Hi guys! I was just wondering if after your wedding you felt disappointed at all?
All the pictures people (including my photographer) took I look 20 lbs heavier in. Two out of 3 of my bridesmaids got so drunk they were out by 9. Including my sister! They made some off color comments at the reception about how my fiancé isn't good looking! In front of his whole family! Then passed out in front of everyone. They were both competing to see who could be the centre of attention.
The night ended early around 1:30 everyone went home. It was an amazing day and I married the love of my life but when I think about it, it still hurts.
If anyone else felt like this I would love to hear it.
Thanks ladies!
Re: Anyone else disappointed? I feel like I'm the only one!
Also, MIL tried to throw herself a pity party all night long. People did a good job of not letting me know til after the fact, and honestly, I'm unaffected. That's her problem, not mine.
Try not to let other people's actions get to you, it's just not worth the energy.

Yes, I felt disappointed after our wedding. But that was because I ended up with a crappy coordinator who stole our money, didn't give us what we paid for, we ended up with dead flowers, had to walk to our reception in the rain because the idiot carriage driver dropped us off at the wrong place, my dad refused to attend my wedding and lied about the reason why, I chipped a bone in one of my knees when I tripped on the hem of my dress and spend my honeymoon plus 3 months afterward barely being able to walk, Aunt Flo was in town for the wedding, the airbrush makeup artist I paid for decided to use regular makeup instead of airbrush - and she was an hour late, and I left more than half of my decorations at home (it was a destination wedding.) So yeah - we all have things about our weddings that depress us or make us upset. The key is to focus on the good and not the bad. Don't start your marriage off being a Bitter Betty. You married the love of your life and that's all that should matter. The rest is just fluff. If I can be happy after all the crap I went through (and the fact that I now have to pay a lawyer to sue my wedding coordinator) then I'm pretty sure you can be happy about 2 bad pics and 2 drunk bridesmaids. Chin up - it could have been much worse.
58 invited
20 can't make it
RSVP Deadline: March 8th
Also have to say as it was said by others, 1:30 is not early at all. We are planning for ours to officially end around 11 so we can be out of their by 12.
As for the drunken craziness, are these bridesmaids married? Are they jealous that you have a lovely husband after a lovely wedding? Most catty girl things are over jealousy! I hope all ladies think my FI is hideous, that's way better than them trying to get with him in a bathroom stall!!! (But they were probably just having jealousy issues!)
Congrats!!!
We haven't gotten pictures back yet but in the guests' shots I've been critical of my size so I feel you on that. But then I look at how happy I look and how happy everyone else looks. That's what matters. I can always lose weight and take fancy pictures but you can't re-do a wedding and the emotions with it.
Other than that our wedding day coordinator was crazy rude and just pissy all night and two of the tables were placed a little off but nothing that ruined our day. My mother sat at her table with a face the entire night but I wasn't expecting much different so that doesn't even bother me now.
After 6 years and 2 boys, finally tying the knot on October 27th, 2013!
I am in the same boat with, and I feel so guilty about feeling this way! You spend so many months planning and wanting everything to be perfect and then nothing goes as planned (seriously, A LOT of hiccups in our wedding) and the things that did go well, you don't get to enjoy
I've talked to my MOH and brother about it, and they both told me to focus on all the good things and not the things that went wrong... I'm trying to and it's helping a little bit but hopefully things will be better after everything settles down
Really disappointed. . .
I'm so sorry, that's awful
OP, it's all in the attitude. You probably had a beautiful day, but you are focusing on a few things (and I'm going to go out on a limb since I haven't seen your photos and say that you looked gorgeous, and it's all in your head that you didn't) that are putting a damper on it.
