i am wondering what to feel when for example; it will be your wedding day tomorrow. did you ever thought to run yourself away from that event or cannot sleep because feeling so excited about it. i do not have any idea what to feel really feel even i were attending lots of wedding ceremonies of my friends before. hmm, as a bride or groom, will they march with teary-eyed, because as i watched such event, it will tear my heart with unexplainable reasons and wanted to cry seeing them in the celebration from first part to last. that is why i want to know what it would be or what you felt during your wedding day. thanks :) sharing your experience on this regard will be highly appreciated, thank you!

I think there wont be any wedding like mine. The day before, the wedding day and the day next. All these three days were totally an experience for me. Frankly speaking, I didn't got any time to have such an experience, that is the real fact. My wife house is far way from my own home town. Initially we planned to book some rooms in a hotel. However, my brothers marriage was just 3 days before my marriage and as both the marriage happened in different nearby dates, it was a hard time to manage everything and I got leave only few days before the marriage, my brother was arranging everything. We arranged 3 tourist buses to travel for bride's place and the marriage place was far away from her residence also. We had to travel about 14 hrs. by bus and reached early morning at brides wedding place. The night travel was so tiring and I was sleeping all the night as the day time we were spend lavishly by singing and enjoying. The wedding took place around 10-11 time and after the reception we left the place immediately within 1-2 hrs. time. We returned on the same bus as the special decorated car used only for 2-3 hrs as there was no company to enjoy. So, we traveled throughout the night and reached around 3:30 am at my home. As there is a specific time to enter the home and it was any time only after 5:30 and we had to wait out side the home and it was a rubber estate and from 3:30 to 5:30 we all were waited outside in the estate alongwith some of my friends and family friends. We got some chairs to sit and spend the rest of the time till early morning. So, those functions got over. As my invitees are brought to the bird's place and there was my brother's wedding before 3 days, there was no special reception at my home for the invited people. Again, there was another wedding on my nearby house and we were invited there to attend the wedding. I was so sleepy and we attended the other wedding and we were invited for dinner at one of my friends home. It was my mom's wish for us to visit a temple in the nearby town and after the lunch we gone to the temple and one of my elder brother was staying nearby to the temple and we rested for sometime and were decided to return my friends home in the night. However, unexpectedly it was raining after 6 in the evening and we could not travel by a bus. So we waited for some more time and due to heavy rains and other climatic problems, the travel become so tiring and the phone also was not working due the rains and lighting. Any way, we managed to reach my friend's home around 11 in the night and their home was on the top of a hill, where we had to walk around 3-4 kms. and we got fully wet with our wedding dress! When we reach at my friend's home, they were slept assuming that we won't come as it was raining. They waited upto 10 in the night (we were expected to reach there around 7-8) and once we were not reached, and they got some extra guests also, there was not much food also left behind. Any way, they prepared some snacks and coffee for us and we started talking and singing till 2-3 early morning. After some time, we gone for sleep and there was no power supply none of us could sleep and we spend the time like that. So to just write 1-2 lines as my comment, I narrated the whole story. Any way, now you can imaging what is the previous day experience and day after experience of my WEDDING...

Hi, First of all let me thank you for taking time to read all my experience written in so bad language. When I was writing it, my wife was around me and I told her that, see now after so many years, I am repeating all those days here to my myLot friend and we were laughing and lauging, and even my children also accompanied and I narrated all the week-full of experience to my children too. In fact it was full of tiring days as again after 2-3 days I had to go back to my wife's place and staying over her place, visit 10-15 relatives places, come back to my place again then visit my 15-20 different relative places (which all are far way like 25-75 kms.) distance and back at home every day. The worst thing was that I could not extend my office leave as I was instructed to not to extend the leave and I returned 8 days after the wedding to my city, where the office was a distance of 1200 kms. away from my native place. Anyway, settled all after 15-20 days but my marriage memories are really a rare thing as compared to other people. This is also a different soft of experience with regard to a person's marriage life. ahahah Thanks and regards, have a good day.

your wedding was so unique really. even me here, cannot believe it that you and the rest spent it travelling all around. that was so tiring as i presumed. but see, how happy you are now as you tell it again and again to different persons you met along the way. i guess, you enjoyed a bit of it. if that time will being rewind and played it forwardly in a very past manner, all of you acted like a caricature; walking there, here and back and forth, riding all over the places, changing clothes, attending weddings and such. see, that would be so fun. i am amused in here too with your story and uttered what kind of wedding would that be. you should be at you honeymoon in a place but spent it roaming around to every place and corner of your place. oh em gee. hmm, your english is alright. no one has the right to correct or criticize here in mylot for everyone is welcome to express our opinions but only rephrasing it according to the guidelines given here to avoid abuses of the site. thanks for answering this discussion :) thank you

wow this is so great. that wedding was full of travelling time and of walking, funny and i guess so tiring too. imagine, how many hours you used just to reach the wedding place and after that gone to the venue. and then you managed to attend another wedding at the nearby house. and walk uphill to reach the house of your friend soaked with rain waters. how everyone managed the moment without a power supply when you need to sleep? your wedding time was so rare really. your consumed the time travelling back and forth just to reach the wedding place and the venue. how busy you got there that time. imagine, your brothers wedding in three days and before that, being invited by a friend for another wedding. gee, almost half of the week being spent with wedding ceremonies of yours, friends and of your brothers. but amazing, all being managed even lots of hurdles along the way accompanied you all. i am totally amazed and amused with what happened during the week of your wedding. but i guess glad it was all done and if you remember the experiences, i bet you will just smile of the thought... thanks so much for joining in this discussion. :)

Hi missjahn, I am new user for myLot. and I am a Chinese. Nice to meet you! As a married woman, I can tell you the feeling before my wedding day. Firstly, forget my poor english and hope you can understand what I want to say. I wasn't very excited and I can sleep well. because I will receive relatives and friends on wedding days. It seems that the wedding ceremonies is used to get gift(money) and not bless newbies. Oh, it is difficult to express my meanings in English. So sorry....

Hi missjahn, You are so nice and a kind-hearted girl. You must can find your Mr. Right and have an unforgettable wedding party. God bless you!! I am so shamed to speak English with others. so I barely speak with my France colleague. But in the international company, english is necessary. You say English is not your native language, but in my opinion, you are good at english enough. I guess you are European people, am I right? Thanks for your encouragement and I will do my best to communicate with others in English. From replying the message.

The day before my wedding, I was so nervous and could not sleep at all and then on top of that was trying to get wedding favors ready for my guest and getting myself ready. I had my bridesmaids with me and we were just having fun and talking and all that. That was the day before my wedding. The day of my wedding, I was a bit calm surprisingly, I guess I got rid of all my nerves the night before my husband on the other hand was a nervous wreck. The day just seemed like a big dream and went by as a blur. But I enjoyed every minute of it. It was a wonderful day that I'll always remember. I was so tired though too, cause I stayed up late the night before.

I haven't been married so I guess I will be very anxious and nervous if it will be my wedding day tomorrow. I think I will be thinking how will I look if I started to walk down the aisle. Probably I'll be thinking of such crazy things like "what if I stumble in the middle of the aisle?" "what if I started to cry, will my make-up smudge?" I guess there will be a thousand and one question that will circle in my mind. But the most important part I guess is on how I will make my wedding day so memorable which I will treasure for the years to come.

marriage is a state of life where a man and woman bind themselves together to have their own family to start a new phase in life away from their biological families most probably. it happened only once in our lives to us christians. that is why, this event is very important and memorable to each one of us. like you, even of my age, i am still single. i want to make that day next year for i am engaged already for now. i do not have any idea on what would it be in having that kind of celebration in my life nor what things to do first and next and next. - but i guess, like everyone else, everybody has a first time. it could be learned during that time and be able to comply it to successful one. it should be done rightly even not perfectly because as we keep on saying that is one of the memorable happenings ever happened in human's life. we'll figure it out in the future. then share it with me. thanks for joining into this discussion. :)

wow - feeling romantic with that. oh yes, sometimes new responsibilities in the row and in our life scared us. but there is nothing to be worried about for the thing that is not yet unseen and visible. let us try to organize and adopt what we have during the moment for sure, our tomorrow is being planned by God already, just ask Him for help and guidance, more in this thing after wedding day. well, for sure, during our wedding day in the future, we cannot avoid not to cry. a feeling because at long last we can be with our love one eternally as what we are hoping to happened as we exchanging vows in front of the Almighty. thanks for sharing your thoughts and of your feelings in here. i owe you one :)

i guess so, depending on you or to your friends if they are eager to give it to you. i knew a friend doing that but what i am not certain of was the arrangement of the program and what are they doing in that kind of party really. great that you may feel that way during that time because it means to say that, you are really serious of what might gonna happened in your life thereafter the event occurred. thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings :)

I remember I couldn't sleep well before the wedding day. My feelings were quite complicated. I felt excited, happy, nervous, worried and so on. After all, wedding is a very important issue in our lives. We hope it to be perfect and we also want our marriage can last forever. When I thought about it a lot, I just couldn't fall asleep. I love China

i cannot imagine myself at your foot, excited with the event and to new things that might happened during marriage life and at the same time anxious with to the life ahead and worried about things that is not visible yet. but as you said, the most important after being married is how to keep it more stronger and tie the bonds as to face the circumstances along with your husband and kids. we should be decisive enough to take the courage that life is full of surprises ever at all times that is why prepare yourselves to anything that might comes in your way. thanks for sharing your thoughts in here, appreciated it much :)

i never really had a grand wedding... but i did had jitters in my stomach, i guess that is natural in any event.
@missjahn (4574)

17 Aug 12
oh yes, i guess for me, as long you and your partner had exchanged a vow in front of God and that when you are sure at the moment that you already keep your sweetheart within your side always, what would be the purpose of a grand event? the most important person who should attend the event are you and your partner aside from parents and relatives who would like to share the moment with you. it will be an additional happiness if the event is being celebrated festively but nothing is more important having a tie with your partner eternally as possible. oh yes, true that we feel nervous whatever would be the occasion there is as we attend to it, facing different kinds of people around.. thanks to your post here :)

why mate? why would you like to end the event so soon? anything in mind? - haha! okay, allow me to give my opinions about this. maybe your too nervous about the thing, that is why you wanted to finish it quickly to end what you felt or maybe you were bit tired and need to relax your body and mind. to say, hosting an event would be surely so tiring and cannot blame that one of the couples fainted during the ceremony and fell down on the floor. i saw videos showing incident like that. why not? the pressures of sleepless nights, practices, arrangements of flowers, preparing gowns of the bride and clothes of the boys, venues, foods, such and etc. plus feeling anxious because of mixed emotions would surely playing in one's mind. gee, i guess i can experience a thing when getting married at my time sooner - wee! let us see thanks for joining your presence in here

In my personal experience, I was busy preparing all the necessary since we did not engaged any wedding planner. So occupied that I do not have the time to ponder how I feel. However, my second sister was so excited and nervous that she could not sleep at all the night before her wedding. She did not even eat much during her own dinner banquet.

your sister was more excited than you. and you are right, you cannot feel what you feel when something is occupying your feeling and time. it covers your anxieties for cannot barely feel what your emotion is telling you because being busy consumed your other feelings. but to say, if you are doing nothing and just sitting in the corner for one arranged a thing for you, for sure, you can feel butterflies in your stomach. just be glad you busied yourself from all of the necessary things to do. thanks there for sharing your thoughts and experiences during your wedding day. grateful about that :)

Well, i am not sure about that. First of all, i must be very excited about my wedding. Marriage is a huge thing. Secondly, i would be some kind of timid. Because marriage means responsibility and lots of stuff. I am not sure whether i can get them fixed or not. Anyway, getting married is a good news. There is something i am sure about, and that is i would be happy.
@missjahn (4574)

yes a happy thought would strike the most when this event occur because you and your partner shared vows already and this mean, keeping the relationship as much as possible till the end of time. for sure, mix emotions are toying your senses because you are correct that marriage is a general term that needs to have breakdowns to enjoy it, and to make it last if possible as what we dreamed it to have until grown old and die. you will be happy too because after of long parades, you and your partner marched together and after that, moulding lives with children with you. thanks for joining in here. such a pleasure thanks :)

Oh yes. tears will be there on our yes when our close ones get married. it is because of unavoidable separation. The system has been made interesting and complicated. Each of us has to depend on other people. a boy has to marry a girl from another family only. so the people of both families have to see eye to eye and vibe properly. Tears of close relatives and the bride is common.

hi there we became emotional that is why tears begin to shed in our eyes that made us about to cry. but who would like to do that in the presence of many people attending the occasion. maybe they will think that you are badly affected with the circumstance that is why you do crying . oh well, maybe because aside from being happy with the couples (wedding is the most awaited part of two lovers who want to settle down and enter marriage life) and at the same time, like what you said that, you will miss the person, not because he/ she will go somewhere else, but because one have new obligations to tend to. i remember a friend of mine, that we missed her presence everytime we gathered together because she were busy always with her family and work. thanks for joining in here :)
