What went wrong?

[Gigi]

keep a notebook by your bed

each time you think of something, sit up, lamp on, write it in notebook

it's written down now
so you can sleep, knowing you will have that notebook to refer to in the morning

BIG HUGS TO YOU
weddings sound very stressful to me!

my ZIP on my dress broke!!! Yes my $2500 dress that was professionally (sp?) made broke the day of my wedding! half way up too, so I almost couldn't breath when they tried to get it off me. Yes I laugh now, & did find out that had a bad batch of zips & it happened to several poor girls around the same time. Though funniest part of the story, 2yrs earlier at my sis wedding we decided to try on our bridesmaide dresses that night for fun & YES my zip broke!!! small town, so mum rang the dress maker & said "you will be here to fix it 7am whilst we get our hair etc done"...all done no worries. So when it came to my special day Mum made me buy a sewing kit and we actually had to use it! the photographer thought it was great, he got some great pictures.
Apart from that it was a great day & I'm sure your's will be everything you want it to be & more!

...we had a carpet snake try to eat the food...

oh and scrub turkeys invaded the ceremony...

but we loved it!

The cd started skipping as i walked down the aisle and they had to turn it off, so I had no music... double check your cd's

My dad got sick and couldn't walk me down the aisle, but that was unavoidable.

Ds chucked a massive tanty at the start of the ceremony, also unavoidable but try not to miss a day nap with your munchkin!

My nan has a theory that something is guarenteed to go wrong, so it's best if it's a little thing that happens early on in the day. So if something does go wrong, just breath a sigh of relief that the worst is over with and there will be no more hiccups from then in

Hi cheeky monkey are you getting ready at home? Because I didn't and that ended up a real pain. I had things in three separate motel rooms and I was running from room to room searching for things. Bridesmaid and mother were of no help.

Just if you are getting ready at someone else's home or a hotel room make sure you bring all you need and have it with you.

I wish you a great day

My mother was more concerned about her hair than mine and ended up getting me to the hairdressers' late! (didn't really matter, but I was p!ssed off)
Got ready in a hotel room, but came back from hairdressers to find that friends had forgotten to leave key at reception.
My veil fell off its hanger, didn't discover until right before we were due at hairdresser. It wasn't too wrinkled, but Bridezilla came on out and had a fit!
DH decided last minute not to wear shoes. I was FUMING! (only because I was the one who'd wanted to go barefoot and only didn't because of HIS mother!)

But they all sound so stupid now. We had a fab day, we are happily married, and a LOT of people said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to.

Pfft! I'd have told her to Jam it! XD DF is wearing anice pair of jeans when we get married, and his mum is horrified... but he's still wearing them!

My way of thinking is that it's only time to stress if the groom doesn't rock up

the only thing that majorily went wrong on my wedding day is that I turned up - I should have gone with gut instinct and not shown up, don't get me wrong I loved the guy - I was just in the totally wrong headspace to get married at that point in time

Everything will be fine - I went to the microsoft site and downloaded some wedding templates for things like photo checklists (for photographer so they know the type of photos to take), emergency kits for the brides etc.

[Heaven]

Nothing went wrong on mine!! It was perfect!! So that could happen to you. I was waiting for something to go wrong, lol.

[*Ang*]

Our wedding day was over 40 degrees!! So we were all soo soo hot...made for some great photos tho including ones of me standing on charis getting ready with portable fans blowing up my dress to cool me down!! I had to have water in the church too to stop me from fainting (church had no aircon!).

Also one of our pageboys didnt make it down the aisle as he got scared but what do you expect from a 2.5 year old.

But other then that a great day!

best piece of advice i can offer is to not sweat the small stuff on the day. yeah, it's inevitable you'll be stressing up til the day BUT - if you sweat the small stuff you won't enjoy yourself - and as much as this is a "public" declaration of your love, it's a declaration of YOUR love - so YOU and your DP need to enjoy yourself!

on the day, we had DH's extranged family try to sabotage our reception (thankfully the reception venue fixed what they'd done). we didn't find out til the next day

ummm, the only thing that really happened (and made everyone giggle) is that DH's fly broke just before i arrived - so his fly was gaping the whole time! thankfully i didn't notice - and someone managed to find safety pins for him (we got married only just up the road from home, so all that stuff was accessible). i spent the rest of the day helping him in and out of his trousers when he needed the loo though lol

make sure you have drinks with you - you never know what the weather will do - the weekend before our wedding was atrocious, the weekend after was horrid (to the point of flooding out this way - in FEB!) - our wedding was almost 40degrees! have water and a straw (to stop lipstick smudging) - and EAT - don't want to be passing out from no energy!
