Every bride has some sort of last minute panic in the final weeks before her wedding. Everything from, "what if I wake up with a huge zit the morning of the wedding?" to "am I making a horrible mistake getting married?. These questions are all too common, and are usually nothing more than a bad case of jitters and stage fright. Check out this list of last minute wedding panics that most brides face, as well as how to cure them quickly.
Am I making a horrible mistake getting married? Not every bride faces this question, but for those who do, it can be agonizing. Be aware that in the vast majority of cases, cold feet is not a sign of a serious problem, it is just a reaction to making a very strong commitment. Don't do anything rash; go out for a relaxing night with your best friend and talk it over. The chances are she will tell you that you are doing the right thing, and that when you hear it from a trusted friend, you will feel reassured and find your fears melt away.
Did I pick the wrong dress? This comes up quite frequently, too, usually as a middle of the night panic about three weeks before the wedding. Brides usually experience this fear because of the stress put on choosing the "perfect" gown, especially as the time draws near to debut the wedding dress. It is rare that a bride gets that close to her wedding with the wrong dress. If you really are having doubts, remind yourself what features drew you to the gown in the first place; the chances are strong that you still like them. Now ask yourself what worries you about the dress. Maybe the fit could be better and some fine tuning is needed. Or perhaps the style of your wedding has evolved since you ordered your gown. The easy solution to that is to experiment with some different accessories. You can make a simple gown more elegant by adding an ornate set of bridal jewelry and a dramatic veil, or tone down an opulent bridal gown with very simple jewelry and a short veil. And remember that your groom will find you breathtaking no matter what gown you have chosen.
What if I mess up my vows? As the wedding day draws near, it is perfectly natural for stage fright to set it, especially for brides who normally shun the spotlight. There are a few things to keep in mind. One is that people do flub their vows all the time, and it is really no big deal Even Princess Diana did it and she had millions of people watching her do it live on television; a small slip up in front of your loved ones will not detract from the beauty of your ceremony. To make yourself feel more confident, feel free to practice saying your vows in front of a mirror a few times. And remember that you will not be all alone up there on the altar; your fiance will be right there with you.
What if I wake up with a huge zit on the morning of the wedding? Truly, the chances of this are slim. But if you are really concerned, get in to see a dermatologist in the months before your wedding. If you are a patient at a dermatologist's office, they should be able to fit you in for an emergency appointment to get a cortisone shot, which will shrink the blemish like magic. A less dramatic option is simply to have a good concealer in your makeup kit, and to avoid the temptation to squeeze the pimple, which will only inflame it and make it harder to hide.
Everyone will face their own individual moments of panic right before they get married (what if I trip going down the aisle or there is a freak snowstorm in July?). It is normal, but nothing to let interfere with the excitement and joy of your wedding. Do your best to relax and remember that the true point of a wedding is not to put on the party of the year,but to celebrate your marriage surrounded by those you love. If you can keep that in mind, all of those panicky fears will shrink down to size.
