I'm just hoping and praying everything will go well. We've had a little bit of familial drama and we still have a few things left to do but all of the vendors and everything I've been secured and we have pretty much everything left to do except for the programs, really. Still just incredibly nervous.
Pic of soon to be wife. Update in OP: Thanks everyone for the well wishes, support, and overall thoughts. Someone asked for the video of the proposal, here you go.

You're getting ready to marry who I would assume to be your best friend and soulmate. Regardless of how everything else goes, you'll have that, which there is no comparison to.
Congrats! |

Jitters are normal, and expected.
After all, it is one of the biggest changes in life that you will ever experience. But from all I know of you, and watching as this has unfolded, I really think that you two are going to have a great marriage. I'm happy for you both. Normally when I hear the date is getting near, I'm thinking "there is still time to change your mind" lol, but that does not apply here. Mazel Tov on the upcoming nuptuals. Try to relax and enjoy it, it should be a once in a lifetime experience. 
edit: My 22nd anniversary is 13 Nov

you are supposed to be nervous amigo. It is one of the most important decisions a man can make. Go give her a big kiss and relax, you will be fine, just like millions of other men.

Go to the range and blast a few rounds off. Get your mind off things and why have jitters you are sealing the deal sounds like you should have excitement. Maybe you are confusing excitement for jitters.

Jitters or doubts. Jitters are to be expected, doubts warrant a conversation with your fiancée and pastor.

Communication is important.
Money problems are the number one cause of fights and divorces....so stay out of debt! The first year is tough, it takes awhile to get to really know someone when you first live together. |

Pic in the OP was cut-off by the computer screen right at the bottom of her glasses and she looks 100% like my younger daughter. I thought you'd somehow gotten a picture of her. Then I scrolled down and they have different noses, mouths, and chins. Any my daughter is 16, so....
Don't freak out. Family should help. If family isn't helping, you've got Arfcom!

No sweat. You wouldn't be normal if you weren't a bit nervous.
Best of luck to you two. If you want, I'll drive down during the ceremony and put some rounds out of the window of my car to celebrate. I've seen how they do that in other countries, and it's really cool.

Don't be nervous. The day is only for you and the bride. Don't worry about what other people are doing or thinking. Also, remember that it's not a performance, so you don't have to be nervous like you're in a school play or something.

It'll be fine. I got married a week ago today. I too was nervous about everything going perfectly. The vendors know what they're doing because this is what they do for a living. They've done hundreds or thousands of weddings and if something is not quite right they'll be able to handle it.

I feel ya, I had some major jitters / second guesses about a month before my wedding. To the point that I needed to talk them out and went to see my parents.
I was worried that some of our differences in interests would be a problem. I'm a reader, gamer, and nerd. She is none of those. She is very social, where I won't even do facebook. a bunch of other contrasts as well. Not to mention an eight year age difference (I'm the older one). Long story short, it has worked out great. We have enough interests (pets, the outdoors, home improvement/gardening) in common that we always have something to do or talk about. More importantly we have the same values and want the same things out of life. |

The "hard" part for me was asking her. We'll not really asking but making the decision in my own mind the she was the one for the rest of my life. Once I reconciled that in my mind, everything else was just going through the motions. We just celebrated our 29th. Choose well and the whole thing is a piece of cake

A week before my wedding I went to the ER believing I was having a heart attack. Had literally every physical symptom. I was convinced it was game over.
The doc told me it was in my head and gave me a prescription for a few pills of xanax

Once I reconciled that in my mind, everything else was just going through the motions. We just celebrated our 29th. Choose well and the whole thing is a piece of cake Funny story about that... The original plan was to go to WI and propose at the Reinassance Fair. The day before was really shitty. Rained, work was crappy, she was having a rough day, and we came home and she said "I don't think we can go to the Ren Faire. I have to go to my Mom's and pick some things up that were sent to me(meds." So I panicked and came up with another idea. I said "let's still go out and do something special." I made reservations at a downtown Chicago restaurant, and she was still feeling kind of meh. We took the train downtown, went to the restaurant, and I convinced her to go to Millenium Park with me. I walked over by the bean(for those who have never been to Chicago, there's a huge stainless steel sculpture in the shape of a bean.) and said "Megan, I wanted to bring you here for a reason." Handed my phone to a stranger so he could take pictures(he actually took a video), and I got down on one knee, and that was that. |
