How long before the wedding did you get nervous?!

Joey, on March 5, 2018 at 08:53 Posted in Before the wedding 0 19

I want to ask you about your wedding planning timeline - I'm curious to know how long before the wedding you crossed various planning tasks off your to-do list, or when you're planning to have the tasks finished. So play along to have some fun comparing timelines, while sharing your advice with those who are still building their own!

Was there a point in your planning where the reality hit you and you started to get nervous? Lots of people get jitters before their wedding day, when did you feel those wedding nerves? Did you have them all throughout your planning, or did they only hit you just before your wedding day?

    Nothing was to be nervous about the wedding since the planning was in full force and happening throughout the time.

    Not really cold feet or major nerves. The excitement/nervousness kind of comes and goes for both of us. We're more excited, and super excited to get away on the honeymoon.

    I haven't really got nervous yet. I've had little spirts of being nervous about dancing and worried about feeling so nervous and excited that I'll be sick the morning of the wedding and won't be able to eat.

    I'm waiting for the nerves to kick in any time now... I'm about 6 months away from the big day and I suffer from anxiety so it should be interesting to see how this plays out... lol

    I am not nervous at all! We have been sharing life as common law partners for a few years now, and the only difference is the big big party!

    However when he officially proposed, I spent the first two weeks trying to figure out the budget, which if I recall correctly had me a little frustrated and worried. After that, it’s all a chronological matter, so I’m pretty chill Smiley smile

    I’m not nervous at all. We’ve lived together for 4.5 years, been together for 8, so this just feels natural. If anything I might be nervous about hosting an event that large.

    No nerves yet! I’m a pretty calm person though so I don’t expect to feel nervous

    I'm not like CRAZY nervous.. I'm not worried about how the day of goes, or being center of attention.. it will all be fine.

    But I've been nervous since we got engaged about 'What if things go south.'. 'What if we stop loving each other.'

    I think its just a really sad hold over from my parents HORRIBLE divorce and sort of lacking the 'unconditional love' thing growing up.

    I had bouts of nerves throughout the process but I had lots of them the day of and they went away almost as soon as it was go time.

    I’ve been nervous since we booked the venues 11 months ago. So now, only 5 months out from the wedding, nervous/excited/anxious/frantic is a pretty accurate description of me. Haha

    Just the idea of being in front of our family/friends is making me nervous. We both don't like being the centre of attention, but I'm an only-child so eloping was not an option. We compromised by having a small-ish wedding of about 100 people. It's still making me nervous - my palms are sweaty just writing about it.

    I don't mind being the centre of attention, and I haven't had any nervousness yet! Will probably be nervous closer to the date.

    I've been off and on nervous throughout all of the planning but it didn't really hit me until I went for my first dress fitting and our menu tasting. Thats when reality set in. I hate being the centre of attention so it was really difficult to stay calm.
