Looking back, how did you people (guys and girls) feel before you were about to tie the knot?
Were you scared? happy? worried more about the wedding itself than married life 
Married couples as well as soon to be married folks are welcome to share their experiences.
Re: Before marriage
i was really happy cuz i was getting married to my best friend but i was sad too cuz i was leaving my family..my hometown
Re: Before marriage
I was happy to marry the person I was marrying. It's an unknown journey I was willing to take with him.
Re: Before marriage
I was really nervous before the nikah and just because of a bad previous experience wasnt sure if the nikah was actually going to pan through, lol. But Alhamdulillah between the nikah and rukhsati we got to really know each other and i was more comfortable leaving with him. I was a little scared when leaving Chicago and driving with the inlaws, not that they scared me but it just made me nervous to leave everything that was known to me and venture into the unknown.
So yeah was nervous not so much as before the rukhsati than after.
Re: Before marriage
It was a surreal feeling. I actually don't even remember much. I don't think I was too caught up in the actual wedding, but I was definitely excited/nervous about being married and moving all the way to Australia. Now when I think back, I wish I had taken more part in the actual planning of the wedding. I obviously knew what was going on, and I was asked for feedback, but when I see girls planning every little detail, I feel like i missed out on that.
Re: Before marriage
i was happy because i married my soul mate, i cried alot at the rukhsati :( the thought of being away from my family really hurt, i still miss them alot, but they are not that far from me so its better now...
i tried to be part of all the planning but every1 told me to sit there like a pyari dulhan and not talk hahahahahhaha well all my cousins n sis told me to do that, but i had to make sure it went perfectly otherwise i wud hav not been a happy bunny hehehe Allhumdullilah it all went ok, :)
Re: Before marriage
I was scared and nervous when we got engaged just because I didn't know him so well and was still learning about him and meeting his family for the first time. So it was a lot and somewhere in the back of mind I had the thought that hey if this doesn't pan out I can always walk away from it since it's only an engagement.
I wasn't scared or nervous at the nikah or rukhsati since by that time I had known him for 2+ years.
Re: Before marriage
I was so concentrated on having the perfect wedding
that I didn't really get a chance to be nervous about
the marriage itself.
Re: Before marriage
Honestly - I felt like I was making the biggest mistake of my life.
I cried all the time.
The night after the wedding we came home and he talked to me and I knew I'd be okay. He's amazing -- stupid idiot kahee ka!!
Extremes I know but thats my personality.
Re: Before marriage
I knew him pretty well before the wedding - and for some reason i wasnt nervous at all AH - while he was arriving with the barat, he was texting me which was very comforting. I knew my life would be complete with this man in my life AH.

Re: Before marriage
both Sara. The process that one has to go and having parents looking for you and keep asking you if you have someone else in your mind and leaving things on you as well - kinda get creepy. Let me thing I never want to get married.
Re: Before marriage
I was happy and nervous at the same time on my nikah...my wedding didn't go the way it was supposed to..rukhsati didn't happen on the day of the nikah, but was done a day later...and by that time, i was quite irritated by everything around me, i just wanted everything to be done as soon as possible..
I knew my husband before we got married...so it wasn't strange at all...we were friends before, and after marriage, we became best friends...i feel so complete, Alhamdolillah.
Re: Before marriage
Farishta, i read about your wedding and i’m sorry that things happened that way…but at least you have an awesome relationship mashallah…and that’s all that matters.
