if you could redo your wedding all over again...
i would have had a SMALL wedding...i thought it was gorgeous...but the # of people really what a waste!
Re: if you could redo your wedding all over again...
I would have made sure the band made sure that my dad was in the room before announcing the first father daughter dance. I ended up doing dad's song with step dad and stepdad's song with dad. I still don't think my dad understands why I danced with stepdad first. Otherwise it was fun and beautiful and I want to do it again!
i wouldn't have?
okay no really. different dress. different venue. smaller crowd. WAY less money. we didn't last long and looking back I was (am probably still) too young.
at the time i thought it was pretty though.
So Tasty, So Yummy
I would have shopped for a dress more. Mine was ok, but I didn't love it like I should have.
But that's it. I loved our wedding and would do it all over again in a second.
i wouldn't have been such a control freak about every tiny detail. i would have just let people do their jobs!!!
i don't regret having a big wedding. everyone had a great time, and i was very happy to share the day with so many people. there are a lot of fashiony things i might have done differently but for the most part, i loved it and it was a wonderful day.

I'd probably have bought the dress I fell in love with. My dress was great, but I tried on one that was perfect and skipped it because of the cost (although my mom offered to buy it for me.)
I'd have sprung for a videographer. We had no idea how hilarious our ceremony was going to be!
I would have paid the extra $ for a band (or looked harder for a really top notch DJ). Our DJ was just ok and although we had a great time, a better one or a band could have pumped it up more.
Other than that, we had just over 100 people and I loved every second of it. It was totally representative of who we are as a couple.
DH and I were just talking last week about how much we regret not taking a honeymoon...or ANY time for ourselves after the wedding. We paid for most of the wedding and decided against a honeymoon. We said we would take a weekend trip once we got back to Texas....a month after our wedding I found out I was pregnant.
The wedding we had was my DH's dream wedding. As much as I hated everything except our ceremony I wouldn't have changed it a bit, because it made him so happy.
My dream wedding would have had less than 20 guests & probably wouldn't have even had a reception. Just the church ceremony. Other than the 250 people I wish weren't there I did have a beautiful wedding ceremony.

I would have gone to the Dr. on Thursday when I started to feel like I was getting sick. I was so.freakin.sick. on my wedding day that one of my first thoughts of the day was "can I just go to bed and stay there"? I was at the grocery store at midnight the night before getting orange juice and cough syrup. My MOH was a nurse at the hospital closest to the hotel, so when I was coughing my head off while getting my hair done she called one of the Drs and he called in a Z Pack for me. I started the Z Pack at the reception because that was the first time I really ate all day. At least the meds saved the HM.
I would have had a different DJ. Mine was a last minute switch from the one I had chosen and was so excited about (she left the company) and her replacement was AWFUL.
Another vote for this.
the only thing i'd change is a better photog and videog. at the time, i didnt really know better, i think the more "artsy" trend in photography was just starting or just hitting my circle of friends. I used a family friend and dont have any "fun" pictures. we used a really cheap videographer and while I have the basics, its just blah.
but thats it. i loved every minute of the day except for the things I couldnt change, ie mother nature bringing in an awful storm that knocked out power.

Me too.
I really enjoyed my wedding day... I would maybe change the date so that SIL could have been there so she didn't make my hubby upset right after our vows therefore preventing us from getting professional pictures of the wedding party.
Other than that... I REALLY had a great time at my wedding.
On another note... I thought your DJ was ok, Odear. :-) Somethingchangd and I had a GREAT time.
Thank you! He got better after I screamed at him "you will play what my friends request!"
I had a few friends come up to tell me that he kept saying their requests were not on my "play list". I didn't have a "play list"! I had a do not play list, but it was stuff like the macarena....not Michael Jackson!
And your SIL's behavior on your wedding day still makes me so mad for you and J!
I would have eloped and not married my X.
My wedding was great and I had tons of fun, but if I get married again, I will most likely spend the money on traveling.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
