Wedding Regrets

Re: Wedding Regrets

  • heh - the reception was beautiful and it was wonderful to have friends and family together.  Little did I know, I should have just quit while I was ahead.  First I got myocitis because of immune system just quitting and spent honeymoon in Cornwall sound asleep - then, the marriage was quite the spectacular failure - however Disney did a fabulous job  coordinating everything - I was very pleased with everything they did!
  • Nothing to do with your post but that picture of your cake just rocked my world!! It is absolutely amazing!!

  • The whole day was the worst day of my life.  

    Family ruined ours with their drama and insecurities.

    We're redoing the whole day because nothing could be salvaged with the exception that we legally got married.  Whenever I think about it - I want to cry.  

  • I'm sad that your wedding day was the worst. You should get together only the people that really love you and have a great party. Cut out the family that caused the original problems. If you don't "redo" it then you'll only remember the original bad.  Good luck.
  • stupid question but what does DH mean?

     

     

    79days till our wedding!

  • haha, reading through these I was thinking the same thing....
  • Not a stupid question at all!  Abbreviations must be avoided in a forum such as this for obvious reasons.  :o)
  • DH means Dear Husband (I think)
  • SO SORRY!  I am afraid of that very same thing!!!!   Maybe we will just elope to Vegas or something-but I have the beautiful dress, so I'm torn!?!

  • Take the dress to vegas Cool

  • Ha! I luv this!...My wedding day hasn't even come yet and I feel this way!
  • I feel the same way. Mucho drama on my side of the family, although my fiance's side has been great. Why can't parents and other family members realize that it's not their day. I'm about to tell them all to shove it.
  • Haha, in the middle of my plans I also regret not eloping! But I would love to hear it's worth all this torture! 71/2 months to go..... to end a 2 year engagement, I can't wait for it to get here already!
  • what is DH? lol. I keep seeing it in this thread and I can't figure it out
  • I am sure you were a beautiful bride!  With the stress of a wedding and every day life you can't beat yourself up about not losing weight!  I am getting married in April and hope to lose weight too, but in the end it's about me and my future husband; hey he asked me to marry him when I had a few extra pounds so obviously he loves me just the way I am - yours does too :)
  • So this has scared me to death and now Im creating a list of things not to do and to make sure I do. Like dont stress so much and take care of myself. As long as I dont get sick the for the wedding and honeymoon Ill thank my lucky stars.
  • Nothing more ugly, low class and slutty than a bride with too many drinks, a real mistake your will always regret.

    what do you mean "the marriage was quite the spectacular failure"--???  your ceremony or your actual marriage?  i hope it's not your marriage! :/

  • I regret one of my bridesmaids who made a total fool of herself at the wedding by trying to steal my sister's spot in all the photos and actually did jump in front of her in the processional!  She also got very drunk and essentially gave a college friend of mine a lapdance in the middle of the reception...  Her behavior caused quite a stir at our very small wedding - only 29 guests!

  • We decided to elope to Bali and avoid drama from my family.  We are waiting to tell the families that we are engaged until the week before or after the wedding.  It is easy for us because we do not live near either family.  Got the dress and now need to get all the plans together. The decision was hard... would like to have family but I believe the drama would ruin the day so I will just have a reception after the Honeymoon with the family.  I want the wedding to be about us and be our day so we have made it our day only!  Have been wondering if I should have the wedding video tape and hope I make the right decision and not regret it.
  • I'm not married yet, but when we did meet with our photographers they specifically asked us to speak with our parents and get a list of all the people we want group photos of. They also advised to remind our guests prior to the wedding that they are the photographers, so people taking pics with their own cameras need to make sure they stay out of the way, to optomize our time.

    I also have a friend who highly recommended a videographer, and we weren't going to hire one at all. Our friend said that there were classic funny/emotional moments that they are so happy to have caught on tap.

  • Bali sounds exciting! I would definitely videotape it and then you could show it at the reception! and if you decided you really do want family you could invite just your closest members (parents and siblings). maybe less family less drama, and you could tell them if they are going to cause trouble to stay home.
  • This was a totally un-called for comment! Just because you choose to drink at your reception doesn't make you low-class, ugly or slutty!!  Not once did she say she was falling down drunk or anything of that nature.  She just said she wished she hadn't drank as much.  Maybe she has a low tolerance for alcohol and only had two dranks.  Stop being so judgemental!!
  • Hi,

    Do you mind me asking where you ordered your hydrangeas?  We're planning to order ours online too (blue as well), and I'd love any feedback/advice you're willing to offer. 

    Thanks so much!

  • Hello, im getting married in a castle and we are looking for crests to use for invitations etc, where did you get yours? Thanks Sally

  • That's so sad!! I feel for you! In all actuality, I'm so nervous about the same thing happening at my wedding! (family drama and conflict!) 
  • ha ha! i was trying to convince my fiance to elope but he wouldn't go for it. now that we are in the middle of wedding planning and the expenses are hitting his pocketbook, we wishes we would have eloped too!

  • I regret not wearing enough jewelry on my wedding day. I regret wearing the unflattering dress I wore on my wedding day. I regret not doing my own makeup.  Plus, my wedding photographer was incredibly rude and I wish I would have selected someone else to take my pictures. My wedding day wasn't the best day of my life. I wish I would have done what I wanted to do instead of trying to make everyone else happy.
