Small Wedding Due To Nervousness

Hi, Cin --

We`ve created & performed many such intimate weddings, & they`re among our favorites. BTY, where & when are you getting married?

As for crying, please don`t worry about this. Have a tissue on you, & give some freedom to your emotions at your wedding.

Have a gorgeous & happy wedding!

Hi Bonnie,
I am hoping to get married this summer (either July or August), and it would be taking place in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Hi, there...

I`m positng this because I had a small wedding because my husband-to-be was very, very shy. I planned a very small ceremony (less than 50 people who were all relatives or very close friends). I didn`t want him to be uncomfortable at our own wedding! It worked out nicely. We were both very happy with it. Our wedding had all the traditional trimmings, but very few guests. Good luck to you!

Bonnie,
I can`t help with the wedding size. But as far as crying goes, if you do you do! I really thought I would be a basket case...At the rehersal I balled walking down the asile, at the rehersal dinner I was sobbing through the thank you speech....the next day I was teary as I got my hair done. When I got dressed anyone who walked in, my Mom, my Dad, my Aunt, my Godmother(well you get the idea) I started crying.But once I was dressed and everything started happening I never shed another tear. My husband was teary when my Dad gave him my hand at the alter, but that was the last of our tears! So you just don`t know, but like I said if you do you do, isn`t anything wrong with that it is a very emotional time and everyone knows that! Good Luck!

Should have asked whether you`re planning an indoor or outdoor wedding.

I have some ideas on how to minimize the "center of attention" fear. If you`d like to send me a direct email along w/ any more info you can offer about your plans so far, I`d be happy to send these ideas along to you.

Meanwhile, a very simple, general suggestion: think of what will probably make you most fearful/nervous, & then refuse to include these elements in your wedding!

Wow. I wish I could do a small ceremony (at least under one hundred). I have a huge Italian family that doesn`t understand what I mean by small! I have never wanted to elope like I do now!

Here is what I think about tears...
People expect you to cry a little. The more you cry, the more they cry, everybody crys happy tears. It think it is sweet.

Gina..
*lol* eloping is lookig more and more appealing...

Cin...
My fiance and I are planning a wedding with only 50 people. The thing about weddings is that SO much money is spent on them where you could be making a downpayment on a house! Or a new car! That`s aside from the point...as far as weddings go...you want small, and diverted center of attention? Then plan a destination wedding...tke your parents, his folks, any siblings, and maybe* a few close friends...and run off to a bed and breakfast in Vermont or someplace tropical...everybody will be so taken by the scenery and the "vacation" feeling that they wont fuss over you guys as much. As far as crying goes...I cry over EVERYTHING...my emotions seem to take over without giving me notice...Ive just learned to accept that Im emotional...and its alright...get waterproof mascara ;)
That said, enjoy your day, because this day is YOURS and you should do what you want to, not what others expect you to ;)
Blessings!

Thanks for the ideas everyone!!
We would like to have an outdoor ceremony, and if it rains that day, we`d still like to have it outside, but under a tent. (as long as it`s not blowing like crazy).
I live in Nova Scotia, Canada, and it is SOOOO hard to predict the weather here. My bf and I have discussed destination weddings, but unfortunately, he will not agree because he is scared to death of planes and boats. Anything we do will have to be around our area.
As for the crying....LOL I guess i`m not scared about actually shedding a tear, I`m afraid of going completely out of control and blubbering like crazy! I hope I have more self control than that though!
