re there to celebrate your marriage with you! Just keep smiling and take each moment in as much as you can. Good luck and congrats!
Maybe take a nice warm/hot bubble bath with lavendar and chamomile to calm your nerves, take deep breaths, maybe have a mimosa or two but be sure to have a nice breakfast. Also think that you are going to be around people you love and trust and don’t be in fear and doubt. This is a happy day for you so think positively. Be sure to get a good nights rest also. My wedding is in two months, congrats!
hit up your family members. i am sure some of them have some valium or xanax that you could pop!
If you are nervous to be in front of all those people, realize, they are there to share in your happiness. If you are still freaked out, imagine everyone in their UNDERWEAR! It works for stage fright.
Just take a few deep breaths and find something to keep your mind occupied before the wedding. Have bridesmaids and family tell you jokes or just talk to you about anything other than the wedding. Buy a puzzle book and do some puzzles, or read a book, color, anything that will keep you interested while you wait.
Up beat music. Nothing sappy or sad.
-Get some peppermint oil.
-Sit down in a quiet place, or sit down and ask that no one to speak to you for a few minutes
-Put a dab of oil on your 2 index finger
-Close your eyes
-Rub the oil on you temples in a circular motion
-Clear your mind
-Take deep breaths
-In threw the nose
-Out with you mouth
-And try to smile your body will feel the possitive energy from your face and relax.
Do this for at least 5 minutes.
It’s proven to relax the body and mind.
Good luck!
On Congrats on the wedding!
Borrow a Xanax from someone!!!! They calm your nerves in 30 minutes!
Have one glass of wine before hand.
I was in the same position as you. I was a wreck the two weeks before the wedding (there was so much to get done!) and I was certain I’d be a mess that day. But, with some help from family and friends, I got all the last minute stuff done and by the day before, I had nothing left to do. The night before we had a little deck party at my parents which really helped relax me. We played cards, went swimming and had a little to drink (not too much, no one needs a hangover on their wedding day). Then my bridesmaids and I got into our jammies and watched a silly movie! It was like being 13 again and having a slumber party! By the time I woke up the day of the wedding I felt relaxed and excited. I sat on the deck and drank some coffee with my family. I did basically nothing until I had to start getting ready.
The best advice I can give you is anything you think you have to do that day, have someone else do it. The only thing you should worry about is relaxing, eating, getting your hair and makeup done and putting on your dress. That’s it. Don’t plan on running errands or any other last minute stuff. Just relax because once the wedding starts it’s going to go by in a blur!
Good luck, congratulations and remember to enjoy the day!
Just try and take some time for yourself. whether it be a relaxing bath or some quiet time before the wedding make it a you time. i was so nervous when i got married and the photographer noticed and she got me away from everyone else and let me have some me time and i calmed down and wasnt ready for the rubber room when it came time to walk down the aisle. so make sure u get some u time and take a nice deep breath and enjoy your wedding day.
Eat a couple of bananas for breakfast and as an after dinner snack the night before. Bananas have natural beta blockers in them and they naturally calm your nerves. Its a trick I used to use when I was in high school and college if I had a music audition or performance. I have terrible stage fright and this always helped. A teacher of mine told me about it. Don’t eat too many though, or you might get an upset tummy! All the other suggestions about relatation were pretty good as well. Maybe try this in combination with a nice hot bath and some essential oils and relating music. Better yet, get a massage!
Take a shot of Patron—no chaser. No but seriously, think of it this way: If you know he’s the only one for you and you’re ready and willing to dedicate the rest of your life to him, there’s no reason to be nervous reguardless of how many people are there. Usually people are only nervous if they have doubts, and if you don’t have any, don’t worry about it. It’s your day, so just have fun.
That patron might come in handy though
