I hated my wedding. It was horrible. A bridesmaid messsed it up. I am now on the verge of tears and I want to redo everything. But i Cant. I put so much hard work and time into it all and now I am depressed. yes we ended up married, but it hurt to not be able to walk down the aisle and see him in his suite. I was in makeup dress and full attire while he was in ripped jeans and a tee shirt, cause we were so late starting, then to top it all off, my nephew had to go to the hospital. I am so pissed off.

 

and to top it alll off the officiant was late.

yes I ended up married, but it still sucks

If I could do it again I would, but no money, and no anything, it sucks

Oh man - I am so sorry! That's terrible! 

Maybe in a year or two you could renew your vows for your anniversary? Just a thought.

(Hugs) So sorry you had to go through that!!

I agree with amanda.lynn-- Maybe a vow renewal will be nice.

You never know... the ripped jeans/t-shirt look on a groom might just be the next big thing.

My wedding wasn't everything I dreamed.  Half of my plans fell through.  I think some time and distance from it will make you feel better.  Because I can look back now and laugh at some of the things that I was really upset about the day after.  Give it a week and try not to think or dwell on it.  Maybe in a couple of months, you'll be where I am--laughing at all of our "wedding adventures!"  Sorry and much {{{HIVE HUGS}}}

Im so sorry your wedding wasnt as you pictured it.  I hope your nephew is ok.  Since you still have your dress can you do a ceremony at your courthouse where you wear your dress and he gets dressed up?  Just out of curiousity, I know you were running late but was someone not able to pick up your husbands suit and thats why he wasnt able to wear it?

So sorry. Hugs.

For the first few weeks after the wedding I could only focus on what went wrong- as the weeks and months float on by- I feel a lot better about it. I promise your memories will become more positive.

But if not, I think a Vow renewal is an awesome second chance at a perfect ending.

Oh no how awful! If you don't want to tell us what happened, we'll understand but I'm kind of confused.

Plan a 1-year vow renewal. It may seem a little early, but who the hell gives a monkey poop?! Do it anyways and only invite your closest of the closest. Or do it somewhere just you and him

Oh goodness, I would be upset too. *Hugs* Like the other bees have suggested, a vow renewal would be a nice way to have another go.

Aww :( I think a vow renewal sounds like a really good idea. It's probably better to have a not-so-great wedding and a super-duper marriage than a super-duper wedding and a not-so-great marriage. Sometimes those are the kinds of things that will make you stronger.

Or instead of a vow renewal (or in addition) maybe you two could get dressed up in your wedding attire and do a "day after"  (week after, month after, whatever) shoot?  You could ask a friend who's good with a camera to take the photos.  Maybe that will help you to fix the image of your groom in ripped jeans?

But for now at least you've got a unique story!  That said...care to share the story?

What happened?  Let us know?  We're here for you and I've got a shoulder to cry on!

And fwiw, there isn't any perfect day ever.  It's the love that counts.  And a vow renewal at a romantic spot or where you both honeymooned is a great idea!

Heck when I married my xh let's see what went wrong..Oh my 2.4 carat solitaire engagement ring was LOST by the best man and I got married wearing my sister's engagement ring (how's that one?).  It was found an hour after the reception in his ash try (he's a non smoker) in his car and that's where he put it so he wouldn't FORGET IT and not bring it to the church!

My xh's sister (she was a bm too) refused to get her hair and makeup done by the professionals I hired and PAID FOR and walked out there looking like a drowned rat that just stepped out of the shower with no makeup and hair not dry.  Grrr!

Stuff happens!

I had a friend (on another thread i talked about it) who had her nail catch fire during the lighting of the unity candle and another couple who were getting married at a church very near a railroad crossing and the train came rolling throught (a very long like 20 minute train) and nobody could hear the minister or the couple say the vows and the entire ceremony was basically unheard except for the loud train and its horn.  That was fun huh?

I'm so sorry that your wedding wasn't what you wanted it to be, Miss Chocoholic.  :(  I agree with the other posters--you should try to do a vow renewal and see if you can make it more the way you pictured.

Plan a vow renewal, just the two of you, for your 1 year anniversary. You don't need much money - you can wear your dress, he can wear a suit, and just have a really special moment at some picturesque location, like a park. You could even do it on a mini-vacation! That would be extra special. Definitely have pictures of it taken, too - with a student photographer or a good friend.

Sorry to hear it didn't turn out well, but your marriage is what matters!

I'm sorry to hear that your day didn't turn out as expected. If you feel like filling us in, we're all here to support you!

Also, if you ever watched Sex and the City - when Charlotte and Harry got married, Carrie tells Charlotte that the worse the wedding the better the marriage. Sounds like you guys are on your way to a golden anniversary anyhow!

Aww, Chocoholic, that sucks so bad. Big hugs! I think a one-year vow renewal would be wonderful. I would jump at the chance to wear my dress again :)

AWWWWW I'm so sorry to hear that!!! You deserve the very best and I hope that you feel better soon! Hopefully you can do something like the others have suggested and do a vow renewal....maybe you could even bring your dress and he could bring a suit on your honeymoon and you could have a special ceremony with just the two of you!! That actually sounds VERY romantic and perfect!!

I'm so sorry your day did not go as you planned and wanted it too.  I know it must hurt, a lot. 

I agree with the others, do a vow renewal in a year, or two, or however long you need to save up and do it as you feel it should have been done.  If it's five years -- sure it would be hard to wait that long but think about how sweet it would be to celebrate five years of MARRIED love.  You guys deserve it!

 

More hugs for you:
