Getting Married Today!

35 replies

PlasWedding · 10/08/2018 05:03

I'm getting married today! I've been awake for hours, clearly due to nerves/excitement and I have horrible heartburn!

Any tips on how I can relax and calm down?

Breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth, counting slowly.

But sqweeeeeeeee getting married, is s/he lovely and yummy and sweet and hot?

Fightthebear · 10/08/2018 05:05

Tea & toast?

But if you can’t be nervous and excited on your wedding day when can you be.

Have a wonderful day & congratulations Smile

Thank you! I haven't slept properly for two nights now and have bags under my eyes! 😂 I hope DD (just turned 2) copes ok with the day! She point blank hates her dress and shoes and will scream "no mum!" when she sees it in her wardrobe! 🙈

Cheeky glass of wine to calm the nerves WineGrin

Congratulations. How exciting. Go with the flow. Savor every moment. Remember to breathe. 💐

Bottlepanic · 10/08/2018 05:51

You can rest physically even if you can’t sleep. Lots of slow breathing, in through the nose, hold for ten, out through the mouth. When i’m struggling to sleep and all else has failed, I think of of a topic (names of actors; book titles; musicians etc) and see how many I can count - that usually works after 100 names or so!

Otherwise try and savour this last hour or two, because the day will go in a flash. Hope it’s everything you want it to be and congratulations! 🍾🍾🍾🥂🥂🥂

whereiwanttobe · 10/08/2018 05:57

How exciting, of course you can't sleep! Look back over old photos and remind yourself of all the lovely times you have had together - you won't go back to sleep but they will make you smile and relax?

I hope the sun shines for you (not that it will really matter) and I'm sure a bit of concealer will work wonders. If not, photoshop will be your friend. Have a wonderful day.

TiffinBox · 10/08/2018 05:58

Milk and toast rather than tea. Do you have any rennies or gaviscon?

Ohhh congratulations OP! I hope it's a lovely day. Perhaps go have a relaxing bath if you can't get back to sleep and pop a couple of Rennie's if you have any.

Fwiw, my DS had just turned two when we got married too. He hated the whole ceremony (too many people fussing over him I think) but perked up at the reception when food was on the go. It was also pouring down all day and night so we have zero professional photos outside, but lots of lovely ones that friends took later in the night when we were all a bit merry and stopped giving a fuck Grin

You'll have a fabulous day regardless of any little hiccups OP, don't worry!

MrsTerryPratchett · 10/08/2018 06:11

You have to have a spot. It's lucky or something.

I'd have DD wear leggings and a t-shirt but that's me Grin

newplacenofriends · 10/08/2018 07:09

Jupiter9 · 10/08/2018 07:10

I've been up for an hour because I'm getting married tomorrow and I can't sleep either!

Started worrying about my girls fitting into the bridesmaids outfits!

HelpmeobiMN · 10/08/2018 07:15

Congratulations!

Have some rennies and bland carby food like toast then have a bath and do some deep breathing.

Have a wonderful day!

sulflower · 10/08/2018 07:15

Have a fabulous day! Make a big show of how your daughter's dress is much prettier than yours and hopefully she falls for it. Congratulations 🎉

Thanks all! I've had some milk and now I'm up and about the heartburn has gone! Hands are slightly shaking but that may be hunger 😅
