Getting married on saturday, getting kinda nervous, any ideas on how to relax. Also wondering if anyone has any suggestions on making things interesting.....as in fun and exciting during the ceremonies, supper and the dance because I know my mom is going to probably cry during the ceremonies!!! LOL Any ideas??

First of all, as for relaxing...take deep breaths, think about your almost-husband, and take your time doing everything. Make sure you have a plan for that day so that you don't have to hurry at any point, be prepared and get to your hair/makeup appointments early, ask your maid/matron of honor to keep track of where the bridesmaids are at all times. Get everything packed up for the wedding asap (even today would be best) so that you don't have to do it later. And if you are able to relax but find your mind working a mile a minute, go buy a silly magazine...NOT a bridal one!! Just something else you are into, or like US Weekly, something to take your mind off of things for a few minutes.
As for making things interesting, the best thing I can say is the more you smile and laugh the more your guests will. The more you and the bridal party dance the more your other guests will too.
And your mom, she will cry (she probably won't be the only one)...but after the ceremony I'm sure she will stop and just be happy, happy for you both and happy to see you having a good time. Take a little time to tell her how much she means to you, that type of thing.
I'm sure your wedding is going to be amazing! Good luck!

I got married on June 10, 2006 and I got a little nervous right before the wedding, too. I just had a few beers to relax me, but I'm a drinker. Don't worry about people having fun, that's what the DJ does. Everyone is going to be talking to each other and dancing. At my reception, nobody even sat at their tables except to eat dinner. They were all just milling around having a good time. You just enjoy yourself, because the day goes by sooo fast. Be sure to take in every moment.

do something with a group of friends that you haven't done in a while (preferrably something that requires some movement) to help you relax:
bowling
roller skating
painting pottery
visit the zoo
salsa dance class
the movement really does help you relax...but a spa (massage, manicure, facial, pedicure) visit wouldn't hurt either!
a cute idea for the reception is to have an "oldest couple" dance. have all married couples come on the floor and dance to a song and then after a while have the dj/mc call for all people married less than 1 year sit down, less than 5 years sit down, etc., etc. until you get to the one couple who has been married the longest. give the female in the couple one of the bridesmaids bouquets or give her your toss bouquet and avoid the bouqet toss altogether. then have the couple tell the crowd the secret to a long lasting marriage. it's quite cute.
congrats, relax, and enjoy your day!

Just try to relax yourself by listening to your favorite music,and doing things that you like! and see to it that u hav a D.J arranged as he can change the mood of the ceremonies.and let him play your mom's favorite numbers too........so that she can enjoy too. try having a theme for every ceremony if possible.and anyways wishing you a happily married life.

just make sure you have a good sence of humour during you ceremonies, when your reading your voels , if one of you's stuff up just smile or giggle, its less emabressing that way and you will have somthing to giggle about for years. maybe for teh dance you and you hubby to be could practice a dance to perform for your first dance, a friend of mine did the tango.

Breathe.......sounds dumb, but seriously, inhale as deeply as possible through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth. It has a great calming effect.
Also, my bit of advice to you is let the day happen how it will. Things WILL go wrong (or not as you pictured), but just enjoy each other and don't sweat the small stuff.
Good luck!
