So my husband and I got married on October 10th, 2020. My father in-law tested positive ona covid test less than a week before the wedding, it wasn't where we wanted, we spent more money than we wanted, I had to set up the ceremony and get ready 2 hours before I had to walk down, everyone left early, including my bridemaids only 1/3 rd of our guest list showed up, it rained all morning, my dress was too big due to stress weightloss, my husband's suit was too small, I didn't change for the reception and i couldn't move in my dress, it was so cold. Even though all of our guests said it was a beautiful wedding, my husband and I cringe at the thought of our wedding. There were alot of things we didn't get to do and we want a redo. Just friends and family that WONT make us do anything we don't want to do. Very casual ceremony, a full reception with the food and games and traditions. We really want to look back and be happy to see photos and smile at memories. But where do we begin? Do we plan it like a normal wedding??? Should we send invites?? Should we just forget the whole idea????

Hi Bella,
I'm so sorry your wedding day was not what you envisioned. How many guests would you want to have? Would you still want a bridal party?
You said you spent more than you wanted to in your original wedding, do you have a budget for this wedding redo? If so, would it be enough to provide options that would make you happy?
You know what I'd do, I'd book an amazingly beautiful vacation with my husband and have photos taken wherever we go with us dressed up and looking all spiffy! Book a nice resort, some activities and just get away and relax, it really helps to reset the body and mind and remove yourself from wedding planning all together. Just a thought.

I feel the same way about my wedding day. It was a destination wedding where 50 people initially said they were coming. We booked a resort I wasn’t that fond of to support my husband’s sister who said she would like to bring her son. So I altered my vision to accommodate this new resort. When she booked she only booked for herself and eventually cancelled. The resort could get my decor right which is odd since it’s their decor. My father tripped down all 3 steps leading to the beach and I had to keep him upright. The photography was very low grade.
Many people have said they wish they could come and I said maybe we’ll do a vow renewal in 10 years and some are saying what about 5 years. My husband said we could do something in 5 years in Disney since we’ll most likely have kids, but I feel like by then people won’t actually want to come. Plus I go to Disney often so it’s just a vacation. The point was to go some where exotic. I’ll what to do.

We are having a home cook out for those who couldn’t come to the wedding but that was just to support those financially who couldn’t travel. It’s just not the same as a wedding.
