it in different shades of pink, not worry if something goes wrong, keep jealous folks out of the planning, get Dad and other guests an earlier / alternate date to meet, before bigger celebration which they said they could not participate. OOXX :-) Sept. 24'th /'05 and Dec. 24'th/'05

IF I had my way & a chance to do things all over again I would opt NOT trying to please my dear sweet husbands family. I would have the wedding here in the town we live in not 10 hours away. That way I could ensure that things went my way & I had the most spectaculiar day of my life. The in laws would be GUESTS & they COULD NOT take over & have MY reception they way THEY wanted it. AND would NOT take over the photographers & tell them what pictures to take afterall WE payed for the entire wedding MY husband & I NOT the in laws. All they did was buy what they were wearing.

the location, the time of year - free of tropical storms, I should have done more research on tents. I was recommended a company and went with them and I should not have!!! I would have loved to have had more money to spend, we were on a strict budget and it would have been nice to have more freedom. Dont skimp on things you really want. give your self time on your day to do typical wedding things. Make appointments to get our hair/makeup done. I really wish we could have left the stress and just hang out with the girls. I did not have time to take a shower - I did my own last minute hair and make up and it was just insane. The whole weekend just was crazy and not like any other wedding i have been to, i feel ripped off. Nothing went as planned and I would re-do it in a second.

the same color scheme and all that, I would have the same amount of people attending and still do the weekend wedding idea.

I recommend hiring a professional videographer. I almost didn't, thinking it wouldn't matter, that anyone at the wedding could do it. I was wrong!!! I did end up hiring someone, because my mother wanted it and it was the best thing I ever did! Not only did the professional video tape the ceremony, but he did a montage of film of the entire day. That portion is priceless to me because it captures different parts of the day that you didn't even realize. Final note: Those family and friends who did tape and gave us copies, they are nice but not the quality I would have wanted. Get a professional!!!

I would have told my guests the wedding started 15 minutes before it actually did so that things were more settled before the ceremony started.

I would make sure I made time to actually taste the food I had out for my cocktail reception. I regret not knowing how everything tasted for my guests.
