Take a deep breath. Take a walk. Then when you get home write out the list of things that have to be done and are done. When you see what little is left to be done and what has been done, you will begin to relax. All brides go through this nervousness. Just remember that this is your day and you should have as much fun as your guests.

Remember that it is not really about the wedding...So what your gown gets riped the ring bears run down down the aisle and the flower girls are doing cart wheels...Your mom bickers at your new husband all night while your new mother in law gripes about how much she don't like you...Not to mention the DJ isn't there and the cake fell over...So what..Big deal...Your not getting married for the wedding...It's all about being in love...So what if things end up going crazy...What's meant to be will no matter how much you stress about it...So relax..What's the worst that will happen?? End up with a memory that will never fade and make you laugh every time you think about it?? Don't sound to bad to me...As long as you are both there for each other...

Wow! I remember when I was two weeks away... That was about the time I found out my little brother was not going to come and walk me down the aisle. Talk about stressing! I was just about to loose it right about now. My now-hubby sat me down and said "look, this is going down one way or the other. what's done is done and what isn't done isn't that big of a deal. nobody will know that you didn't get everything done that you planned. relax. I love you and this is all about 1 day. one day of our lives together. let's just roll with it and enjoy the biggest party we'll ever throw" any questions why I married him? Hope this helps. Find a way to look forward to this day and don't sweat the small stuff. That's the best advise I can give. Thoughts, prayers & congrats!

Assign things to other people to take care of. Make a list and check a couple days before hand to see all things are taken care of. Really things will turn out. They always do. And for the little unexpected things,those are the things that make it! Relax,get a massage,facial,peticure. All these are relaxing and fun too. Also go workout at a fitness center daily if need be,it is both relaxing and takes away any frustrations or anxieties you have. Trust me this really works and tones you up beside. Congratulaions!

Remember to focus on the marriage, not the wedding. The marriage is for your lifetime, the wedding is 1 day out of your lives together. Do something every single day between now and then that isn't wedding related, don't let it consume you, it's very easy to do at this point. Take a walk every day with your fiance. Listen to relaxing music. Read the Bible (trust me, it works). Do yoga, just do something that has absolutely nothing to do with the wedding, planning or anything. Congrats on your upcoming marriage and good luck!

It's not going to happen. Three days before my wedding, I broke out in hives. And the day of my wedding I started. It's nerves. Just try to relax. And everything will be fine. Just remember. It's your day! Nothing and nobody can ruin it! Congrats! and have a beautiful day! Good Luck!

Congrats! I am getting married in April and just attended a friend's wedding. She told me to buy a large notebook and put it and a pen by my bed. That way when you wake up in the middle of the night stressing about one detail or another, you can write it down and go back to sleep.

You just need to write down all the things that you have done. Once you see that most of it is finished you won't be so nervous. It is common for brides to be nervous. Then think about something fun you and your attendants can do at the rehearsal that will make you all laugh. I did this for a friend of mine and she began to relax and have a good time at her own wedding and rehearsal. Good Luck.

How NOT to Faint at the Altar
Many brides and some grooms fear that they will faint once they are at the altar. Here are a few tips to keep in mind, just in case you feel you are going to "keel" over!
The night before the wedding, pack smelling salts and give them to your Officiant, maid of honor or best man. Make sure they will be close in case you need them.
The day of the wedding, avoid eating heavy meals but rather try eating lightly throughout the day. DO MAKE SURE YOU EAT THOUGH.
Eat chicken or fish, cold salads, cheese and crackers, toast, scrambled eggs, bagels, and lightly seasoned pasta dishes (avoiding spicy tomato sauces and try for pasta in light olive oil.
Avoid gas-producing foods such as beans, cauliflower and broccoli.)
This may sound crazy, but eating salty foods like popcorn, potato chips and salty pretzels an hour before your wedding, will help you to retain water, eliminating the urge to have to go to the bathroom.
When standing, never lock your knees and stand with your legs apart even with your shoulders, knees relaxed.
Request chairs or a place to sit at the altar be provided so that if you do feel overcome with dizziness, you will be able to sit.
Take advantage of the prayers. Bend your head and breath slowly and deeply inhaling and exhaling to a slow, mental count of 7.
Lean on your fiancé if you must.
Dress for the season. If you are marrying in the colder months, do not wear a summer gown. You should feel comfortable. If you are marrying in the warmer months, avoid heavy under clothes such as crinolines and petticoats.
Your dress should fit you comfortably, not too tight.
Choose a gown with short or no sleeves (if your Officiant allows). If you must choose a gown with sleeves, make sure they are loosely fitted, lacy or illusion material. Make sure your dress lets you "breath".
Choose shoes that will let you stand comfortably and do make sure they are broken in. If you must, take them to a shoemaker and have them stretched so that they aren't binding on your wedding day.
Avoid heavy scents and perfumes, which are overly sweet smelling. They can overcome your senses and make you feel nauseous if you are dizzy.
Have water available and close by.
If you do feel that none of this is helping, simply whisper to your Officiant that you feel faint and have him/her seat you and your bridal party.
Ask to bring in fans if air circulation or air conditioning is a problem.
Relaxing is most important. Before walking down the aisle, you may find that a short "loosening up" is in order. Shake your arms and legs and do a few head and neck rolls. You may look funny, but it does help.

have the bridesmaids take you out for a day of pampering (or you could take them!) have manicures, pedicures, massages and facials. remember to breathe, every wedding has at least one small thing go wrong - it's OKAY! just let things roll off your back. remember this is supposed to be a happy, amazing day for you & your husband to be. if things happen they happen, it'll just make for a great story later one when you're telling the story to your grandchildren. something else that helps me with stress is music and exercise. of course there's always s-x! congratulations!
