Well, my husband was sick that day; the multi-hundred dollar photographer that my mom hired sucked; and the woman in my ward who came to do my hair and makeup that morning (it was her wedding gift to me, and was free, so I shouldn't really complain) decided also to do my mom's, making us an hour and a half late to the temple. My mom liked how her hair turned out, but re-did her makeup in the car anyway.
I would have stood my ground and not let my MIL have such a say in the things that I did. I felt like I made decisions about things based on her and my very grouchy SIL. It was rough. I wish I would have done what I wanted to do and told them where to stick it. :0)
7:36 here. I also would have refused to open up my gifts after the reception. Our reception ran over by about an hour and we had a 3 hour drive just to make it to our hotel. We got in REALLY late, like 1:00am and just crashed. The only reason I opened my gifts then was because my MIL said that it would be rude to not open her relative's gifts. Again, I should have stood my ground. Man, I was such a pushover!
I wish I would have been thinner. I dont like looking back at pics because I'm not happy with how I looked. I wish I would have also stood my ground about not having a line I could have actually enjoyed my reception and visited with family and friends from out of town!! Those darm Mothers in law!
We had hardly any time for pictures at the temple, and so we have very few typical "wedding day" pictures of me and my husband. There's literally like only 4 goods one. It breaks my heart sometimes. So, I would've insisted on more time for pictures of just the two of us!
Oh, and we were unable to find a get away car from the reception, so my parents had to take us to the hotel (awkward!). But then, we were supposed to leave at 9:30 but my mom didn't want to leave and make everyone else clean up, and so we were the last people to leave our reception at 11:00 pm. Yeah, I would've changed that.
I wished I would have had a better photographer. I chose to use this guy because he was cheap and thought he did a pretty good job. I hate every picture. My bridals, temple pics, engagement, reception, hate them all.
Now I look at all my friends who are getting married and their pictures are gorgeous and fun, it makes me sad
MY HAIR. My hairdresser had a family member die and had to fly across the country the day before, and so I let my sister in law do my hair....WOW. It turned out horrible, so I hate my pictures even though we paid a ton of money for a photographer and she was AMAZING. I hate looking at my wedding day pics. My bridals are awesome, but the wedding day ones SUCKED!!! I wish I was as thin as I used to be so I could slide into my wedding dress again and do them over!!
Our wedding was an exceptionally small and inexpensive affair. It worked for us, but there are a couple things I would have liked to be different.
It would have been nice to have a reception with a wedding cake - the wedding was kind of last minute, so there wasn't time to plan much more than a simple luncheon.
Also, we didn't have a photographer - our parents took the pictures. I don't really mind, but it would have been nice to have at least a few professional ones as well.
I would have made everything more simple. We have talked about it and we should have taken the money we used on the reception and use it to pay for plane tickets for the family to go to Hawaii and get married in the Hawaii temple. Then maybe a small open house when we got back.
This isn't really a wedding thing, but I wish we had splurged and gone on a real honeymoon. We were poor and thought it would be wise to just save our money. If I could go back, I would just put it all on a credit card and pay it off with all the wedding gift money we ended up getting! We've been married 5 years now, have 2 kids, and have STILL never been anywhere out of state together! Pathetic!
Peaches - I just have to say that I laughed out loud at your parents dropping you off at the hotel. (Sorry) I would have died of embarassment!
I would not fight with my mother to where we didn't speak until Christmas.
Other than that, it was beyond perfect. We had a total party at the reception and I LOVED it.
I liked my wedding dress, but I feel like I chose it because my mom, sister, and sisters-in-law liked it best. I wish I would have chose the one I liked best. Also, I would have chose a better photographer. One thing that ate up a lot of my budget was a videographer, but that is one thing I don't regret at all. He did an awesome job and it's a lot of fun to watch it on our anniversary.
My dress!! I got that one because it was cheap and I didn't want my parents to spend any more than they already have. But that's something I did to myself. My mom would have been happy with anything I picked out.
I also wouldn't have had a line. We had over 300 guests (no kidding!) and we pretty much spent the entire reception in that dang line.
Wished we would have saved all the money on dumb wedding crap and eloped to Hawaii or something!!!!
I would have told my family to go to Hell...and eloped!
A better photographer. I wish my mom wouldn't have done a presto chango on the dinner menu without telling me. But other than that, I loved it! Oh, I would have had Peonies at my wedding too.
I would have like to have someone professionally take our pictures at the temple. We just had some friend do it. they looked ok still but I like the look of professional pictures. I also would have changed the location of the reception. Not many people came!
Definitely the pictures. We lived in northern Wyoming but got married in Salt Lake. We didn't know a good photographer from a bad one...didn't do much research...and didn't have a ton of money to spend. I have always been disappointed with my pictures. Oh well. :)
wish I eloped and saved all that money. I fed 300 people and half I didn't even know!!!!!!!GGRRRRRR!
Wish I would have hid my truck better. Last thing I wanted to do before starting the 'Wedding Night' was cut through 2 inches of saran wrap and try to drive while looking through dried whipped cream and oreo cookie halves.

10:12 am--
it's ok, I crack up every time I tell someone about it. It WAS embarrassing! I hugged them when we got out of the car and was like, "Bye mom and dad! I'm gonna have sex!" Not really, but that was what I was thinking. It sucked at the time, but it's a great story now!
Well said "D". You crack me up!
Ahh, Peaches, I'm right there with you. My parents picked us up at the airport AFTER our honeymoon. I couldn't look them in the eye!
Thank you 4:29PM. :)

D, my husband said the same thing! It must be a guy thing, don't mess with their cars!
A guy thing?? Why would ANYONE enjoy cleaning off their car? I think car decorating is the most obnoxious tradition. Another reason I'm glad my husband and I eloped to the temple without telling anyone besides our bishops. I wouldn't have changed one single thing about my wedding day.
I think eloping is lame. I understand not having a big reception or wedding but I'm glad my family got to be involved with our happy day. Our reception was very small with our closest family and friends.
I would have remembered to hide my laptop better in the car or had taken it into the hotel with me the night of our wedding. Our window got smashed on our car and they stole my laptop that night! What a way to wake up the morning after!!!!
What wouldn't I change? My dress was okay, and the location. But I definitely would have done better flowers and better bridesmaid dresses. I also would have hired a different photographer, he sucked! And done a bigger lunch after the wedding, it was just refreshments! And I would not have let my husband have a say in what kind of wedding cake we had, chocolate!
I would have NOT gotten married in the temple... therefore I would have had a sexy dress (not one with CAP sleeves) and alcohol at my wedding... talk about lame. Also, the half of my family that is not LDS would have seen us get married. Needless to say, we're renewing our vows and doing it the right way.
The only thing I would change is the groom. LOL Needless to say I am (very happily) divorced. =)
