October 23 wedding

November here & I'm still planning (just a few weeks after you!). It seems like everything has to wait for something else to be done. It's so stressful. Much love - I'm sure your day will be great.

View Quoted Comment Yes that is so true, and a waiting game. Waiting for vendors to respond ect. It's like getting a hold of people is impossible. Best of luck with planning!

I regret not spending more. I wanted to elope, my fiance refused. The reason I wanted to elope was 2 reasons, one I did not want the stresss and two I did not want to spend the money. Long story short I hated it. Partly because I wore a red wedding dress so it had limited options, so instead of having one made ( due to lack of time cause it was a 4 month engagement) so I got one I loved but it was made cheap due to lack of options. It busted on my wedding day, I missed all my photos. But also I got married In a church to save money but still ended up spending more than I wanted to. Spent 5500 but would have spent more than double to have enjoyed it. I hated my wedding day. Luckily I have a good marriage which means more, but still I would have bought 2 wedding dresses and would have paid more money to get married somewhere I liked. So just consider that. A second wedding dress sounds stupid until your zipper busts and you miss all your pictures. But best of luck to you, congratulations ")

The one thing I regret was not shutting the bar down before ceremony. We had the whole wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception at the same place. We also did first look an hour before the ceremony start time at 3:30, so we decided to have the bar open at 2 so that the wedding party could get a couple of drinks and maybe me and him to take the edge off the day. Well in the chaos of things it never crossed our minds to tell them to close the bar at 3. So I'm trying to gather all wedding party members to start getting ready to line up at 3:15 and I see half my guest at the bar trying to get a drink. I'm thinking in my head ???. So I grabbed one of the servers and had them go tell everyone at the bar to take their seats and to have the bartenders stop service. Well because of that the ceremony didn't start until 3:40. One other thing i don't regret my dress but I definitely wish I could have found a 2 piece that was just as beautiful as my dress. So that way instead of spending an hour bustling my dress I could have just unsnapped my skirt and could have went to party.

View Quoted Comment I'm so sorry that happened to you. Maybe you can do something special for a vow renewal!

View Quoted Comment That sounds so stressful, hope everything else went well! One of my worries are my bridal parties attire. It's been so hard getting the colors I wanted so I went with what I could find but not sure how it will all look together. Just hoping it all comes together.

View Quoted Comment It was pretty stressful. But everything else went pretty well. I did forget my veil though and had to have a family member go get it at my house. So remember to keep the gown and veil in the same bag. That's why I forgot it because I put it in another bag.

View Quoted Comment Mary that is the plan. I wasn't trying to get sympathy, I was just trying to offer insight so nobody regrets it like I did. It could have been worse, definitely. I just know I would do it differently if I had a do over. But you live you learn. I'm sure your big day will be so beautiful 😍

I feel like I'm annoying them especially b/c I choose no bells and whistles so I'm a "cheap" bride (adding quotes around because it's still thousands of dollars).

Obviously my wedding hasn't happened yet but I regret our long engagement. Of course Covid is mostly responsible.

Date twins! Still in the process of planning but don't have much to do.

No real regrets. Though I wish I would have held onto my future husbands ring myself. I had it for detail pics with the photographer. We had no wedding party and so the officiant was to have the rings. We agreed on this during rehearsal. I held onto the ring until we got to the venue. I told my cousin to give the ring to my Day of Coordinator to get to the officiant while I got dressed. Cousin and my sister together went to the Day of Coordinator. My cousin put the ring which was in a plexiglass clear see through ring box into my coordinators hand and said this is D's ring. DOC tapped the ring box and said this is his ring. Cousin said yes this is D's ring.

I was so busy fixing dress, taking pics before ceremony etc. that I didn't follow up with anyone. During the ceremony, we get to the ring part husband does my ring and then the officiant says where is the other ring. I look at my cousin and then she points to the DOC and says I gave it to her. DOC mouths I don't know, shrugs her shoulder and continues to lean against the wall the rest of the ceremony.

Family goes up to her after and says where is the ring. She is completely clueless for a minute then says oh that was the ring you gave me...then proceeds to go find the ring. I was beyond livid at how she could be so damn aloof. It wasn't the mistake so much but her reaction. I was also annoyed with my husband and officiant because my husband gave the officiant his ring and neither stopped to think where is the other ring ????? especially after we agreed the officiant would have both rings.

Nevertheless, my DOC failed me in the worst way because once I gave her the rings her supposed experience should have never let it out of her site.

Getting married next month (10.17) and still planning a few things but got all the major stuff taken care of.

View Quoted Comment Wow, I will definitely keep in mind to know where the rings are. So I keep hearing ring bearers don't have the real rings, do most people do this?

View Quoted Comment Best of luck!

View Quoted Comment Ik, and thank you for the advice 😊

View Quoted Comment Same, still getting all the details done. Best of luck in your planning!
