Hi everyone, i am getting married in a registry office on tuesday and i am absolutely terrified! It is only a small ceremony, 20 close family and friends, no readings and no 'walking down the aisle' I have shortened the vows to be as small as legally possible but i still have to stand in front of people and speak which is something that terrifies me. the thing is, i had no idea that nerves could make me feel so *N! whenever i try the dress on or do anything wedding-related i start feeling awful, shakey, n* and i get a lump in my throat, which is always a huge deal to me because of the emet, i am really worried about the day.. worried that when i try to say my vows the lump in my throat and the *N will make me *V or make me unable to speak (i NEVER talk when i feel *N, i keep my mouth firmly shut and don't move until it passes)
Does anyone have any advice for me? anyone been in a similar situation? wedding? public speaking? etc.. It's only a 10 minute ceremony! but i am literally petrified, i have lots of anxiety on top of the emet, social situations scare the hell out of me, any help would be appreciated..
