Wedding: If you had to do it again...

[msmerymac]

I had silver Jimmy Choos for my wedding. Totally worth it. I've worn them a lot since. I'm wearing them to another wedding next weekend. I figured I could buy cheap white/ivory satin shoes I'd never wear again, or I could go big.

I should dig my out of the box and get they dyed a fun color just for shits and giggles now. Can they dye dirty shoes covered in dancing foot sweat?

Ha! That I don't know, but its worth a shot. I've been able to wear the shoes again for other weddings, so its definitely been worth it for me.

Even if my feet do hate them.

The woman who worked at the bridal store helped me find a dress that had lace but was flattering to my figure. I'm pretty excited to plan another wedding if I get married again.

Definitely a less poofy and more elegant dress. I also would have taken immediate family only and done a destination wedding and skipped the giant party.

[curmudgeon]

I so badly wanted to wear my brown, high-heeled clogs, but my mom wouldn't have it. Fortunately, right after the ceremony the strap on one of the basic, satiny, white heels broke, so I got to wear my clogs the rest of the day

I want a sari so bad its ridic. Or a masquerade/renaissance. Or possibly something more LOTRish. . Flame away. I don't care. I just know I'd take that shit way less seriously.

I would look exactly like this. LOL

This is actually similar to the dress I wore when I got married in 2003. My dress had sleeves and a neckline that were made of the materials that's on her veil, though, not lace. And, I'm quite sure that mine cost several bajillion dollars less than hers. I would wear the same dress again if I got married today. I loved it so much that I never wanted to take it off.

I would watn a destination wedding. Very few guests and on the beach. Not sure what beach yet - probably HI somewhere though. It would be no stress and extremely casual.

I love this dress:

Are we talking about second weddings or going back in time and re-doing number one? Because for a second wedding, I'd wear something simple and tea length like this:


or


But if I were re-doing first wedding again, I might go big and princessy. I was torn between big and princessy or slim and elegant, and I went with the latter. But it would be fun to do the big ballgown too. Like:

It would look the same as it did then (but different hair and veil)

The dress was one of the few things that went right.

I wish I had gotten married when they had the shorter dress styles. That's what I would have done the 1st time.

It was hard enough bothering to get a white long dress for my first wedding that I don't see anything convincing me to even nod at traditional for a 2nd. I actually wore jeans to my wedding, technically, since we got married in a courthouse about 3 months before the wedding. We didn't even have to have a JOP or witnesses.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who looks at all of this and is even more determined never to do this again. Uggh.

I loved my dress. It was very simple and beautiful. If I was very thin all of the sudden, I might wear this:

I'm mostly serious. I'm trying to convince H that we need to get our vows renewed either by Elvis or as Trekkies.

ETA: Good lord that was huge. My bad!

You're not alone. Despite my <20 person barefoot wedding, I don't want to do that again. I can't imagine doing the huge white dress thing more than once.

Something more simple, like this.

I ordered this very dress (or something exactly like it) online for my wedding and found it to be made for women without boobs. I was very, very sad.

LOL!!!!!

Sorry, that doesn't happen. Maybe I had less stress than the average woman planning a wedding, but family will find a way to stress you out regardless how many guests you have or whether they're wearing shoes or not.

I love you. I'll paint myself green and be your matron of honor.

I would never ever ever want to plan another wedding. And I certainly dont have any plans on needing a new husband LOL

If I did ever do another wedding, it would be as casual and planning free as possible.
