Regrets?

I was talking to another knottie on a different board. She mentioned how she was jealous over a certain aspect and I realized I was regretting some of my overall decisions. Did anybody else encounter this during the planning process? Or is this part of the "it's so close" blues?

    My first impulse is that it is because it is so close, but it's hard to say, not knowing what the actual issue is. 
    Holy Crap. We survived the first year!

    As of this moment, I don't have any regrets. Ask me in 3 months when I'm two weeks out and my answer may change :)

    No and no.  I did enjoy planning it, but I'm glad that it's done.  What are you regretting?

    When you get close, you start focusing on all the things you don't have rather than remembering how stoked you are about the thing you do have.It's like...a downtime period where you have everything booked and now it's like a sit and wait game.But your wedding day will be great and wonderful. I'm a big believer in instincts. The direction you went is the direction you wanted to go.Be confident in that.

    The last week I've been really worrying about some of the things I picked, and kicking myself because I had 2 years to plan. Why did I lock in my choices so soon and then not even consider alternatives afterwards?  Now it's too late...

    For a long time, we really regretted having such expensive taste and choosing a really high end venue. Mainly because FMIL keeps hassling us about it even though she didn't speak up when we first booked it.

    Maybe I'm just being silly. I'm regretting the stupid stuff like paper (STDs, invites, photosharing cards). I feel like everything we have planned is more traditional than not. And we were going for a non-traditional feel. For example, why didn't we get those cute skull and crossbones invites again? (Flame all you want, they're cute, damnit!)

    I am still far enough out that no decisions I've made are really final other than vendors, but I am super indecisive and keep changing my mind about a lot of the details, so I wouldn't be surprised if I end up having regrets or questioning my final decisions when I get to that point.  I think you just have to remember that at the end of the day it doesn't really matter what kinds of flowers or color scheme you have, you'll still get to be married to the person you love.

    At the moment, nothing really.  Ask me again in a year when it turns out to be just me and FI going when everyone else says they can't.

    Oh but I should add, getting closer to the wedding (only 2-1/2 weeks to go!), we started letting go of any regrets and just looking forward to everything.We had our final venue meeting today and were reminded why we chose this place. We absolutely love it. I guess it's a little bit like having cold feet on the dress, but once you try it on again you'll remember why you bought it.

    It's paper, Kel. People get it, and throw it away. Trust me. People will get your theme and they will think it's non traditional.Think of all the things you are doing that ARENT traditional. There's lots.

    Oh, I do have one big regret that irks me: asking my BP too early.  I still love them all but if I could do it over again I would cut the list down.  Having 8 just seems ridiculous to me now.

    Oh honey, those things are so not worth fretting over.The 'feel' of the wedding will be dictated by you guys, not the details.

    when it's all said and done: no regrets. Before the wedding I was stressed about it all - and convinced what we didn't have would be a huge deal. In the end - what we had was perfect.

    fische - At one point last August, before we had picked a date, I tried to convince FI I could pull it together for the Christmas holiday. He just laughed at me. I insisted and he totally shot it down. :(

    I definitely felt that way for a couple months before the wedding.  I was convinced that my wedding would be sparse, bare, and ugly because I didn't have the oodles of perfect details that TK shows you in all their pretty pictures.  In reality, many people won't be expecting things like we see on TK all the time and they'll really appreciate the details you do have.  And you have great details!  Your guest book idea alone is makes me green with envy. Don't stress about it!  It will come out beautifully.

    H and I talked about this the day after our wedding. We wouldn't change a single thing except we would have left more time for photos. In an effort not to have 'the gap', we only had 1 hr for photos and it felt really rushed and we didn't have time to go to a location we really wanted.If I could go back, I would have bumped up the ceremony from 6 to 5:30 and made cocktail 'hour' an hour and a half. I really don't think our guests would have minded or noticed, since weddings in our area usually have 2 or 3 hour gaps.

    Side note: I feel like I just was just slapped across the face by P&E. "Wake up, scoetto!" It's a good feeling!

    If you're having regrets about you're engagement ring, I could take it off your hands. Just saying.

    Haha! No regrets there, bel. That is, if you're talking to me. And thanks, Jesse'sGirl. I was envious of your wedding. Will Jesse rent that trolley for us? I mean, it could be a wedding present :P

    The trolley was awesome-- and awesomely cheap.  To charter it up to our area, however, might be a tab difficult... :)

    I regret not bringing my coat down.  Now I'm drinking and cold.As for the wedding, the paper stuff is really so pointless.  It's going to kick a$$ b/c you and H will make it so and no stationary will do that for you.
