"Nightmares" ??
So for the last couple weeks I have at least a once a week occurence of a "Wedding Nightmare." Lame I know ...
Last night, in my dream my hairdresser and makeup artist didn't show up so I was literally wigging out in my dream.
The funny thing is I am definately not one of those hardcore brides where every detail has to be perfect. I am pretty relaxed and have pawned much of the work off on to eager family members. I don't feel that stressed about the wedding. I am about 25% looking forward to the wedding (and all of that is the fact that I marrying my best friend) and the other 75% of my excitement is for the honeymoon.
Did any of you have "wedding nightmares" ?

Re: "Nightmares" ??
Yes, I had a few, and I wasn't an uptight bride (I don't think!). In one, everything that could go wrong, did- we realized the morning of the wedding we forgot to send the invites, the hotel doube-booked us and we had to get married outside, in Banff, in February, and it started to hail, my dress fell off during my walk up the aisle...
The second was the worst nightmare I've ever had. It was so realistic and over five years later I still remember every detail. It was the morning of the wedding, and I was dressed and ready to go, and nobody could find my husband. They were all freaking out that he got cold feet and left, but I wasn't worried because I knew he wouldn't leave me. I figured he must have lost his tux or his car broke down or something. The time ticked on and I was calm and relaxed while everyone around me was a nervous wreck. My dad turned on the TV for something to kill the time, and they were showing live footage of a fiery car crash on the highway. The cameraman zoomed in on them scraping my husband up off the pavement. The dream ended there, and it was horrible. I'll never forget it.
I had many. By the time my wedding was over I was relieved. I was an uptight bride. Not that everything had to be too perfect but because my mom, MIL and everyone around me was going insane. My phone would ring 12 times in an hour with another problem. The seating chart litterally caused me nightmares. I must've done it four times when I finally thought I had it my FIL called me in tears (not kidding) over how I had his siblings sitting and said "I realized that you have this kid Thomas sitting with his parents if you move him to the kids table than we can move so and so to sit with Thomas' parents and then you can move these people to sit together and that way my siblings can all sit together."
" We can't move Tommy. He's two"
"Well what if we put him at this table that way he fills up the table and we can move that couple over."
"I am not moving him to a table full of strangers. He is TWO YEARS OLD"
"you aren't being reasonable."
And it went along that vain for an hour. In order to get his family sitting the way he wanted I had to scrap the whole seating chart and had decided to say "sit where you want" Then MIL and mom started freaking out on me saying that at a formal function you can't do that. Then my grandmother called and yelled at me for being so lazy about it. I reworked that chart 50 times and dreampt about it almost every night for two months.
I only had I think 2 the entire engagement (which was only 8 months). In one, I was standing at the alter and had recollection of the last 8 months. I had been in a coma but DH had taken care of everything and it turned out alright.
I think I had more AFTER the wedding about the wedding which is odd.
