I am really glad we did a first look because the walk down the aisle and the ceremony is so emotional and it goes so fast that looking back I barely remember it, but I remember very well those few minutes we had with just us.
I love the photography
I loved getting ready with my girls while things were still calm
I am glad we wrote our own vows.
I wish it didnt go by so fast.
I wish I ate my own food that I planned
I wish I spent more time mingling. I know I talked to a ton of people, but as I said it went so fast that I think the fact that I danced a ton made it go by even faster. I wish I had forced myself to sit at a table.
I wish we would have taken a little more time alone together after the ceremony. I felt like we were around other people so much, I wish we would have just taken a few minutes to have some quiet time.
@lefeymw: We're writing our own vows, too. I need to get on that, actually...
@Lindsay12.31.2010: That's really good advice. I hope we have some time together.
I loved doing a first look!! That was the best decision we made. Walking down the aisle and the whole ceremony was a blur, but that hour of just us and our photographer (who was also a friend) was precious.
I am so glad we invited the people we did.
I wish we could have danced more, and I wish our dang sparklers worked better than they did!!
Overall, I wouldn't change a thing!
ETA: Ohh... our vows definitely were a good thing too!! I loved them.
I'm so glad we splurged on video.
I wish I had settled nerves better, so I could have enjoyed my dinner!
I wish I would have absorbed the night before. The videographer didn't get a lot of footage of people just enjoying themselves, and I forget all of it already.
I second the first look - I am so glad we had that time together and am also so glad we got nearly all of our photos out of the way before the ceremony and reception.
I'm so glad DH and I took the time to eat our meals - it helped keep our energy up throughout the night and the food was awesome!
I'm glad we put together a play list for the DJ as our dance floor was never empty and everyone raved about the music - from the 80 yr olds to the teenagers.
I wish I hadn't worried so much about the little details - no one even noticed the majority of them and they had absolutely no bearing on our enjoyment of the day.
I'm glad we hired an amazing photographer.
I'm glad we did an Anniversary Dance as that was one of the most touching moments of the evening.
I'm glad we didn't do a choreographed first dance as those few minutes on the dance floor were incredibly intimate and romantic.
Lets see... I loved our first look, loved our ceremony (it was very personal), loved dancing with our friends/family
I wish we'd visited our guests as a couple, we decided to divide and conquer at some point
I wish we'd made it to our photobooth, somehow it completely slipped our minds
I'm grasping for things I wish I'd done, a few months later all I remember is it was amazing. I know everyone says it but seriously the little details aren't what you notice that day.
@lefeymw: Wish I'd done that for the very reason you mentioned...this, this, this, this, this and that! LOL You took the words out of my mouth.
The best memory of my wedding was saying the vows. I wish I had realized, in the days of planning leading up to it, how beautiful it was really going to be. I wouldn't have worried about so many other things, because after that moment they really didn't matter anymore.
So glad we:
-had the vendors we had..they were super awesome!
-We had a unique first dance and my awesome brother officiated our ceremony..these two were super memorable to my mom!
-I'm glad we picked the menu we did as everyone loved the food..
-we also surpised our guests with a sweet bar (we got married on the sweetest day!) and our guests really enjoyed the treats we had (all our favorite pastries and candies!).
-we also had a professional photo sessions (not a photobooth)..our guests took pictures with us as they come in and these photos were later printed and passed out to our guests during dinner! They got to take them home!
-we had a same day edit. Hubby loves it and watches it religiously! Our guests who couldn't participate in our two tea ceremonies and walk down the aisle got to see it at the reception. :)
Wish we had more time:
to talk to our guests
go to the bar (we had an open bar!),
not gotten so buzzed right before our first dance (though it is memorable because of the goofs :p)
and time to enjoy our meal..which everyone said was soooo good!
We lost our cake topper, which was dear to us..so should have someone take care of it!
@swtTea: Good tips! My brother is officiating for us, too. I'm super excited about that!
The sweetheart table. It allowed for us to spend time alone and to take it all in.
We also went to the 2nd half of cocktail hour and greeted everyone then, so we actually got to eat, instead of running around from table to table saying hello during dinner.
Great thread, I keep refreshing this one, too, for more ideas. I hadn't really thought about attending our own cocktail hour, but it sounds like an awesome idea if we can swing it. :)
I'm glad we did not do a first look. Locking eyes with him and seeing all the emotion on his face when I walked towards him is agreat memory. I don't think it would have had the same intensity and emotion if we had done it before hand.
I wish that I had slowed down getting dressed. I felt a little rushed and I wish I had just taken a few minutes by myself to sit in the quiet and think before all the excitement started.
I wish I had tried on my dress the day before because my number one bad memory is that my dress was too loose and the bodice kept collapsing forward and it reaaaaally shows in the pictures.
I'm really glad that once the day came, I just stopped worrying. I didn't worry about centerpieces or flowers or anything. I just let it all be what it was and laughed and smiled the whole day.
I'm really glad we got to do a candy buffet and I'm so thrilled with how my flowers came out. I'm also glad we took the time to sit and eat our food and cake!
What I wish we had done a little differently would be giving our DJ more direction (he started our entrance songs at the beginning instead of the time I specified in my notes) and maybe not letting our friends and family hang around while we did our first look. They didn't seem to know where else to be so I let them watch from a distance but I kind of wish we had that moment to ourselves.
@Angelz_love: A first look is the first look at the church or wedding reception with your husband. You two look at it together before any guest arrive or are allowed in. However, my FI and I are getting married in 3 days and will take pics at different times before the actual wedding and he will see me for the first time when I am coming down the aisle.
My favourite parts were 1) our ceremony. It really was worth it and it felt meaningful that we wrote it ourselves. 2) Our first dance. I loved every second of the 4 minutes. I thought it would be TERRIBLE, awkward, and long but i get goosebumps just thinking about how good the whole thing felt and remembering how we looked at each other and 3) our pictures. Can't say it enough. Invest in good photography.
I love all this advice! Keep it coming newlywives!! xo
I really would love to write our own vows, but does anyone that did have any suggestions or directions in where to start or gather inspiration?
1. First look. I cannot emphasize how much I loved this! We had about half an hour alone together before the ceremony, and it was amazing. I was so nervous and anxious and like, "Is this really happening??" and the moment I saw him, I totally just calmed down. All of a sudden, this big step we were about to take felt like the most natural thing in the world.
2. Having a family-only ceremony. A lot of people fought us on this, and I'm so glad we stood our ground. We really wanted our ceremony to be intimate and for us to be able to focus on each other, without feeling nervous about sharing our vows in front of 100+ people. A lot of people have told me that they didn't feel present during their ceremonies, almost like it was an out of body experience. I still cannot believe how amazingly present I was. I was totally focused on my husband and took in every beautiful moment of our ceremony.
3. Setting aside about two hours for pictures after the ceremony with just us. Our MOH and BM (our only wedding party members) were there for some of it, but mostly it was just us and our photographers, and that time alone as a married couple was amazing.
4. Our amazing photographers. We still haven't gotten pictures yet, but we know they will be stunning. And they were such a pleasure to work with on our wedding day. They were so much fun to be around, and everyone loved them. It was totally worth splurging on them! Seriously, good photographers are worth every penny. I've heard too many horror stories IRL and around the hive, and ladies, you will never regret spending more on amazing photography!
5. Doing a crazy first dance mega dance mix! That was so us, and our guests loved it!
@CupCakeMeg: Some of the blogger bees have posted about how to write your own vows. Here are a few helpful posts to get you inspired!
Definitely the personal touches to our wedding, especially writing our own vows!
-I will also say I'm so glad we did not do a first look. Our ceremony was not until 5pm and it was so fabulous waiting in anticipation to see my husband for the very first time walking down the aisle.
-I'm so glad we personalized everything. We wrote our ceremony, had a good friend officiate, I walked down the aisle to a song I chose, and our first dance song was so us.
-I'm very happy we chose to have everything (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, after party, guest rooms) all at the same place. One hotel. It was fabulous, convenient, and it let us be closer to our guests.
-Our first dance was easily my favorite moment of the whole event, and it was our 4 minutes of alone time. Even though everyone was watching, we didn't know they were there. It was very special.
-My father sang "I Loved Her First" to me during our reception. Not a dry eye in the house. I'll never forget that.
-I wish it hadn't gone by so quickly, but I have no tips on how to make it slow down. Just enjoy the memories.
-I'm so glad we went as a couple and made every table at the reception feel welcome. Regardless of the DJ and coordinator bugging us to speed it up so we could get on with the night, we took our time. Maybe it cut 15 minutes out of dancing, but screw it. We got to hug all of our guests.
-I wish I had known how stinkin' hot my dress would be while dancing. All of us were pouring sweat in there.
-I wish I had known beforehand that it would all work out, and I didn't have to be concerned about trusting my vendors or communication issues.
Happy that:
My first look at my husband was walking down the aisle with my eyes locked on his every second. It never entered our minds to do a "first look" and I never knew what his tux looked like, I wanted to be just as surprised as he was. He was very emotional, it was very touching. I was super calm (someone suggested it might have been the bannba I ate that morning. Apparently it has something to do with calmness). We didn't write our own vows, my hubby had a hard enough time, in fact when the officient said "Repeat after me" he said "Go slow please"...lol. He was so nervous!! but we did write our own ceremony. We took bits of the officients and things we wanted to incorporate so it made it personal for us.
We took time to sit at our table and just look. We looked at all our friends and family enjoy what we created, at our guests dancing and each other. He couldn't stop saying how beautiful I was and I how handsome he looked.
I did all the DIYing that I did. I got exactly what I wanted and I loved how everything turned out. It was totally worth all the craziness!!!
Not so happy with:
Inviting kids... If I could do it again I would have just had the 2 flower girls, the ringbearer (all 3 years old) and not the 5, 14-16 year olds who ran on the top floor balcony, rode the elevater up and down, threw rocks in the pool and played football by the pool. WTF? The little kids were perfect and the older ones caused some problems.
Not being firm on the "plus ones". We had guests gring guests. One male guest didn't bring a "female" date but another guy. Huh, I imagine him saying "Hey, I'm going to a wedding you wanna go? Free food, free drinks". I just found it strange.
Forgetting to adjust the amount of food for the caterer. We had guests decline a few days before the wedding and didn't let the caterer know so we had a LOT of leftover food from the buffet. I gave it to the girls that helped with the bar/serving.
There were minor things that went wrong but the most important is I married to my bestest friend and I am sooo in love!!!!
Wedding day:
- I'm really glad we decided to get married (just the 2 of us) in Las Vegas. I ended up being pretty nervous even then and so I couldn't imagine having to be in front of a bunch of people.
- I am so happy we did a photo shoot before our wedding in Vegas at the Neon Museum cuz they were seriously the best pictures!
- I am happy we decided to write our own vows. I just wish my vows were longer cuz my DH's went on for much longer than mine.
- I really wish I would have bought Dr Scholls inserts for my wedding shoes cuz my feet never hurt so bad as they did on my wedding night!
- Scenic Las Vegas Weddings turned out to be an awesome choice for us and they handled everything perfectly. I was also really impressed with my hair and makeup artist, SteveeDanielle in Vegas. She made me look like a magazine cover model. I have never felt so beautiful as I did on my wedding day.
- I am really happy that I got a shellac manicure cuz it held up very well for both my wedding and reception so it was well worth it!
At Home Reception:
- I really wish we would have taken more time to research djs for our at home reception cuz the dj we went with who was a co-worker friend of my DH's was terrible and hardly anyone danced at our reception.
- I really wish that we would have been involved in the planning for our at home reception more (It was thrown by my Mother in Law and she didn't involve us hardly at all in anything).
- I wish that I would have just decided to do my own makeup for the at home reception cuz my makeup artist that day did not do a very good job. My lipstick came off mostly before the reception started and my eye makeup was running. It definitely made me sad.
- I wish I would have told my Mother in Law not to put a sparkly table cloth on our sweetheart table cuz the entire night I was wiping sparkles off of my dress.
- I wish that I would have told my photographer at the reception that I wanted pictures of us with our families. I am pretty sad about not having those pics.
- I'm very happy that we didn't invite kids to our at home reception.
- I am very happy we decided to do a money dance cuz we did pretty well on it.
I am SO GLAD we didn't do a first look!!!!!!!!!! Loved the excitement!
I am glad we kept our ceremony intimate, it kept my nerves so much more calm only having the people that meant the most to us there.
If I could change something about the ceremony I would wish that our officiant acted like he cared, and did things the right way.
I would have kept our small wedding small and had no at home reception!
One of my FAV memories will always be us walking down the boardwalk in our wedding clothes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If only we could have had a photog follow us!
I wish I didn't expect to get that much money out of it, cuz we didn't. It sucked that way, but of well! It's done and the reception was for him.
we are very happy we:
a) spent the extra money on uplighting. Our venue looked phenomenal with the blue and purple lights.
b) got an expensive photographer
c) did not go with our cheapest food choice. The guests could not stop raving about the food.
d) did a first look. I was so nervous in the morning, it was amazing to see him before the ceremony and calm my nerves. Also, having a couple hours with him before the wedding to take pictures was very romantic.
everything else is kind of a blur, and I think the other details could have been changed/non existant and neither my hubby and i nor our guests would have noticed.
The ceremony was so much more of a big deal after the wedding than I would have thought. Immediately after, I just kept saying to everyone: "Wasn't that just the most wonderful wedding ceremony ever?" I just felt like it was so perfect, and not because it was particularly special or awesome, but just because it made us married. Everything else was an afterthought.
Things I thought I'd freak out about, but didn't care when they actually happened:
- The cake didn't look quite as nice as the picture I had given the bakery. Whatever, still cute and our guests didn't know the difference.
- We were short a centerpiece! Sounds like a disaster, but we just took the bridesmaids bouquets once the ceremon was over, put them in a vase, and that was the centerpiece. But make sure if you end up with one more table of guests than planned on, tell your florist!
- The DOC started cleaning up before the reception was over (she told me she usually does and i was concerned, but the day of I didn't even notice and they had everything cleaned up super quickly to avoid any fees for going over our time).
- Our recessional song, which I edited perfectly to fit our first kiss moment, started late. Sigh. Oh well.
-My shoes (flats!) gave me major blisters. Whatever, changed into the adorable penguin slippers my BMs brought along and kept dancing.
- No shows. Yeah, FI's family is known for this one, but I just blew it off - they were the ones who looked rude.
Kids at the wedding - everything I was afraid would happen did, but in the moment I was so darn happy to be at my wedding that I didn't care, it was a minor thing in the background that didn't get to me at all.
I thought I'd really regret the lack of a videographer or photobooth, but the dance floor was packed anyways and I have no desire to see what I looked like during the ceremony, I was so nervous with everyone watching, the camera would of made it worse.
Having my dad drive us to our hotel then my mom drove us to the airport in the morning. I thought it would be totally unromantic, but it turned out to be some very nice bonding time after a huge night with the people who made the wedding possible, I was very grateful for all of their help.
Things I wish we had done
Allowed more time for makeup - I felt very rushed getting dressed because I was trying to stall and wait for my mom's makeup to be done, but there didn't end up being time.
First look - I was against it but ended up before so nervous I was shaking walking down the aisle, which is so not like me! I think I would of been much calmer if I'd seen FI beforehand.
- Given the band more direction, they botched the anniversary dance badly!
Things I'm so glad we did
I'm glad I was picky about details...nor bridezilla picky, but I put a lot of thought into every little touch, and our guests could tell.
We had a bad feeling about our officiant and hired a new one. Sure enough, we never heard back from the first, he would of been a no show, and the new one was great. If you have a bad gut feeling about a vendor, listen to it!
Glad I spent extra to have the photographer longer, she was still very busy the whole time taking pics and I'm sure I would of missed some great ones by having her for a shorter period of time.
The late night snack, everyone loved it!
Hiring a DOC, I cannot stress how helpful she was! She setup all the details perfectly, our arch broke and I never knew because she rigged it right back up looking great. Also cleaned everything up quickly, made sure all the vendors knew where to put everything and what to do, I'm sure I would of been answering questions all day and stressing without her!
For me, there were a few things that I was really glad we did. It's funny, because a lot of the things I'm glad we did correspond to how well the photos of those moments came out!
Things I'm glad we did
1. A First Look. There were a lot of people who gave us flack about it, or who would do the silent judging thing, but I can say that without a doubt, this was the best decision we made. DH wasn't into the idea at first, but I loved the idea, and we agreed it would be best for our timeline to do one.
After the fact, he was so glad that we did.... we would have been sobbing through the ceremony otherwise, because I totally lost it as soon as I got within 4 feet of him for our first look.
Also, all of my favorite photos of us together were from the 45 mintues we set aside for our first look- we were relaxed, it was just us... so the photos came out great.
2. I had this great idea to give my dad a handkercheif in case he cried during the wedding. And I couldn't just go buy one and leave it at that- I had to go and embroider it myself with a little note to him.
I was going to give it to him at the rehearsal dinner, but I don't remember if I forgot it or what... either way, I ended up giving it to him like 20 minutes before the ceremony.
He was kind of mad at me, I think, b/c it made us both cry, but I cannot express how important those photos are to me now. That moment was priceless.
3. Ring Warming/Blessing- We just had our wedding party and immediate family bless our rings, but we're glad we did. For one, the ring dish we bought for it (Paloma's Nest for Anthropologie, with our initial) is something that I use all the time now. Also, I loved that it got our family involved- I have a sweet photo of my flower girl (my neice, who sat next to my parents) very seriously praying over our rings, a beautiful photo of my father in law praying over our rings, and even though we didn't get a photo of it, when my dad brought the rings back to us, he gave us both a hug and a kiss... it was unexpected, but it was a great moment.
4. Hair/Makeup: I went to my normal salon, and spent $40 on my updo (plus $50 for my hair flower), and I had a good friend do my makeup.... and you know what? I love my hair/makeup in my photos. I look like me, only prettier, and that's the idea :) (And the fact that I didn't break the bank on this is nice, too!)
Things I should have skipped
1. Ribbon Wands- This was partly poor planning on my part. We didn't do an "exit". People were supposed to wave them right at the end of the ceremony... but they didnt' get the memo. And then they all stood around like there was supposed to be an exit, but we didn't plan for one b/c we needed to do pictures.... so yeah. Woops.
2. Spending way too much on shoes. I bought a pair of expensive heels... and I loved them, don't get me wrong, but I wore a pair of flip flops under my dress for a good chunk of the day... basically any time I wasn't in photos. We had an outside wedding... really? What was I thinking? I really should have worried more about comfort than how cute the shoes were. (They were really, really cute, though!)
Something I wish I could change
1. Bridesmaids dresses.... I liked them. I did. But they were expensive and the girls won't rewear them, and I really did secretly want to do miss matched dresses.... I was just afraid that it would be too hard. My girls are so different, and a few of them would have bought the cheapest dress possible, and I just didn't want to deal with the stress, honestly.
2. I snapped at my aunt the day of the wedding... to be fair, nobody in my family likes her, she was being a b**ch, and totally deserved to get snapped at.... but we haven't spoken since, and I kind of hate knowing that she's going to go around telling everyone about what an ungracious bride I am.
Sorry... but she called me for directions. THE BRIDE! You don't call the bride for directions. I politely told her I didn't have time to help her, and that she needed to call someone else, and she proceeded to get snotty with me. "We're lost and you don't have time to help us?" Hmmmm.... I'm getting married today, no, I don't have time. I basically yelled something like "I'm getting married today, don't be mean to me" and hung up.
Yeeeeeah.... wish that hadn't happened.
1. First look. It was a romantic moment and some of my favourite photos.
2. Our DJ was amazing. He really set the tone for the party and had everyone in such a great mood with the game he played between speeches and dinner. (Played a guess that song game, and if they got it right we kissed, adn if they got is wrong, we picked who kissed at the table....it was a hit). And then he played awesome music all night....the dance floor was always full.
3. So glad we did a church wedding. Our priest made our ceremony so full of meaning and beauty. Our non-Catholic friends appreciated the tone of the ceremony as much as our Catholic friends.....they said they liked what our priest said.
The only thing that even at this point I still wish we would've done is get videography. I would give anything to be able to hear our vows again or our toasts or watch as the day unfolds. I tell this to everyone I know getting married. It is worth the money and you will regret it if you don't get it done!
Things I'm really glad we did
1) sweetheart table - it allowed for us to be able to spend some alone time together and talk one on one. It felt very intimate
2) Wrote our own ceremony - it felt really personal, people loved it and it was very "us"
3) Our food - we were very particular about the food we were serving. We have been to 6 weddings since our own and I can say not one had food that even came close to how good ours was. People still talk about how good our food was!
4) Left our reception by boat - Our parents were very skeptical about this idea and really did not want us to do it even though we were adamant....we did it anyyway and even though we ended up getting lost on the lake for 2 hours, it was so much fun and I love the pictures of us pulling away from the dock. I will never forget that boat trip which was truly our first challenge and adventure as a married couple. It also made a really great story to tell!
SO glad we:
-Did a first look - not only was it great to see each other but we were able to get all the photos out of the way before the ceremony (we didn't have any gaps as our ceremony & reception were at the same place)
-Hired the photographer that we did - our pictures are amazing and I love them! It is so great reliving those memories.
-Had a day-after brunch at the hotel the next day. It was so nice to get to hang out with friends and family even more... super casual just sitting around and chatting about the previous night. I'd suggest leaving the day after your wedding free if possible (we left for our honeymoon Mon morning instead of Sun).
-Had an evening wedding (ceremony started at 5:30pm). Not only was it great to party late into the night with our friends (reception ended at midnight), but we had all morning and most of the afternoon to just relax! Our hair & makeup didn't start until 11 (as opposed to weddings I've been in that start at the crack of dawn) so we could all sleep in and just hang out around the house while getting ready. The excitement & anticipation during that morning was so great, like the night before Christmas.
Wish we had:
-Spent a little more time visiting with non-dancing guests. We did go around to every table during dinner, which was great, but for the rest of the reception we were pretty much on the dance floor the entire time... don't get me wrong, I LOVED the dancing, and most of our guests were out there anyway, but there were some people I felt I didn't get enough one-on-one time with because they weren't on the dance floor. But, of course, had I visited more, I'd probably be lamenting the fact I didn't dance enough. Can't win! :)
-Told our photographer more specifically that I wanted photos of certain details. I asked generally if detail shots had been taken, and was told yes, but when we got the photos back, a lot of things were missing. In the grand scheme of things it is not a big deal because the photos we do have are fantastic (and really, it's the people that are important), but I put a lot of time into the details and can't really remember what they all looked like set up. Oh well, maybe it'll be on the video!
I can't really think of any other regrets (and truthfully, these are pretty minor). All in all it was a fantastic day!
Things I loved:
I have had 2 weddings in my life and I learned somethings from both...
#1 thing.... good photographer. Invest in one you like. research and find a style that you really love and will cherish.
#2 have fun, SMILE! Don't try to look too serious.
#3 spend time with your husband. Talk to him, have a "I love you" conversation in private, don't just brush him off cause you have a hundred people waiting to oohh and ahh at you in your dress
THAT's IT! Don't fret the small stuff
i am so happy about how our ceremony turned out - down to the wine box ceremony, writing our own vows and having two of closest friends be readers. i loved all of it. i always knew the actual ceremony would be the most important and it really was the best part of the day. so much so that if i could go back, i would get a videographer just for the ceremony. though i am lucky since one of my friends graciously videotaped the whole ceremony for us on my camera! thats how i know now just how important the video was! i asked him to videotape 1 - 2 minutes so i could have a snapshot video, i never expected/wanted him to tape the whole thing since he was there as a guest. but he did and to this day, i cannot express enough gratitude! so i got lucky, but will advice any future brides how special/amazing it is to have a complete video of our ceremony.
what i wish i done different was be more generous with time when organizing a timeline for pictures with my photographer. we had it all planned out good, but things happen (we started late, took longer for bride and groom photos), and as a result, we have limited bridal party photos that i love. so i wish i had someone planned the timeline better. we have 30 mins for B&G, 30 mins for bridal party and 30 mins for family. i would say an hour each would have been better. like 2 hours before the ceremony and 1 hour after. and then if things go off schedule/get delayed, then you still have time. if things go on time, then you have you extral lounging around/relaxing time if you finish photos early!
what i could have done without are some of the smaller details like matching toasting flutes, guest book and cake knife. none of was that important and not really worth the money. these were things i just bought because i came across them online. basically if i hadnt seen them advertised, i never would have bought them nor cared/noticed.
Things I'm glad we did:
Things I would have changed
My take-away--you have to decide what is most important to you and sure those things happen. Sometimes, you have to make hard choices (like taking a bunch posed photos vs. spending time at the cocktail hour.) It's so easy to second-guess yourself after the fact--don't let yourself do it. I have another post obsessing over all of the small things that went "wrong" day-of (see http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-went-wrong-at-your-wedding-what-went-better-than-expected). But two months later, I can't figure out why I worried about any of these things. The day was AMAZING!

As my day comes closer and closer, I'm getting so caught up in the details that I'm worried I'll miss the big picture-- not the marrying the love of my life part, but enjoying our wedding.
So, after the fact, what do you guys look back on and say, "Wow, I'm so glad we did that" or "our wedding wouldn't have been everything we dreamed of without..."?
And on the flip side, what do you wish you had known/done?
