Wedding Nightmares

Posted Tuesday, July 01, 2008 10:03 AM

I had 2 wedding nightmares last night. Everything went wrong. I was never so glad to be awake in my life! My nightmares don't make a lot of sense, i.e. they are not logical. Nonetheless, they were horrible.

In the first nightmare, I was at my parents' house in Miami and we needed something from the store. So I drove to Publix to get it and I think I was in my wedding dress. When I got home, it was dark and I was posing for pics with my photographer with a cigarette in my hand (I don't smoke). Then I go inside (this is where things are not logical) and into the reception. It's like I'm at the Grand Bohemian hotel (but no where in my dream do I remember actually getting there) and we are in a HUGE ballroom. My DJ was there doing an awesome job, but then he started doing things we didn't ask for, like a magician was there doing tricks. We were worried about the price of all this. Then I remember that I never did a seating chart and I freak out (all the guests are already sitting down and eating) so I go to my DOC and ask her if there were any problems. She says yes and there are 200 guests at my wedding (IRL the guest list is about 70). I look around and notice people I haven't talked to since high school and college. Then FI and I really freak out because there are 3 times the guests and we don't know how we are going to pay for it.

Thank God I had to pee so I woke up from this nightmare. I woke up FI and told him about it. He probably doesn't remember...

I go back to sleep and have another nightmare. In this one, more things go wrong.

Before the wedding, I am checking the reception site to make sure everything is okay. Someone decided to "surprise" me with a candy and cookie bar. The cookies were the cheap ones from Wal-Mart and still in their original packaging. I tried to fix it but there were no pretty containers.

Then it was time to walk down the aisle. It was a really long aisle. First of all, FI walks down and he is announced like it's a sporting event with sports music playing. Then I walk down and as I'm walking my florist is walking with me fixing my flowers and they were ugly and all the wrong colors. Then I hear the music. My violinist wasn't there. It was some lady playing the keyboard which I could barely hear and she wasn't playing the songs I wanted. As I walked down the aisle (florist was not there anymore) I was walking alone and I almost tripped. To top if off, I was wearing these hideous white lace gloves. I finally made it to end of the aisle and while the ceremony was going on, I was whispering to FI about the keyboard lady and she heard me and glared at me. I as up there, feeling like I wanted to cry, because everything that could go wrong, went wrong. Oh and my MOH wasn't in her dress. She was wearing some ugly white lace suit.

Thank God it was just a nightmare...
