What went wrong?

So what went wrong, or not to plan, on your wedding day?


Just wanting a bit of a list for things to watch out for.

Finally convinced myself that not everything is going to go 100% to plan, but that I probably be the only one that will even notice anyway.

Throw them at me girls...

oh sweetie, i am tempted to say "stop torturing yourself".

i bet you've done heaps of planning for The Big Day.

Whatever happens, you will be married by the end of it, and that is the whole reason for the wedding isn't it? to be married to the person you love.

big hugs to you, i hope you are able to sleep. (not lay awake making lists).

Thank-you Gigi, I wish I were able to do as you say. The mental lists are driving me bonkers.

I woke myself up at 4am this morning because I suddenly remembered that I hadn't organized for anyone to pick up the balloons and deliver them. Could have waited until morning, but nooo I had to get up and write myself a note to organize it when everyone else was awake at a decent hour. lol

Oh I will look back on this and laugh at how stupid it all is.

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 were paying for wine by the bottle, rather than a 5hr drink package, when it came time for the speeches and toasts no-one asked for the bubbly to be served, so all toasts were done with wine. I only realised after we had gone home, so it wasn't such a big problem, though a little dissapointed as what is a wedding without Champagne?
The other was I had a 3 tire cake, the top layer being fruit, the bottom 2 chocolate mud cake. The fruit cake was for the few traditionlay rellies who like fruit cake, which I don't. Anyway I assume they served up all the cake, as I didn't have any to take home after, I don't know if they had some left over out the back, either way they never gave it back to me. I didn't have a large wedding either.

I also have a friend who was buying wine by the bottle, over a drinks package and her reception centre kept clearing away her half full/empty wine glass whenever she walked away from it to socialise with guests. At one point she left a note on it asking for it the be left and it was still cleared away. She was annoyed at the thought that if this was happening to many guests, that she was paying for alot of wine to be thrown out.
