So married girls...what were your lil snags...

Haaaaaa...well, thank goodness for my Mom and MOH because a lot of my snags were made to be no big deal because of them...also I was pretty calm the whole day and basically didn't care when things went wrong.

My biggest issue was with my DOC...unfortunately. She's a very sweet girl but she was pretty much almost useless to me the day of...like I said, my Mom and MOH really took care of a lot of stuff and because of them things ran really smoothly...but I really didn't want them to have to be doing all that, I just wanted them to be able to sit back and relax...instead they were doing my DOC's job.

1) We were running late and waiting on the bus and couldn't go because there was a truck just sitting in the parking lot blocking us...my DOC was sitting in her car behind the bus doing nothing about it. My MOH and Mom took care of that one and then we left, but we lost time and DH and I had to take pics during the CH which I didn't want to do...but...oh well.

2) Once we got to the RH all of a sudden my videographer and photographers come up to me and tell me that my Rabbi is telling them they can't move around during the ceremony at all...that was literally the first I heard of it from her. I basically told her to go screw, that I paid them to do a job and they're gonna do it...she was concerned with them being all up under the chuppah which I knew they wouldn't be. They did their job the way I wanted, so whatever.

3) There was a miscommunication and because of it there was no mic or speakers at our ceremony...I'm pretty sure at least half of the guests couldn't hear anything that was going on and the other half probably could only hear when DH and I said our vows

4) I didn't realize that the florist was not going to be the one to put the flowers on our cake...the chef at the RH did it and he didn't do it the way I had originally intended for it to be...it looked fine, just not what I had wanted.

5) I don't even know who my bridal attendant was...I remember she came in to the bridal suite after the ceremony to get our dinner order but I never saw her again after that...DH and our photographer were keeping us in drinks and stuff.

Honestly there's probably more that I'm forgetting and the DOC thing is pretty upsetting to me...but...I REALLY loved my day and I really feel like the things that did go wrong did not affect my enjoyment of the day at all...I was so calm the day of and nothing was gonna bring me down

We forgot to bring the RB pillows when we left the hotel. We noticed it as we were almost to church, so my limo driver stopped in a Catholic supply store around the block from my church and picked one up. Only that same pillow had a music box in it that played 'Jesus Loves Me' and once my RB figured that out, he was playing it through the whole ceremony

.

i cant even tell you how much this cracked me up

We did not have any snags. DH & I met with all of our vendors the week of the wedding & reviewed everything. I also had everything typed up for them so they couldn't mess anything up.

The two things I noticed that I was unhappy with after the fact where both my own fault.

1. I completely forgot to discuss photos I had to have with the photographer. (There is no picture of DHs face when he first sees me & there is no picture of my flower girls walking down the aisle)

2. My flower girls & ring bearer did not come to the Botanical Gardens for pictures & looking back I would have loved to have pictures with them. (They didn't come because my brother & SIL wanted them to take naps - which they did)

eta my dj didnt do what we asked him to do. and he couldnt mix songs together for the life of him. like we stopped ont he dance floor cuz there were two songs playing at the same time. jeez

my bothers shoes didnt fit (his fault that he didnt go to the place and try everything on). My DOC ran to the tux place and exchanged them

my flowers in my bok were dead and the ribbon was white instead of ivory. the ribbon wasnt a biggie but the florist came from baldwin to mineola to add more live flowers and change the ribbon. all the bouts were smushed up from hugging everyone by intros. we had 2 extra bouts which my DOC had and was able to change DH.

my photog didnt take pics of us in the most picturesque parts of the hall. i didnt submit a must take list cuz they had told us they were very familiar with the location.

my dress was too tight. i almost passed out in the ceremony. in the limo i was so uncomfortable. i couldnt sit up cuz the bones were digging into my ribs. i couldnt lay down cuz i had 1894304 pins in my hair.my DOC and MOH ripped out some of the bones (as i stood naked in the bathroom with them for an hour) and it helped slightly. but i wanted to die. i had such a headache and stomachache the whole day. i just felt like shitt all day long it was so depressing.

1. We had a rolls royce and a limo. My parents and I were going in the rolls, everyone else in the limo. I wasnt seeing DH till the Swan Club. The limo driver decided it would be a good idea to leave the hotel with DH, GM's, And FOG, leaving behind my grandmother, MOG, MOH and FG. We waited quite awhile for the limo to return and we decided to go ahead to the Swan Club and let them behind. It took well over 1.5 hours for them to get there and it wasnt that far away.

2, DH forgot our Sand ceremony, The swan club came to the rescue and quickly made me one. WE had the sand just not the container.

3. The officiant kept reminding me we needed to stay on schedule. He skipped several parts of the ceremony and the sand ceremony.

1 - This just keep supsetting me everytime I looke at pictures. I LOVED the way my hair came out and told my cousin we were going to take pictures onthe beach (she claims she didn't know). By the time we got the CLM my hair was a mess and not one of my 8 BM's, mom, friends, no one even told me to try and fix it. So i am just upset about how i look in all the pics at the reception

2 - night before the wedding, mom could not zipper her dress, that she could zipper a week before. we had to get water pills at the pharmacy and run to macy's at 9pm to get spanx. she lost 4 pounds by the morning from the pills and it all worked out, but I was hysterical crying the night before

3 - my sisters (MOH) dress ripped and she had to cut off the bottom

4 - there are pics missing, me and my BIL, etc... i never put them on the list, but I guess I just assumed certain pictures would be taken and they were not.... hopefully I will be surprised when i get my proofs this week!

To be quite honest I didn't have any snags on the big day.....I think one of the reasons I didn't was because...

First, DH and I had the best DOC's ever!!

Second, we kept everything simple. We didn't care to do a lot of detail stuff, coz in the whole scheme of things the one stressing over it would have been us and us alone.

LOL @ the RB with 'jesus loves me'

me too!!

Not too much really...

My boutineeres were wrong, when I got to the church and saw the guys wearing daisys I was not happy. But thats why I hired the house florist so when we got to the RH I asked him to come talk to me and he said the flower I wanted came in half dead and he didn't want to provide that so I thought that was nice he was honest and came to speak with me.

The maitre'd tried kicking us out of the photo room early but my mom set him straight

And the kicker.....Dh stepped on my dress and my bustle broke, what a PIA to carry the train all night. My BA tried to fix it with pins but it didn't hold. It wasn't a big deal bc I was having the time of my life!

I cant stop laughing..

I didn't even know about it until my BP told me about it in the party bus after. I still need to watch my ceremony on the video so I can actually hear it. At least it was a religious song in the church and not something obscene, lol.

hair lady came early for my bridesmaids , but the lady who did MY hair and all of the girls makeup was late and caused me to not be able to take any pics at home with the family and I couldnt be relaxed...she was literally curling my hair when I should have been walking out the door to the church ! ......we were so late so we had to leave the hair people all alone at my house to clean up their stuff because I had to get to the church !! I did not want them alone in my house but there was no one that could stay with them !! Unfortunately she ended up stealing my left over UN-USED BRAND NEW hair extensions!! They cost me a lot of money and they are gone !!!

My hair flopped from the humidity and had to be re-curled TWICE before the reception

my veil kept catching on the beading of my gown !! it was really annoying

One of the shuttle buses provided by the hotel ' broke down' and some of my guests including my grandparents were late for the cocktail hour

My cake was wrong. They added some weird ridiculous piece of fondant on each of the bows and it looked so stupid. Also, the top layer of the cake was not all the way ATTACHED. I see it in pics and I feel so embarassed.

My Petticoat would not stay closed and kept falling down all night. It would literally be down around my knees at some points. I had to just take it off half way during the reception. I really wanted to keep it on because it made my dress look much more fuller

I asked for purple uplighting, and they gave me hot pink

the tv's from the DJ were not working for the first half hour of the wedding. then when they played my photo montage, it cut out right at the end then they ended up replaying that section . Also the gobo that I paid $250 for was blurry and didnt look right

I never got to go to my CH. I missed out on that and I did not get to enjoy my Vienesse Hour. I ate proactically nothing that day

I also dont have any pics of family. Only a few from the church and I hate them. I dont have any pics of DH smoking a cigar from the cigar roller I had.

one of the gms fell as the guys were coming off the party bus to get beers and on the way back somehow, he cut his hand BAD and had to have 18 stitches, 10 outside, and 8 inside, he missed all our pics before reception, which was obv fine, he was in the hosp. What a trooper he was because during cocktail hr, he came walking into the bridal suite.

Other than that, nothing major, we were just pulled in all directions saying hi to everyone, taking pics, and enjoying ourselves.

P.S- Oh and the party bus was late showing up to DH which he was pissed about but the owner called the next day to apologize.

OMG that's crazy!!!!

ok this is going to sound absurd but it REALLY annoyed me. I had 'don't stop believin' on our must-play list. the DJ played the DANCE version, not the original. SOOOOO not me!!!

I sent in all the paperwork to my DJ's, and called to confirm that they had received it and put it in our folder (song selections, introductions, must play, do not play). 5 minutes before our entrance, he comes out and says 'have you picked an entrance song? who is walking in with who?' and he had a ilttle piece of paper and a pen to write it on. Yeah, the alleged folder somehow didn't make it to my DJ and MC.

Woodlands gave us half teal napkins and half sea green. We had definitely chosen only sea green. Our cake table had this burgundy colored linen on it, as did our sweetheart table. Our BM was well aware that our colors were lavender, pale green, and ivory.

Some of our centerpieces caught on fire.

I left explicit instructions, typed out and clearly labled and taped to the side of my box of favors, with instructions on how I wanted the ribbons tied after the cheesecakes went in. I even brought a sample to the RH and showed my BM how to do it and left the sample with her. She assured me it would be done correctly. Well, I see my BA, frantically putting the cakes in the boxes RIGHT OUTSIDE the reception room as guests are ALREADY LEAVING (at the piano, for you woodlands girls), and randomly tying them. I asked her what she was doing, that it was wrong. She said 'I THOGUHT IT LOOKED BETTER THIS WAY'

REALLY????? Ugh I am so mad just thinking about this.

We weren't given cake. We had to ask for cake.
I had to go to the bar to get myself a drink at one point. Water, no less, because there wasn't any left in my glass.

The car door on the Rolls FLEW OPEN when we were on our way to the church! I thought my dad was going to fall out - I screamed 'DADDY!!!!' like a 5 year old girl, and reached out to grab his arm.

Our priest was completely unprepared for our ceremony. I don't know how, but he was. He cut things out that we had gone over. The rehearsal at the church was a disaster - the priest wasn't even there. that should have been my clue.

I have no idea what happened to my blessed mother bo-k. I know I ordered it. I know I paid for it. Never saw it.

Couldn't wear my garter bc you could see it thru my dress.

Makeup artist was about an hour late, maybe a little more.

My shoes hurt so badly I wanted to cut my feet off, but I had nothing to change into. Barefoot Jefferson!

DO NOT get me started on the garden city hotel. I will start throwing things around my office. Enough said.

Ummm I think that's it?

OMG...You had so many 'little things'! Although, out of everything, this is what really caught my attention! How did you centerpieces catch on fire?? That's awful....but the image is kind of . Sorry.
