What year were you married? 2008 Was your wedding day stressful at all?Yeah, not too bad, but I did most of the decor myself and I didn't have a wedding coordinator If you could change anything about the experience, what would it be?Hmm...that's tough. I got a bridezilla when DH was in a place I didn't think he was going to be. I didn't want him to see me. It was silly I got upset about it and I think the pastor heard me curse. Soooo embarrassing! Favorite Part of the day?The first kiss, when I was just so happy and planted a huge kiss on him. Also, at the end of the night when we got in the limo and took my shoes off and enjoyed an wonderful glass of Veuve Cliquot.

What year were you married?2006 Was your wedding day stressful at all? Not really If you could change anything about the experience, what would it be? 1) One of my close friends couldn't make it because her SIL died the week before, it was sad timing. Favorite Part of the day? Can't pick a favorite part, the whole experience was wonderful--from sharing a room the night before with my grandmother and hearing some of her stories to hanging out with friends and cousins after the reception was over
Was your wedding day stressful at all? Nope, but the weekend was. I was pretty laid back about it all, but my dad is a pastor and his best friend was doing the wedding. The rehearsal was a nightmare, my dad directing, making best friend nervous. Ugh, terrible. lol, side note, he forgot to do the ring portion of the ceremy.. LOL.
If you could change anything about the experience, what would it be? I would have liked to do a more intimate wedding, we have big families though so it was probably unrealistic. I wasn't really into the whole wedding day planning. I just wanted to show up.
Favorite Part of the day? The dance or seeing each other for the first time that day.

What year were you married? 2008 Was your wedding day stressful at all? Not too much If you could change anything about the experience, what would it be? To get some of the pictures I wanted but missed getting because my anxiety kicked in Favorite Part of the day? Seeing DH as I was walking down the aisle with a little tear in his eyes, it was like it was just us.
Was your wedding day stressful at all? Surprisingly no.
If you could change anything about the experience, what would it be? I'd have had a professional DJ. We used my iPod & it was way more of a PITA than I anticipated.
Favorite Part of the day? The weather. It was just a perfect day. Gorgeous blue sky. Sunny & in the upper 70s.

What year were you married? 2007
Was your wedding day stressful at all? A little. One of the groomsmen was about an hour late and wore a blue shirt, and my MoH was extremely rude about some things (didn't like the flowers, didn't like her nails...), but other than that, great day!
If you could change anything about the experience, what would it be? Have my other good friend in the wedding be the MoH.
Favorite Part of the day? The music and venue! The venue (where EA Poe is buried) has this enormous pipe organ that we had a pianist play Phantom of the Opera on. I walked down to Music of the Night. And then visiting with everyone after the ceremony.

What year were you married? 2009 Was your wedding day stressful at all? No. If you could change anything about the experience, what would it be? There were a few people we were friendly with but not friendly enough to invite to the wedding but we are much closer now and looking back I wish we had invited them. Favorite Part of the day? Really don't just have one favorite part - it was awesome.
Don't know how to attach multiple photos to a post. Sorry...
What year were you married? 2006 Was your wedding day stressful at all? No, not really. I was surprisingly relaxed (for me). If you could change anything about the experience, what would it be? Different shoes. I hated them from a comfort and looks standpoint. No one could see them, but I would have liked really fabulous shoes. Favorite Part of the day?When the priest pronounced us husband and wife.

What year were you married? 2008 Was your wedding day stressful at all? Not really, although there was a mix up with the place cards, everyone confused my 8's and 6's If you could change anything about the experience, what would it be? I probably would have waited a bit longer to get married. I was young, and my tastes have changed quite a bit, but in the end the result is the same. Favorite Part of the day? I really loved my ceremony. It was in the church I grew up going to, and even though my DH and I are not religious the pastor made it so special for us.

Married 2011, I didn't sleep the night before, but the next day I spent in an almost eery calm. I think I was to busy getting everything ready to worry! I would not change anything. I know my favorite part of the day is supposed to be the ceremony, but TBH, it was dancing my ass off having a great time with all the people I love and care about!
Was your wedding day stressful at all? It was. We moved up our wedding date by 4 months and were married the Monday after we found out FIL was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Prognosis was extremely poor but he was headed to the Mayo Clinic for a last ditch effort at a treatment option. We didn't know if he would make it to our planned wedding date in April. It's lucky we did marry when we did because he died two weeks before our original wedding date.
If you could change anything about the experience, what would it be? I would have pushed to elope a few months earlier.
Favorite Part of the day? That for a wedding planned in 24 hours, we had more than 100 people show up. Family and friends flew in last minute to be at this wedding. It was amazing!
I love seeing everyone's photos; you all had beautiful weddings!
-2011, anniversary just passed. -Nope! However, I was stressed the night before when we had 30 people at our house for dinner. -I danced the whole night, but with a small group of people. I should have done more mingling and less dancing.
I don't have a good picture of our menu but we were married at a local brewery. We were engaged during a San Diego trip to explore the beer highway so it seemed very fitting for us.
Was your wedding day stressful at all? I was stressing about the weather to some extent (we had an outdoor ceremony), but once I got down the awhile everything was alright.
If you could change anything about the experience, what would it be? I honestly don't know if I'd change anything. It truly was a wonderful day.
Favorite Part of the day? Walking down the aisle and seeing MH for the first time.
If you could change anything about the experience, what would it be? I think we would change the location. We were married at a local country club. Anyone who knows me knows I'm obsessed with my town, I wish I had done something more vegas-y, like had it on the strip.
Favorite Part of the day? Hanging out with my friends getting ready and the first dance.
What year were you married? January 2003 Was your wedding day stressful at all? No If you could change anything about the experience, what would it be? I wish I had been able to stay up for the after party which went on until about 3am...I turned in at around 1am with a killer headache Favorite Part of the day? Taking pictures before the ceremony
Was your wedding day stressful at all? For awhile, like when we found out that the marriage license was nowhere to e found, and they werent really supposed to do the ceremony without it (it was supposed to start in 30 minutes). Also, H forgot the ipod that we were supposed to use.
If you could change anything about the experience, what would it be? I dont think Id change anything.
Favorite Part of the day? Seeing H's face as I walked down the aisle
