The absence of nervousness makes me nervous

In less than 15 hours I will be walking down the aisle to get married. Actually, in 15 hours I will have reached the altar and, hopefully, sat down without making too much of a mess of my dress.

Tonight we’ve made the bridal bouquet, the place cards, the placement map, the table decorations, the corsages. We’ve set aside flowers for Bre in case the preacher allows her to enter the church behind me, instead of half an hour before me (!). I’m so glad my mom is here, and that Bre is being so nice and helpful.

I wish we’d be able to go on a honeymoon right away after the wedding. I’d love to go somewhere nice and warm and carefree. I was looking at Hilton Head rentals, and it looks so nice there. But, alas, it will have to wait.

I’m not really nervous. The little nervousness is still mostly about tripping over my dress, or accidentally setting it on fire. Or forgetting what I am supposed to do and when. Which reminds me, I need to make sure I know the Lord’s Prayer properly… I always mix up the sequence of the sentences.

I also forgot to buy new underwear. Yeah. If I don’t find anything nice tomorrow, I will most likely get married wearing panties with skeletons and ghosts on them. Not that anyone will know (except, of course, everyone who reads this…), but still.

Ok. Bed. I have to get up at 7 tomorrow morning to shower and make sure everything is where it is supposed to be.

I can’t believe the day is here! It seems like only a couple of months ago when you got engaged.. I’m sure you won’t trip over your dress and yes, I’ve witnessed a bride needing help from two friends to help her go to the toilet (with me laughing and taking pictures) =D

Be sure to post pictures soon! =D

Hanna’s last blog post..Mmm, summer.

Have you seen 27 Dresses? I think there are at least three shots of a bridesmaid holding the bride’s dress up so she can use the bathroom. :)

It’s 1:50pm here in TX, so I’m guessing you are probably already married!! I hope it was amazing and I can’t wait to hear about it and see pictures. :)

*hugs* You’re the first Sistah to get married as far as I know…

take care!
