I got married on 9/18/10. I had the best time at our wedding, but there were a few bumps in the road. First off, I literally had like 12 people not show that said they would which really bothered me. How can you RSVP to something where you know it's not cheap for the bride's parents and then just not show? I had a hard time with this and obviously am still peeved about it. Anyone ever gone through this before. I just felt it so disrespectful not only to me but to my parents footing the bill!
Another thing that I still think about is our DJ. Originally we were supposed to get a band, but changed to a DJ at the last minute for budget and personal preference purposes. We had heard DJ"s were just as good, more budget friendly and could play everything we wanted. The band we originially booked couldn't play everything we wanted.
The ceremony and cocktail hour went so well and everything was beautiful. Even the first hour of the wedding ceremony was nice as everyone sat down to eat and we had our first dances and toasts. But after that the party was just lame---the DJ was some dorky guy with a computer that didn't get the crowd going. I was really surprised b/c we had gotten them from a reputable vendor in the area we got married. I literally had to give him a sign to let him know, lets get this going!!
Overall, we had people dancing and it was fun, but I feel compared to other weddings, my entertainment was kind of lame.
I went to a wedding last night where the enterainment was so much fun and everyone was out on the floor dancing without encouragement from me!! After that wedding, my feelings were confirmed that my entertainment wasn't that great. There were more people on the veranda area having a great time outside by the pool smoking cigars and drinking instead of inside where the "entertainment" was. (Kind of embarassing, and maybe I'm overanalyzing, but I feel my bridesmaids felt the same way and felt bad for me).
I also didn't end up throwing my bouquet. Unfortunately most of the ladies I thought would stay that are single left---there were like 3 single girls left when it was time to go and it was a little embarassing so we didn't do a bouquet toss. I think about it now and there were actually more single ladies, but in the rush of everything and the car arriving just as I was asked to throw the bouquet, I didn't.
How can I get over this? I know it's so lame b/c I got married and am loving married life, and overall I LOVED my wedding, but I can't stop thinking about it! Any ideas or stories of things you felt didn't go well but got over it would be greatly appreciated!
