if you could redo your wedding (the actual ceremony, reception, etc), would you have done anything different? If so, what?

Nope - we had a beautiful wedding, on the perfect day, and everything went perfect. I guess the only thing I would change is to make sure my older sister got in more pictures, but she was being a pain in the ass -- well she still is a pain in the ass...but that's just her!

Not at all. We had a beautiful ceremony, and a fun reception.

I don't think I would have actually done the ceremony different, I think I would have tried really hard to lose wieght and I would have had a different dress. I like the one I had, but I might have went with something different.

I would have had the chance to dance with my Dad for the Father Daughter dance, other than that, it was pure heaven!.:D

My dad didn't even show up to my wedding. Much less a father daughter dance. We had music, but none of us our true traditional when it comes to that kind of stuff.

I had a whole beach wedding planned out and a hurricane came the earliest one has come to FL in ages, and had to change the entire thing w/in 24 hours. I appreciate all the help and amazing connections I was able to use, but I still wish fo rmy beach wedding I had planned just a tiny bit when I look at my pictures.

I got married in the courthouse :giggle... I didnt mind it though... If I could do it again though I'd have the two moms sign as the witnesses instead of both of his parents. His dad is a big baby after him and my mom got into a fight over something stupid HE did then he wanted to be a big baby and be the one to be the witness so my mom wouldnt be able to. :rolleyes: My mom laughed when I told her and said fine go ahead hehe. He's so annoying... if I had it my way he wouldnt have been there at all lol. :giggle

I would have gone ahead and invited more than family and friends to the ceremony instead of just having an open reception. Because pretty much nobody from Jason's family was going to come I only invited my close friends and my family so he wouldn't feel bad. Then we had an open reception for anyone to come. Now I wish that I would have just opened the ceremony to anyone we knew to come.

Of course I wish now that I would have planned it in more than two weeks so that I could have sent out invitations and had more people come.

No 3rd time round, I was quite content with a JOP wedding :D

Yes, I would change almost everything. My mom paid for our wedding, so she felt that she could make all the decisions!! :mad

We wanted a simple wedding on the beach and a BBQ afterwards. What we got was a formal wedding indoors with a personal Chef!

Don't get me wrong, our wedding was beautiful, but just not what we wanted.

Mine was small and with just DH's family. My family didn't even know about the wedding. lol But I still wouldn't change a thing. That was OUR wedding and just the way we wanted it.

I'd have loved to have a "church wedding" and my family present. We did a small ceremony with 2 witnesses and so I kinda feel jipped.

Just the reception. I want a reception with a HUGE party and a HUGE cake. The ceremony was perfect imo.

I had two weddings the courthouse wedding and then on our one year anniversary we did a small wedding with friends and family where we renewed our vows. Everything was wonderful but I wish I hadn't been so stressed out that weekend so I could have paid more attention to my friends and family. I feel like I barely had time to say Hi too them!!!

I think we would have had our reception at a bigger place. We had the wedding and reception at Manresa castle in Port Townsend, WA. It was perfect for the amount of people that came - I think we had about 150-200 guests, but we really could have used a little more room - it wouldn't have hurt.

We went to the courthouse to get married. My sister and niece were visiting, but I didn't tell them until we got back home. I'd have a wedding at a plantation house and have a reception under huge oaks. We'd have had to pay for that on our own, so I'm ok with the JOP ceremony.

I would get someone who knows how to take pictures. I didn't want snapshots of the wedding. I wanted photos! Beautiful ones. Not a dude with a camera. darn me for letting my parents pay of that one thing!

I think I would of actually had a real wedding, we keep on saying someday but I know once I have a child there is no way I am going to fit back into my dress, and I know they can alter it, but point being I want to have one before children. :)

I had a nice wedding. It happened about 3 days after an ice storm here. Even though I had no lights for the wedding and reception they did come on during the dance. So I guess no now I wouldn't change it.

hmm.... if I could redo something about my wedding? lol I'd have a longer ceremony. I think ours lasted a whole 5 minutes lol. At least thats how it seemed. That, and a realized AFTER watching the video of our wedding, that the preacher didn't even pray. Odd

I would of had us walk out together. We had our wedding done in a Botanical Garden and DH and the other grooms men set up chairs so they wanted to help take them down. So me and my bridesmaids walked out to limo. But besides that everything was perfect!

I wouldnt redo our wedding but i would certainly have a renewel with a real wedding with all the stuff! not a jop wedding

I'd elope. Or go get married on the beach. as beautuful as the day was, the stress was not worht it...a lot of that was due to my fiance(now hubbs) being gone until 10 days before the wedding.....:vent

I would have taken a little more time to plan mine, I felt like the planning was rushed....well, actually it WAS rushed, lol.

I wouldn't change a thing!!

I really have no regrets, except I would have my family & friends there. And we would record it.

we didn't have a wedding yet cuz he found out he was getting deployed so we put that on hold and then when he came back for 2 wks and left and I found out I was pregnant so the wedding will be on hold for awhile hahaha!

I wouldn't change a thing, we had such a good time that day!

I don't think I would change it. We got married in the court house, so I guess the only thing I miss is wearing a beautiful dress and having my dad walk me down the isle

Yes. I didn't have an actual wedding. We got HITCHED at the courthouse. Just me and Jeff. No family, or friends. So I would and will do it all differently

I got married at the courthouse too. There was only 16 people there including Jake and I. SO i would have invited all my friends and family. I always dreamed of having a big wedding, but we could not afford it, and we were tired of waiting. In the scheme of things, to me it does not matter hwo we got married, just that we DID ge tmarried to each other. All that matters to me is that it made Jake and I happy. Other wise, I would have invited more people, therefore, having it in a larger setting.

Oh, and I also wish that we had professional pics done too. We are thinking abou tdoing them soon though. I just want some pics of him and I me in my dress, and him in his suit.

1~ I would have another dress. Mine was too short and I would have long sleeves (December wedding) and a train. I would also have a shorter veil. My gown didnt have a train and my veil was cathedral length.

2~ I would move it back a few years.

3~ I would have had a second reception, where we played music and stuff. My mil's religious beliefs call for no music and dancing.

4~ I would not have forgotten the food when we left the reception.

I would have atleast had a white dress. We got married in the marrage commisoners back yard and my sister said that it was not formal enough for me to have a wedding dress, that is my biggest regret. Everything else was wonderful

YES, I would have an actual wedding. I missed that part, we did the courthouse thing and I will always want the wedding part. We had a reception that was great though!

We had a JOP marraige. So, I would have changed everything. Well, one day we are going to have my dream wedding in a beautiful church & with people there, instead of just me & him.

We eloped so sometimes I wished I would have planned it and had our families there, also actually have a dress or something pretty like that.

I wouldn't change anything... well, maybe one thing..

We ran off to Pensacola and pretty much eloped.. But we didn't do our research on the damage that hurricaine Ivan did.. We didn't expect it to be that bad..

But it was great otherwise.. No stress, no drama, just us, I wore a white bikini..

We got married by a minister in a chapel, but did not get pics, dd rewound our film in the camera. I just wanted pictures and perhaps a different dress... Were renewing vows on our 10th so i will have it all then!

We'd hire a real photographer not some guy my dad knew that had a camera. Our wedding would have been perfect if the pictures weren't such crap. Honestly our guests took better pictures the the photographer. I'm so dissappointed in our pictures

My wedding turned out very nice! The one thing that really bothered me is that I had spent so many months during my planning going back and forth trying to pick out the perfect "wedding favor", and I finally decided on these gourmet candied apples w/ choclate and carmel, etc... they were really good! So the night before the wedding at the rehearsal, the wedding planner who worked for our location told me to bring them in and she would keep them in their big refrigerator. So I did that, and TOTALLY FORGOT all about them, and so did she. So, I never got to give them to my guests. I was so bummed too because they ended up costing me a lot more than i wanted to spend, and i never got to give them away. I didnt even remember until the next afternoon as I was packing for the honeymoon.

I just figure, if that was the worst thing to go wrong at the wedding, then I am lucky. I kind of miss doing all of the planning too!

I would have done the whole thing over and had an actual wedding!

I might have had a dress rather than a skirt and top... I'd have made sure my best friend was there.

Um... now that we are headed to divorce, I am going to amend that- I would have done some premarital counseling and realized I wasn't ready to be married.

The only thing i would change would be to have the reception outside during the summer. We got married in Dec cause DH was deploying in Feb. and i would have had him help out more.

I would've gotten a different photographer. I would've had more candles. I would've served champaign. I would've reserved the hotel room myself! LOL!! (his aunt didn't do a good job with the hotel room.... it was a smoking room because she waited too damn long to reserve it on the weekend of a NASCAR race in DFW)

We eloped and I am happy we did but I would have loved for someone to have gone with us and taken pictures.

No, we actually got our dream wedding and I wouldn't change one thing:)

I would have gotten a different DJ & photographer. i would have also paid for a professional video.

That we wouldn't have forgotten the rings at home and that hubby wouldn't have lost his between the wedding and reception.
Also we didn't have enough money for a big fancy church wedding and I miss that whole experience, but for the most part it was great, my parents and his parents and our kids were there and well, we got married, so what can be bad about that!? LOL

Nothing really, I didn't have a big wedding, it was a very simple small dinner party at my mom's house after tying the knot at the JOP. But I had everything I could have wanted...my family and friends, good food, good music, pretty cake, decorations, presents and a wonderful night at a beautiful hotel :)

It was perfect, I wouldn't change a thing.

I had a very small personal ceremony. I lovedit. I would only change TWO things. I would have made sure to tell Adam's parents BEFORE the ceremony instead of after so they could be there (his dad was really disappointed), and I would have gotten ANYONE besides my SIL to take pictures. LMAO. I seriously have like TWO pictures of my wedding and they are HORRIBLE. LOL.

I wouldnt be pregnant and I'd wear an off white dress (I think non-virgins should NOT wear white to their wedding) OR a pale pink dress. Long train. It would be warm and not butt ass cold at my outdoor ceremony. We planned it on a warm weekend, it turned butt ass cold a few days later! lol!
