I too am getting married this year, and I know how you feel! Just remember that they are there to enjoy the day with you. It is YOUR day, therefore nothing you can do will be wrong! Just remember what you are there for. Your friends and family are not there to watch and inspect. You have asked them there to share your happiness with you. The day is not about you, it is about you and your fiance getting married! Who cares what anyone else thinks! Relax and enjoy it! If you went to your friend's wedding, what would you be thinking?

Echoing ladylou, this is your and your partner's day - your wedding, your way. If you want a quiet, intimate wedding, then have it. It's your chance to share your love with your friends and family, not to meet someone else's view of a good wedding. Choose a dress you feel fabulous in, know you look beautiful, and that everyone there is happy for you. Or you could elope! x
