How did you feel before your wedding?

clayton16749

Me and my wife (as she will be and god it feels odd typing that!) are getting married tomorrow.


There's so many last minute things to be done, so why I'm sat here typing I don't know - hopefully she wont catch me!


How did anyone else feel before the big day? Everyone seems to be saying I should feel really anxious about it - but I don't, I'm just getting more and more excited.


Should I expect a sudden prang of anxiety in the morning? Some other men have told me they cried during the ceremony, I'm sure I'll feel emotional but I don't want to cry really.

I didn't feel anxious at all. Just excited. Neither did I cry during the wedding.

Me and my now wife organised it all and we knew what to expect.

I didn't feel nervous about the ceremony. I was just worried about how my hair and make up were going to turn out as I didn't have time for a rehearsal. I'm abit of a perfectionist so just wanted everything to be as perfect as it could be. At least that's some then you don't need to worry about!

I can be quite emotional at times. Sometimes over the stupidest things. Such as those donkey sanctuary adverts, or seeing someone else cry, or those DIY SOS Programmes. On the big day though, I didn't shed a tear....my husband however, well that's a different matter! The bottom lip started trembling, and that was it, he was away.

Congratulations, and I hope you both have a lovely day!

Wasn't anxious at all, just excited. Didn't get emotional at all. My husband blubbed like a baby!

Up until we visited the venue the night before (where we encountered problems) I was excited. Once the stress of getting everything ready in time, and the ceremony arrived, I was as calm as I'd ever been.

A word of advice, take 5-10 minutes for yourself during the day.

I was unbelieveably excited, i remember waking up with my hubby on the morning and just lying there saying oooo we get married today!

Our Maid of honour had been up since 6.30am and her status was something like 'why aren't they up yet, it's the wedding day' and we finally got up about 9ish.

Both hubby and I are unbelieveably laid back anyway. As long as we both turned up for the cermony and ended up married, it didn't matter about anything else, it would have been job done.

I don't know why you should feel anxious, I haven't heard that's the norm.

Thanks everyone...


Seems to be a theme of the man crying going on though, we'll see if it happens to me. If someone else starts to cry, that will set me off! Avoid eye contact with parents I think!

I was anxious but thats because my wife is latina and will be late for her own funeral. We were also the last wedding of the day in the registry office which didnt help. I'd lied about what time the car would be coming to collect her.

30 minutes after we were due to start and no sign of her some of the registry office staff say they'll be closing up shop if she didnt arrive within 10 minutes.

45 minutes after we were due to start 2 of the staff left and the registrar said he couldnt wait any longer

47 minutes after we were due to start the photographer ran in saying she'd arrived.

She did leave an hour late, which actually meant she left only 15 minutes late but had gotten stuck in roadworks and the driver "wouldnt let her" take her shoes off and run across the park saying it'd only be a few minutes to drive round.

I wasn't nervous at all but then we married in Italy and didn't have loads of guests to worry about, if cars were going to turn up, flowers right etc etc. Chilled out music on while I was getting ready and I was ready an hour before the makeup woman finished my last witness!
Hubby says he was fine til he spoke to his mum who wasn't there and still insists he didn't cry during the ceremony but the photos tell a different story!!

Calm. The wedding was at one and I didn't get out of bed until half eleven, and then only because my best man dragged me out by my feet.

Nobody cried, not even my mum.
