Nightmares of a Bride

It happened again.

I am suddenly awoken in the middle of the night.  I sit up panting with sweat running down my face.  I check my cell phone to see what time it is, its 2:27 a.m.

I sit up in my bed, going back and forth on whether it was a nightmare or reality.  "Definitely a nightmare," I think to myself.

No, it wasn't a nightmare where I was naked in front of a crowd or was being attacked by a man eating creature...  It was another wedding nightmare.

I know, I know, wedding nightmares just sound silly!

But this wasn't my first one, and I fear that it won't be my last one.  With seven months till our wedding day I am sure that many more are to grace my nightmares.

The one that woke me up the night before was just like the one I had before...  I was there on my wedding day with no shoes.  The grommsmen weren't wearing tuxes and I forgot to send out the invitations.  The wedding was a MESS!

Now with seven months to go, what shoes I wear on my wedding day should not wake me up in the middle of the night -- right?

At first I was worried that maybe my nightmares were a bad omen, and in all honesty I was kinda scared to tell anyone about them.

Then, while talking on the phone this morning to my OLDER sister/ Matron of Honor I asked her, "Did you have nightmares before your wedding?"

She calmed me down to inform me that it is a normal thing every bride has and that I have nothing to worry about.  She continued by telling me that most her nightmares were of things that she had not gotten done yet.

In fact, she said that one nightmare she didn't even have flowers at her wedding.  She said that at that point in planning her wedding, she was in the process of picking her flowers and that is why she had nightmares.

"Phew!" I thought.

With one of the biggest days of my life seven months away, I have a feeling a lot more crazy bride nightmares will be keeping me up in the future.

Now, my plan to ease the nightmares for the next seven months?  Work hard to get everything done, take a bath and relax every so often and have a glass of wine (or three) and, with in time, the day will be here and the Urban Farmer and I will be starting our happily ever after.

Love,
Busy Girl

P.S.  What type of nightmares did you have before            your wedding?  Did they ever go away?  
        What type of dreams are other brides having?
