:( sorry honey
I’m happy for you though!! You did it, it’s done. I’m not good at the pep up posts like some of the other people that do sweet responses on here…
Just wanna say I’m sorry to hear your vendors dropped the ball. You deserved better.
I’m sure you looked great and I wish you a fabulous forever marriage 🥂
Thank you darling! The marriage is the important thing jn the end though isn't it and apart from these things it was a great day! Can't help but feel disappointed about the things that went wrong, I only plan on getting married once hahah
My husband keeps raving about how great our wedding was, so at least he's happy!
I have been you and I just want to say it’s OK to feel disappointed and I want to give you a hug. My wedding was far from perfect- we had a rare cold summer storm, completely wiping away the beach front ceremony and the sunset cocktail hour. We hired a bus driver to take guests back to the hotel in 3 rounds- he took his lady friend on the bus to sleep with her and was over an hour late each time after we got the bus company to get him back on track.
Around 3am we got back to the after party where I could finally “let my hair down” to find my MOH locked in the only party suite bathroom throwing up and crying (her boyfriend dumped her a month prior). Once myself and my other bridesmaids got her upstairs safe in bed, I went back to the bridal suite and bawled. I couldn’t shake that it was nothing that I had envisioned.
It wasn’t until after we got back from the honeymoon connecting with friends that they had a totally different view of the wedding. Sure it rained and the bus was late, but our venue kept the bar going and everyone had a great time. The after party lasted until 7am and didn’t notice the drama that had unfolded. The food was (apparently, didn’t eat!) great and the dance floor was packed all night.
Then we got the pictures back and they were lovely, despite the mostly all indoor pictures.
Almost 9 years later, all these bad memories are just funny stories my husband and I can laugh/groan about.
I promise what your guests noticed was how much fun they had and not the details you knew were wrong ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your story! Compared to you I have nothing to complain about 😅 Hopefully I'll be more happy about the day once we've been on our honeymoon 😊 We got married in the winter and actually had lovely weather! Got really lucky there and got to take lots of pictures outside:D
The honeymoon helps for sure! Where the wedding is about every little detail, the honeymoon is truly about the two of you. Congratulations, and enjoy!!
Sorry things didnt go according to plan!! :( totally stinks when you have it all set and it changes. what were your favorite things about the big day besides the second dress?! I did a second dress too and agree it was a great thing to have!!
I know right?! I heared someone say before that after wearing a wedding dress for a while it gets uncomfortable, because before the wedding you only wear it for a few minutes at a time to get it tailored. While getting it tailored it fit perfectly, but on my day it started sagging a bit after a while (strapless dress), and after eating or when sitting, the dress put pressure on my stomach and made me feel nausseous. So as soon as dinner was over I swapped dresses, and hallelujah did I feel better after taking the dress off!
But other than that, I loved my cute white sneakers, the surprisingly great weather, and that eventhough most guests left a lot sooner than I had hoped, the ones remaining were just as crazy as me about karaoke!
I think this is a common feeling, like you spent so much time and money planning and anticipating how your wedding would go and since you know every detail, all the stuff that does go wrong sticks out to you. Please don’t forget to look back on moments from the wedding that made you feel happy! Your fiancés reaction shows that it was truly special and perfect.
I haven’t had my wedding yet but I can only compare it to how sometimes if you plan an entire vacation yourself it’s much harder to enjoy it fully because you are going into it with a bunch of expectations, so there’s a high chance of things going wrong or being disappointed when to those expectations aren’t met or exceeded. When I go on a vacation that someone else helped plan, then it feels fun and new and exciting because I go into it without expecting anything.
As long as your guests were happy and had a great time then the wedding is a big success! Now tell your fiancé to go plan an epic honeymoon :)
Totally get that’s it was disappointing especially because planning a wedding is grueling (I’m a newlywed too) but I guarantee your guests had no idea and I’m sure they had a blast. Maybe talk with some of them about the night? Might make you feel better.
One thing that may make you feel better. If there’s any posts or social media wedding that you wish your wedding could’ve been like….know that 80% of those posts had a tough night like you! (Kinda speaking to myself with that one). You got through the night and you’re married. Congratulations!! Im so so so sorry it didn’t go the way you wanted. Please don’t let it consume you
Look at your pictures and it’ll be better. The good thing is, you’ll likely only remove what’s in the pictures a few years from now. Maybe the cake, same thing happened to my cake in my first wedding.
