Mother of the Bride anxiety
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi lovely ladies. Help needed please. My daughter is getting married this weekend and this is one event I can't get out of! I've got the dress, shoes, handbag and hat. But what I haven't got is me, the calm, organised confident me that I used to be. I'm excited but soooo nervous and anxious. It's away from home so not able to retreat to place of comfort. I'm suffering from the hot flashes and my hands are so cold and clammy I'm dreading having to shake hands with the other guests.
I'm trying to be brave for my daughter but I'm wishing it was all over when I should be looking forward to it.
Any tips please for getting through the day.

Hi Looloo, well I did take paracetamol but I was so hot the whole time it was difficult to tell but I don't recall any major hot sweats. I felt a bit manic at times when liitle things went awry, ( I forgot my 6 year old grandaughters flower girl shoes and hubby had to do a 90 minute round trip to go home for them!). And brides baby daughter had a dirty nappy incident over her dress! But all in all we can laugh about it now and we all had a great day! The prosecco helped! xx

Perhaps the paracetomol did help a little then if you didnt have any major hot sweats in addition to a couple of stressful incidents!!! when i read your post i thought "oh no!!!" when i read the bit about your daughters dress incident with the nappy!! its great you can see the funny side of it all now, but i bet it was a 'mare at the time!! a glass of red wine is my stress reliever (but only on a saturday evening!!) xxx
