Do you have any regrets or changes you would make for your wedding if you had it to do over?
I have been married 25 years so yes, today i would do things differently but I mean things you wished you had done differently soon after the wedding?
My list is:
First, I would have paid the few hundred to have a video made. I had NO idea I would move away the next day and never see my Dad again because he died 4 months later.
2nd, I didn't tell the photographer specific pictures, just do the "usual" and when I got the proofs some pics I expected, were not taken. Be specific if you want a certain picture, make sure it was taken. I regret not taking a family photo with my Dad, Mom and brother also. Dh had one with his family and we didn't.
I would have danced a first dance and would have danced with my Dad.
Today I would change dress, cake etc just because its "today". Back then I wouldn't have changed any of that at all. Loved the reception, cake, dress, bridesmaids dresses, flowers etc.
I'm divorced now, so the correct answer would be to listen to the people who said don't marry him. Oh well....without him I wouldn't have my 2 awesome kids.
I wanted to elope. Make it part of a nice vacation. But no, he had to do it the old fashioned way with the big church brouhaha and all. This time, I'm eloping.
Not really. My only regret would be not to trust my alcoholic mother with our rings. We had to pretend to put them on our fingers for the ceremony... and then she gave them to me in the bathroom at the reception after she ran home.
It makes for a funny story now though, so I can't really even say I regret it 100% LOL
Our wedding was perfect and everything we wanted.
I would tell myself BEFORE we get married NOT to go back to the apartment that night! We found a GIANT texas cockroach and it has been the talk of the wedding day ever since. O you remember how they went back to the apartment and found that cockroach? Or the guy my husband JUMPED into the water to help. That guy could have been told in advance to be more careful on his segway, that the riverwalk doesnt have railings! the OTHER talk of our wedding day. O you remember how doug jumped in to save that guy who went in on his segway? yea.

My dd 18 says she wants a destination wedding in Hawaii and a reception back home. That is totally her. My 16 year old is tradtional with a church wedding and the works.
My wedding was idyllic and it fulfilled the dream. I couldn't have asked for anything more.
The only thing I tell my friend (who is getting married shortly) is to not stress over the small stuff. The minute little details just don't matter and it's not worth spending a fortune or tearing your hair out.
In the end I couldn't remember if the green flower was too close to the other green flowers on the reception table and no-one AT ALL saw that there was White AND Ivory damask patterns...
That is true, people can leave the reception and not remember the flowers, dress colors etc.
