In just three weeks, Joshua and I will celebrate our second anniversary as Husband and Wife.  Two whole wonderful, incredibly blessed years.  We have so much to be thankful for in these last 23, 24 months.  I can’t wait to see what is next to come.

As I look back and think about our wedding day, I can do nothing but smile.  The day was absolutely perfect and very little went wrong.  I tell people that when it comes to my wedding day, there is nothing I would do different and I have zero regrets.  It’s taken me two whole years to come up with minor details that I would change.  And hopefully these minor changes can prevent Brides from repeating.

I will say, my list of wedding regrets are very small, and nothing serious.  I had a dream wedding, and dream list of vendors.  So here we are, the couple things that I would do different.

• I should have ordered a wedding album from Kaitlin.  I thought I would take the time to make my own especially since I have access to a professional lab.  But you know what, two years later, and I still haven’t taken the time.  It’s a matter of just sitting down and picking out my favorite 100 photos.  It’s never gotten done because no one is holding me accountable.  No one is emailing asking if I have those photos picked out yet.  So number one regret, not adding an album to my collection with Kaitlin.
  
• Not having my mom help me in my dress.  My mom and grandma did the food for our wedding (yes, we didn’t hire a caterer, and NO we don’t have any nightmare stories to tell.  It was an EXCELLENT decision, and i’m thankful for both of them!), but since Mom was worried about getting the pork started, she was elbows deep mixing the pork instead of helping me in my gown.  My maid of honor helped, and i’ll always cherish those photos, but I also wanted my mom in the room.  She did walk me down the aisle though…well…sobbed down the aisle…
  
• I would have kept my family formal shot list much smaller.  Because I wanted photos with EVERYONE, literally, every.one. things got very chaotic.  At one point, Josh and I were in seperate locations and I missed out on a very important family photo without my Husband.  I still look at that photo in my livingroom with a missing Husband and my heart aches.  I have no one to blame but myself.  I should have listened to Kaitlin when she said TEN poses, not 50…
  
• I would have actually enjoyed my dessert.  The only piece of dessert I got was what Joshua smashed in my face.  That, by the way, he promised he wasn’t going to do.  Until one of my Uncles told him too……
  

I’m sitting here typing this blog post, and I’m struggling to think of more than four regrets from my wedding day.  FOUR!  That’s it!  That’s all that I would redo from my wedding day.  I had the perfect venue, with the perfect vendors for my wedding day.  And of course, I married the best man for me.  I know i’m lucky, because there are so many other brides out there who would completely redo their wedding if they had a chance.  And here I am, trying to come up with things that I would do differently and I CAN’T come up with more than FOUR things!  It helped that for three years prior, I saw what worked and what didn’t work for weddings, and made sure the big mistakes didn’t happen.
