I was just talking with a bride-to-be tonight. She said that the more she works on planning her wedding and thinking through every single detail the more she has nightmares that something goes wrong. So far no brides have confided in me that they have had these dreams but I bet this is pretty common. I’d love it if other brides would share. Maybe Maria would start up the conversation by sharing one of her vivid nightmares.
Perhaps in this forum … by openly discussing them brides can start sleeping better. Think of this a free therapy! 
LOL. Here is a fun photo of three best friend brides who came to our studio to take photos with each other in their dresses and they are doing their best “bridezilla pose!” We shot all their weddings and had always enjoy Anna, Rachel and Rebecca!
So let’s hear your favorite nightmare stories from both brides-to-be and past brides! Have a great weekend.

So, in the last month, I been juggling with multiple decisions on my DJ, photographer, videographer, bridesmaid dresses( & color), and the design my wedding band since it will have to be custom made cuz of the design. I feel like I am in a whirl wind of making HUGE & FINAL decisions. My mind is ready to explode and I want to make sure I make the right ones and also feel good about it. You Know?
One dream just this past week, around the time I had spoken to Matt, I was at my parents home. I guess it was the morning of my wedding. I did not know at that point. My sister was there which was strange to me since she is married and has 2 kids with one on the way and clearly does not stay over at my parents home anymore. My mother was pouring coffee at our family table. She asked me, “How many people are coming tonight”, I was like What??? My sister starts in “I told you, you should had me help you with the invitations”. “Did you pick-up your dress, When are the girls coming over to get dressed?” All these questions started. I was holding my head and realizing that its the morning of my wedding day & I haven’t done a Darn Thing in planning. I of course start crying, which I never do, and realized that I did not even pick-up my dress(most important), the flowers were never decided on, the guys did not order their Tux’s, I never picked out what dress the bridesmaid’s are to ware, NOTHING!! I was loosing it at the table with coffee in my hand! My mother was shaking her head. My sister was laughing at me cuz that’s how she can be. I am saying to myself ‘what have I done ‘. Can this be true? My sister then asks me when is the photographer going to be here? That’s when I realized that I just spoken to someone(Matt) about signing me up for my day NEXT YEAR (2009) and NO Way it could be the morning of my wedding. That’s when I snapped myself out of that Horrible Dream only to wake up with my heart pounding like crazy and my face wet in tears.
I still have 11 months till the day and I can’t believe there will probably be more crazy dreams to come. Great!! Hope you enjoyed and I am sure many can relate.

The one thing that satisfied me the most on my last DOC (Day of or Month of Coordination) weddings, was when the bride emailed me and was so happy to find out that I had contacted all of her vendors. She was in the process of confirming things with them and vendor after vendor said, yeah I talked to your coordinator. She began resting easy and through the rest of the month leading up to her wedding.
