I do! Although it seems as if it was a whirlwind (not just the walk, but the whole ceremony), I do remember. I remember seeing my husband's huge grin, too! That was the best. And I had to fight back tears as soon as I reached him. It was amazing. :)
I remember starting my walk down the aisle, and thinking how happy I was at the ceremony decor (it was the first time I had seen it). Then I saw my husband's face, and everything got blurry--I was trying not to cry and trying not to fall in my 4 inch heels! It went by very quickly, unfortunately...
I remember joking with my dad before we got to the aisle (no idea what we were talking about) and getting up to DH and seeing he was crying. But the actual aisle? No and to this day I have no idea what the aisle decorations looked like.
I remember right before the door opened thinking, "walk slowly and remember everything"... the second I saw the church and our guests I just broke out in a huge smile. I remember making eye contact with my family (couldn't see DH yet) and looking at our aisle runner and flowers thinking, "It's sooo pretty!" Then the moment I saw DH, I was practically giddy! So yes I remember everything :)
It was a whirl for me too, but I distinctly remember a couple things - when I started walking, my mom stuck her hand out to motion for me to drop my bouquet down, which we had rehearsed at the rehearsal, lol. And then trying to remember to walk slow, enjoy it and grinning like a fool at my FI. Who also had a huge smile :) Never forget his face :)
I don't remember the walk. I remember my feelings right before walking down and I remember being up front with DH but the walk is a blank in my head :(
@smith2be: "walk slowly and remember everything" I love this... I will repeat this to myself many times that day I'm sure. :)
I remember my walk, mostly (kind of a whirl). I do remember stopping a few times to try to shake leaves out of my dress's tulle train. I also remember one person's face particulary..my friend said "Smile, pretty lady." I then remember seeing my honey at the end of the aisle, when I got there. I immediately broke into tears.
I remember very little about my walk.. and really just parts of the whole ceremony.. =/
The week of was CRAZY and we had a morning ceremony so getting anytime to... stop. and relax. get my thoughts. or anything just didn't happen..
Everything that morning till the reception is a blur... one thing after another and THEN finally I got to sit, look around, and enjoy everything =/
@o0olibelulao0o: I actually did this: "walk slowly and remember everything". I still don't remember walking the aisle.
I remember starting my walk because I was having trouble getting down the stairs in my dress and I remember meeting my hubby at the end of the aisle because he had to hold my hands to help me stop trembling, but I really don't remember anything in between. I also don't remember most of the day because it was such a blur. I wish I could, but I don't. Everything went by so fast.
I walked down the aisle with hubby. The sides were all mixed up with everyone sitting together. His family is mostly Jewish (normally don't stand for the bride) mine is not (folks stand)--no one could figure out what to do. One person would stand, realize they're the only one and sit back down as another was standing. For a while it looked like a giant game of whack-a-mole with everyone bobbing up and down. It gave us something to chuckle about and not focus on all of the eyes on us.
Mine was short, but its about the only thing I remember. AFter the vows its all down hill :) I mean it went so fast! I danced a lot and wish I spent more time going around to speak with people. I did speak with a lot of people, but I just don't remember because I didnt sit and relax. Not that I had time to do that with everyone, but I wish I did more.
I was told to not stress about saying hello to everyone otherwise I would never enjoy my wedding. Well it looks like no matter what happens I didnt get to do it all.
@noritake22: I agree. The day FLEW by. I think there's just too much going on and too much stimuli, that it's difficult to really take it all in and remember everything. I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way.
I really wanted to savor the moments because I'd prepped myself on so many previous experiences of WB-ers so I expected the rushed blur. I was fine until our officiant walked back to the bus in which I'd arrived as all the guests turned to watch him chat me up before my grand entrance about a detail that he'd forgotten to handle. FAIL. I was kind of furious so my walk was a blur of OMG just get up there and get on with the show! I am pretty sure I had this awkward, impish, tight smile on my face while I stared at the ground, hustled and tried not to trip! Ugh. Oh, well. I'm sure the rest of the pics will be better, right? I hope.
I remember! It is one of those things that I didn't really expect to remember, but thankfully I do. I don't remember noticing any of the people besides my husband and my dad though, so I was oblivious to everything aside from that.
I remember!! I was pretending to bless people with my bouquet. It was soaking wet and I was swinging it back and forth like a priest before a mass. My dad kept telling me to be quiet and "Stop blessing everyone!!"
I don't like being in front of people, so I think I purposely blocked out all of our guests (only 30), and just concentrated on my hubby. I remember after my husband and I both got worried that our photographer wasn't there b/c we didn't see him, and then we saw in guests pictures he was right up front with us. I was also worried that the aisle decorations didn't get put out b/c I also didn't remember them, until again I saw some pictures.
Yes! I remember I was trying to avoid the "ugly cry face" even though I REALLY wanted to burst into tears. I remember teling mysef to slow down. I remember thinking that even though DH and I had seen each other earlier in the day for pictures our reactions to one another were EXACTLY what I hoped for. I remember wondering if my dad would hug me when he "gave me away" (he didn't). I was very in the moment.
Not really. I remember before, waiting for the ceremony to get started. I remember standing with my dad while my girls walked down, but I don't remember from the last row to the first. Honestly the whole day is a blur..... Yet another reason why I'm so glad we hired cinematographers!!!
I do a bit but I have a shoddy memory overall though.
I remember being almost surprised to see everyone I know, all there in one place, looking at me with love. Made me cry....didn't think I was going to be a crier.
kinda. it all went by so fast. I feel like I am already starting to foget parts of the day :( however, i forget a lot. I even forget movies that I have seen or daily stuff...my memory sucks..
I don't remember. I remember being in the back room of the house with my dad and the wedding coordinator saying, "Welp.. this is it. Lets hope this is the first and last time we have to do this dad..." He was nervous so he didn't think I was funny. Wedding coordinator laughed though.. after that I blacked out. Next thing I remember is signing the marriage certificate.
I remember. My veil got caught on a piece of wood just as I started, and I stopped and fixed the comb while the DOC quickly pulled my veil free. It was just a second (no disaster), but it was kind of funny and totally broke the tension. The rest of the walk, I smiled and laughed and looked around, because I felt much calmer.
I looked at DH a lot too, but it was a long aisle, and it got kind of awkward just staring at him. He looked really happy though.
I do remember to. I remember walking down the aisle and seeing everyone smiling and tearing up, and I think I became a little overwhelmed and emotional seeing everyone there for our wedding. I was definitely tearing up a lot, and my dad was as well. As we got a little closer, I remember seeing my FI, now DH's similing face, and then finally feeling somewhat more calm because I knew we were getting married! I think we were both smiling like idiots by the time I reached the altar :-).
@bakerella: Same here! When brides ask me for any sort of advice the first thing I say is HIRE A VIDEOGRAPHER!!! lol
I remember wanting it to last forever - but it went way too quickly. I wish I would have paused longer at the top of the aisle to just take it all in. I remember pausing briefly, thinking I took too long ... then took a couple steps and wanted to turn around and do it over because this time was for real! (When I watch the video footage, it doesn't even seem like I paused!)
...could you imagine if I had turned around - would have given everyone a heart attack!!! If it wasn't for my dress getting in the way, I probably would have ;)
My advice to future brides - work a pause into your aisle walk... seriously!
@jldown2: thats my favorite arcade gang-- I am sooo chuckling at that image.
That is actually one of the few parts that I do remmember. My Dad and I were making jokes at each other to stop each other from crying as we walked up the aisle (with the picture smiles plastered on our faces). Everytime I looked at my husband at the other end of the aisle I had to look at the guests because I would start tearing up again. The rest of the night is a blur though.. so I will be excited when I get the prof. pics back and can actually see what happened :D
I remember a good chunk of it but mostly the last part after I could see Mr. M! ;)
I was laughing with my dad and staring at the ground to avoid falling. (Our "aisle" was a grassy hillside, which was a bit treacherous in heels!) Then I suddenly remembered to look up, and I saw my groom. He looked so handsome, and I remember being struck by the fact that he was actually there waiting for me at the altar just like I had always pictured. The rest of the way down the aisle I looked at him and he smiled at me, and I knew I was just where I was supposed to be. It was actually a very peaceful feeling.
nope! I don't remember. I remember starting down the stairs, one step at a time due to heels and dress. I remember thinking they weren't playing the right song for my entrance (they effed that one up royally, makes me very sad). I remember making eye contact with someone right as I was about to enter the aisle arm and arm with my parents. But actually walking? Nope. I don't even think I remember my wife's face as I walked towards her (though there are pictures) =(. BOO!
I do remember getting to the end, and kissing/hugging my parents, and standing up there. And I remember the rest of the day. So yay.
I do. I remember looking at everyone's faces and then looking down at him. I remember dad putting his arm around me and how amazing it all felt. It is a memory that is permanently etched in my mind.
Well, mine was only a week or so ago... but I do remember it! My aisle was long... like really really long. And I was wearing very high and uncomfortable heels. So I was clinging to my dad trying not to trip over the dress (which happened a little). And all the while I was staring ahead at my hubby, unsure of whether to look around and smile at the people, or just keep on staring. I looked around once or twice but then just decided to stare at him!!!! Then I got there, he took my hand and I remember thinking, "We're not supposed to be holding hands right now... he was supposed to take my arm, but I like holding hands much better!!" :)
I remember when I was waiting to walk and when I first turned the corner and saw my husband. But I dont really remember the walk itself. Then I remember when I got to my husband and my dad shook my husband's hand and said "Take care of her". I wish I had gotten video specifically for the ceremony because it was probably my favorite part of the day and I barely remember it!
I walked slowly and looked at everything and remember everything. Everyones faces as they saw me, the decor down the aisles, his face. I was sure to take it all in.
Yes! I remember seeing my little cousin go wide eyed and start clapping as soon as the doors opened. I remember seeing my FI's back to me at the altar. I remember thinking that I didn't know that was going to happen, but I was glad I watched the Royal Wedding because Prince William did that too. Somewhere along those lines of thought I got teary eyed because I realized this was actually happening. It was the only time the whole day I cried!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
A friend of mine recently got married and was talking about how she doesn't remember her walk down the aisle. She felt like she just warped from the end to the alter. Got me thinking about my wedding day and how I felt. I don't remember the people, or the cameras or the aisle decorations, but I will never forget getting close to the alter and seeing my husbands face. He had the biggest smile I've ever seen on him, and I quickly held back tears.
Do you remember?
