Wedding band regrets

Nicole, on March 19, 2017 at 7:27 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16

Had anyone else had this? I always see dress regret posts, but my wedding band was mine.

We picked it out together, since my e ring didn't come in a set. I ended up going with a double band that my e ring fits in the middle of. I got the ring and it was bent, so horribly. I was so upset, cried and almost decided to find another jeweler. After two trips back, they finally fixed it and we brought it home. My FH took it out the other day and I realized I didn't love it like I did when I picked it out. I don't know if it was all the trouble we went through, but I was having MAJOR regrets. We went back today and I found a more simple, single band to go with my ring. I don't have a picture and we have to wait for my size to come in. I feel SO much better now. Thank goodness.

What regrets, if any, have you girls had in this process? Dresses, rings, anything else?

    I'm on my third dress, haha. I'm going with very inexpensive bands and am going to switch them up sometimes- FH got ones made from a bar of silver he already had for both of us, and I got a couple cheap stackable bands from Amazon.

    Lol I am in kind of a similar situation with my wedding band. I don't hate it, but I wish we picked a different one.

    FH regrets his. He wishes we didn't spend as much as we did on it and would have rather gotten a cheaper one from amazon/walmart.

    I have minor dress regret then I look at the picture of me in it and feel a little better. I think I'll be over it when I try it on again.

    I had dress regret for a week or so then went and tried it on again and remembered why I loved it. On top of that, we get to marry the love of our lives and although this is a big day, it is only ONE day. As long as we are happy together, everything else is just a bonus Smiley smile

    It's not really regret but I don't love my wedding band. It came as a set with my ering. I love my ering but the band not so much. Oh well.

    I had wedding band regret also! I picked out an expensive enhancer and then realized it ended up taking away from my engagement ring. The more I looked at it the more I didn't like it. I was upset and felt bad but FH totally understood and was glad I told him so we could get a new one. Luckily, we were able to exchange it and I picked out something much more simpler (and cheaper yay!) and more my style. I'm very happy now. Smiley smile

    I'm currently having invitation regret. We went with an extremely simple, inexpensive design from Vistaprint but I'm still lusting over WPD rose gold foil :-(

    I know I'll ultimately thank myself for not spending so much money on invitations but the temptation is hard to resist!

    I think each of us have doubts. Maybe not regrets so much. If you do it's ok. Nothing wrong with changing it up.

    Girl, I don't even know how to start... To avoid writing an entire novel let me just say that my FH and I had so much regret over our venue and guest list that we had to scrap our entire wedding and start over. We had been planning since October of 2016, and scrapped it just this month. That being said, now that we have started over, I am finally happy about my wedding. Like INCREDIBLY HAPPY. It's all I can think about now, whereas before I kind of dreaded it and wanted to just run to the court house instead. Smiley tongue
