Re: With all this wedding related talk........
I don't think my wedding "extras" were a waste... it was what made my wedding even more special for Dh and , our family and guests-

only regrets I have are a DIRECT result from being on LIW and seeing OTHER people's choices...
But they last for a minute and then I realize there are other things in life to care about...
I loved my wedding, but more importantly I love that I married that man...
I feel the same way in some aspects. I probably wouldn't have had all the extras b/c I wouldn't have known about them but from that site, and I took advice from MANY brides on a florist and they were horrible in the end. I never let it get my down I was hysterical crying for all but 2 mins and then let it go. We didn't have boq for more then half of the pics at the hall, but it was it is.
But Everything else was amazing, it was by far the best day of my life, and every penny was well worth it.
Although I think its crazy that anything wedding related is 2x the prices

Re: With all this wedding related talk........
I regret wasting money on the limo... which literrally drove me 3 miles from my parents to the hall. I was pressured by my mom into that one though.
Other than that, I was very happy with what we spent. Like another poster said, we stayed in budget and have zero debt from the wedding. All the gifts we got are sitting in a CD right now waiting to used as a downpayment on a house

Re: With all this wedding related talk........
I have regrets.
I wouldn't have gotten such an expensive wedding dress. I got caught up in the moment. I think that's my biggest regret b/c I'll never wear it again. (Sorry mom! $$) 
I also wouldn't do it over again. From the get-go, my DH and I wanted a small wedding, immediate family only. But then our parents insisted so-and-so had to be invited.
My parents helped pay for most of the wedding, we paid for the extras. Without their help, it wouldn't have been possible at all. They were huge contributors for the wedding being as nice as it was. 
I hope everyone enjoyed it, because it was really for them....For our family and friends see us get married, to witness our two separate lives become one.

Re: With all this wedding related talk........
I don't regret anything at all about the wedding day or money spent... when I look back at those pics they make me so happy.
The only thing I do regret is that I took on a lot of projects and between the wedding and working and all the other things I put on my plate I actually wound up stressing myself out and not enjoying the planning process. I sometimes hated it.... I look back now and wish I wasn't so bitter and stressed at the time... it was one of the happiest times in my life and I spent a great deal of time being aggitated by it

I don't regret what I spent but I wish I hired a DOC b/c I was stressed out
Same here.
I don't regret what I spent at all. I was cost conscious during the planning and I feel I put the money in all the right places.

Re: With all this wedding related talk........
I would do it all over again! I loved my wedding. I had so much fun and my guests had a blast. The only thing I regret is not getting floral centerpieces. I had candleabra's which looked nice but I would still change it looking back.

Re: With all this wedding related talk........
I would have had a smaller wedding. I only would have had my sister in my wedding party. 4 of my BM were mad at my MOH, very babyish and high schoolish IMO.
The day is like a blur to me. Everyone tells me it was a wonderful, beautiful , wedding. I wish I remembered more from it. It was very hard on me planning my wedding without my parents- they passed away before my wedding, so a lot of stuff was on me and Dh the day of the wedding.

Re: With all this wedding related talk........
I'm torn...
I LOVED our wedding. It was everything I wanted it be and more! But we did over extend ourselves and are now paying for it.
After a year and a half of marriage I STILL don't have albums or enlargements or a video.
So did we have an amazing wedding? Yes.
Was it worth it? I guess.
Would I go that route again? If I knew then what I know now? No. But hind sight is ALWAYS 20/20.
ETA: I think it's VERY easy to say "Oh I wouldn't waste my money on that" AFTER you already had that. But when you're going through it, you want everything. So I DO think it's unfair for people to say that. Especially if they did get all the bells and whistles for their wedding.

My feelings EXACTLY. My nagging regrets are over my stupid hair and dress....and that I didn't sing. I personally didn't want to but once DH said he was disappointed, that killed me.
But otherwise- I echo "namechange"'s sentiment.

Re: With all this wedding related talk........
I regret not spending $$$ on my cake. I hated it the second I saw it and now 4 years later and I still hate it. I'll hate it to the day I die.
Otherwise, I don't regret anything. If I had to do it over again I'd do some things differently but they're things that only I would notice.

Re: With all this wedding related talk........
I don't really have any regrets as my wedding was everything I wanted. But looking back now there would be a few things I'd change or make sure of....
First, although I loved my photographer he missed alot of key pictures that I specifically wanted and specified so I would probably have a different photographer.
I would double check on my cake with the hall before the weeding because I was supposed to have chocolate cake & it was yellow.
I would make sure to have at least 2 large umbrellas since it rained that day and we had to go between 2 buildings and noone had any and the hall didnt either.

Re: With all this wedding related talk........
i have no regrets, but then again i was on a very small budget and spent money only on things that were absolutely necessary, so i don't have regrets.
If i spent tons of money on flowers or other non-essentials (to me) than i would have thought it was a "waste." my wedding was a year and a half ago and the only memories i have left are my dress, the photos and the video. i am so glad that i didn't spend $200 on a centerpiece or what have you. it's a day long party...that's it!
