    I haven't been to any weddings since we got engaged, but if I did - I think I probably would take mental notes!  :)

    FI and I did go to a wedding about 6 months before he proposed and now that I think about it, we did talk about in detail afterwards.

    Before I started wedding planning I never paid attention to most of the little details, I would just enjoy the moment. I only criticized the wedding if something major happened like the ceremony starting an hour late.

    Now I make mental notes, I wouldn't say criticize. And I would never tell other guests my thoughts if I felt something was tacky or bad etiquette. When FI and I went to his boss' wedding we talked about it on the drive home. We discussed what we would want and what we don't want.

    Side note: This wedding had a photo booth that no one used. I believe you have to know your guests. I hope the couple didn't spend a lot of money on it?

    I would say I am more aware now. I went to a wedding this weekend at the Renault Winery in NJ . FI and I had a BALL, they played single ladies for the bouquet toss, it didn't bother me, they had escort cards and a simple bird cage for the cards right on the same table. I did think to myself  "aren't they scared someone might take their cards..." During cocktail hour there was TONS of delicious food and open bar (beer, wine and signature drinks only) they also had something called blueberry champagne OMG! They had their first dances as soon as they walked into the reception before we ate so we were all standing, that was fine because they did not play the whole songs so it was nice. But for my wedding I want the whole song played for my first dance so we are dancing while everyone is eating and is sitting down...

    I take note but I don't critique if that makes any sense.  I realize that a wedding is personal and just because it doesn't suit  my style doesn't make it something worth putting under a microscope.   However, if there is something that is plain whacked, then yeah, I will give that a major fail just because.  LOL!



    Love is the ultimate superpower.   
    It can make you weak and strong simultaneously.

    Like the ladies, I took mental notes at the 4 weddings I went to. If things went wrong, I thought about what I could do to prevent this or that from happening. I still kept in mind that things will happen at my wedding that I can't control.

    I have to admit I do after being engaged before I thought all weddings we nice. Now I kind of know the difference in what's nice, tacky, and down right wrong.
