Cold feet doesn't necessarily mean what you think it means.....
It's perfectly normal to feel or think a range of different things on their wedding day. Nervous, excited, scared, or worried, it's one of the biggest days of your life and you have every right to feel what you feel. Some brides have spent months, if not years envisioning this day and when it finally arrives it can be exhilarating! The excitement and nerves of seeing everything come together and knowing one other person is feeling the same way, can bring on a roller coaster of emotions. Just know that when you start walking down the aisle and see your groom waiting for you, you're both in it together and those feelings will drift away with each step you take closer to him. So don't fret!
A few of the questions/concerns I've had from past brides has really given me the opportunity to hone in on the pre-ceremony wedding jitters and how and why it occurs. Ladies this one is for you. Enjoy!
Top 5 things a bride is most likely to think on her wedding day
1) "Will everything go according to plan?" Most brides tend to think of their timeline. Regardless of whether or not they have a coordinator the day of (you should!) the feeling of having to be in control and letting that go, can be a hard thing to get through. However, that feeling usually goes away moments before walking down the aisle!
2) "Will everyone have a good time?" Months and months of planning and you want to make sure everyone is enjoying the details you have dreamt of. You want your guests to leave the night saying, "this was the best wedding ever!" so feelings of brief anxiety and paranoia may set in.
3) "What if I fumble my words?" I can't tell you how many brides have asked me this! It's a clear case of stage fright and that is perfectly normal. It's not every day you're center stage!
4) “What if someone else messes up?” There are quite a few team members helping your dream day come to life. With so many people involved in the back end of things, it can get a little dicey so those feelings are more than warranted. Trust that you made the right choice in hiring the vendors that will do the best job they can to make sure your day is flawless.
5) “What Will My Pictures Look Like?” I've had brides worry about this for hours even after the reception was over! Yes, some of us don’t like taking pictures and when we do, we immediately stress out about what it’s going to look like. Think about this, if you’re at your happiest state, every single picture will be a reflection of that. That happiness will be captured and that is all that matters!
