Location: Deep in the heart of Texas. | I was thinking today and was going to ask all of the married people on here. If there was one thing in your wedding that you could change what would it of been. And how did you pick your wedding date? Yes i am married i was just wondering how everyone else picked theirs.

| Just guessing here, but I would bet most would say they wished they would have focused more on the marriage and less on the wedding. |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | OK I see you edited your post and yes you are married. The wedding is the smallest part of a marriage. Colors, who's standing up for you, where its at and the date is small potatoes compared to love, respect, being faithful etc. |

Hahahaha! I'm sorry that's terrible but funny!
For me.
1. I was pregnant.
2. I had very minimal money to pay for the wedding so bought my dress at a costume shop for 25.00. It was ugly and didn't fit well.
3. The day of the wedding my mom picked up the wrong hoop skirt and it showed terribly so I opted not to wear it.
4. Realized w/o the hoop skirt you could see my undies so went commando instead.
5. My hair looked awful ( went to a family friend because he was free) big mistake.
6. My makeup was even worse. The hubs said I should have done it myself lol.
7. It was raining. ( In a white dress...commando...)
8. No dress rehearsal so the groomsmen dragged my bridesmaids down the aisle going mach 10.
9. My red/white cake had SO much red food coloring it was almost inedible.
10. When my dad was giving a speech at the "reception" he banged on the table to get everyone's attention. The groom on top of the cake fell off, the head broke off, and rolled across the floor...everyone thought that was hilarious.
11. The limo driver dropped us off at the wrong hotel, so I had to walk 2 blocks, in my wedding dress, in the rain to the right one. (Our cell phones were already at the hotel in the room, relatives set it up for us)
12. My hubby had to work the next day, I had to work and be at the Dr. at 9:00. Needless to say we never had a honeymoon.
However, we've been married 9 years in February with 2 beautiful boys and it makes a good story lol.

| i let my hubby pick the date so he would remember the date (WHICH HES AWFUL AT)
He gets it wrong anyway ....WHY??? you ask.... WELL .. HE DIDNT REALIZE MEMORIAL DAY WAS A DIFFERENT DATE EACH YEAR!!!
he picked that day because it was the anniversary of our first date-- i know sweet..so no matter what the date is--i always celebrate my anniversary on memorial day.
as far as changes-- i would have double checked with the bakery to make sure i got MY WEDDING CAKE..sent someone to pick it up-- they came back with a small cake wasnt the one i picked or paid for and wasnt even close to feeding all the family we had there

Location: Minnesota | I would change not getting SMASHED at my reception. I drank way to much!  
The date was picked because it had to be planned around goose opener, duck opener, trapping season opener and the end of the racing season for my husband. We were marrier on September 8th, 2012. |

Location: N Texas | I picked October 6 because I like fall weather, and being in north Texas, I figured I'd have a good shot at some awesome weather for the day. WRONG. It was SO COLD, I was so bummed out.
I would change a lot about it if I could go back and re-do it. I wouldn't try so hard to do all the "traditional" stuff...like matching everything. I would make it more like a party and less like a wedding reception. I also would've picked a venue with an indoor option. We had an outdoor wedding, and the reception was under covered pavilion, not inside, so everyone was cold, but they were real troopers anyway.
I would also hire professional caterers instead of relying on my hubby's family, so that my guests would be served WARM food.
My wedding was way too stressful for me, I really didn't like all the planning. I'm definitely missing the "it's MY day, and this will be so much fun!" gene. |

| We got married on the 4th of July because we knew that we would both have that weekend off from work (plus now we get fireworks on our anniversary)! We eloped with only two people and a photographer present. I guess really the only thing I would change is I would have someone there with a video recorder too. My husband has the tiniest bit of a speech impediment that blows up under pressure. I'm officially his "awfully wedded wife", because he got stuck four different times on "awfully", I was in hysterics laughing and the JP could barely get his words out either from laughing at us all. Then I got hysterics again when it was my turn and got stuck on "lawfully wedded husband", because I couldn't breathe from laughing too much. I would definitely elope and the whole mess, clothes, venue, photographer, etc. ended up costing like $3500 total and the photos and memories are so wonderful. :) |

Location: Idahome | We got married during the NFR on Dec. 6. We picked that because we have friends and family from all over and thought that would entice them to come to the wedding. The only thing I would have changed is my photographer. He got some good pics, but had no personality and we really didn't care for him. I also wish Pinterest would have been around back when we got married. Otherwise, we did all the decor and it turned out really well. We left before everyone and they had to kick people out because no one wanted to leave. |

Location: lost in missouri | My sister, my brother in law, myself and my husband each picked a day, put it in a hat and my BIL drew one out. Lets see I would rethink putting a candle on the table with our guest book as our guest book was caught on fire. I would not forget my husbands wedding band in my truck console and I would think twice about lettig the first boy who ever kissed me (first grade lol) sing at our wedding and reception, at least he didnt announce in church and waited until the reception to let everyone know i was the first girl he ever kissed. lol it was funny and sweet so maybe i wouldnt change that part. |
