I’m gettin’ hitched on August 2…
I’m soooo nerved out I think I’m going to puke and pass the hell out…100F in a tux outside (yikes)… 300 people and I hate speaking in front of more than 3… What can I take to calm me down a little? Very emotional type day…My father passed away and it is at his house…Can you rec. anything for me?
Sure thing.
Calm the fuck down.
Hope this helps!
First off, outdoor weddings in the heat suck. My wife would have never done that to me.
Anyway, what are you nervous about? You’re doing something fun and exciting, and you’re sure it’s the right thing, right?
You may need to seek out good drugs.
I am getting married this Saturday also. Me and my wedding party are planning to go workout in the morning to release some stress.
I’m getting hitched august 30th. I wouldn’t take anything and just suck it up. I am not even going to drink any alchohol on my wedding day. You should be in your right state of mind. Its a big day that you planned long and hard for and if you are in my situation you have saved a lot for. Why would you want to take something that might zone you out and make you not appreciate it. I have 2 weeks in Hawaii afterwards if i want to get shitfaced.
Have you ever heard of the drink, “liquid cocaine?” Let me see… I think it is a shot of Goldschlogger, a shot of Bacardi 150, and a shot of Jagermeister. That ought to take the edge off a little. 
liquid cocaine is jagermeister and 151. No goldschlager involved.
I think xanax works great. But if you are in the 200lbs range you might need more than one.
Don’t worry though, I just got married a couple of months ago. I know it’s hard but try not to ruin what should otherwise be alot of fun with unneccessary worry. I know, easier said than done.
Anyway, try xanax.
The best man should be nervous, not you. He’s got a lot more to take care of, all you have to do is dress yourself properly and show up. Don’t get drunk, but have a shot and a beer and enjoy it.
Go see “American Wedding” on Friday, August 1. I’m sure it will help make your wedding go smoothly.
JWright, you’re correct that liquid cocaine doesn’t include Goldschlagger, but that sounds like a nice addition to me!
Which is bothering you most: the heat? the wedding itself? or missing your dad?
I agree with RS.
Forget the Xanax and go for a shot and a beer, or maybe two shots. Just don’t go overboard, otherwise you’ll end up making an ass of yourself, embarrass and piss off a lot of people, and then pass out while your new wife is having passionate sex with your best man…
I’m kidding! If you absolutely need something, have a shot or two.
Not to contribute to a hijack or anything but the “liquid cocaine” shots I’ve served were jager, gold and rumplemintz. Powerful, but not as good as a Red Headed Slut. Those go down soooo easy.

Oh, and Snake Bite shots taste good too.
I got married in October 2000 in Miami. We got married close to the beach and I was wearing a three piece suit. The temperature was in the 90’s and the humidity was high also.
My father died when I was 5 and I was upset that he couldn’t see his son get married. His sister from Syracuse was there though so that was good.
I had two beers at a bar with my best man before my wedding. I was very nervous before my wedding and my bottom lip was quivering, I had to bite hard on my tongue…
Afterwards it was all fine and we were all drinking champagne and went on to a restaurant downtown in Miami in our stretch limousines.
It was amazing.
Then just under two years later my wife gave birth to our first son Callum… He’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us.
Good luck for August the 2nd…
Cheers…Stubob…
Listen up bro,
Besides all the drinking advice, you gotta ask yourself one thing…
Do you want to spend the rest of your life with this gal?
You asked her to marry you, so the answer should be yes. Yeah, we all get nervous. This is a huge committment for a guy, and a girl too. Just be ready to love and support each other. Communication is key, as told by many people in good relationships.
You’ll be fine. All your t-brethren are behind you.
Imagine your fiancee’s reaction if you showed up to the wedding drunk. :-o
Try getting an awning for the wedding party and the guests. You won’t have the sun beating down, and you won’t be squinting when you say your vows.
Talk to your tuxedo people; they may recommend a ‘dickey’ which is a kind of partial shirt that will be cooler. You can change to a normal shirt for the reception.
Set up fans on the pavilion pointed at yourself and the bride.
Everyone gets nervous speaking in front of a few hundred people. Remember that these people are here to support you (with, okay, the possible exception of the in-laws). Your fiancee isn’t going to call of the wedding if you stutter a couple of times.
