Question

anyways..any advice would be helpful!

Answer 1

I know how you feel - I am getting married Saturday too - YEAH!!!!!!!!! We were given a great piece of advice I will pass on to you. Take 5 minutes during the day to sneak away with your new spouse and just do a checking with each other, maybe each tell a humorous story (ex. did you see Aunt Phyllis when she came throught the receiving line, she had toilet paper hanging out of her skirt, etc...). And of course, HAVE FUN!!, dance a lot, and enjoy the day!! If there are glitches, you are likely the only one who will notice! Best wishes!!!

Answer 2

Don't worry about the guests.  You know in the movies when the camera focuses on something & the rest goes kind of fuzzy--out of focus--so you don't really see everything clearly.

That's the way it'll be;  just you, your beloved & the minister.  One reason why it's important to choose your officiant carefully.

Make sure you put something is your stomach that morning, even if you don't feel like it.  Limit your caffeine intake.

Take one last pee before finalizing getting dressed.

When you're all ready send everyone out of the room.  Take a few moments to yourself to realize what is about to take place; marry the man whom you love and who loves you in return.

Take a look at the beautiful image looking back at you from the mirror.  Deep breath & go.  You will walk the aisle with  confidence.

Answer 3

I went through this a month ago.  I got nervous about my day every time I watched a wedding on a tv show.  When the day came, I was surprised how calm I was.  When I was on the alter with my soon-to-be, I did not notice a single other person.  It was him and I.  Every once in awhile I would squeeze his hand or slip in an inside joke, just to keep us relaxed.  You will be amazed how, as one other person said, the people in attendance seem blurry, all you notice is the person at your side.  

And on a side note, I was worried about being the center of attention that day, but after looking at pictures from my photographer, the people at the tables during our dances were not just focused on us the whole time; they get bored just watching two people spin around the dance floor (luckily :) )

Good luck on Saturday, and enjoy every moment...the time flashes by you !

Answer 4

Just keep your focus on the person you are going have for your life ....... Thats the important thing. Anyway, CONGRATS !!!!!!!!

Answer 5

congradulations and be okay cause everything is gonna be fine

have fun

Answer 6

Don't lock your knees.  You might pass out.

Answer 7

Just remember what that day is for.... to marry the man you love. That seems to help me when I start feeling overwhelmed. If at all possible just take a few hours to yourself... maybe get a manicure &/or pedicure to relax and take it all in.

Good Luck and congratulations.

Answer 8

You might schedule one or two spa treatments for yourself the day before (Friday) such as a massage (I'm not sure if the facial would mess with your skin), to help you to calm and unwind and get some wonderful relaxation in before your wedding!  I'm also thinking of taking a walk by myself on the beach (during the day for safety) just to have time to reflect before I'm surrounded by people.  By the way, even though 300 people is a lot, I've heard most brides say that one of the most amazing experiences about their wedding was being surrounded and enveloped in love by all the people in the world who loved and cared about them, all on the same day, and that's just the kind of warm-and-fuzzy stuff you can start imagining when you feel nervous!  Can you imagine, 300 people there to celebrate YOUR day and your love with your future husband, from all areas of your life, all there at once?  Pretty amazing!

Answer 9

Nope, no advice except to enjoy your special day and make sure you are a little late :)

Answer 10

don't think about all the people, think about your fiance and how you are going to have the best day of your life.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Answer 11

Oh, just relax.  You won't even notice the people because your eyes will be on your soon to be husband as you say your vows.  Then after you walk out of the church, the people leave, and you go back for pictures.  So then you won't have to face the people until you go for the reception, and by then you'll just be all smiles and happy.  Best wishes!

Answer 12

Congratulations!

Remember to breathe =]

A tip for both of you: don't lock your knees or you'll pass out. Keep them slightly bent.

As you walk down the aisle, keep your eyes on his, and your thoughts on the reasons why you love him.

As you say your vows, close out the crowd by focusing solely on him. In that moment, there will only be you and him.

Answer 13

Congratulations mate, All you have to remember is that everyone there will be people that you know, so this should be easier than walking into a room full of strangers, secondly, write down everything that you will need to remember to do on the day, so that u don't worry about forgetting to do or say anything on your big day.  Thirdly and finally, ENJOY!!!! Ur going to be the star.  Cheers n all the best in married life.

Answer 14

omg ur gettin married this saturday??? so am i, and im so nervous and anxious but happy and excited, im scared and its makin me so stressful. i wish i could give u advice all i can do is keep telling myself that no matter what, im gonna be happy that day and i won't stress nothin because regardless of everythin im still going to say "i do" and thats most important. things never go according to plan so you shouldn't stress whats out of your control. good luck and congratz!

Answer 15

Congratulations!

Some advice: Dont be like that person on Australias Funniest Home Videos,  this lady was getting married and forgot to get dressed after she hopped out of the shower!

you'll be fine.

Answer 16

Ah, don't be nervous about the crowd.  These people are your friends and family.  They are happy for you and want to share your special moment.  You're not putting on a performance, you're getting married!  The day is all about you!   Congratulations!

Answer 17

Ok...do u remember the moment from "27 Dresses" when they talk about the look on the groom's face when the bride walks down the aisle?  You just think about that!  When those doors open, don't look at the people, look at the love of your life!  Enjoy the time with him, mentally take a picture of that moment!  Pay attention to your ceremony and what you are saying and doing, and you won't even remember the people!  And when the officant turns ya'll around to intoduce the new husband and wife, grab his butt!  Again, you will forget all about the people AND nobody will see it except those on the stage and they will laugh about it forever!!

Good luck!
