I am not typically a nervous person, and as the day went on and the ceremony grew closer I became a nervous wreck! I don't like to be the center of attention and I especially do NOT like to talk in front of people. So the thought of standing up in front of 200 people made me extremely anxious. After the ceremony, I was no longer anxious about being in front of people.. my mood changed to stressed. I felt like I was being pulled in 100 different directions at once. I couldn't eat... I tried, and every time I took a bite I thought I was going to throw up. Matter of fact, I did throw up 2 or 3 times. Looking back on it, I really wish I could have just calmed down. I definitely would have enjoyed myself more.
Besides being anxious/stressed, the weather was something that we were not sure of for the entire week before the wedding. The ceremony was supposed to be outside, and although it did not end up raining we pulled the ceremony inside because it was so cold and windy. This would have been fine, however with the way it was set up people at the tables could not see the ceremony. And no one told my dad that there was chairs set up right in front of Mike and I for family (to make sure they could see).. so after walking me down the aisle my dad went back to his table and couldn't see the rest of the ceremony! Fortunately, the ceremony was only about 5 minutes so people really didn't miss a whole lot!
Throughout the whole thing, I kept a smile on my face! I really did have a good time and it was so good to see friends and family that I had not seen in a long time.
