Wedding on Saturday!!

[Mystic]

So...I'm not the one getting married. My cousin is and I'm one of the bridemaids but guess what? I am the FIRST one to walk down the isle!!! Out of 5 bridemaids I am the one who goes first...and I am SOOO nervous about that.
I thought I was gonna be able to watch the other bridemaids ahead of me so I could copy them. Ugh...I really suck at walking in heels too.
Anybody have any hints? Tips? Advice? Help? lol

With the heels just try to not think about it. Hold your shoulders back and walk normally. Heels are bad for me because I am not the most coordinated person in the world...so I do my best to not think about them or I fall all over the place.

I had to give the eulogy at my cousin's funeral last year and I wore heels. I had to climb a few stairs to get up on the stage. All I did was not think about falling, it wasn't a possibility. There were about 300 people watching me, so I used them as a distraction.

Anyway...you'll do fine. Smile big and that will help you feel more confident. A little confidence goes a long, long way!

Practice walking in them today! Then tomorrow, after the ceremony, just change into flip flops!

practice walking in them. take a deep breath, stand tall and just walk slowly and calmly.
and dont forget to smile!!!
oh and what laura said..........usually an hour into the reception my feet feel like bloody stumps, so i highly recommend a comfy 2nd pair of shoes, like pretty flip flops.

Are they having a rehearsal tonight? If so, then use the heels tonight so you can get used to it a bit. Also don't forget to SMILE! Ugh, I've seen toooo many pics of the bridal party and there's always someone who sticks out like a sore thumb, either looking pissed, sleepy or bored and then the bride gets mad cuz they ruined the picture. Oh and just breath and do what everybody said in the other posts. )

I agree to practice in the heels. Relax, and know people are just waiting for the bride anyway, and know how special you are to be first!
