Getting shitfaced at the rehearsal dinner.
I didn’t want to puke the whole day of my actual wedding.
1.Thinking it was so important to get all of my family there.
Kendra Allen
In retrospect, those that had to be convinced and accommodated shouldnt have been there.
Ended up putting so much energy into getting perfect pics we didnt spend time in the moment.
Just ask your photographer to do candid shots only and focus on enjoying the day.
3.Doing the garter throw.
4.Picking the longest song ever for a first dance.
I got talked into it.
I didnt want to do it, but felt pressured.
6.Getting a friend to video, its crap.
7.I regret not hiring a DJ.
Its not only music, they help with the flow of the wedding.
Flower toss, first dance, money dance, whatever you want.
We cut corners where we could and that was one I regret.
As it turns out the rules dont change because its a special day.
9.Not renting my wedding dress.
What a huge waste of mo eye to look great for two hours.
Besides, I had a boy so couldnt even pass it down.
10.In all honesty, I regret dancing so much.
We danced so much, we forgot to go around to individually thank everyone for coming.
They all came to us on the dance floor to say hello.
11.Having a cake because you have to have a cake.
13.I thought I wouldnt want it, but now I wish I had hired a videographer.
My pictures are amazing, but I would have liked to be able to watch it.
14.Agreeing to let my mother-in-law make my cake.
We had a naked cake because she didnt finish it.
Im still pissed three years later.
We were high school sweethearts and had been together forever.
We ended up waiting until our oldest son was 9 before finally making it official.
Should have gotten it out of the way ages ago.
16.We did a backyard wedding and the property had turkeys that were squawking through our whole ceremony.
BE AWARE OF TURKEYS!
17.I regret making my former best friend my bridesmaid.
It was a disaster and I felt terrible when she predictably did not give a shit about anything.
I felt overlooked and unimportant.
I felt humiliated because the person I loved so much did not give a fuck.
Learn from my mistake.
19.Getting married publicly and changing my name.
I only wanted a courthouse wedding and desperately wanted to keep my name.
My ex would only marry me if those conditions were met.
I should have known then.
20.I didnt get to eat the hors doeuvres.
I was so excited about them, especially the tiny beef wellingtons.
Was so busy taking pictures and then getting to the main course I forgot to get any.
I also forgot to get drunk!
I had maybe one or two drinks!
It was such a busy day.
I kinda wish I could have gone as a guest.
21.Not having some help for after the party to help tie up the loose ends and tidy up.
22.Getting shitfaced at the rehearsal dinner.
I didnt want to puke the whole day of my actual wedding.
23.Getting married in a church.
We had a ceremony that meant nothing to us, for our parents.
24.I absolutely adored my wedding.
If I would change one thing though, it would have been to hire a hair and makeup artist.
25.Stuffing cake in my wifes face.
No exaggeration, I regret it to this day.
Protect in this case has the meaning of upholding their dignity, their honor, etc.
shoving cake in their face is not doing any of that and its very very public.
Plus it messed with her make-up, I really really wish I hadnt.
27.Forgetting to put deodorant on.
A Tight suit, hot weather, and an itchy scrotum are a recipe for disaster!
The marriage was enough for us but we were pressured into having a wedding.
30.Seems like most peoples regret can be drilled down into doing what their parents wanted them to do.
