    My absolute biggest wedding fear is that the photographer loses our pictures (or they somehow become destroyed) and we have nothing! I have nightmares about it!

    My biggest fear is that the FH’s ex-wife won’t let their son come to the wedding. I would be crushed, I don’t know if we’d go ahead with the wedding. The other fear, just as real of a fear and just as strong, is that my Dad will have a heart attack before the wedding, he’s a heart patient so this is also a real fear.

    My biggist fear is………..that I forget something really important and obvious like getting my hair done, hiring a photography, or ordering the cake.

    I am very much afraid that for some reason we are not able to make the final payment on our reception site! Another big fear is that our photographer doesn’t show up or our photos are somehow ruined.

    Great topic!

    My fear is that my fiance’s divorced parents who hate each other will cause a big scene…

    I’m afraid that no one will bring food and our potluck idea will be a complete ruin!

    My fear is that people will leave thinking “that was an ok wedding.” I want them to have the best. time. EVER!

    that something horrible happens with my future mil and she has a breakdown and is sobbing, or drunk, and cries for her dead husband, during the wedding, because it would be heartbreaking, and embarassing and my fiancee only deserves happiness

    that my godmother’s husband wants to dance with me… I really wish he’d understand not to come to the wedding at all (it’s not like I can not invite him), I’ve never liked him… in my cousin’s wedding he practuically dragged me onto the dance floor and was obnoxious. Will not want to dance with him but really don’t want any scenes at the wedding… I think I will ask my bridesmaids to guard me. ;)

    My fear is that my skin won’t be under control when I get married. I worry about having a bad breakout on the big day.

    I’ll lose my job and won’t have the time or money for a wedding :-/

    That everyone will show up and we won’t have enough space or food. OR that no one will show up and the whole thing will flop and we’ll have all this extra food.

    I am afraid it won’t all come together!! The list of things to do keeps getting longer and I have my trust in so many people. I hope no one flakes and nothing falls through the cracks.

    My fear is that it will rain on my wedding day (It’s in May so I’m a little scared) and that I wont pay for everything in time!

    I’m afraid I’ll call my fiance by my ex’s name in front of lots of people. I haven’t slipped yet, but it could happen…

    I’m afraid my mother will make a huge scene… My mother is a huge drama queen (I mean… Really really bad. She and I don’t have a good relationship and I don’t want her to come to the wedding AT ALL, but my dad and my fiance both tell me that if I don’t invite her I’ll regret it). I’m afraid she and her jerk boyfriend will make a big scene and she’ll start crying and talking about what an awful person I am and I’m going to have to throw her out, which will be even worse because I’m having a destination wedding.

    Because of the times we are having a small family wedding. my biggest fear is that i will regret not going all out and having ALL the people i love there to witness this and to dance and laugh and drink and cry with…it was a really hard decision. that and the fact that i might let loose and fly off the handle at my mother in law to be and cause permanent damage to our relationship – she is driving me friggin NUTS.

    I’m afraid of this economy, but at the same time it has given me opportunities to think outside the box. I am thankful our wedding is not until October, which gives me enough time to be frugal.

    I’m afraid that I’ll completely regret my wedding day (not getting married) because I wont have things the way I’d like them due to money constraints. I’m kind of an all or nothing type person when it comes to things like this and I’m not exactly ok with spending thousands of dollars on stuff I’m not really gonna like. Then again, I’m not ok with dragging my future husband into debt over a party. Oh the conundrum!

    I understand how you feel (philosophica).I have expensive taste and I can’t help what I like. I don’t want to spend money on it if I don’t like it. I did not settle when it came to picking the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with and I don’t want to settle now. It’s all or nothing. We do not have a house yet, and are still renting. I can’t stand the idea of spending all this money on one day. Will I have a good time if we spend it all? Yes. Will I be happy when its over and we’re broke? NO!!!! I will be just as happy with a very small (cash saving) wedding. and even happier after the wedding knowing we are so very close to having a down payment for a home.

    I’m afriad that my arms will look fat and I will be ugly in all the pictures (I have a strapless dress) and that it will look cheap instead of simple and elegant.
