PIPM: Pretty in Pink Megan: Two Questions For Ya ...

Two Questions For Ya ...

Am I the only one who :
1) Didn't like Slumdog Millionaire? Rob and I tried to watch this tonight and I made him turn it off after 30 minutes. He was absolutely enthralled and I was cutting my cuticles and playing with my iCalendar on my phone. I did not find it entertaining or remotely interesting at all, which is surprising to me because I am all about indie films, just not this one.

2) Could possibly be having a pre-wedding anxiety attack? Not because I don't want to get married, but because of the sheer fear I have that something will not go right, someone will not show up, or something will not go as planned? A wedding is such a big production that takes the work of so many different people and vendors. I am starting to have mini panic attacks that something will not work out. As the date inches closer and closer I find myself worrying more and more that something will go wrong. I am finding myself thinking, "well if it were just a month or two later I could do this ... " ... Am I the only one that's felt this way?

On point 1: I haven't seen so no comment.

On point 2: I personally had a low stress destination wedding, but have been in countless big weddings and it's normal. You're just experience wedding jitters but not marriage jitters. That's much better than the inverted.

As long as the big things go smoothly ( I'm sure you're working with professionals with experience so they will) , the small things won't be a big deal. The only people who know the small details are you, your planner, and a few friends and family members. No one will notice except you. and even you might not. Some of the girls I been in wedding for have had to ask later if I noticed this or that because she didn't.

Just remember the only things people are really looking at a wedding is the beautiful bride, and on that day you get to be her!

1. I'm seeing it Wednesday so I hope it's not too boring!

2. I though my MOH before her wedding put it best. I asked if she was nervous and she said, "about getting married? goodness no, that's exciting! I am nervous because I'm throwing the biggest party I've ever planned!"

That's the way it was for me too, so many things that could go wrong (and only one, not so big, thing did!).

Re: SM, R. and I have never been less excited to see a Best Picture. We're huge film geeks, and just think this will be clichéd and exploitative. Apparently there's a huge backlash against this movie in India because it perpetuates so many stereotypes.

As for wedding cold feet, I can't bring myself to make plans, even though we're deliriously happy together. Weird.

i definitely had a mini-meltdown about a week before. it scared me to have someone other than myself taking care of any of the important details. i basically planned everything myself so i felt like for anything to executed the way i saw it...then i had to do it. but in the end, i didn't have time to think about and most everything got done.
stuff went wrong. my cake was the WRONG COLOR but at that point i really didn't care.
so just try and breathe and enjoy the mayhem!! planning any party in the future will seem like a breeze after this one.

1. I can't believe you didn't like it. I loved it. Maybe you just have too much on your mind to really watch it.

2. I had the same stress and fears. I would have nightmares twice a week about everything going terribly wrong. One thing to remember that the day of if something goes wrong people probably won't notice and there is nothing you can do to change it so its not worth streessing yourself out.

2. Having had such a lot of disasters at my own wedding (some self induced by bad planning, some just sheer bad luck), my advice would be would be just be kind to yourself.

I know the wedding is a huge deal to you, but you can only do so much to make sure that all goes right. Even the best laid plans go awry some times, and if some little thing should go wrong on the big day, do yourself a favour, don't stress too much about it and ruin the day for yourself over small matters.

The high liklihood is that your day will be fantastic. But, for me at least, I can look back on my many disasters on my wedding day and laugh about them heartily. I remember them more clearly now than all the things that went right!

It's perfectly natural to have the pre-wedding jitters b/c the day of is not something that you can control. It's under the control of the people you've hired. It will all turn out fine in the end. Just try to relax as much as possible! I know that's easier said than done.

i was married last june & i know i started to feel the same way. i had to have a "pep talk" with myself everyday and realize that i can't control "most" things (even though i think i can!:). just remember that you are getting married & it is going to be the best day of your life! have fun & enjoy it!

Hi there!
Can't comment on the Slumdog movie, but the jitters are SO normal! The best thing to do is to always have a plan B- if you can- that way you already know what you are going to do in worse case scenarios. Enjoy your day to the fullest- I can't wait to see pics!

Petunia said...

From what I heard about that movie I will NOT watch it! Sounds depressing!!!
It's okay to worry about the wedding! Everything will be fine--don't sweat the small stuff. No one will even notice!

Cameron said...

First, yes...you are the only one who didn't like Slumdog Millionaire :)

Second, planning a wedding is extremely stressful. There is a chance something will go not as planned on your wedding day...but I promise you won't even notice because you will be so happy on your big day. Most likely, however, it will all come together in the end and be perfect. Not too much longer...just enjoy!!

I totally agree with part 2...I always think that I'm going to have some type of anxiety attack, because something is going to go wrong. But I'm just trying to know that and be okay with that.

Never been a bride, but as a veteran bridesmaid, it's pretty natural to feel like there is always a bit more to do, but the weddings are always lovely. Don't worry, it will go brilliantly!

Ashley Turner said...

Haven't seen Slumdog yet... is it that bad???
I'm having those same fears... it kills me that I have to actually participate in the wedding. I was formerly an event planner so I am used to being behind the scenes, not the star of the show... nervy!!! Try to be happy with your choices and be easy-going and flexible. Ultimately SOMETHING will go wrong... good luck!
