3 Days to My Wedding - Any Advice?
Ask a Question
3 days to my big day. Getting married to the love of my life. 54 years old now but still rather nervous. One minute I'm overjoyed, the next I'm thinking about those that I lost that won't be there. Also concerned my neighbour with personality disorder is going to do something crazy to try to spoil the day. All advice welcome.
You’re over thinking about it. Enjoy the day. There’s too many other things in life to worry about a happy occasion.
Why waste energy and head space on things that may never happen? You cannot bring back those you have lost, nor can you anticipate what your neighbour may do or not do. With any luck she may be intimidated by your guests and keep clear. Maybe designate a male guest to keep an eye out and deal with it if it happens, it is not for the bride to deal with.
Positive thoughts please and enjoy your day. You are lucky to have found the love of your life, I envy you having been alone since mid eighties. Best Wishes.
Lynibis Great advice Lynbis, it was hard to see the obvious solutions as I've been overthinking the whole thing.
Don't waste time worrying about things. Just enjoy the lead up to the big day. You should be excited about what is to come and not worry about things you can't control. Good luck for your special day.
MrsCraig Thank you MrsCraig. They're right when they say getting married is one of the most stressful times. It is out of my control, so I am going to try to just go with the flow.
EmmaWright762 weddings are very stressful! I still remember how stressed I was and I've been married for 9 years. Don't overthink things, just go with it.
Enjoy the day .If someone plays up I am sure someone else will have your back.Don't let anybody spoil things.It'll be great I'm sure.
Not experienced marriage myself but one thing that always sticks out to me is how brides tell me they didn’t actually enjoy their wedding day all that much due to stressing. Obvious one but try to enjoy it as much as you can!
jms19 I thoroughly enjoyed my wedding day. Everyone else was stressing. It rained, I didn't care, told my dad to get his big golf umbrella. Flowers were 5 minutes late and my mum was stressing and I said we just won't have bouquets then. As long as I ended the day married I didn't care what went wrong. We had the best wedding day ever. 9 years ago next month. Would happily do it all again, apart from the expense of it.
Congratulations! I would take deep breaths/choose to release all concerns. Maybe it would help to put photos of those who won't be there physically together in a frame or some kind of container and bring them with you to the wedding. It could help you feel closer to them 
I'm sure it will all turn out just fine, think positive thoughts and just have the best day ever

Congratulations to you both. My wedding was many moons ago and for some reason I was really calm. My wedding car broke down outside my house, a neighbour offered to take me in the back of her car. She said she would remove the dog blankets ! I waited for a replacement car. Still I didnt panic. Just enjoy YOUR day. You can’t be responsible for your neighbour and hopefully other people know their condition. Things can go wrong but with all your preparations you can’t stop some things. My niece got married, age under 30 to a man older than her dad. At the speeches her new husband said ‘ When I first my new wife at a bar, I thought she was a prostitute and she was picking me up’ You will hard to top that one. Have fun and relax.
Congratulations Enjoy the day, but even if things go wrong on its not the end of the world and will make a good story. Just remember you are marrying the love of your life and the wedding itself is only one day.
