I can't believe this week is almost over already, it flew by!
My question of the day today has to do with second guessing choices and decisions we have made so far for the wedding. What was the hardest choice you have made so far for the wedding and did you second guess it?
Now my answer:
I am probably one of the most indecisive people ever, so I second guess everything. But the hardest for me was the the RH. I fell in love with a bunch of the ones I saw, booked one and then canceled it! Then when I went back to get another, I had to move the date because my original date was taken! Then I was torn between two. It was a mess but I ultimately had to weigh the pros and cons and I am in love with my choice. Everything else pretty much fell into place so far. I do have a feeling choosing my dress will be a close second though! I can see myself going back and forth.

The biggest choice for me to make was the reception hall... there are so many choices out there. Sometimes I regret not looking into more, every time I come on to LIW there are so many RHs that sound and look amazing, and sometimes I wish I had just checked them out instead of only looking into 2-3.

I'm still going back and forth between RHs because the one I really want is where my sister had her reception. I don't want my family to think it's her wedding all over again (she's 11 months older than me). Then again, I know in my mind no other reception hall will live up to the quality for the price and I don't want my family to think my wedding is not as good as hers......
UGH! Sweet 16, right after her...graduation, right after her...21st birthday, right after her.........it's exhausting being younger!

The RH was the biggest decision that we made. We were on our 16th visit before we made the decision, and we still would've had 3 more appointments to go if we didn't book.
I'm so picky and I'm so nervous, and I imagined the RH deciding process to be so time consuming and grueling. However, we booked on the spot because we fell in love with the place!
My regret isn't about the place at ALL. I just would've loved to keep looking at RH's just for the heck of it, because I LOVED looking at them lol! It was so much fun, and I would've kept doing it forever.

I would have to say I had a hard time finding a dress...but once I found it it was an easy decision...booking the honeymoon was hard too because we didnt know where we wanted to go...but once we figured it out..it was easy booking that too

I second guess everything also. I guess I would have to say our RH also. We booked the first RH we saw and I felt a little pressured to agree to book it. FH really wanted to get married at our hall and his mom was very persistent on booking the hall to keep the date. I, on the other hand, wanted to wait and discuss the situation over with my dad, who is also paying for half of the wedding. We booked the hall without speaking to my dad and I did regret it for a while afterward.
Whenever I see girls talking about their RH's on here I sometimes wonder what else I could have booked. Don't get me wrong, I love the room we booked at the RH, but it is very expensive and I do regret our parents having to pay so much just for the RH. Our parents don't have any problems paying for it, but I do know my dad was a little reluctant at first. But he told me later on, I only get married once and I'm his only daughter and that I deserve it. It did make me feel better about everything but I do wonder what other things could we have gotten if we booked a less expensive RH.

I am very indecisiove, but FH is even more indecisive. So to date, the RH has been the biggest decision and we second guessed a lot. But now we know 100% we love it.
I have a suspicion that my dress will be an even harder decision...already second guessing style I want to try on...

Mine was probably my dress. I was torn between two and literally lost sleep over it. But one kept popping into my head more than the other......so that's how I decided
The only thing I have second guessed is what time I'm having my reception. I picked 2 pm for the ceremony and the reception is right after. I don't know if its too early but I picked it because of how the sunlight just comes in and illuminates the place during the day - its so pretty...

Sometimes I second guess my RH... it is a little pricey and we are still having an afternoon wedding! I know I could have had a Saturday night wedding someplace else with more guests fo the same price. I know I wanted a smaller wedding but I wonder if it'll cause family issues because of the people I have decided to keep off of my guest list.
But I love my hall and I know that every guest I invite to my wedding I will know, none of this mom's boss, dad's friend from work stuff... so in the end I guess it all works out.

same reason I am second guessing our choice of RH! it was the priciest one we saw. I know for sure we could've booked a Saturday night for same if not less, instead of a Sunday afternoon. But I do feel that this was the best choice - it's very 'us'. and I know for sure that our guests are going to be blown away. I am also second guessing the photographer we booked. I love his work, and I like his a lot, but now for some reason I am starting to be scared that our pix are gonna come out awful. crazy - I know!

At one point I second guessed our RH because it wasnt the most elegant, glam place around. It is actually very simple. But then I though we are simple people and dont love alot of glitz and realized we made the right choice. Besides the food is amazing there!!

Deciding on my dress is what I am going to struggle with. I am very undecisive, so choosing one gown out of all the beautiful ones I have been seeing is going to be so hard. I 'think' I found the one but I am still trying others on because I want to make sure.

I second guess my dress a lot. But when I do I go to the store and try it on and remember why I fell i love. Photo was something we spent more than we wanted to so I hope we have amazing pictures!
