It just makes it shows that despite all the planning not everything goes smoothly, which sucks.<br /><br />Ultimately I think the wedding is about the couple and no one else should try to make it about themselves. That's why they get invited, or get paid to do their job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843767852683728626.post-88195655672002091572010-08-23T09:52:53.006-07:002010-08-23T09:52:53.006-07:00I am finally catching up on your posts. And oh ma...I am finally catching up on your posts. And oh man can I relate to this one. No matter what happens, crap will go wrong at your wedding. It's so frustrating, but just needs to be expected.<br /><br />Here are my "I can so relate" comments to your items:<br /><br />1) I totally felt like crap the morning of my wedding day...but not due to alcohol intake...just because of nerves maybe?<br />4) I also had WP members who didn't 'get it' when it came to taking photos.<br />5) We didn't get all the formals I wanted either...but totally my photog's fault!!!<br />7) I also had some WP members who looked silly walking down the aisle because they didn't smile...only I think it was just maybe 1 or 2.<br />11) Our cake tasted amazing but was so 'wrong' as well. :) I haven't been able to do a recap post of it yet...maybe this week.<br />13) WTF? How does a family member leave due to the SO's uncomfortableness with religious issues? So messed up!<br /><br />And yes, the photojournalistic style shots of pics taken when no one notices are almost always the best! Glad you shared all of this and am right here to hopefully lift you up as you vent about it all!Born to be Mrs. Beeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186370322714278012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843767852683728626.post-12526756901462334292010-08-19T16:24:45.742-07:002010-08-19T16:24:45.742-07:00Yes yes yes yes yes.

It's good that we can be excited about marriage but look back clearly and see what we wish was different... I think if everything went perfect it would be unrealistic. I agree with what Hannah said!!kjpugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05659414215476739292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843767852683728626.post-13292310880146039072010-08-19T16:10:20.392-07:002010-08-19T16:10:20.392-07:00Hi Emily, it's funny to me that this is the fi...Hi Emily, it's funny to me that this is the first time I'm commenting after reading your blog for months. My fiance and I are planning our Cleveland wedding from DC, and the reception will be at Windows. That's how I first stumbled on your blog. I can't tell you how wonderful it's been to read about your planning and experience. As the stress level gets turned up for us during the last couple months before the big day, this post was comforting. Stuff happens. A good reminder. Cheers to you and your husband!Renita Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07351067062710721848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843767852683728626.post-86666154922720181032010-08-19T14:27:32.452-07:002010-08-19T14:27:32.452-07:00Well, you know how I feel about this situation ;) ...Well, you know how I feel about this situation ;) seeing as I just wrote about it too. It does make me feel better to know that I'm not alone with the less than happy feelings that surfaced post-wedding. But, like we both said: the day was awesome, and the memories are great. Everything can't be perfect though...darn it!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01971232144056105034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843767852683728626.post-86019485364731844132010-08-19T11:26:58.797-07:002010-08-19T11:26:58.797-07:00I can totally relate to this and plan on writing s...I can totally relate to this and plan on writing something similar soon. As much as I loved our wedding day (which was the same date as yours!) there are definitely things I'm disappointed about. I try not to focus on them but as the wedding day glow wears off more and more I'm finding myself more and more irritated about these things. Glad I'm not alone!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04356655617475615318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843767852683728626.post-63322664296208163742010-08-19T10:14:24.410-07:002010-08-19T10:14:24.410-07:00I have been reading several posts similar to this,...I have been reading several posts similar to this, and as a bride-to-be still, I think it will prove to be extremely helpful. Nothing can go 100% perfect and it's good to realize that, whether it before or after the wedding.

It's important for me to remember to check my perfectionist expectations at the door and remember that things will go wrong, so thank you for helping me to do that.<br /><br />That being said, I agree with everyone who said it must feel cathartic for you to write this down! Let it out, girl. We are here to support you and we all know that you loved your wedding, so if you need to talk about some stuff, please do--we wont' hold it against you.<br /><br />You know my email if you ever need to vent!

These posts are really helpful to brides to be because I think it helps keep our expectations in check. This is about being married, a marriage... and sometimes things go wrong.

It's how you deal with them that matter. And that you are married. And happy.

As for me, I'm getting married in less than 2 months and it's good to read posts like these and realize that weddings rarely go 100% perfectly. I'm glad you are happy with your wedding overall and hope that if things go wrong at mine, I'm able to look back and feel good about it. <br /><br />Looking forward to your recaps!GMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416137629786778346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843767852683728626.post-91249443412275748182010-08-19T09:38:23.590-07:002010-08-19T09:38:23.590-07:00I like your honesty.
