I woke up Saturday morning in a panic, not knowing what day it was, what I needed to be doing, or why I was in pajamas… because at that point in my dream, I should have been wearing an ill-fitting dress trudging down a muddy aisle in front of no guests to a groom in jeans. Huh?
Yea. I dreamt I was getting married now, today, este minuto… so nobody was there because invites hadn’t gone out, we had no tent, tables or chairs because I haven’t signed the contract, the trail was muddy and ugly because it’s February, and my guy wasn’t wearing a suit because he hasn’t bought one. Ah, yes, and the dress was falling off because I haven’t yet found a seamstress (anyone wanna pass along a good Knoxville recommendation?).
I’m relieved, though. I’ve had wedding nightmares before, but never with this guy, my favorite guy. When I was dating my ex-boyfriend, I had these dreams about marrying him and discovering that he was married to someone else — and my family was all crying. Now THAT’S a nightmare. This bad dream was all about the details (even if bras are more necessity than detail, if ya know what I’m sayin’).
I think this bad dream is telling me to stop procrastinating and get some wedding stuff done.
Even if the vision of me in a wedding dress running to the grocery store to get flowers for the non-existent tables and freaking out because I can’t find black socks for the groom (who’s wearing old running shoes?) is kinda funny.
Are you having wedding nightmares?
omg, i have them all the time. i had another one last night where my (univited) ex was there and someone had a seizure and we were opening presents before the ceremony… madness.
You have AMAZING timing with your posts. I had my first wedding nightmare last night and was so stressed out! My dress was nowhere to be found, so I got married in my bra and crinoline. (Such a great look) and we couldn’t find the ceremony book, which we’d spent hours putting together to make our ceremony our own. Nothing about our day was as I had envisioned, and I was so relieved when I woke up!
None yet, but I DO (unfortunately) wake up — and struggle to get back to sleep — when I think of a wedding-related to-do item. Grrrr….
I have wedding dreams ALL THE TIME. All the time!!! The last one was that the ceremony went off without a hitch, and then all of our guests were in the reception room. I had my arm locked with my FI (I guess Hubby at this point) and we were about to walk into the reception, when I realized there was no music playing. There was no music playing because I had not decided what music we would walk into, what our first dance would be, etc etc… I said “Moooom, help!” and then woke up!
Yes I too have wedding nightmares. My first one was just like yours where you have to get married in the middle of planning all of a sudden the months you thought you had are gone and you have to figure it all out with only what you have so far. I remember it completely, it was horrible!
Oh yes. I just had one a few days ago, actually. In short, I was about to walk down the aisle and I didn’t have my “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” In real life, it’s not a huge deal to me, but in my dream, oh god you would have thought I was naked! I started having wedding nightmares really early into our 22 MONTH engagement. I can’t even imagine what will happen in the 6 months leading up to the big day.
Not yet (I am still over a year and a half away.) I did have a tornado dream last night though, and I’ve been having chaotic dreams as of late!
(This is a sidenote, Miss Cheese, but did we ever hear about how your trip to Brazil went? Sorry if I missed it!)
I’ve already had at least 2 similar dreams, and my wedding isn’t until Sept! Though the last dream I had, we actually got married in it, and even though it wasn’t what we had planned it went OK. Until the wedding night, when my “husband” informed me that he had a party to attend. Ha.
Funny you should mention this - I very rarely have nightmares, but I had my first (in a very long time) on Sunday night, just a week after becoming engaged. I don’t remember the details now, but I know I woke up with a cold sweat. In short I think I was dreaming about my fiance not being at our wedding, but in place of him was my ex and I was freaking out (I haven’t seen/talked to/ though of my ex in at least 3 years!). Thank goodness you wake up from dreams sometimes.
Am I weird and non involved enough with my wedding or something? I have had lots of dreams about what it will be like living with my husband one day, but nothing about the actual wedding!
So glad other brides are having wedding nightmares, too! I had one last night where I realized the morning of my wedding that I had scheduled a DENTIST appointment that day. So I ran panicked to the dentist - in my wedding dress, of course - and asked him to hurry up because I was getting married in a couple hours! What does that even mean?
I’ve totally had them! I’m foggy on the details of my most recent, but it had something to do with me being in a bakery on the day of my wedding trying to order some sort of cake last minute…I just remember being upset and stressed out!
I too have had a couple wedding related nightmares. Most of them center around not being able to get to the ceremony on time. Its weird because the setting of my nightmares is not the actual place where we are getting married. Its a relief to know that I am not only one having interruped sleep!
hahah I have had any direct nightmares yet.. but my MOHs (I have three) are all having them! hahah
I just had my first last night. It was similar to yours where nothing was done, my sister MOH, was drunker than hell and the best man had foil imitations of our wedding bands since there was no time to buy them. I am so glad I work up from that horrible nightmare.
I’ve had 3 so far. One was about forgetting to do the rehearsal and having complete chaos at the ceremony, second one about people getting lost at the wedding venue, and the most recent one about people not showing up at the wedding. Sigh. Yes, wedding has been on my mind nonstop.
I had about three… the most recent one was similar in that we were getting married that day with everything we had up until now :-/ But all I could think of was how excited I was to be getting married, that I didn’t care about all the missing stuff 
awwww, I know.
I once had a nightmare where I woke up and the wedding was that day. But no one was fully booked, and we were rushing around our venue trying to get everything ready and coordinating with vendors that we had had to contact that day. I was very relieved when I woke up.
Also, after meeting with the florist, I had a dream that I had drowned in flowers.
I’ve only had one and it was HORRIFIC! To say the least I immediately made sure that the details I dreamt about were sewed up — I haven’t had one since
