Hi guys....as u prob read in my profile that my hubby and i got married on april 25 of this year. i admit it was a rushed wedding bc we didnt think that my pap and/or my real dad (i have two dads in my life my stepdad is more like my real dad) wouldnt be able to make it due to health problems. well my pap is still kickinj, BUT my real dad passed away recently about three weeks ago and he couldnt attend but he did see pictures and he couldnt walk me down the aisle with my stepdad. anyway we originally were going to go with a a oct. wedding, but like i said due to a few family members...anyway i went with awestern theme i regret it bc was alot of problems. (my hubbys family members for one), didnt get any cake, the photog. we got they sucked! i should of had my friend do the wedding bc she is going to school for it. and her pics that she did were amazing! the pics wanted really bad at the falls they were horrible! didnt get half of the pics that i wanted. i ended up smashed before tbc

    Smashed before and after the wedding....we didnt have enough time to meet everyone, didnt get no pics with anyone around the table just a few of my friends, few family but the photog that we did have they didnt tell us to do anything!.....i should have done a black and gold wedding (steelers and football is in my and my familys blood). would have had traditional wedding dress, traditional gowns (one moh and one bm0 have them wear black dress with gold ribbon the guys either god or black ties, tux...just alot of things would have changed soo much.i would have went somewhere else for honeymoon. no limo bc it is a waste of money. just alot of thins would have changed......oh and also would of had cameras on the tables too bc i am still waiting for pics from my moh and my one friend and my one bridesmaids o fat chance of getting those....im sorry for all of the venting just stuff on my mind...and if we would of had it in oct. would have been a longer ceremony

    Why dont you guys save up and do a cocktail brunch on your 1year or 5year anniversary and renew your vowes. It could be fun and you would get your re-do.

    That would also be my suggestion. We have done it for some couples who couldn't afford what they really wanted the first time, and for one whose first officiant was sick on the wedding day and flubbed the whole ceremony. Spend some of the time planning what you would do differently and keep notes. You will have a clearer perspective by then anyway.

    I'll probably get bashed (nothing new...lol) but weddings like other major events in life (pregnancies, death, etc) you really don't get any do overs. Yes a good idea would be to celebrate your 5th anniversary with a big bash the way you want it. Will it be like the first time you get married in the white gown? probably not. Best thing to do when life throws you a lemon is to make lemonade. It's only one day in your life... go out and enjoy each and every day with your new spouse and don't worry about a 6 hour "party".

    To pistole didnt wear a white dress wore like a cream/ivory dress. and would prob only have one person in the bridal party moh/best man. ...ya i agree ya it is only one day in your life, but i mean, if you arent happy with any of the pictures that your photographers tok (had three, but they were mom and daughter the other one is a friend) and hers honestly the one of the friends were a heck of alot better than the proffesstional photographers. i mean u if u didnt get any of the pictures u wanted specifically or the place were u got pics done at afte rthe church looked horrible its lke, ok the wedding was jut a wate of money. s along witht h photo albums and pic frames.

    I actually agree with Pistol. Your wedding day isn't about the party - it's about getting married. Yes, you want the party to go well, and you get really attached to it, but the purpose of the day is to get married, and you are just as married regardless of how the party went. If you want to you can have a vow renewal later, but it is an awful lot like saying you didn't like the way your child was born (doctor was mean, would have gone to a different hospital, didn't like the outfit you brought them home in, thought the epidural was a waste of money) - but if you decided to restage the birth of your child, then it just seems silly, doesn't it? The child was still born and that was the purpose of that event. We will always have "woulda, coulda, shoulda's" in life, but the solution isn't to keep going back and changing it - where does it end?

    I would wait untill at least your 1 year if not 5 to try and throw another big party... just thinking from the guest perspective they might be thrown off.... expected to get dressed up and come to a party that they've already ben to, they'll feel weird about gift obligations.... etc etc. I would say it doesn't seem like the best idea to me sug.... perhaps you can have your friend or hire a photographer to do a photo shoot w/ you and your husband and get the shots you did want. Take a =n amazing vaca for your 1 year and get the honeymoon you wanted. Sorry you felt you had to rush things, (and about your loss) but as PPs have said the most important thing is that you are married to the man you love!
