I am getting married on Saturday. The man I am marring is the love of my life and I can't image my life without him. I don't want to feel sick standing at the alter. What can I do that morning or that day to control my wedding day jitter. Previous brides please help!

Laugh with your family and bridesmaids as you get ready--it'll take the edge off. Don't worry about details, just enjoy the day.
I'm blessed with parents and a brother with great senses of humor--we laughed like crazy that morning! My mom was more nervous then me!
We also each power-drank a screwdriver before my 10am ceremony right before we left for the church. THAT will calm you down!
I was the happiest, most positively giddy bride you'd ever see. I had the best day of my life.

Even if you are feeling a little queasy, you must eat just a little something before the ceremony. And don't drink. You have a greater chance of passing out than getting sick, so avoid that first. I was so nervous that day, more nervous than ever before! But my friends and family worked so hard to make the whole thing run perfectly, it was really a relief to see them all running around helping. Just concentrate on getting down that aisle. The rest is a piece of cake.

Be sure to get plenty of sleep the night before, and be sure to eat plenty of light but nutritious food on your wedding day. If you need to, take a benadryl or Tylenol PM (only one!) about 9:30 or 10:00 the night before your wedding so that you can sleep. Be sure to get 8 or 9 hours of sleep. Eat breakfast and lunch so that you don't get nauseous from being hungry and tired.
Like someone else said, don't eat, drink, or otherwise consume anything your body isn't accustomed to. And focus on being married - not all the eager pairs of eyes and smiling faces glued to you.
As goofy as it is, the only part of my wedding I'm wigging out about is the first dance. My fiance has had lessons and is really good, but I can't dance to save my life! (ha!) And I don't like being watched. I'll probably go for a couple of lessons and try to chill out. I also may sneak a glass of champagne a little earlier!!

Peppermint is known for calming nerves and easing an upset stomach. Get some essential oil and dab it on your wrists, sip peppermint tea, or get some tiny mints that are made with pure peppermint oil. All these items should be easy to find in pretty much any store.
Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and smell the peppermint. It's amazing stuff.

dont do anything you have never done before. no drugs, no weird foods, nothing like that. just get up and do what you would do on a regular day where you feel just fine.
when you are at the back of the church and you are all a flutter, well, that is normal and that is the way it is supposed to feel. go with the feeling and just radiate poise and happiness. the rest will take care of itself., if you try to drug yourself you run the risk of terrible things, dont do it.

My advise is to just breath and enjoy the day. Don't stress yourself out about EVERYTHING being perfect. Enjoy the ride! Make sure you eat and drink before the ceremony, and DON'T lock your knees! That is the best way to pass out. And really, you don't notice those in attendance when you are saying your vows!
