Nerves on
your wedding day are totally normal and natural. In fact, I always say to
Brides and Grooms to expect butterflies and a rush of adrenaline.
Getting
married can be overwhelming. And for a lot of people there are so many
stressful decisions and expenses. This
coupled with the excitement of the day can lead to an overwhelming feeling of
nervous tension.
In my
experience, the longer the groom and the guests are waiting on the brides
arrival, the more that nervous tension can escalate.
For most people
tears and laughter are a great way to release nervous tension. Suppressing tears can lead to even more
anxiety so I encourage to you let it go.

As a
celebrant, I like to open the ceremony with a lighthearted introduction. Laughter not only reduces tension, but when
laughter is shared it binds people together, increases happiness and
imtimacy in the ceremony. With the injection of a small amount of
humour, there is an instant change of mood.

The hardest part is the anticipation of waiting for the ceremony to begin. Once the
ceremony has started take a moment to take a breath and take it all in because you will want to remember this moment for the rest of you life. .
