We could all sit here and say different ways to calm down, unfortunately it wont work. You will freak until the morning of the wedding, its a rite of passage that every married woman goes through!
All I can say is that no matter what, the only important thing that happens on your wedding day is that you both take your vows, thats the grand prize, focus on that part. And just think when you take that dress off you will be a Mrs!!!!
Good luck!!!

There is a lot of good advice given here, so I won't even try to top it...the main thing is to RELAX and enjoy this time. If everything is ready, great. If not, DELEGATE! I am sure you have friends who would be happy to help make phone calls for confirmations, etc.
I have been married twice and the one thing I have learned from both (other than wait for the RIGHT man) is that something will inevitably go wrong. The first time, the preacher was late and my brother, who was to be an usher, forgot his dress shoes. The second time, well, I don't even remember and it was just 3 years ago, except that it was pouring down rain when I came out of the salon after sitting in the chair for a long time getting my hair done. Nothing major and you know what I discovered? No matter what happens, the only thing that is important is that at the end of it all, the minister, or whoever is doing the wedding says "I now pronounce you husband and wife."
Best wishes and may God bless your new life together!

This is when most brides take the time to pamper themselves. Once all of your details are confirmed, take a few days off work (if you can), and indulge!
Go to the spa. Get a facial. A mud wrap. Anything that has nothing to do with the wedding.
Provided you aren't having doubts about the actual future husband to be, and all of your plans are set in stone without any glitches, let it go!!
Talking to your girlfriends/family may help. Have you had your bachelorette party yet?
Some couples also go away for a few days out of town to a cottage or Bed and Breakfast to have a few days of peace before the chaos!
If money is an issue, pamper yourself at home! Salt/sugar makes a good scrub, oatmeal a great mask, and honey and olive oil do wonders for your hair.
Realize that this is 100% normal, and that you will be fine come the big day. Despite what society tells us, marriage is not the be all and end all of our existence. Don't panic!!
You are still you, except you will be called "wife" and will legally be married to your honey. That's it!!
Good luck and congrats!

2 weeks!! Good job!!! and Congratulations!
Right now is time for you to start to unwind. Make appointments to have a massage, or full day salon treatment. Go out and buy yourself something nice and practice relaxing everyday.
WHen you get home at night- rest in a tub of hot water and mineral oils or calming aromatherapy.
What you have are prewedding jitters and they will die down right after you get married. Nothing to worry about.
Read a book, take a walk, whatever that will take your mind off of it. If you have any important things that need to be done between now and then, delegate them to your MOH or other trusted helper so you dont have to worry.
Smile and laugh- have fun the next two weeks!!

Ummm...its your wedding, you are supposed to show off. The mother of the groom wants to see that you love to parade her beloved son around and show off how handsome h e is and how lucky you are. There is a time for everything...and THIS IS IT!! Have fun.
As for wedding jitters....if its about the ceremony and details, take a deep breath. Call on your bridesmaids to help checkup or followup on things that are waking you up at night... (like did the DJ get the song list, did he remember the song for my dad? are the centerpieces ready? etc.). Then make a decision to focus on the real reason you are getting married (its like Christmas---we have big expectations and if we dont focus on family, love and God we get a big let down)....same here...focus on your hubby, your love for one another and God.... everything else will be fine.... all of your guests want it to be wonderful for you and they will surely help with anything that isn't quite right.....
If its about the wedding itself...the marriage thing.... be sure you have had time to yourself. Picture your life with this man in the next year, the next five years and the next ten. If nothing about him changes, can you be happy? If the answer is maybe not, go see a counselor or a clergy. If you love him and the answer is yes...then all you can do is your best. None of us has guarantees. So long as you are both willing to give your best one day at a time to each other, you will do fine. god Bless

Calm down! Dont be nervous take a deep breath your getting married to the love of your life! Go to the spa a day before your wedding and have a night on the town with some friends let loose and dont even think about being nervous. Be excited instead. What is there to be nervous about?

I know the feeling, I am getting married on the 24th, 2 weeks from saturday and have always had a great ability to focus on stuff and really concentrate and be organized, no anymore! I have gone completely A.D.D., I would make lists of what to do, but things just flit in and out of my head so fast lately I dont have time! If your just nervous about the day, then I don't know if their is much you can do about it except bite the bullet and make it through it and know your not alone!

On the morning of the wedding, eat something, even if you don't feel like it. No caffine, no alcohol (even the night before). Keep hydrated.
Before putting on your dress, take one last pee.
Before leaving to walk the aisle, take a few moments by yourself. Give thought to the fact that you are going to marry the man you love most, and who loves you as much in return. Look at the beautiful image staring back from you in the mirror. Take a deep breath & go. Stand straight, & smile; you aren't walking the last mile!
You will walk the aisle knowing you are stunning.

Yes, it's nerves. Try your best to relax. Schedule a massage, a manicure, a pedicure, etc. Listen to soothing music. Hopefully all the "planning" stuff is done, all you have to do now is confirm things with vendors, and make sure you have everything. Let people to whom you've delegated responsibilities to follow up on those--call them if you need to. Just try to do something each day to relax, so you don't turn into a Bridezilla!! Congrats on your upcoming marriage!!

As long as you love the guy than there is nothing to worry about. The wedding will all come and go so fast you won't have time to be nevrous about it. All that matters is that man waiting for you at the end of the alter.
