  What are you most and least looking forward to about your wedding?

  Contact Obviously i am looking forward to actually marrying my OH but other than that i am looking forward to - Seeing my OH's face when i walk down the aisle. Wearing the dress and getting my hair and make up done and generally being fussed over and being glam. The evening reception where we can dance and drink and have a good old knees up. Waking up the next day as man and wife and opening all our cards and reading everyones messages THE HONEYMOON BABY!!   things im NOT looking forward to   Walking down the aisle and everyone looking at me - arrrrhhhh the pressure! I HATE being the centre of attention. Kissing everyone on the receiving line - i dont want them to mess my hair and make up and i am NOT a kissy person. Worrying if everyone is having a good time. Posing for photos - i hate having my photo taken!     Married 10.10.10

  Contact My list would probably be very similar to yours Shoe! Looking forward to: Walking down the stairs at my parents house in my dress for the first time, with my mum and dad and bridesmaids there Walking down the aisle with my dad and seeing my OH looking at me at the end Seeing all the wedding party and guests all dressed up The part just after the ceremony where OH and I will go for a short drive in the wedding car with some champers Seeing the ceremony & reception room all done up Being announced into the reception room as Mr and Mrs! The speeches Having a good party and knees up with all our loved ones Waking up the next morning to pressies and breakfast with our guests (nicked yours a bit there Shoe!) Honeymoon!!! Least looking forward to: The worry - either that people aren't enjoying themselves or that OH and I get too tipsy and embarass ourselves! I think that's it! Far outweighed there! I'm quite looking forward to being the centre of attention for a day actually
