Do you know why you're frightened?
Are you scared you'll trip, pass out, have toilet paper dragging behind you? :)
When you get up that morning, eat a little something whether you feel like it or not. No caffine, no alcohol. Both dehyrate you. Pee before you put on your dress. Pause for a few minutes and take a look at yourself. You will see this vision before you and you will be able to walk the aisle with confidence knowing you are stunning.
Smile; you aren't walking "the last mile" but walking towards the man that you are going to spend the rest of your life with, because you both love each other so much.
And trust me, once you get to the end of the aisle, EVERYTHING fades into the background so there's just you, your fiance & the officiant.
Ps. Don't lock your knees while standing; keep the blood flowing.

Walking down the aisle can be scary, I have nightmares of that most of the time, eventhough I am completely in love with my future husband. It's just a scary thing entrusting your life to someone, you're supposed to be scared and excited all at the same time. If it's meant, it's worth it...you'll be overcome by joy and emotion the stage will be the last thing on your mind. Good luck sweetie!

Practice. Seriously. I got married in Niagara Falls State park and my walk down the aisle consisted of an extensive twisting, rather steep, downhill path, a flight of stairs, a bridge and walking over tree roots. I was terrified. So once I had my cheapo clear jelly shoes/sandals that were $4 at Wal Mart, I started practicing. At least once a week until I could walk it blindfolded if I had to. I had every stair, bump, turn and crack memorized. Overkill, I know, but it kept me sane. My walk was beautiful and uneventful and even though we had several guests, my eyes were on my groom from the moment I could see him until it was all over, I never even looked at the guests. Which will probably be the case for you too, so don't worry and good luck!

You don't. But on your wedding day, everyone knows you'll be nervous, you get caught up in the moment, your family and friends are there, and you start saying your vows and soon it's all over. Once you get about 1/2 way down the aisle, the nerves calm down because you feel the love around you, and see the smiles and happy tears in everyone's eyes.

You're the center of attenton because you're surrounded by friends who support you. You could literally trip and fall -- twice! -- down the aisle, and while people would chuckle, they would still love you and be supportive.
Worst case, make eye contact with your husband at the alter, and don't break it until you get to the front -- except to climb any steps that may be present.
Congratulations!

Once you start walking down the aisle and see your soon to be husband,everything else will vanish from view.It will be like it's just you and him in the room.

Are you afraid of the marriage or just the ceremony part? I have zero reservations about the marriage, but I am such a serious klutz that I am terrified about the "walk." I trip over myself barefoot. Even my fiance says he is nervous FOR me! How do you get over it? I wish I knew too. It will prob. only be twenty steps or so, but it does seem like it will be much longer to me. Someone here said you could fall over yourself twice, but the room will be filled with people who love you. I will try to remember that.

Just cling to your dad's arm while walking down the aisle and count on him to get you to your future husband, and then cling to your groom! I'm gonna be nervous too, but i gotta realize that it's my day and everyone is going to think I'm beautiful because everyone thinks brides are beautiful. Good luck and congrats!

That's your dad's job (or whoever is walking you down the aisle). They'll take your hand and quietly remind you to smile. If necessary they can give you a little (un-obvious) tug to get you started.

Don't look at the people just look at ur destination, the alter. And keep thinking about what a wonderful thing you are doing. Once you get up there just look into your "soon to be husband's" face and block out everyone around you.
