    Being nervous is normal for both parties! Just remember that the officiant is right there with you -- if you have a glitch on the vows, s/he will help you through it with respect and dignity because that's their job.

    Most common is that you should be prepared for the rings not to fit -- it happens in about 70% of the marriages I perform because nerves have made your fingers swell. So don't try cramming it past the second knuckle! Thirty seconds after you are 'pronounced', the rings will fit just fine.

    You will see, everything works out and you wonder what the nerves were about!

    Yes, it's normal. I remember being nervous for my wedding, and I was also positive that I was marrying the right girl.

    I realized that I was nervous because from now on, my life would never be the same. But mostly, I was nervous because I was worried about supporting another person, even though I had a good job.

    If you're nervous, I think it just means that you are taking this marriage seriously and you want to do right for the girl you're marrying.

    So your nervousness is actually a good thing.

    Good Luck to you. Not only Saturday, but in your future life together as well.

    of course it's normal - you're making one of the biggest changes in your life! But don't fret! It's just nerves and you know she's for you. To relax, call up your best man and spend some time playing pool or go to a movie... It's just jitters and you'll have them until the ceremony is started. I do suggest, staying away from the booze on the wedding day if you're nervous already. If you want to drink, keep it to a minimum - it seems like the way to relax, but it's not - you dont' want to pass out! HA! Do all the boozing you want until then though. Just try to keep your mind on relaxing things - and make sure you have some friends around to keep you occupied :)

    If you are with the right girl - you will eventually relax. You WILL still be nervous, regardless - it's a huge step. Get your best man to take you out to do something that will blow off the stress - batting cages, paintball, golf, fishing, shooting - what are your hobbies. Physical activity will do more for you than playing video games. Make sure you look at your Bride when you say the vows. Double check your zipper and don't lock your legs out - you could pass out.

    Yes. The jitters are fine. I'm sure everyone who is about to get married experience this same feeling. Take some time for you. Go and do a few things that will relax you and your mind.

    A massage will be good for you.

    I told my finacee I think he and I should go and get a massage together a few days b4 the ceremony so we won't get too inter-twined with the emotional roller that one day causes.

    Yeah, it is normal to be nervous!!!:P

    So, golfing is a good way man men use to relax... there's also going for a back massage at the spa, or just hanging out with buddies... try to keep yourself occupied..

    And congrats!:)

    Absolutly. Its a big step. But just think. you love her right? You want to be with her, right? If you say yes, then you are getting what you want.

    Dont worry about the wedding, its a day. Just focus on your bride and have fun!
