I was so nervous the days leading up to the wedding. Those of you who were around when I was planning my wedding know that I am psycho anal planning chick who had to have every detail down to a t for weeks. I had our decor & OOT bags stuff packed for almost 2 months before the wedding!
Anyway, once the wedding day arrived and everything was falling into place I was soooo excited. As others have said, I felt almost giddy while I was getting ready. I was still in organizing mode right up until the end, telling people where to go, making sure everyone was in their right place (I'm terribly bossy!).
But, right before I walked down that long path to the gazebo and the "aisle" I felt this incredible wave of peace and calm and excitement all at the same time. I had this gigantic smile on my face that wouldn't go away (I tried to tone it down because I was afraid I was ruining my pictures). I knew I was in the right place, with the right man, and everything was meant to be.
A couple side notes to my emotions...lol: My dad forgot to walk me down the aisle- he went and was seated with the other guests! My mom had to go get him and tell him to get back to the lobby with me...he was so excited that he forgot! Then, when we got to the end of the aisle, I totally forgot to say something to my dad, or hug him or anything- I just took Jeff's hand and stepped right into the wedding gazebo. I kinda felt bad about that later, but my dad was fine- he knew I was excited!
I also had a momentary panic when I got to the gazebo and saw the full mariachi band instead of the 3 piece I had negotiated for. Here I am, walking down the aisle to my FI thinking "Oh shit...this is going to be expensive...damn Mexicans trying to swindle me!"... When, after all of that worrying, they just wanted to impress me because of the forum and didn't charge me extra Ahhh....the silly things I let stress me!
