UGH!<br />#2 Yup, people laughed at me for doing things way 'too early' but the last weeks (and even months) before the big day were stress free and more relaxing than anyone expected I would be!<br />#3 We had one vendor (cake) that kept telling us that they thought we should go with buttercream when we insited on fondant (a good tasting one). Then they wanted to charge us $1,000 extra for the cake we wanted. We ended up saying "No thanks" and going with a family friend instead.<br />#4 Mr Fix It had a calendar on his fridge a good 6 months before the wedding with his to-do list. Though he didn't stick to the timeline, it did let him know what he needed to handle. And though some of it didn't get done as quickly as I would have liked, it did eventually get handled without too much stress.<br /># 5 I ate a little bit throughout the day - morning til evening I was snacking. I had a little bit of appetizers but wish I had more. And then with all the guests coming up to us at dinner I barely got to eat dinner and what I did eat ended up being cold by the time I got to it! UGH!<br /># 6 Our wedding was Friday night and our plane left at 11 pm on Saturday night. We had all the shopping part done and had started packing but did finish up the last minute part and stuff around the house in the 3 hours between when we said goodbye to family Saturday afternoon and when we had to leave Saturday night. <br /># 7 GREAT POINT! I wish I had done this. I did have a cousin/bridesmaid who got photos of some of the details and such for me...but wish I would have assigned this to someone. Though I made it clear to my photog that I wanted lots of detail shots, I don't know if he got them ALL! We'll see this week when I get the pictures...I would also suggest having a friend not involved in the wedding follow you and/or the groom and guys around with a video camera the entire day. We did this at my sister's wedding and got some of our fave shots of the day that the videographer wasn't around for.<br /># 8 A MUST in my opinion...First looks are totally the way to go...NOTHING takes away from the emotion of the walk down the aisle. It's just *different*<br /># 9 Again, so important. My sister was worried about my nephew not being 'awake' enough for pics and throwing tantrums because his nap time was right when we were doing our family photos. She had her hubby bring him like an hour later so he could at least get 'some' sleep and he ended up not being in any of the photos with me and my hubby or the family. So disappointed! I would have preferred to have him screaming in photos with us than none at all :(<br /># 10 So true!<br /><br />What a great post...thanks for sharing!Born to be Mrs. Beeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186370322714278012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843767852683728626.post-38903559255523103812010-05-23T08:18:42.162-07:002010-05-23T08:18:42.162-07:00#3 is especially appreciated!
