I just want to hide under a rock and burn my dress!

Original post by myasmom

I have a confession. Although I loved my wedding, I am still a bit upset about the Dj being almost 2 hrs late. Yeah the hall served dinner to buy time but I got to meet and greet my guests on a more personal level. BUT I am concerned of how the video will look and I must add that the fill in DJ didnt have our personalized CD so we danced to a song that was not our own, same for the parents.

Well this has been bothering me so much that I have a permanent ache in my stomach when people bring up the wedding. YEAh the disaster was avoided of not having a DJ at all and by all accounts we had a beautiful day/night but it just was not exactly as I had it planned.

And it doesnt help that one of my so called friends had the most perfect wedding and all these comments about her being smug that all didnt go as planned. (the video shows her face and attitude ..plus comments from other guests) Then there is me feel ing I looked atrotiously chubby in my dress....

I know I should be happy but this is bothering me so much privately. DH doesnt know. He thinks that our day was bliss.

jealousy is there but I cant understand why.
She had a beautiful day and so did I. We have been friend for half my life. So sad if this is all truely the reason why.

I am right there with you. My cousin who was a BM and basically my best friend and second sister all my life was awful to me leading up to the wedding. Day of she was good but, before then I got such an attitude from her. I still am because we are moving 20 mins away instead of 5 blocks like I have been all these years. Most people say she is jealous because I am married and she doesn't even have a boyfriend.

I know how you feel about the wedding issues. I am still upset that my DJ screwed up so many things. My photographer only took about 1/2 the amout of pictures that I had in my contract. There were so many he could have taken and didn't. I get upset every time I look at my proofs thinking how much more there should be. My dress was altered wrong and you could see my bra every time I sat down, my bustle wasn't done right and it looked terrible all night long. My day was so much hotter then it should have been for May and I am shiny in way too many pictures. Despite all these things (and some more), everybody I talked to said what a wonderful wedding we had. They had a great time, they could tell I went to a lot of trouble to make everything right. I heard from quite a few that this was the best wedding ever and I was the most beautiful bride.
I think we all need to put things into perspective and know that we are with the men of our dreams!! No matter what, our wedding day is ours good, not so good or otherwise and there is nothing that can be done now. Just focus on the wonderful long lives ahead of us!!

Once it's over and done with, then you cant ever change the situation...my belief is that you can continue dwelling on it and feel horrible or feel better and be happy about the good things...because no matter how you feel, it will never change what did happen....

ont dwell so much...enjoy your new life that has started SINCE the wedding..your a newlywed...have fun with that....

I'm so sorry, but you can't change the past! Focus on the highlights and special points of the day!

I'm sure your day was beautiful even without a dj for 2 hours. I'm sure you guests had a wonderful time and you looked stunning!

Don't burn your dress. Why not burn down the DJ place? Ok, that's just a joke, but you know what I mean.

From the mouth of a babe I got my sanity back!

I asked our 13 yrd old groomsmen if he had fun at the wedding.
He said: Yeah, the food was GOOD (with a big smile) and it was nice how the DJ came just as everybody was finished eating. So I still got to dance and Joe(DH friend) gave me money for each dance I could do.

So after that little snippet he said, your friend looked like a frog dancing..she cant dance....and guess which friend he was talking about

oh and I asked him what my MIL & her cousin said about my dress, he said that they spent the whole morning talking about how beautiful I looked and how they loved the hall at night

im sorry you feel that way but yourot alone im right there with you. i have been told my several people that they loved my wedding etc but almost 6 months and i still the think about the things that werent perfect.


i hated my hair my hair dresser just wouldnt do what i wanted and i wasnt going to argue.

although my dj did have people dancing because it was that type of crowd he barely played any slow songs and the older people were sort of left out.


my photographer was told to take a picture of my centerpiece and he didnt and he was a terror to deal with lol

but the most important thing is that everyone had a good time

Isnt it strange to LOVE your day one minute and then pick it apart the next. I think we may be in withdrawl lol!
