Hello Fishes 🐟🎏
I am rigorously looking for a job from past few months and tried applying many opportunities i came across, but everywhere I receive is Rejection or No response at all. I am not sure what needs to be added to my profile to get more attention or is it really something because of my Notice period which is 90 days at HCL.

I also have social anxiety. Take breaks to have deep breathing. I’m through the nose out through the mouth. It’ll be over before you know it.
Just think the day is about you and your spouse. Enjoy the moment, dont pay attention to small things, hire a coordinator for the day or ask sisters/family members for help. Practice walking with your dress and heels on, practice your first dance etc, and remember the day will go by so quickly and you will be busy you wont have time to feel anxious much.
Feel free to break from tradition if there’s something that stresses you out! Most people there just want you to have an amazing day. You do not have to do a first dance (just have the DJ/band open the dance floor by saying “the bride and groom ask EVERYONE to join them on the dance floor to kick off this party!”), you do not have to cut the cake (or you can do it quietly after people are already dancing), you can sit with whomever you actually want to talk to at dinner. Etc etc etc
Anything that feels like something you “just have to get through,” don’t do ittttt
I am pretty introverted and was so nervous about being the center of attention at my wedding. But the day of everything just melted away and I was in a state of pure joy the whole day. My wedding was pretty small (80 people) and everyone there loved me and my partner. Being surrounded by that kind of energy is so different than other experiences where you may be the center of attention. I also built in a few breaks where it would just be me and my partner or me and my bridesmaids so I had breathers.
Elope?
Pretend it's all about him?
Remember that, unlike other times you are in front of big groups, everyone there loves you and supports you. If something goes wrong, they aren’t going to judge you (or at least they shouldn’t).
This is helpful thanks. I actually feel much more comfortable presenting at work or at conferences.
I am the exact same way OP. I hate being the center of attention and even just the though of opening gifts with family the day after is giving me massive anxiety. It makes me wonder if we should have just eloped and avoided the big day with all the people.
Just think about God and about how much you love the person you are going to marry… say a prayer asking for forgiveness of sins, ask for guidance, mercy, and strength.
