Wedding regrets......

Original post by hbradio

These have been on mind so much lately....and reiterated last night when I watch MCDO's show because I saw what a nice relationship they had with some of their vendors.....

I would have chosen my 2 cousins as BMs instead of readers. Then I would have counted out my 3 college friends (they didnt do anything bad to me at all but I just wish I chose my cousins) Everytime I see them it breaks my heart a little more. I made the decision on who was going to be a BM too quick.

I would have researched flowers a bit more. I was very disappointed in the outcome.

I would have had someone pass my guestbook around so that everyone could have signed it. Not even half the guests did! What a waste.

I would have put tags on the table cameras. They were a last minute addition and I couldnt be bothered to write instructions. I thought everyone would just know what to do....

I would have done something extra like the slipper basket. I thought I couldnt do it because there was more than one wedding going on at the time. DUH I could have just had it in the reception room!

And while my proofs are awesome I 'forgot' to take a professional picture (or even an amateur one) with my 2 cousins I mentioned above (they even joked the other day and said lets all put our dresses on and take a picture!) as well as some guests that I am very close to. Too much on my mind at the time I guess!

Adding another after reading Lisa's: I would have insisted that we didnt go with a family friend for our DJ too. While he was great - there were some things I would have preferred done differently and I didnt feel comfortable dicussing these things with him. He is the best man's brother and I knew that the best man would have stuck his nose in things and it would have become a bigger issue than necessary.

There are a few other little things but these are the ones that stick out the most. I know its dumb to even dwell on these things cause they cant be changed but they just have been bothering me so much lately!

Anyone else have any regrets??!?! Maybe the brides to be can read this and not make the same mistakes!

I regret...

1- missing the cocktail hour. I heard the food was amazing

2- not getting enough pictures of teh flower girls and ring bearers... not the photographers fault. they were young and restless

3- not taking my veil off for half of the cocktail hour photos

I wish i would of kept my veil on longer. After seeing the wedding video i realized it looked really nice on and i took it off almost right away. Hey you only get to wear it that one day!

I wish i picked a photojournalist to go along with my crappy photographer. There are so many posed shots and none of 'in the moment pictures' or details of things.

I wish I would of not been rushed to the church by our limo driver. I think he didn't realize the church was a 2 minute drive from my parents house and it caused me to be sitting in the back of the church while people were still arriving. Very embarrassing.

The only regret that I have is that I wish I would have had more time. Time just seemed to fly by. Other then that, no regreats. It was the best day of my life!

My biggest regret is hiring the florist and limo co. we used.

I regret not smiling more, I was too nervous walking down the aisle and thru most of the ceremony.

If I could have done it over, I would have gotten married in a church.


ETA: I regret not getting more items from our chocolate fountain sent to our bridal suite..they were SOO good!

My wedding was wonderful and I would not have changed anything!

I do regret that it rained...but even that added to the wedding! The guests could not blow the bubbles and we couldn't take pictures on the church steps as I wanted, and we only got a couple of pics in the classic Rolls...but it makes for great memories none the less!

Now that I think about it, I also regret not finding these boards and this website sooner in my wedding planning process! I've spent more time here after the wedding than before! And there is so much great info here! I can't seem to stop reading and learning!

No matter how many photos you take, you can never take enough!

I wish I had taken more photos with my friends and relatives. I don't have my professional photos, so I don't know everything that was captured, but that is my one regret.
Also, I never got a formal pic with entire bridal party (including jr. bridesmaids and flowergirls). Those were done separately.

Finally, I wish I had gone with my gut and changed my hall instead of getting married where my parents wanted me to (because they were paying). Everything turned out well, but the hall was extremely unprofessional and did a terrible job of handling multiple events at one time. I'll share the details of that when I post my review.

Final regret: After all that planning it is amazing how fleeting the day is. I tried to take it all in, but it still went by so fast. It's all like a dream.

I wish the photographer would have photographed people dancing but his azz left and I wished he would had photograped the decor of the reception.

I wish it wasnt so cold on our wedding day because DH, me, and some wedding party members got colds right after

I wish that the RH didnt charge $5 for a cup of dam ice

I wish we had a better DJ......he was cheap but he played wack songs

I wish I didnt buy so much tulle because I had a lot left over and could have saved that money

I wish I didnt lose my bouquet
