I’ve had my fair share of wedding nightmares over the past few months, but nothing too ridiculous so far. It’s been the typical things—forgetting all of our decor, getting to the venue late, not being ready to walk down the aisle, etc.
But last night I had what was, to me, the wedding nightmare to end all wedding nightmares. I woke up in a complete panic, and I can’t even describe how big the feeling of relief was when I realized it was all just a dream.
The dream started off simply enough: it was our wedding ceremony! It wasn’t in our actual venue (it was in the church I grew up in) but that wasn’t really a big deal. Things didn’t start going downhill until Mr. Cardigan and I made our way back down the aisle and had our first moments alone together as a married couple. We snuck away to a corner to bask in the excitement of being married, and what was the first thing he said to me? “What’s up with this veil? It’s really weird.”
…
Yeah. No “I love you,” no “You look beautiful,” just “You have a weird veil.” I gave him a death glare and explained that maybe the first thing he says to me as my husband should be a bit nicer, he apologized, and we moved on.
But then it got worse. Oh did it EVER get worse. The reception was about to start and we were standing around talking to our family, and I suddenly realized that our photographers were doing a really good job of staying low profile. As in…I hadn’t seen them all day, and how in the world could they be so sneaky?
I asked everyone if they had seen them, and they all said no. That’s when the panic started to set in. I ran outside and started frantically calling Melanie, but there was no answer. And you know what’s really, really sad? Even in my dream state, one of my first thoughts after realizing our photographers hadn’t shown was “I’m not going to have any photos to recap the wedding for Weddingbee! What am I going to do?! Everyone will be so disappointed in me!”
Yeah, apparently dream-me is more worried about Weddingbee than about, you know, having photos to keep in albums for the rest of our lives and show to our children. Y’all are really important to my dream altar-ego!
The dream ended right after I finally got Melanie on the phone, so I never found out why they hadn’t shown up to the wedding, but I can definitely say that this was one of the most realistic dreams I’ve ever had. My eyes flew open and I felt very disoriented, and then felt an immense wave of relief when I realized that our wedding is still over three months away.
Goodness, I’m glad that dream is over, and I’m really hoping I don’t have any more ridiculous dreams like that anytime soon! Thankfully, I have complete faith in our photographers and I know they’d never do that to us. But, OMG, can you imagine?! That would be terrible!
