I was just thinking about the little things that went wrong on our wedding day and was curious about everyone else ?? I always thought I'd freak out if something went wrong on our wedding day but I was so happy that I seriously didn't care.

Here are mine (most are so unimportant that only I noticed) :

1- I made my hair appointment for 9:30 & when I showed up at the salon they had it down as 10am (not a big deal because I factored in extra time) so I wound up starting around 9:45 instead

2- they gave me the wrong flowers and on my way to meet DH for before pictures the woman comes running down the stairs with the right ones lol

3- my mom was 30 minutes late for pictures and we had a very tight schedule (less than an hour for all family shots)

4- DH's father never wore his boutonniere we got him

5- the rose petals were thrown almost in a pile instead of on the sides of the aisle like I asked for

6- no one threw the rice (eco-fetti) that was passed out. I wanted a cool shot of it flying too.

7- the band didn't play our whole 'play list'

8- the ties on my bustle kept breaking

9- the cake had little sea shells on it when I specifically said 'no shells'

10- The hall didn't serve the chocolate covered strawberries I thought we were getting (I had them on the menu so people actually noticed this ooops)

We were very lucky. Almost nothing went wrong & the things that did, they really didn't matter at all.

1) The flowers for the bridesmaids weren't exaclty the right color. They were supposed to be a pinkish champagne color & when they came they were more of an off-white color. They still looked fine & I really didn't care.

2) My Aunt read the intercessions at the ceremony & the Priest told her that there would be a copy on the lecturn for her. He put the wrong one up there & she ended up having to read the sample instead of the personalized one I wrote.\

3) I decorated a basket & attached a poem to the front for the ring-for-a-kiss bells. I don't think the RH realized they were supposed to be left in the basket & they put one on each place setting. Honestly, it didn't make the slightest difference.

4) I lost my voice! I had been sick all week leading up to the wedding. Thank god, I felt absolutely fine on our wedding day, except I had a squeaky little voice. I think the Priest was a little surprised when I started saying my vows . Once again, I was on cloud 9 & it didn't really matter since I felt perfect.
