And once it's all over you'll say it all went so fast you want to go back and do it all again!

Thankfully i am not a bridezilla. I have a mother of the bridezilla but she means well.

Its "snowballed". It gets bigger and bigger. Ill take the anxiety and it will all be worth it. Just wanted a chat/ reassurance/ share stories. X

Yes tinks it will all be worth it and you'll have a great day, and probably think why did I get so stressed.

Everything will be wonderful, Tinks...

Your boquet won't arrive in a vase......mine did.....
You won't have a fender bender on the way to the service....we did....
The person marrying you won't have forgotten and gone shopping.....ours did.....
Your wedding won't be attended by a crazy old woman we all thought belonged to someone else.......ours was...
Your photos won't all be side on shots of the chaps because they were looking at the topless girls across the little park......ours are....
Your marriage certificate won't have the groom marrying a chap named Max......mine does.......

And it was a wonderful wedding.......

As will yours be.....enjoy every minute......love Ma x

Hang on, I'm gutted. There were no toppless gals at my wedding, I knew my best man wouldn't think of everything ( gawd, if you don't do it yourself..... ).

men aren't supposed to help with the wedding and you should be grateful for that - it lessens the points of potential conflict. Yes, it's nerves, you'll both be fine when it's done and dusted.

Congrats Tinkerbell23.

As long as he's got he's own teeth and lets you be right, you'll be fine.

Many people now "overplan" their weddings (and spend too much money on them).

When my wife and I decided to get married (30 years ago) we went to the register office and asked for the next available slot, which was in about 8 days time.

We got home, told our parents and friends that we were getting married that day and that was it.

No time for lots of planning and arguments and stress. Easy.

Remember it is the MARRIAGE that is important not the WEDDING.

I always tell anyone I know who is going to get married the same thing - getting married means grief. It's a given, there is no choice about that - the only thing you can control is grief limitation.

One of the hardest aspects is that there are so many people to please - impossible - which is where the 'limitation' bit comes in. You have to balance trying to please your family and friends, without screaming MY wedding, MY rules! at them about every five minutes!

When the day dawns, it will all have been worth it. Try to concentrate on remembering it, because it does all go so quickly.

Best of luck - be happy!
