I'd DoI'd let the DJ do his job again. I'm glad I ran out of time to make up a list of "must play" and "don't play" songs. We hired a professional, we let him do what we paid him to do, and it worked out great!

i made myself a wedding book where i wrote everything i wanted for our wedding and showed to couple of my friends and also told about the wedding details etc...bec i was very excited.turn out that the "friends" made so much trouble like they are having problem with my 7 layers cake,my gown and my hall decorations,worst is that they went and told some of our guest.my wedding is only 2 months away and i am so stress and upset about the situation.my advise is be sure that your friends can be trusted.

I'd wait until about six months before to buy my dress. I got it too far in advance and disliked it. I had to try to sell it and find something else for less money because my budget was low!

If I were to do it again, I'd hire a wedding consultant, at least for the day if nothing else. Several family members pitched in to set up, but it turned out to be a lot more work than I had planned, and I felt badly that everyone had to work so hard... especially my husband who hardly had enough time to get ready!

I'd do my entire wedding again. It was, by far, the most memorable and magical day of my life! It was six months ago and I still glow when I think about it.

That as a couple, if you can afford to have your wedding on your own, do it! I am getting married this November and I'm finding that having no financial strings to other family members/relatives has avoided a lot of opinions being leveled our way. My fiancee & I can plan our wedding the way we want, how we want and when we want. Our wedding is turning out to be a true reflection of us as a couple, not the vision of others who think we should be doing things their way! It is also avoiding hurt feelings on both sides of the family in making decisions!

I would give each family a set number of people that they could invite with our limited budget. Both families are contributing money to the wedding, which is really nice of them, but my Fh's family is not contributing much and they are inviting over half of our guests and come from a small family. Once my Fh's mother was set on who she was inviting she refused to even consider eliminating her co-workers and neighbors. If we had given her a set number she may have kept her invites at a reasonable number.

I am getting married in 14 months. This will be my second marriage, so I actually have the opportunity for some redo's. The first time I got married it all happened so fast that I was engaged and married within six months. I only started planning the wedding about two months prior. What a mistake!! This time I gave myself plenty of time. With most of the guests traveling from Vermont to Arizona we not only needed plenty of time for oursleves, but also for the family. It is never too early to start planning one of the happiest and most important days of your life.

Even though our wedding is over a year away, my fiance and I are busy planning the major activities that we want for our special day. Even though he didn't know that the bridesmaids' dresses are supposed to match the flowers in some way or another, it is still cute that he is trying. It is great to have his support and when things have gotten crazy busy, I just sit back and know that he is the one I get to spend the rest of my life with, he is my best friend. I'm very glad to have his support and input on everything and I would not want it any other way.

What I would do instead of having two tosses is find a wedding pinata and fill it with candy. Have the children under the age 12 each pull a string until the candy bursts out. While they are doing this youcan have your bouquet toss and not worry about the children.
