Just Said Yes July 2021

i Didn't Like (or enjoy) My Wedding

Jessica, on August 2, 2021 at 12:33 PM Posted in Married Life 0 7

I feel horrible complaining about this, but I just got married two days ago and it was all just horrible. Let me preface this by saying I did most of the planning and organizing myself and between months of that and dealing with my extremely difficult family I was already over it. Even still I was excited looking forward to the day. I guess i'll just list of the things that i feel really ruined the day for me: WARNING this is a full on rant.

-The day before we held a rehearsal. Our ceremony site was a firepit that was suppose to have a cover to go overtop it that we could stand on and come to find out the park threw it away forcing my then fiance to start a full on construction project to construct another one

-The day of which i was determined to be as relaxing as possible i went to get my nails done and the technician could not grasp what i wanted her to do (which was to do a full set with just plain, unadorned acrylic). Instead she did them how she wanted. They looked horrible (to me) and i was forced to go to a different nail salon wasting another 3 hours to have those nails taken off and to get what i wanted all along

-My family was all late driving in due to an accident and i was forced to start getting ready with my two rambunctious toddlers alone

-When my family did finally get in town (1 hrs before the wedding) I was still getting my hair and makeup done in the hotel and the hotel desk kept trying to make me come down to pay for my family's' rooms evening though i checked in with them multiple times since my arrival the day before and supplied my card and card number numerous times. I eventually had to have someone come get my card and leave it at the desk so they wouldn't call me anymore

-My grandmother offered of her own volition to come to the hotel to help me get ready and actually stood me up so that was fun

-Because i had no help and my two year old daughter decided to break down and refuse to wear her flower girl dress or any clothes for that matter i ended up being an hour late to the wedding

-I lost 13 pounds without trying and my dress was super baggy on me. That, combined with the fact that i hated my hair and makeup, i felt super hideous and awkward the entire day

-Because i was so late to the wedding, we lost daylight and had to do photos in the middle of the reception, but by the time it all happened most of my family left and we have no family photos

- I couldn't locate my now husband most of the night and i don't think he realized how sad that made me

-My side of the family decided to cause drama and refused to eat the food we paid for them to eat citing "they saw a hair"

-My husband go this amazing 8 person band to perform live and our guests refused to dance. Seriously....it was embarrassing. I had knee surgery a few weeks ago and am not suppose to be dancing, but thought it people saw me up they'd join. Thankfully my husbands best man joined me, but we were left alone on the dance floor while everyone watched. Again...not sure where my husband was

Y'all i could go on and on and on. I had probably one of the worst nights i think ive ever had and believe i would've had more fun just having a family movie night at home. I won't say everything was horrible, because there were some brief nice periods, but as a whole i can't say i'll look back on my day with any sort of fondness and am glad it's over Smiley sad

    I’m really sorry to hear you had a bad day. Have you had an honest conversation with your husband about your feelings and how the day impacted you? And ask where the heck he was? Open communication is key - don’t hold on to this. Talk to him and share what you need to be different in the future.

    I’m so so sorry your day went like this. It sounds like a lot went wrong and that really sucks. I agree with PP, please make sure to speak to your husband and ask where he was, what happened and how it made you feel. I’d be very sad too if I didn’t get to spend much time with my husband on our wedding day because he couldn’t be found.

    That's very unfortunate and I wish it went better for you. Definitely talk to him because there's no reason you shouldn't have been able to locate your HUSBAND all night! Wishing you the best.

    I'm so sorry you had some low moments. Definitely agree with PPs about talking to your husband. You don't want this to lead to any ongoing issues.

    Jessica I'm truly sorry that you had to go through this. Shame on all of them. I know no words can make up for the loss of enjoyment on what was supposed to be the most special day ever but I look at it like this...and I'm bringing God into this.....the way I see it, God does not make mistakes. Maybe this was your moment to see people for who they really truly are. Maybe it's a sign to remove some of these so called family members and friends out of your life. Making room for people who truly love you and support you.


    I do think you should talk to your husband, about what...I'm not sure but there needs to be some sort of conversation about this. I truly hope you can talk about it and move on to something greater!

    Agree on that. If its one thing I learned from wedding planning was you start to see peoples true colors. I did with some family and friends that I was surprised by. The most important thing was , is that you married your husband. I agree like what most ppl said about talking with him on how you feel. And again, I'm so sorry!
