Weddings are meant to be a special moment in a couple’s lives, as they start this new life together. But sometimes, this special event is a blend of magic and joy with a sprinkle of nerves, and occasionally, a dash of utter chaos. For some reason, the term “bridezilla” didn’t come from thin air. Imagine juggling your own emotions with those of your soon-to-be spouse, family, and a wedding planner who insists you need “just one more” tasting session. It’s a wonder anyone makes it down the aisle! And our bride almost didn’t get that far.
Luckily, a kind night auditor from herhotelwas there to the rescue when this bride’s wedding jitters went up a notch, turning a routine night shift into an unplanned counseling session.

The bride sends the night auditor flowers, cake and a gift for helping her when she was not feeling her best
The OP found themselves turnedrelationshipcounselor on the spot. They brought the upset bride some water, and they settled into the lounge. The bride started spilling the tea. Her dog, her mom, even her parrot adored the guy she was about to marry. But her? Not so sure. It turned out she wasn’t over her ex, who had tragically died in a car accident three years before. The groom had stepped in six months later, helping her through some really tough times.
The groom wasn’t staying at the hotel that night, so the OP met him briefly and he seemed like a stand-up guy. I mean, if the dog approved, he couldn’t have been all bad, right?
Saturday morning rolled around, and as the OP was clocking out, they saw the bride heading out. She stopped and told the OP that she was feeling better. Phew, crisis averted.

Wedding jitters are more common than one might think. According to anarticleon dealing with pre-wedding jitters, while it’s perfectly normal to feel nervous before such a big commitment, sometimes anxiety kicks in, leaving a person questioning their decision. “Cold feet are feelings of uncertainty and fear over going through with an impending wedding. It’s the sinking feeling that you are making a terrible decision and could end up marrying the wrong person,” the article explains.
Family therapistssuggest that you ask yourself these important questions before tying the knot: “Did I feel this way at any point in the relationship before, or is it specific to this moment? Have there been moments throughout the relationship where you felt concerned about these things?” If you find yourself repeatedly worrying about something concerning your partner, it might be more than just pre-wedding nerves.
However, there are tips and tricks people can use to help them get over those pre-wedding jitters, starting with accepting those feelings, and normalizing them. It also helps to talk about those feelings with someone, which is what our bride did on that Friday night.
In the end, that Friday night turned into an unforgettable experience. It wasn’t just about the bride and her jitters – it was about being there for someone when they needed support the most. Whether you’re a night auditor or a friend, sometimes all it takes is a listening ear and a fewkind wordsto make a world of difference.
