Anyone else feel some regrets over their wedding?

Amy, on April 20, 2020 at 1:30 PM Posted in Married Life 0 7
Does anyone else have regrets over their wedding? I was postpartum, literally left a job I hated a week before my wedding... so I was not in a good place mentally. I don’t think that my now husband and I were in a good place in our relationship at that point (better now). My MIL and SIL and I do not get along (that won’t change). And to top it off, our DJ ignored every single request, and so I pretty much avoided my own reception (hubs did too).
Lately I’ve been thinking of maybe doing a vow renewal at like 5 years, and kind of revisiting the day.
Anyone else out there feel like this?

    A vow renewal is a great idea so that you could have the celebration you truly wanted! there are some things i do regret but i want to be able to focus on the good we take for granted. so think - what GOOD things did you like about that day?

    I agree with Melle. I had a ton of things go wrong (my coordinator was the root of all the issues and screwed up sooo much — dress and veil, didn’t make rounds to tables to say “hi”, signs, are etc). I cried a few times after my wedding after uncovering more and more things she messed up. However, my husband constantly reminded me of all the other things that went right and how we should focus on that.


    I do think a vow renewal would be a great way to finally get the wedding or celebration you wanted! It’s also just a great way to acknowledge and celebrate this positive stage in your life and marriage you two are now in.
    How long ago was your wedding?

    I love the idea of a vow renewal anyway. And with everything you mentioned, sounds like a lot of fun and photos you'd probably adore.

    Oh totally do it. You can even do it for your one or two-year anniversary! Smiley smile


    My husband and I are playing with the idea of doing our small vegas ceremony (what I originally wanted haha) for our one year anniversary.

    I love that! I feel like we’ll do a really small party. Our original wedding was a beach wedding, so I’d love to do that again, but really small and intimate!

    Good point! I loved that the wedding day weather- which was predicted to be terrible- was absolutely gorgeous! For a beach wedding, it was make or break! And it was fun walking to both the first look and our ceremony- in different locations- and having people go ‘There’s the Bride!’ Etc
