July 2012 Weddings

I almost left my own wedding!!!!!

So my wedding day was really bumpy which wouldn't have bothered me. Having my sis knock my head band off my head and messing my hair before I even get in my dress!!! My wedding dress after being steamed it was too long and missing a button on panel. We had to take off the dress and put it back on 3 times before we got it right.

We did our fist photo shoot in a back alley which was my idea. But the BM kept going "oh no my shoes." and I was a Lil annoyed but fine. But I ruined my loubintins!!!!!

Second shoot was a park with all our family. That's was hell. My mom wanted to be in every photo. Pushing me to do poses I hated. Telling my poor photographer what to do. Basically just being selfish. I felt bad for DH's family they didn't get nearly as many photos. But there was 6 compared to my 20 ppl in my family.

The ceremony was beautiful and perfect in my eyes. Post ceremony at the church once again my mom wanted to be in all my photos and saying I need to do more family photos. I didn't get photos with my friends that I wanted. Or shoots of my sibling individually. Mom not letting be myself on my wedding day.

Reception was starting late but whatever. I got my sibling shots there. Dj messed up the bridal party entrance song, fine. I walked out to the right song!!! Did the first dance and cake cutting fine. But was missing the fog I rented for the first dance.

Then all hell breaks loose. Tea ceremony!!! My uncle from out of town decided that he will tell me that my estrange father went to the park to see me on my wedding day!!!!!! My father was not invited and I still stand by that. I couldn't hold back all my tears. That was only in the beginning of my tea ceremony. DH thought I was just emotional about the ceremony but don't know what they were talking about. I told him right when we sat down. Crying in his arms. Having my coordinator come and rescue me to the bathroom. My coworkers came to see how I was not my own family that ruined my day. If it wasnt for my coordinator telling me " to man the f up" I would have left my own wedding. DH had to tell our guest to not talk about the tea ceremony. DH and I didn't have dinner or anything to eat the whole day trying to fit everything into our day.

Lucky I stayed couldn't find my purse the dancing started 30 mins before it should. We had to stop the party for speeches and bouquet toss and garter toss. Ppl went wild when they saw our video at the reception.

I'm glad I stayed but was very hurt from all of it. My mom thinks she's in the right and was upset DH and I didn't call her for a few days after the wedding. How did she expect me to call crying my eyes out. Sorry I just need to vent about it.

Re: I almost left my own wedding!!!!!

  • I'm sorry you had a hard time at your wedding and I'm really glad you didn't leave. I think you would've regretted that for the rest of your life. Try focusing on the good things like how everyone loved your video. Just remember that you are married to your husband and really in the grand scheme of things that's all that really matters. I had a bazillion things go wrong at our wedding but I vent about it and then let it go. Hopefully in 10 or 20 years you'll be able to look back and laugh at some of the stuff. Maybe you won't be able to laugh at ruining your Louboutins but that's because it's an assault on mankind Tongue out

  • Omg! I know how you feel. I cried at my wedding too. But I will make a new thread. Please concentrate on the good and ignore the bad. The ceremony is the most important part.
  • My mom was a diva, too! I actually started calling her momzilla to my friends at the RD (but she didn't hear, thankfully). Luckily she was well behaved at the wedding, but the entire week leading up to it she was seriously pushing my buttons and made me cry several times, and I'm usually very laid back about things.

    Anyway, as PPs said, try to concentrate on the good parts and let the bad parts go. And you are married to the love of your life, so focus on your new life together, which I'm sure will be wonderful :)
