Wedding do-over.

If you could have one do-over with your wedding what would it be?  Only one thing though.

  • Sounds so stupid but nothing.  I loved every minute of our wedding.  I don't have any regrets and I would love to re-do the entire night exactly the same. 

    Edit: I lied.  I HATED my DJ.  It was DH's cousin and he sucked.  I told him no country music and most of the music played was stupid country.  He even played that save a horse ride a cowboy song and I about punched him.  Other than that...everything was great!

  • My dress maybe?  My weight loss plan?  Maybe my original wedding party....

    But you said one, so I would say my choice of wedding dress.  Other than that, everything was excellent.

  • different photographer.

    I did not like mine. overpriced, overrated. 

  • I'd make sure that DH didn't "lose" his wallet and send my MOH and her boyfriend back to the house to find it so that she missed giving her speech and seeing us off...only to find his wallet in our car. *sigh*

     

  • I would sit next to my bff in the limo to make sure she didn't drink. She had been taking medicine for 9 months that didn't allow her to drink, and lost all her tolerance. It had only been a week that she could drink again. She threw up in the bathroom all during dinner and went home an hour into our reception. She managed through the wedding party dance, but there are absolutely zero pictures of us on my wedding night.
  • That I would have told the dj to not play dancing music until it was time to dance.

  • There were so many people at my wedding that I was so excited to see that I was waving and smiling all down the aisle...if I had it to do over, I would have ignored everyone else and had tunnel vision to  DH. 

     I tell everyone I know that's getting married to concentrate on nothing else but their husband.  I loved my wedding, but I really wish I had focused more on DH walking down the aisle.

  • My sister freaking out when extra people got in the limo and my mom was gonig to ride in someone car.

    I was like hell NO!

    BUT... My sister flipped and SCREAMED down teh street.

    Of course she was doing what I wanted but he screaming like a maniac cause DH to get really pissed and he was mad at me for over and hour almost two.

    You can tell in most our pictures he wasn't happy.

    But honestly, I probably would have just redone it ALL!

  • Different sound guy for the ceremony.  Not only did he lose the CD of all the music between his arriving and the ceremony (thankfully DH had it on his laptop and had his laptop there), no one heard the ceremony because the speakers that worked during sound check decided not to work for the real thing.  Ugh.

    "Oh, the silent majesty of a winter's morn, the clean, cool chill of the holiday air,
    an asshole in his bathrobe, emptying a chemical toilet into my sewer."
  • I would have changed hair stylists. While I loved my hair and the lady who did it, her partner was really inexperienced by the look of things. I hated how 1/2 of my bridesmaid's hair looked... Also, overpriced and underwhelming.

    That's about it though, we got off pretty easy wedding-wise! 

  • My alterations. My dress fit perfectly in the store, but once I was outside and sweaty (It was 94 that day, and we were married outside!) it was sliding down all day. Not much I could have done, but I would have chosen a more conservative neckline.

    Our photographer. She did a great job, just not quite wedding material.

  • I know I'm late to this but I wish we had a different Priest.  We loved the Priest of our church except he had to be away during our wedding so we had a fill-in who had never done a wedding at our church.  He made a ton of mistakes (mispronouncing my last name, dropping both rings, forgetting to say "you may now kiss the bride," and his cell phone went off during the ceremony!....these are just a few of the things) so the actually ceremony was super goofy but one that people will remember!

  • Such a trival thing, but I would have worn my veil for the entire night.  I took it off right after the ceremony.  Now thinking back, I'm like come on, that is the one and only time I will ever get to wear a veil, why didn't I wear it all night - it was beautiful!
  • I would have worn more make-up. And re-applied lipgloss throughout the night. I think I wear more make-up on a daily basis than on my wedding day, and when I look at the pics, it makes me cringe...ugh....
  • I would have taken over with the photographer and told my dad and the wedding planner to stop with the posed portrait shots - I have more pictures with random family and the wedding party than with my husband!! We can't find a picture for a holiday card this year!!!
  • I wish I'd gone to a better seamstress. My dress was supposed to be off-the shoulder, but the straps were too long. They took them in WAY too much and it was too high up around me.

  • Either my photographer or my dress. It would be a tough call between those two. Other than that, I did love my wedding.

  • My baker.

    I was not picky about anything for my wedding except the cake.  I wanted a polka dot cake with fondant icing.

    They did buttercream icing on the cake with fondant polka dots.  By the time we got to the reception the polka dots were sliding down the cake.

    I was crushed.  It didn't look that bad, but it looked NOTHING like the picture I showed them from Martha Stewart Weddings.

    Oh, and they tied the bow on the bottom layer wrong.

  • I wish I would have chosen a place where the wedding planner, DJ and minister spoke better english, or I had taken the time to learn a little more spanish.

    I loved my wedding, it was in Puerto Vallarta and our families and best friends were there with us all week.  Our wedding was lovely, but there were some long pauses as I struggled with the language barrier.

    Also, I have been thin my whole life, and I had gained weight the year before my wedding and I look at the pictures and don't really recognize myself lol.

    The weight thing is small though, I don't get hung up on that, I can always lose a few pounds after our little valentine gets here.

  • I would've changed the whole garter scene.  I had our best man take it off because I thought he would have fun with it cuz he's a goofy guy.  Turns out he was absolutely mortified!  I wish he would've told us he didn't want to do it cuz I could've had DH do it instead!  I feel pretty blessed that that was like the only awkward part of the whole day/night.  I had a blast on my wedding day!
  • The photographer.

    My stepmom was going to do the pictures (and she does fabulous pictures!), but she fell and had to have a hip replacement the Tuesday before my Saturday wedding. My mom ran out and hired some random girl - paid her $500 to take pictures and turn over the SD card. My aunt (who didn't come to the wedding, BTW) was going to print the pictures for me - she runs her own photography studio. My stepbrother took pictures, too, and they turned out better than the "professional", other than the fact that no one is looking at the camera in his pictures. Also, it took more than a year to get my pictures printed from my aunt.

    Yeah. 

    I would have worn a veil. But that isn't as big a deal to me as the pictures.

  • I would have given the DJ a play list. 

    He was ok, but I wish there had been more variety in what he played.
