After reading saracks title of post "first regrets" I thought it meant she was regretting something, but once I opened the post & read on I found it was about something else.
So I wanted to post what I "thought" it meant....
Is there anything that you regret doing? making DIY? booking? etc...
I am crossing my fingers I wont regret our photographer. Some of you know who we booked (to save money) and it was just not the wises choice. I thought since they had a booth at a wedding show it meant they were going to be wonderful.... well we've had a few issues, I addressed them and she stepped to the plate to fix them!! Which was VERY good of her. We will see how the wedding goes.
Re: Any regrets so far? (not rsvp declines)
Oh well, its mostly done, I'm good with it. I just wish it'd hurry up and get here, but not before I lose some weight! Oh, that's my biggest regret! Not getting my butt in shape sooner. That's major.

My brother is recording ours. It's something he enjoys and then he goes and fiddles with it in some computer program to do titling, etc. He didn't want to be in the wedding, he said he preferred that.
I also regret not being able to get in shape. I managed to lose 20 pounds and keep off about 16-17, but I'm noticing how super-jiggly my upper arms have become. However since my stupid unknown injury, I can't DO exercises to take care of it since I can't be strenuous.
I also REALLY regret not doing my pomanders 2 months ago like I had originally planned. We thought we were buying a house and I figured they would get really mushed in the move and I'd have more space in the house than our apartment so I'd make them after the move. Well, we didn't buy the house and aren't moving and now I'm crunched on time to make them.
I still partially regret choosing one of my BMs as a BM. I'm hoping she'll keep to her word and no extra drama will come, but the added stress so far isn't worth it.
I regret ordering the original BM dresses in Thailand when I did. I also regret going with the first set of favors I went with rather than just choosing ones they already had done so I at least knew what I was getting.

Wedding Planning Bio - Updated 6/13/2010
2. inviting too many people.
3. not eloping
4. not getting married where i want.
5. booking vendors before investigating more
6. not keeping it the small and intimate wedding i wanted.
7. picking bridal party too early
8. i wish one of my wedding colors was pink... fi didn't want that
2. Wishing that my mom will come around and be more involved earlier on in the planning process.
3. I wish we did not have to have our wedding on a Friday
In the end, I won't say I "regret" anything but I would rather have had a few things differently;)
My Bio
2. getting married sooner, its been almost 10.5 years now (relates to 1, the older i get the harder it seems to lose weight)
3. not going to filene's bridal sale or equivalent... that would have been major fun. but short-ish engagement/wrongside of country/not sample size body prevents this
4. debating whether i am going to regret NOT having a professional photog.
We are having a family friend with an awesome camera be in charge of taking pix, but i dunno if this is something i am going to regret.
i could probably go on, but this is good for now. Nothing to major, mostly doubts.
I wish i had ordered my dress from Pearls & Lace instead of being pressured by my mom to order it at the shop that we were at. i would've had much better customer service, it would be closer to where we live, and i really wish i would've given them the sale.
One thing I definitely do NOT regret is ordering our invitations. Hearing all these stories from everyone on how much of a PITA these things are, makes me really happy that my mom convinced me to not DIY, and instead ordered them. Plus, Fi loves the embossed (or whatever its called, the raised up) writing... it makes it feel fancy.
well now the wedding is on Saturday so it's a little late
