If you could go back and re-do one thing in your wedding, what would it be?
I would have hired the first photographer I interviewed. She was a bit more expensive, but I think she could have done a better job.
Re: Wedding Re-do
I would have made sure we got to talk to all of our guests.
We thought we would have enough time to go table-to-table to talk to everyone, but our photographers took us outside for some pictures at sunset. I knew they were going to do this, but I didn't realize it would cut in to our time to greet everyone. By the time we got back in we went right in to the cake cutting, dances, etc. By the time we were done with all of that, people were up and mingling so it was hard to make sure we talked to everyone. There are some people I didn't get to talk to at all
Elope like I wanted to.
OR
make H plan the whole thing since he's the only one who ever wanted a wedding.

Different bridal salon, the bridal salon completely fudged up my alterations. I was horrified the day of. My last fitting they took it in too much, I told them to take it back out (and no I didn't gain a lb between the week). I picked it up and they didn't have a room available for me to try it on but promised it was all perfect.
Well day of, the dress could not hold my boobs and only covered them half way. So the whole morning/ceremony it looked like my boobs were pouring out! I had told them a million time I wanted my chest covered from a certain part up, "no worries, it will be perfect."
Oh and when i put my dress on the lace was falling off under my arm, where they altered it.
Needless to say I was uncomfortable the whole night and my pictures show it.
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~
DH was not ready for IUI so we waited
~Started acupuncture in May 2014~
~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
Would've had one! DH & I did the courthouse thing on a wednesday morning, just us - told no one then went on our honeymoon.
I do wish that we'd had a ceremony but that would have required our parents to accept the marriage... and, at the time, they did not.
I would not have invited as many of my co-workers that I did. 4 of them RSVP'd that they were coming as were their spouses and they didn't show up. I wound up being laid off a few months after the wedding.

This!
I thought the same thing.

Our venue was gorgeous! But!.. My mother did the decorations and it looked too cheap for the place. I would have done a different hairstyle, and taken my veil off after the ceremony instead leaving it on the entire time.
My Ovulation Chart
My flowers. I don't know what happened....all the bridesmaids bouquets were perfect. But for some reason mine was not at all what I'd requested from the florist. It was clunky looking, and really badly put together, looking back at the photos. I didn't even think of it at the time because I was so excited/nervous, but looking back its just kinda ugly looking! lol. All the flowers I'd asked for were in the bridesmaids bouquets and I had chunks of hygrengas and big fat callah lillies poking out in mine that I specifically asked to be exclued! Grr.
Also, our venue only did daytime weddings. And as amazing as it was, part of me wishes we could have partied on into the night.
Not really a single thing.
Although if we would've remembered, I would have grabbed DH's grandpa for a couple of pictures. He's somewhat of an "outsider", and the only picture we have with him is of him giving us a hug after the ceremony. He's the only grandparent DH has left.
