Feeling very calm about impending nuptials

DP and I are getting married in two months, we’ve got pretty much all of the big things sorted and just have a few little bits to do. I’m feeling really relaxed about it all, looking forward to a great day and don’t feel any nerves just yet... am I setting myself up for disaster or is this normal?

I don’t really like being the centre of attention but have come to accept that it’s just the way it’s going to be and I’m just really excited to finally be married to the man I love Grin and hopefully have a brilliant day with all my loved ones.

So... am I destined to have a massive meltdown in about 6 weeks time or has anyone else been weirdly calm about it all?

We had our DD May ‘17 and got married June ‘17. It took 3 months of planning only! I got my dress whilst pregnant and gave the seamstress only 2 weeks to take it in after I gave birth and lost some of the weight (I put on 3 stone!) I only picked the dress up the day before the wedding so if it didn’t fit there was nothing I could do about it and I was totally fine (as was the Dress fitting). The night before the wedding waved my DH off and chilled out, wasn’t nervous at all, walking Down the aisle, wasn’t nervous at all. The only thing I was slightly nervous about was potentially crying whilst saying my vows as I’ve become a very emotional person (happy tears) after having DD and forgetting what I was supposed to be saying. Luckily neither of those happened!

I was calm the whole time, even on the morning of the wedding everyone was remarking on how calm I was. The only slight blip I had was when we had to redo our table plan with 6 days to go because another one of DH’s friends dropped out with a pathetic excuse.
I felt calm right up until I started to walk down the aisle and then felt a rush of emotion and nearly cried but as soon as I got to DH I was fine again.
Embrace the calm! There’s no point getting stressed.

Oh and my last dress fitting was 6 days before the wedding and I also picked the dress up the day before - no issues!

I was totally calm during the whole time, absolute faith that I was marrying my soulmate. Still the best thing I've ever done bar having DC

Surely being calm is a good thing! Although a bit of stage fright would be normal!
I'm already terrified, and it's nearly a year away! (not of marrying the wrong man, but more stuff like ripping my dress, or laughing and farting or something similarly embarrassing!)

I am very calm too, although still 5 months off. No meltdowns so far, although I did get quite worried at the start about working out the budget (I'm always the one who worries about money) and I also got very nervous the evening before my wedding dress fitting. Now my biggest worry is that I'll cry during the ceremony. I cry at anything and am a very ugly cryer!

Oh God @paap1975 you've just added another thing to my list!
Two in fact! Just working out budget and I'm also an ugly crier!
