My two big regrets are missing out on family portraits with the photographer - especially getting a pic of dh our daughter and i - we got a pic of each of us seperately with her but then she got cranky and was wisked away - missing out on family pics i hold my photographer accountable because i fel she should have reined us in better and shown more initiative and direction (this is where her inexperience showed)

I also wish i had had more time to mingle with the guests - I feel we didnt show enough time to so many people who had to travel far to see us

Thanksgiving weekend 2008

I loved having my parents at the wedding, but I regret sitting next to my CMIL at dinner. I think everyone could have had a lot more fun if we didn't know what was going on with her.

Regrets...I have a few.  No really I don't have too many.  I think that I would have insisted on writing a proper speech. I just winged it.  I kept putting it off - it seemed that there was always something more important to do then write a speech.

2nd: I think I would tried to spend more time just sitting and mingleing with guests.  I know that I saw every one and actually said thank-you to every one (we had a receiving line) but I don't feel like I actuallu got to spend time with anyone!

I've had so many people tell me my wedding was the best wedding they had ever been too.  Now whether it's or not I don't know but it makes me feel good and that everyone had a good time.  I can't say I regret anything or that I would have done anythig differently. 

I can't pick one favourite moment there were so many...I just loved being there with family & friends and my new husband

If I could change one thing it would be that I was skinnier on my wedding day..not that I am super heavy or anything but I would have like slimmer arms and now I see the photos all the time it frustrates me. In my defense though I gave birth to our daughter seven months before the wedding and did all the planning myself and had a baby to take care of so who had time to work out???

Other than that all my dreams came true and I'd do it a million times over!

I can't believe I've been married for a year and with the same guy for 7 years all together! Time flies!!!!

The best moment for me was spending a couple of minutes by ourselves outside immediately after the ceremony, to just soak it in. It was also great to hear afterward that we'd inspired my cousin's BF to finally propose to her, because he saw how heartfelt and laid-back our wedding was.

One of my regrets is our photographer - although we got some great shots, we went with someone relatively inexperienced, and he missed a bunch of the more interesting shots I'd asked for. My other main regret is not looking at DH until I was nearly at the end of the aisle. We had photos taken beforehand so it wasn't like I hadn't seen him until then, and for some reason I was more focussed on looking at everyone else that was there. So it was a shock for me to get down there and see him in tears - I really never expected that. (Although in retrospect it might have been a more difficult walk for me if I had looked at him, as I would have been a mess by the time I got down there too!)

Married my love on October 20, 2007;

I really wish I would have stuck to my guns and lost the weight I had planned to. I look at the pics now and how I felt on the day and all I think of is how FAT I was. lol I know I looked great, but I just wasnt confomrtable in my own skin and that effected how much I enjoyed all the pics being taken of me, etc.
