Wedding My nerves are driving me crazy. Can you give me reassurance?

[luckystar112]

UGH. We leave for Jamaica on Monday morning, and we''ll be married on Wednesday.
My stomach has been in the HUGEST knot for the last three days! I can barely eat. I''ve been going to bed at like 2 in the morning and then waking up at 6AM. I feel like a nervous mess!

I also had a VERY weird dream last night where I was at the resort, but instead of FI being with me it was my psycho ex. We slept in seperate beds and he pretty much ignored me the whole time. Later I realized that I had forgotten my dress...and FI!
Other stuff happened too...it was weird. I''m ABSOLUTELY not harboring any feelings for my ex, so it was weird to see him in a dream.

Then today I was reading Perez and I got to a post that was titled "DON''T VISIT JAMAICA!"
LOL I hate when I feel like I''m being given "signs"!

Why am I so darn superstitious????? Now I''m afraid something really bad is going to happen there....or on the way there...

Luckily for me I''m weird in that I think I''ve jinxed the bad thing from happening by telling someone. But not really, because you always hear weird coincidences that happen to people before something bad happens.

Okay, you all probably think I''m a tad nutso by now...so I''ll end it here.
But, AH! My Nerves!!

Oh Yikes. I know what its like to be going slowly insane with stress.

A bath, some chocolate, a glass of wine and a good book help me.

So does squacking like a crazed chicken when no one else is around. DEEP BREATHS HONEY.

It''s going to be okay. And you''ll be sitting in that chair chopping your hair off on Thursday before you know it. ((HUGS)).

Lucky Star,

I feel your pain. I''m also getting married on the 25th. We leave Tuesday. Hang in there.

Trust me, I know how you''re feeling right now! We are leaving for Mexico on Tuesday and getting married on Friday. I didn''t really think I was that nervous, but I''m totally channelling all of my nervous energy towards my dog. We will be gone for 10 days and I am going completely nuts worrying about her already. I''ve also been making lots of Starbucks runs which seem to be getting me through...

Congrats and have fun in Jamaica!

AWww! Lucky! I think that''s so sweet that your stomach is all in knots. Mine wasn''t and I kind of feel like I missed out on something.

Hon, it''s going to be GREAT! You''ll have a wonderful time and then you''ll be married to a wonderful man.

Aw, I do know exactly how you feel! I got married on a Sat, and I had stopped eating the Wed before, felt sick all the time. I felt better after getting a mani/pedi at the Aveda spa on Friday because the girl was so sweet. How about getting a massage or something? A fast walk helped also (or any exercise).

At rehearsal I told my BM's DH that I felt sick and then I started crying on him (see, I was nutso!). He said you get married at 1:30 tomorrow....I guarantee by 2:15 you will feel all better. I told him not possible because I still have to worry about the reception and everything else going smoothly. But the weird thing was that her DH walked through the receiving line, pointed to his watch and it was exactly 2:15 and I DID feel completely better right then. So, try to relax however you can and remember it will only be stressful for a short while longer. I thought it helped just simply telling people how stressed I was and getting a little reassurance.
I felt superstitious about our honeymoon also, just had a bad feeling about it, but we just got back--had a wonderful time with no worries. (Usually I have a weird 6th sense about when to go/not go on vacations.) I'm sure your worries are from all the nerves combined with stress and the big life change you're making. I wish you the best on your trip and wedding!!!

 

[SarahLovesJS]

Aww I just realized I didn''t reply, just try to calm down! You are leaving to get married, it is so exciting, put all of the scary thoughts aside!!

 

[iwannaprettyone]

Just be reassured in the fact that it will soon be you and your hubby and NO STRESS.. i envy your closeness to the wedding for this fact

You''ll have an amazing time in Jamaica and I know that you''ll have an amazing wedding day! Just try and take some deep breaths and remember how excited you''ve been when thinking about marrying your DF!

Thank you for all of your wonderful comments girls!

We leave tomorrow morning. We're packed and ready to go! If anyone caught my dog thread from a while ago, we have FOUR friends who all offered to stop by during different times during the day, and the dogs will be inside (besides pee breaks) except for just a few hours in the late afternoon/night (for exercise). So it looks like everything worked out!

Last night FI's boss threw us a surprise party and all of our friends were there. It was a big deal because FI's boss lives an hour away and FI's friends are kind of lazy (or I guess I just thought they were). lol. But it was a GREAT time and so much fun! We truly weren't expecting any sort of party from anyone, and it felt SO good to know that all of our friends and co-workers wanted to do something special for us.

I'm not nervous about the wedding....I'm actually pretty excited about it! I'm just afraid of flying and so I get SOOO paranoid and panicky about it up until we land. But I think my added nervousness is due to the wedding. I have anxiety issues so it's always a huge production anytime I have to fly anywhere.

Well thanks again ladies. Next time you talk to me I'll be a married woman! AHHHHH!!!

I can't believe the time has finally come! See you all next Monday!

Best wishes to you Lucky!! Have fun in Jamaica, wishing that your wedding is everything you are hoping for and more!!! I get the nerves, that''s normal. Sweet dreams, have a blast!!!

 

[diamondfan]

I am glad it all came together!

Have a great time!

Don''t be scared about flying (Easy for me to say. I ADORE flying). I recently read a statistic that you are safer flying on a commercial plane than you are going to a hospital (I''ll see if I can dig up the article). It''s especially fun to fly over the ocean and watch all the beautiful islands come into view. I got some great shots on my digi cam of our honeymoon destination as we approached it (and when we left it for that matter). Take an entertaining magazine or a book to help forget about being in the air. And remember, it''s better to take a plane to Jamaica than it is to swim there

Lucky! I know that you have already left, but I can''t wait until you get back to see some wonderful pictures!

 

[Bia]

Hmmm...little late but:

Its going to be fine. You're getting married!!! Think of the stress as just one more thing you are obsessing about until you tie the knot to your wonderful man...sometimes we tend to be in our heads too much...annoying isn't it?!

Congratulations and have an amazing time w/ your hubby-to-be!
