Crazy emotions?

[~Sara~]

Alright ladies...in the week(s) leading up to your wedding did you experience crazy emotions?

I swear one minute some commercial on TV makes me start bawling and then another time it doesn't. Also, my fuse is a lot shorter than normal and I've been snipping at FH more than normal :heee: Anybody else?

[Kristy]

I think I was just so frazzled at trying to get everything done and please everyone (like OOT guests, etc...) that my emotions were lsot in all of that somewhere :lol:I was on vacation the week of myw edding and the week after, so the week of the wedding, I relaxed a bit. I got a massage, went shopping for the HM, etc... It helped relax me :)

[RadishWife]

Yes it was so intense all the way up to the wedding. Just remember to breathe and soak it all in.

[Noelle]

I remember I was that way, I know the day of my Rehearsal we were finishing decorating....and I got to my house and EVERYONE wanted me to do stuff, that I just Snapped. I took a shower and cried, and then was okay...Just keep breathing, and you'll do fine :)

[Emily]

Yes...I Had a PANIC attack! I wasn't going to get to the plane and go.I had changed my mind! Thank you to a big dose of xanax, I got on the plane and got married without further incident!

[smiles]

I was suprisingly calm until right before the rehersal dinner when everything was going slow and I had a bridezilla attack.

[*Diane*]

Mark had stopped by the day we got married, just in time to see me go ape crazy. My stepfather lost his tie and that was the final straw. He actually told me that I had to stop or he wouldn't marry me. :eek: He might as well have thrown cold water in my face.

I was out of control and my stepfather was teasing me that he was going to wear socks tied in a bow around his neck...maybe I was a teensy bit justified? Nah, I had reached the maximum bridal boundary, aka mbb, the limit of patience that any woman should have to endure.

i was going crazy and freaking and panicing that something wasnt going to get done until my dad started freaking telling me to calm down everything was going to be fine. after that i was extremely calm. then at rehearsal it was emotional but calm

[Marisa]

I'm having a time. I ended up buying the book "Emotionally Engaged" because until I found it I thought I was the most anti-bride ever. I was irritated with everyone who seemed to think my whole life was consumed with wedding planning.

The book helped a lot. Unfortunately, life itself is just so hectic with the wedding, work and doctoral dissertation stress so when a work incident almost took me over the edge I decided to go to a counselor. I am going weekly and get to talk about whatever comes to mind. This week I talked about my irritation with the gender expectation that I am only concerned about wedding planning. Next week I want to talk about independence and interdependency.

[KathyandJer]

I know I've been super-emotional and sentimental lately. I read a sample sand ceremony and started bawling at one point! Guess it'll be an emotional roller-coaster ride, huh?

[*heather*]

Sara, I cried everyday over something. :lol: I really freaked out. I think I was just impatient for the day to get there, and I was trying to keep busy the whole time, but that meant I was coming up with new ideas that I *had* to have right then! I was even designing a new family crest for me and Joe two days before the wedding.:laugh3:

[Cindy]

Pass the tissues! Yup, I cry often too. Making decisions about this happy day just get me teary.

[*Gina*]

I was so excited about everything until the day of the wedding. Then I was just numb. I walked around in a haze until about 30 minutes before the ceremony and then I completely wigged out. Full-fledged wigging out. :lol: Actually, about 2 hours before that, I had a rush of nerves and felt sick, THEN I wigged out.

DH came up to my room before the ceremony and stood outside the door for the photographer to get pictures of us touching hands. Once he reached around the door and held my hand, I was fine. From that point forward, my nerves were gone.

I was very adamant about not seeing my groom beforehand, so we did the hands pictures instead. I highly recommend any sort of contact with your FH before because it helps more than you know.

I just love those pictures too...and well, pass the tissues, cuz just reading this made me get all teary-eyed. I would love to just be able to hold Jer's hand that day and know that no matter what else happens, he'll be at the end of the aisle and we'll be married at the end of the day :)

That is something that I definitely want to do! I love those type of pictures! Thanks for the idea Gina :) Do you have your picture like that online so we can see? :heee:

Oh thank GOD I'm not the only one!!!

I'm a wreck recently (I think mostly due to PMS), so thank goodness I'm not crazy! No bridezilla moments, just leave me alone and let me cry moments...yeah it's totally PMS, haha.

[*Gina*]

I think I do....:heee:

Let me find them :)

[*Gina*]

Here you go. :) That smile is RELIEF! I was sort of unhappy with the pictures just because it was taken at a weird angle. Ah well. You get the idea.

[Marisa]

Oh my - both are such lovely pictures!

[Maria 05]

I freaked my wedding dress decided the week of the wedding not to close on me. Then the stags teased me about jacQues stag night so yes crazy emotions happen

[Noelle]

Sara, are you and Jim planning to see each other before the wedding, for pictures? If you are, I really recommend pictures taken when you first see each other and then have the photographer give you like 5 minutes to yourselves, and then you guys can go do the rest of the pictures. Some of my favorite pictures were taken when we FIRST saw each other!!!

[~Sara~]

Oh Gina! Those pictures are beautiful! My mind is made up...we are doing one of those!

Noelle- No we aren't seeing each other before the ceremony.

[Uma]

I completely freaked out two nights before the wedding. I started bawling non stop in the shower and DH had to take me out. I think he's still scared of that night! I wonder how it'll be like this time around.

[KathyandJer]

Here you go. :) That smile is RELIEF! I was sort of unhappy with the pictures just because it was taken at a weird angle. Ah well. You get the idea.

Beautiful pictures - thanks for sharing :) Again, I saw the picture and got all teary-eyed! I definitely want to get this picture on our wedding day :) Hope you don't mind, but I saved it in my inspiration folder :)

[*Gina*]

I don't mind at all. :)

[Noelle]

Sara -- I would say that since you're not seeing each other before the wedding, then you should DEFINITELY do the door picture! It's a really neat picture!

[Raychel]

I didn't really get extremely emotional until right before we left for the wedding.
That night I was a basket case, in a happy good way though...I think haha

Diane sent me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers and that is when I first lost it haha...ohh I cried so many tears of happiness knowing that I was loved and being thought of by our dear Diane on my wedding day.

That night I cried on and off randomly just completely overwhelmed with so many emotions. Even simple things were making me teary!

[*Diane*]

Raych, I never knew this until now. I am so thankful and touched that you felt what I had hoped you would, that you were so very loved and that I was sending you the most happy bride vibes ever. :sappy: :smooch:
