Do you eventually get over some stuff that went wrong during your wedding?

The Sealpups, on December 6, 2019 at 4:57 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 9

I've vented a few times on how i was both coordinator and planner. I learned that most women (overall) have a good day but it's not the perfect day or best day ever. There are things that are bound to happen. It's been 3 months and I'm over some little things, like adding baby's breath to bouquets when i specifically asked not to have them. The BM is kind of the black sheep in my husband's family and I've accepted his rebel-quirky ways. He mentioned my husband experiencing something inappropriate when they were teenagers. Knowing he was giving a speech, I had a feeling he would say something and even it's still a bit embarrassing, it's whatever.

My husband's grandmother's brother in law, swopped in and grabbed the mic after the BM speech. (Note: we specifically were very strict with speeches. We only had the BM and MOH do them; no parents, no open mic). Anyhoo - my husband's whole family (immediate and extended) are all inappropriate and give sex jokes because it's so hilarious. His grandma's brother in law said something very inappropriate statement (subtle) by toasting a woman's organ. I knew once he had the mic, we needed someone to grab it but our emcee was dumfounded and stood there. My in laws were recording and it was hilarious to them and they were laughing. My parents were pissed. I don't know if that's something I'll get over. A wedding is supposed to be classy. I THOUGHT i made it full proof to prevent inappropriate things like (from happening) but I guess not. Later, I found out my father in law confronted the grandma's brother in law about the statement but whatever, it's over...can't go back. His side of the family got a KICK out of it and it made THEIR night special. What wedding? Just in poor, poor taste in a formal setting. I hope it's not reflection on me or my husband. I just need to let it go that people find it hilarious

    Other people’s behavior is a reflection on THEM, and them only. I’m sure your other guests were mortified on your behalf, and would not be holding it against you at all! Also other people will forget more easily than you will. My FIL gave a pretty appalling speech at our rehearsal dinner that’s so deeply ingrained in my memory lol but when I brought it up with a couple of my bridesmaids (who were there) they said they had genuinely forgotten about it until I mentioned it.


    My wedding weekend mantra was “I am only responsible for myself” and you just have to keep reminding yourself of that! Other people’s behavior is not a reflection on you.

    There are things I wish I did such as having more time for photos and getting all the shots in I had intended. and in hindsight I wish I didn't have any extra tables - candy and game table. But that wasn't as big of a deal to me. Since at this point that's all in the past now and you can only go forward. Don't let certain moments ruin the entire ordeal for you ya know? You've got some great moments to reflect on of that day, so focus on that. Or try to.

    I'm sorry this happened. I had some issues too. My father-in-law flipped me off in front my my parents and my dad was ready to punch him. My husband didn't see it because his back was to his dad. My florist completely messed up the flowers. They were falling apart, looked nothing like what we agreed on and were the wrong color. She also forgot the pin that was supposed to go in my bouquet which was my something old so we attached the earrings my sister-in-law was supposed to wear. My venue had a champagne toast when they weren't supposed to and my dad who is a recovering alcoholic accidentally drank it thinking it was something sparkly because we told my family we weren't doing a champagne toast. We closed the bar a bit longer than intend until he left. My dad and brother left earlier because why didn't want to be around the alcohol. My dad for the reasons as mentioned any my brother because it is against his religion to drink. My dad ended up being fine at the incident, but we were really concerned. I left a not so nice review for and she deleted me from Facebook because she wasn't happy about the review. It still bothers me that she messed up because the flowers were so important to me, but I can't change what happened. My father-in-law is just a jerk so it doesn't surprise me that he flipped me off. I honestly don't remember why he did.

    It may just take time. In that “Time heals all wounds” regard.


    I have some items that I was ticked about, but I’m just mildly annoyed about 76 days after the fact.
    I still want to address them, but if the Transgressors do not bother me, I will not have a reason to “go off”.

    We recent went to a wedding where the bride’s dad called the groom a SOB multiple times as well as other curse words during the speech. The bride was mortified and wanted to cry. She kept telling people to take the mic away. No one could, but we definitely don’t think badly of her or the groom. I did think it reflected badly on the dad, however, and it was embarrassing to see him doing that. I don’t think anyone that knows you will judge you for that.

    Yes, I'm sure time will heal all wounds *sigh*


    I also noticed that after the wedding ceremony (aka trying to kick everyone out), we had a private session with our bridesmaids and groomsmen for pictures. The best man's wife took pictures of all these shots. She apparently posted them on facebook but took it down bc we had the emcee make numerous announcements. I'm not even a social media person but we couldn't even post up our own wedding picture yet and I feel like it invaded our privacy bc these were shots we paid the photographer to take and she willingly stood in the corner and snapped from her phone. Oh. She also wore the bridesmaids colors and dressed her daughter in it too.


    I still have that need to address them too - i empathize with how you're feeling. I would like to say that I've graduated to "mildly annoyed" as well Smiley smile

    Regarding the pictures: SiL was 💯% wrong.

    At least she didn’t Facebook live it without asking (this happened at my Wedding).
    On the 👗color, people (read WOMEN) close to the couple sometimes coordinate their outfit to the Wedding.
    I saw this at another Wedding, and wondered why the lady had on a 💛👗 if she was not part of the Wedding.
    At my own Wedding, 2 guests wore Dark Purple. It sid not coordinate with Wisteria, but I figured that they were trying to match by what was already in their wardrobe.
