How do you usually celebrate your anniversary? We usually go to dinner
If you could go back and redo one thing from your wedding what would it be? Location, dress, attendants etc. It would be the timing. We scheduled it around SD's school schedules and then they didn't even come.
Do you and your SO/DH plan on renewing your vows? If so where? I'm not sure. We may do it one day so all of the kids can be there but getting SD's to commit for a trip or planning is still nearly impossible so not anytime soon. Maybe our 10 year?

YOU ARE SO ADORABLE!

watercolor5 · January 2014

Your wedding date: March 22, 2008
Colors of your wedding: pastels and greens
How do you usually celebrate your anniversary? dinner out, wine, hallmark cards, and sex
If you could go back and redo one thing from your wedding what would it be? Location, dress, attendants etc. The programs... I didn't even know they were making them (I was in the military and out of state, so my MIL and wedding planner planned the whole thing) Somehow they misspelled almost every single one of my bridesmaid's names, which is weird since I gave them their names in an email, so they had the correct spellings... Otherwise it was a beautiful wedding and I was so lucky I had so much help pulling it together- we were only engaged 3 months and both stationed in different states.
Do you and your SO/DH plan on renewing your vows? If so where? Nope, I don't really believe in vow renewal unless the vows you made originally have been broken. I do, however, plan on having many more honeymoons before our marriage is over

DH doesn't want me to post pics of him on public sites, but here's one of my dad walking me down the aisle...

Thank you!!

Flamingemu · January 2014

Your wedding date: April 26, 2008
Colors of your wedding: Pink & Navy
How do you usually celebrate your anniversary? Dinner out or at home, small presents
If you could go back and redo one thing from your wedding what would it be? Location, dress, attendants etc. I would elope. I had a big princess wedding because my mother wanted one since she never had it. The only reason we did that was because she was paying. We would have been just as happy to elope with some close friends and family. I had a blast that day, but looking back, it was such a waste of money.
If we were to redo exactly, I would have given clearer instructions to my DJ, he was good, but our walking in songs were wrong. I would also have changed my attendants. One of my girlfriends I don't really talk to anymore and her half smiling face ruined any picture she was in.
Do you and your SO/DH plan on renewing your vows? If so where? DH jokes that he wants to renew in Vegas with an Elvis impersonator and him in a powder blue tux, but seriously? No.

hmp1 · January 2014

Your wedding date: 10.18.08

Colors of your wedding: Black, white, with a touch of mint and pink

How do you usually celebrate your anniversary? Try our best to remember! Pre kids we would go out to see a band play.

If you could go back and redo one thing from your wedding what would it be? Location, dress, attendants etc. I would have loved to do an outdoor wedding/reception but DH didn't want to chance the weather. It ended up being a beautiful day.

Do you and your SO/DH plan on renewing your vows? If so where? We have never talked about it. I doubt it. My parents did for the 40th at our church because they had a courthouse wedding and wanted to say their vows in church.

Here is a pic of the chapel where we wed.

Holly_1007 · January 2014

Colors of your wedding: Ivory, brown, gold and green

How do you usually celebrate your anniversary? In the past we've gone out to dinner. Now a days it's Beb's birthday.

If you could go back and redo one thing from your wedding what would it be? Location, dress, attendants etc. My bustle broke at the beginning of the reception, so a stronger bustle.

Do you and your SO/DH plan on renewing your vows? Unluckily.

First dance:

kbbgg · January 2014

Your wedding date: July 31
Colours of your wedding: Mostly turquoise and black - there was a shit load of peacock feathers (in our hair, on tables, part of our feather bouquets)
How do you usually celebrate your anniversary? We ride our bicycles around drinking cans of pilsner, usually pick up hot wings and eat them on a stoop somewhere then head home and bang it out.
If you could go back and redo one thing from your wedding what would it be? One thing? I'd change so much. Or elope.
Do you and your SO/DH plan on renewing your vows? If so where? I'd like to eventually... probs in Maui. We spent a month there once and it was THE best.
Bonus points for a picture from your special day.
Photo of me napping at the bar before going to the reception. We were slamming beers all afternoon because it was too hot to take any more photos outside and I just didn't care. Photo of first dance.
I have no idea where any other photos are.

LyndseylovesHugh · January 2014

Your wedding date: April 17, 2010

Colors of your wedding: Black as a base and then bright flowers that were pink, orange and green. Our centerpieces had limes in them along with the bright flowers, I loved them!

How do you usually celebrate your anniversary? We have only been together for one of the three we have had :-( H has been in training and deployed during most of them. The one we were together we found out Audrey was a girl and then went out for a nice dinner, so that was an awesome day!

If you could go back and redo one thing from your wedding what would it be? Location, dress, attendants etc. Nothing really, I thought everything was perfect!

Do you and your SO/DH plan on renewing your vows? If so where? We have never discussed doing this, I would not be opposed though but I don't feel like it is necessary.

First kiss:

The bridal party

One of my favs

klgrh6 · January 2014

Your wedding date:03/26/2011

Colors of your wedding: chocolate brown/ champagne & orange flowers

How do you usually celebrate your anniversary? Look through our photo book or watch the video. Dress up & go out for a nice dinner. We've planned to stay at the B&B we honeymooned at for the past few anniversaries but it hasn't happened yet.

If you could go back and redo one thing from your wedding what would it be? Location, dress, attendants etc. I would've worked harder to loss weight.I actually weigh less now than when we got married. And hate how I look in the picture. Everything else was great even the sudden snow storm that dropped 5 inches is 2 hours.

Do you and your SO/DH plan on renewing your vows? If so where? Maybe at the 10/20 year mark just to have another reception. No idea where.

Your wedding date: 9-10-11
Colors of your wedding: teal and orange, sounds gross but we got married in San Juan, PR
How do you usually celebrate your anniversary? Well our first anniversary was celebrated with a 3 day old baby, and last year we made dinner and enjoyed it at home.
If you could go back and redo one thing from your wedding what would it be? Location, dress, attendants etc. I would've asked for more help. I took on waaay too many projects by myself and I was a wreck.
Do you and your SO/DH plan on renewing your vows? If so where? Yes, not sure where. We may go back to where we got married, but anywhere would be good!

Here is one of my cake because I loved it so much, and you can see that the colors weren't haneous together

TiffanyT85 · January 2014

Wedding date: May 22 2010, long weekend!

Colours were royal blue, lime green, white and silver

I would actually plan out a thank you speech. The best man and everyone else did such a great job, I wish I had been able to put as much time in as they did.

We used to go on short long weekend trips to celebrate, but now it is normally a night out. Last year my parents stayed at our house, and we stayed at a nice hotel downtownand went to a play and diner.

I don't think we will do a vow renewal, but I would never say never.

Photos of my cake, the bridal party and two of me. One is with my dad and the other is when the photog told me to make a serious face and I busted laughing.

Charcoal grey and yellow with some orange

How do you usually celebrate your anniversary?

Since we've only had one anniversary so far we just went out to dinner. This year we are planning a small getaway to a wine country near our home for a few days since we didn't have a honeymoon.

If you could go back and redo one thing from your wedding what would it be? Location, dress, attendants etc.

I wouldn't invite my extended family (mainly cousins) or my dad's side of the family (he was the only that came but left right after the ceremony). I kinda saved a lot of money if didn't rsvp yes and then didn't show up.

Also my hair. I hated it. It was nothing like I wanted.

We haven't talked about but I don't think so.

I would redo having a wedding party. I wanted it to be just me and DH. But he wanted his guys which I understand but my bridesmaids weren't very cooperative. My MOH was late for everything!

I want to renew our vows some day! Preferably on a beach!

Sorry if the pictures show up big! I haven't been on here in forever I just got a new phone and remembered my password!

How do you usually celebrate your anniversary? Um... honestly.. we rarely do... maybe dinner, Sad?

If you could go back and redo one thing from your wedding what would it be? Location, dress, attendants etc.
DONT DO IT IN VEGAS, we had a great time and I loved that it was so easy but I couldn't PERSONALLY do anything unless we took a trip. My cake looked like a 4 year old did it (compared to the photo I sent) my accent colors were ALL wrong and my flowers, BUT we had a great time and at least the things that were wrong or messed up weren't a huge deal ;]

Do you and your SO/DH plan on renewing your vows? If so where? Maybe one day no plans though
