And the Wedding Disaster Nightmares Begin!


I’m starting to have nightmares! I still have way over a year before we say our vows and I’m already having nightmares about what could go wrong!

Last night I dreamt I was at the church which looked more like the lounge area of a bathroom. I peeked through the double doors and saw a ton of people. I was somewhat confused until I suddenly realized they were most likely waiting for me! I did not have my bridesmaids, maid of honor, no one with me, I was in my dress but nothing else was prepared! I peeked again through the door and caught my mothers’ attention. She ran out to see me and started rushing me along.
“Come on, are you ready? They’re waiting for you!”

She started to open the doors when I panicked and silently shouted; “Wait! My veil! My hair isn’t done!”
My mom throws the veil in my hair and tells me it looks fine (even in my dreams my mother doesn’t change). I then notice that I have hardly any make-up on.

“Mom, do you have any lipstick I could borrow?” “I should, check my purse”.
And she does an orangey-pink which I tried to put on as subtle as possible. I look in the mirror and I looked ridiculous but by the time I realized it, my mom threw open the doors. I stepped back an inch or two to mouth to my mother I did not have a bouquet to hold!
She starts to walk down to her seat, she turns and says (with all the confidence in the world); “its okay, you don’t need it”.
Yeah, sure, easy for you to say; you don’t have to face everyone with and orange mess on your face.

As I stand there in shock for a moment or two trying to figure out what to do with my hands. Should I fold them or walk with them by my side?! I just started walking. No music, no maids, no flowers, no makeup (except for the orange/pink on my lips), no hair style, no clue.

I remember walking down the aisle and hearing everyone gasp as I walked by. I don’t even recall making it to the altar. I do remember asking my mother why everyone was aghast and she said; “because your dress is so stunning.” I was speechless because I knew better than that; it was clearly the ill-equipped bride walking down the aisle. Ugh.

How come the majority of your dream dealt with your mom? I'm innocent! I do not even own orangey-pinkish lipstick...it sounds gross. I would never throw your veil on and expect my girlie-girl to stroll down the isle on her BIG DAY with a messy veil and no bouqet. How preposterous! And Lord knows that YOU know how I feel about make-up! I would make certain you were all dolled up (but not over done) for your new hubby-to-be! Don't be anxious honey...everything will be wonderful! Your wedding will be perfect and you will look GORGEOUS!!! I LUV you...mama XXXOOO
