For the past few weeks, I keep getting asked these questions constantly:
“Are you stressed?”
“Are you nervous?”
“Are you ready?”
After the first dozen times, I’ve been polite and given my real answer. Now it’s a monotone and short “no.” The thing is, I really am not stressed or nervous but now that people are asking me all the time, I’m starting to stress and get nervous! I feel that all the eyes and the pressure of their questions is making me feel uneasy. Inside my head I’m thinking “Why!? Is there a reason to be nervous?!”
Instead, I feel like they should replace their questions with these questions:
“Aren’t you excited?!”
“Don’t you feel so lucky to be marrying Mr. Caramel?!”
Or anything along those lines. This is a good tip for you bridesmaids out there - these questions will help brides feel excited instead of nervous.
The conclusion I came to is — Don’t be nervous about being nervous. Don’t be stressed about being stressed. And of course, don’t be anxious about being anxious. Shut everyone’s questions out and just concentrate on regular life.
I picked up The Chronicles of Narnia from the bookstore. I’m going to allow myself to be a regular human being even though there are only a couple of weeks left. I want to live everything day to day.
Are there any questions you guys have been asked that you like or dislike?
I actually had some people ask “When are you planning on having kids?” before I even got married! I happen to think that’s a rude question in general.
