Knottie repeat ques now that many of us are back from HM
I'm catching up on TK posts I missed after the wedding/HM. I'm probably gonna repost some when the board was slow! I don't think you girls will mind!
**If you could do it all again would you do anything different?
Re: Knottie repeat ques now that many of us are back from HM
I would choose another venue, not because they screwed us, I can kinda deal with that, but because for MONTHS I stressed about it until my mom dropped off a HUGE check and then I was stuck...I just kept saying to myself, if theres a natural disaster tomorrow my family has no savings because of my one day.....it was stressful.
I would pick a venue that I could add on hours and not cost and arm and a leg or have a ceremony some where else so I could take longer for formals and not rush them and then go to my reception without missing a minute.
I would also do colorful bouquets and not "white" cuz they were yellow and green even though I asked for NO green anywhere.
I think thats about it!
OH! and I would have gotten my eye brows done the week before instead of the day before. I've NEVER broken out after eye brow wax and I got them done the day of e pics too, but the day of the wedding....I had about 7 zits over one of my eyes, I looked like a lizard. I looked at my roommate of 3 years and said, "when was the last time I had a zit?" She was like I have no idea, never! But of course on my wedding day!
The kicker is after I walked down the isle I saw Andys eyes look at them and on the honeymoon I called him out for it jokinly and he was like, sorry...he noticed right away!
The only thing I can think of is that I would have LOVED to have a videographer (or even just a family member with a camcorder) tape the ceremony, and the toasts at dinner. I've forgotten so much! And our coordinator lost the best man's speech notes, so we don't have those for our wedding box (although we do have the MOH's speech notes, and our pastor is giving us a copy of what she wrote up for the ceremony, so I'm happy about that).
The only other thing that I wished had been different (but no one had any control over): I found during my bachelorette party that my friend E (one of my best friends, and one of my BMs) had just been diagnosed with sarcoma, had to have the tip of one finger amputated, and was awaiting biopsy results of some lymph nodes to determine her prognosis. She wasn't telling anyone, and most understandably, her mom (who is like my second mom) was very quiet and upset at our spa day the day before and at the wedding. I wish both of them hadn't had to deal with that, and could have enjoyed the weekend a little more.
Thankfully, her lymph node biopsy came back while I was on our honeymoon, and it hadn't spread, so she's basically doing fine (the amputation should have taken care of everything because they got good clean margins). Yay! 
But other than that, I LOVED our wedding, and wouldn't have changed any of it.
It was truly a wonderful day.
