What is the one thing that you regret about your wedding?

3 things...

1.) would have gone with a different DJ, definitely! he was okay but nothing that made me go 'wow!'. he got the songs mixed up for the garter/bo-k toss. he also lost the list i gave him of the italian songs that the IL's requested be played...that had me fuming mad!!!!
2.) would have gone with a different photographer, especially for the money we paid i expected much more! he missed some key shots...
3.) i would have sprung for the viennesse hour just to please the IL's!

Honestly I would not have changed a thing about my wedding as I truly feel that it went 'exactly' as planned. DH & I thought out every move & were never too quick to book someone!

The one thing that I would have changed but was not under my control:
1) as many of you know, I came down with the flu that was going on 2 days before my wedding. I was still sick at my wedding. I barely had anything to eat at the CH & didn't eat my dinner nor the VH! So I need to take everyone's word on how amazing it was. I did make it a point to stay on the dance floor the entire night though!!!! Plus since i was sick beforehand & had not eaten, my dress was so big on me!

What would I have changed??? Lets see.
I think the only thing that REALLY bothered me was my hair.. I would have definately went with another salon. Also.. My bridal party. I wish I would have included my cousins wife- I seriously regret being spiteful & not putting her in mine because I wasn't in hers. Yeah, bitter move on my part, but, I cant change things now.

Leonards was a slight disappointment- but no matter what, I still had a great time, & they did a great job- just a few things that went wrong (Its all in my review)

I guess thats it, My wedding was great. If I had to do it over again though, I would have had a fall wedding- There are so many color variations for a fall theme that I LOVE.

ETA:
Oh yeah.. This is my secret.. and I will NEVER EVER tell Anthony, but I kind of wish we went to Hawaii rather than Aruba for our honeymoon.

By the way Syliva... Im sure your pictures will come out AMAZING, and be worth every penny you spent!!!! I haven't seen a bad pic from Duet yet.
Besides that, you guys make a gorgeous couple. How in the world can your pics come out bad??? I

My hair vendor - Jenn Ziegelmeier... complete disappointment and lack of professionalisim is an understatement.

I also would have gone with my first choice for photographer.

this is a copy & paste from another thread...

here are some of the things that went not so right on my day

1. we did not have the CH room we were supposed to at the Swan Club. I was pretty upset, but not about the room change as much as when I was told.... right when I was about to walk down the aisle with my Dad, GREAT timing! thanks for almost ruining my most special moment ever!
2. I did not like the CP's. my florist was awesome! the flowers at my wedding were above and beyond anything I could have imagined. But I let my florist talk me into getting taller vases for the tables and hated how they looked. I specifically wanted the low bowl type CP's so that people at the table can see each other. almost everyone took them off the tables and put them on the floor. That really upset me. The CP for our “love dais” was stunning though, and so were the bo-k's!
3. my MOH did not bustle my dress correctly after the ceremony. when DH and I came back to the bridal suite right before the reception, I had him re-do it (I talked him through it) but it still was not 100%. I should have taken my dress off and done it myself.

I regret not calling FH at 3 to make sure they were on their way to the church...I regret spending 20 mins trying to get MIL and her immediate family back in teh church for her requested picture so she could have her family portrait with her grand daughter in it...

i know that sounds mean, but i found out she made the limo wait a half hr while they took pics at her house!.. she later blamed it on me for forgetting the rings at my parents house.. mean while the limo to get the girls was a half hr late (we all know y now) and we just jumped in to get there! nto to mention they were remembered just as we turned the corner and my mom just jumped in with the photographer to get them to save a few mins it would have taken for the BIG car to turn around!

so i lost an hr of my day because of her cr@p... i missed my cocktail hr, i was RUSHED to do our pics.. so rushed we didnt get the picture of MY whole family with FH.. either SIL and niece and nephew are missing or FH is missing!... not to mention all the time trying to get everyone for 'other' family photos!... So I lost time at the cocktail hr where we were supposed to greet our guests, (which mind you i got MOBBED by her friends and didnt get to see my own family) and i was completely rushed and didnt get MY own family picture, and other pics i wanted of DH and myself with the time we missed..

Y they couldnt get in the limo when it showed up and take pics at the church i will NEVER figure out!.. i am livid at MIL for making y wedding a half hr late then blaming me for the 2 minutes spent turning around to get the rings when we were so rushed to get in the limo in the first place!

For the most party I was pretty please with eveything except:

Not taking some family photos that I wanted to:

Not having bottles of wine on each table:

That is really about it!!!!

All of my vendors really did a great job I must say!!!!

my photog
i wish i would have looked at others before i booked mine

---

SAME! totally regret my photographer

I would have been all over Giorgio's to make sure my details were done.

Hired a DOC - after 2 years of planning it's really upsetting to not have things perfect when they would have if they were actually executed.

Added on an extra hour to the reception - there was just not enough time!

I over bought on the alcoholic beverages, and was unable to return the unused bottles.

But, on the bright side - I have a seriously stocked bar at home now.

that should NEVER be a regret

I am on my way!

you are so welcome to raid my bar anytime.

I guess I should add mine.

all of my regrets came before the wedding- basically my dress. It didn't come out the way I wanted, and for what I paid, I couldn't just gone out and bought one and not have had any of the 'drama'. Oh, and it probably would have fit.

I can honestly say though, that the only regret I have of THAT day, was that it was only 24 hours long.

If I could ever have a 'Groundhog Day' moment, that is the day I would choose. The first time dh and I landed in Rome would be a close second.

I have never loved my own smile more.

I have to say that one thing I regret is shelling out a lot of $$ for a photographer...I wish I went a more inexpensive way...I could have shopped around and found a good photographer for a lot less $$, but I was so hooked on the good reviews that they got here and since they were so popular, I wanted to use them as well...I havent received my proofs yet but I doubt they'll be worth that amount of $$ that we paid for them.

---

Same vendor, but I would have found a photographer that wasn't stretched as thin as they are. I get jealous when everyone says how quick their proofs came etc..

I regret:

-Not having my mom in more pictures despite the fact that she was too scared to move after just coming home from rehab.

-Not having danced with my FIL.

-Not having a DOC. I had so much on my mind that day that it would have been nice to have someone looking after stuff.

-Losing My Veil
-Having Dh's father involved in the wedding party
-Leaving Flowers at the church and not making sure all my guys had their Bouts on
-Not throwing the Bok & Garter Toss

Our day in my eyes went perfect, but I do regret not looking at more photographers/ videographers (it's in my review).

Also giving the photographer specific instructions on who I would like photos taken of. For example I have 2 baby sisters that live in Virginia and he only took one pic of them going down the aisle.
Nor did I take a whole family pic....I wish I did.
