Ask a Question
What are you most worried about?

I have been thinking about the things that I am the most worried about on my big day. For me, it's really two things.

1) The weather. Yes, people say rain is good luck, but not when you're getting married outside on the beach with no shelter. If it rains, it will ruin my whole ceremony.

2) I am worried about my cake. Not sure why this is a huge deal for me, maybe because I am so excited about my cake. I am so scared I'm going to walk into my reception and see a pink and orange polka dot cake, or something that totally doesn't go with my lavender/sage green hydrangea theme. I've seen some of the cakes out there and quite frankly they scare me. My taste is very simple, that's why I am going with an all ivory cake dusted with sugar crystals. I do plan to call my cake maker when I send her the final payment and just remind her what she's supposed to be making for me.

So I am curious, ladies, what is it (if anything) that has you worried for your big day?

I'm worried about my vendors showing up! Last night I had a horrible dream that my priest didn't show up, and we were scrambling around calling priests from all over the area, and we finally found one...and then our priest walked in like an hour late. I'm just worried about my photog, cake baker, dj, limo, etc showing up on time. So I am calling them and confirming several times.

running extremely late.
i am someone who likes to be on time and on schedule. Unfortunately i'm marring into a family who run on so call "brown time" aka showing up at 8:30 when the invitation say 7pm

Where we are having our reception, a lot of east indian weddings take place there. When we went to book the place, we ended up talking to the manager who was telling us some bride and groom show up to their reception at 9pm or 10 b/c the bride took too long to get ready of family things were holding them back. I've decided that as long as i have my dress on, we will be  arriving for the reception at 8:10 (invitation says it starts at 7:00 but we are suppose to arrive later) I'm going paying all this money to only enjoy a few hours of my reception.

I keep having nightmares about my flowers...maybe because my florist's nickname is 'loris the crazy florist'!
I'm also terrified of getting a migraine the day of....

I am worried about getting my marriage license.  We live in California, we are getting married in Charleston, SC.  We have to apply for our license in person which will be a Monday.  It is a 24 hour waiting period and then we get married on Wednesday.

I'm most worried about my photography.  My Matron of Honor and her mother used to own a photography company.  They closed the business, but her mom still has the cameras.  Her mother was really close to me growing up (we've been friends for like 15 years) and of course, her mom offered to do my pics for free.  We really needed to save the money, but the problem is, she can't print the pictures as she doesn't have the equipment, so I will get the memory cards and have to get all the pics printed myself.  I know that Kodak Gallery or even Sam's has good quality, but I'm so jealous that I won't be able to have an album done professionally.  I know that I can do it myself, but it's just not the same.  I am concerned that I am not going to like the quality of pictures.  I am so frustrated with my feelings.  Grrr!  I am thankful for her offer though and I can't decline her services as I know this will really upset her and her mother.  So, let's hope for the best, FINGERS CROSSED!

I'm worried about people not having fun!  That the room will be too full and crowded and everyone will be crabby.

I'm most worried about the dancing part.  My FH and I aren't the greatest dancers.

Crap.  kaflleje, I didn't even think about that.  My FH is going to destroy the bottom of my dress and my toes, LOL!!! He's a horrible dancer and he won't even try to learn.  Oh well... :)

I am most worried about my budget, I have dreams where I've totally miss calculated the cost of everything and it ends up the day before the wedding and we can't pay anyone.

My more logical worry is how our family will respond and get along since it's not going to be the big formal church wedding they all expected and we're doing everything ourselves so I'm afraid that my mum and best friend are going to be upset about not organizing a shower or coming to the dress fittings...but in the long run the stress of doing it without them is much much less than the stress of doing it with them!

1st of all, Congrats on being almost 1 month away from your big day! I get married the week after you! Can't wait!

I am worried about not feeling well on my big day.. I have a lot of health problems and I am worried that I will be having a bad day..

I am also worried about people not showing up (on time or at all).. Our wedding is at 10:30am so you can see why I am worried about that..

Also, RAIN! We are getting married in a gazebo outside but our guests will have no cover!

Good luck to all you ladies on your wedding day!!

it's kinda graphic but I have really bad ovarian cysts that cause my periods to be irregular, and extremely painful to the point they knock me off my feet and vomit. i am really worried that I will get my period on the day of or just before the wedding and will be in agony the whole time! it's honestly one of my biggest nightmares!

I am worried that everyone we've invited will actually come. I know that sounds bad, but our guest list seems to keep growing, and it is really busting the budget. FH assures me that many of his out of town family will most likely not come, but who really knows.

I am also stressing over the seating arrangements. I feel like no matter how I arrange my guests, someone is going to be thinking "why did they stick me here?"
