I'm worried about my nephew doing it actually, I think he'll be overwhelmed. I told his mum to stand at the alter and wave a choccie bar for him haha maybe someone can do that :P

CommentAuthorMrsd2b
Ah Nicola, i was married before and i was exactly the same, i was terrified! even right up to standing at church doors i was nearly crying with fear, but once the music started i put on a huge smile...then my dad started cracking jokes to me as we started walking..he even said half way down aisle come on lets run and make em giggle (i didnt ofc) but he took my mind of it all and it was a breeze after that... You will look beautiful and draw gasps from everyone enjoy it!! xx

CommentAuthorWalesfromafar
Before you set off take a deep breath in. Lift your collar bone up and out and feel your shoulder blades relax down and closer together. Hold your head as if you've got a piece of string right on the top of it. You'll look absolutely fabulous and it honestly relaxes you. Smile and you're there. I know it's not that simple but just try practising that x
Thanks Wales, i think i might just do that - Im really nervous. I have weak ankles and they buckle all the time.- im dreading walking down the aisle in fear of it going then. x x
CommentAuthorL JO

It is my big fear too. You are not the only one that is scared about it and I also hate having my pics taken but the way I see it if I don't like them I don't have to show them anyone haha.

CommentAuthorHoxxyhula
I'm half nervous about being the centre of attention, but suspect that I might start to enjoy it in the end (maybe too much!!)

CommentAuthorNHR115
I'm not looking forward to it either - I'm a bit concerned how me and my Dad will manage to fit down the aisle together. lol. xx
CommentAuthorDeeC
I'm exactly the same. I am really shy and quiet and the thought of walking down the aisle, taking pics and talking to people all day scares the life out of me!! I was asking someone the other day if it would be silly to carry my 2 yr old (will be 4 by then) down the aisle with me to hide behind!!
CommentAuthorkrazykitty
i was singing at my local mencap with two others and they have us walk down to the front before we sing and that was the most nerve wracking experience and they all love us cos we sing their favourite songs!! and it made me think if i was this scared in front of poeple doing something as unimportant as singing what will i be like walking down the aisle knowing all eyes are on me n that i have to speak very important words!! argh am sooo scared and iv got ages yet!!!!!!!!
i cannot wait to marry my best friend
i love you ry!!!

CommentAuthorLiz3yy
I would imagine that being in your dress, being pampered and looked after plus all dolled up with hair and make up, you'll look amazing, enjoy the attention and remember that the people there are looking at you because you look fit! lol ;)
Can't wait until the day I become Mrs. Johnson :)
CommentAuthorcuddlez80
i am very self concious and hate being centre of attention so im dreading it and talking out loud in public oh and 1st dance im also easily embarassed by speeches im also hoping it wont be too much for my autistic daughter whos my bridesmaid although im giving her a big basket of petals as thats what she thinks her job is
CommentAuthorbluefish
You could 'practice' on a day when you're feeling relaxed and happy - maybe it will rub off.
Get the music you are going to use and play it and get used to it. Try walking in your heels. Do a few silly walks just to make it less serious.
On the day, look at the individual faces - peope you love and who love you.
CommentAuthorcuddlez80
iv been told to focus on the vicar or organ it worked for my sister
CommentAuthorHonest John!
Its an old trick but it works for me when i am giving speeches or presenting at work, imagine that the whole audience are just wearing their underware, and taht they look silly, other wise try to remember that all the people there are there to see how wonderful you look, so hold your head up smile and be proud, its your big day, there are plenty of otherthings to worry about.
CommentAuthorHonest John!
I was going out witha girl once many years ago and we were in a local cinema watching predator,and she told me taht she would love to walk down the aisle, i paused for thought and replied, well you could fetch me a bag a crisps, or an ice cream, she took teh huuf and went home.
CommentAuthornic_87

CommentAuthorClairebear67
Hi Nicola, First of all congratulations and welcome in, I too have been married before and was absolutely petrified at the thought of walking down the aisle, you feel like the walk is going to take forever, but just think of your h2b and concentrate on him while you take slow steady steps towards him, I put virtual blinkers on and looked dead ahead of me as thought i was going to fall to pieces if anyone looked at me. : ) You will be fine, you will look beautiful. Nothing to worry about honest. : ) If it was that bad would we put ourselves through it again. : ) x
CommentAuthorStave
Even though I have to admit that I am crapping my pants, in case I fall or the fact that my big butt will touch each sides of the pews and my dad wont fit with me. I cant wait and hope that I go slow enough to enjoy every single nano- second of the journey.
CommentAuthorHelen
i'm not looking forward to being looked at either !! I hate getting dressed up and going out lol x Hate having my photo taken, i take the photos i'm never in them ! I'm also struggling with not being in charge on the day, I won't have time to go to venue to check if everything is where it should be, people won't let me go and deliver things there etc, i even suggested getting a stand in bride, so i can run around and be in control lol x
CommentAuthorshellay
i am dreading it, i hate being the centre of attention, i wont be able to speak as my voice always seems to disappear, and i hate having photographs taken, its going to be so scarey :) x
