Sometimes, I have such anxiety attacks about it, that I almost DON'T want to get married, just so I can avoid all the stress.Simply Valoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16750464898156390331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529701964794268154.post-54045438708450736662010-03-18T13:38:21.565-07:002010-03-18T13:38:21.565-07:00Yeah my wedding day wasn't the best day either...Yeah my wedding day wasn't the best day either. I had to replace a bridesmaid dress, the photographer was new in the business and took FOREVER wanting everything to be PERFECT. I had to invite two people whom I wish I had not. It was a courtesy thing.<br /><br />I probably always wanted to be bigger and older since I am the baby of the family, and my BFF is a year older than me.<br /><br />27? Awww you are a youngster.

I loved it, but it went by so fast it's hard to remember the specifics. I love reading your blog. You are such a fun, open person. It's great getting to know you through your writing!Organic Motherhood with Cool Whiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09305464822153790948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529701964794268154.post-66742719486013494882010-03-18T09:22:43.033-07:002010-03-18T09:22:43.033-07:00Aging- your wedding sounds LOVELY!

DH and I have actually talked about it! Maybe I will someday. Lilly is on board about it! LOL!) <br /><br />Serene- My photog was my father in law. He was late for everything, bragged about how wonderful he was at it, and I got crappy pictures that looked like snapshots, not professional photographs. Nothing frameable. Thanks to my good friend Shallyse, and my SIL, steph, we did some pictures AFTER my wedding that turned out pretty. But still- I regret not hiring a real one.Windthicket Fableshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09820803765909133728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529701964794268154.post-88764398251272463432010-03-18T07:47:02.999-07:002010-03-18T07:47:02.999-07:00I didn't like my dress, or my hair, or anythin...I didn't like my dress, or my hair, or anything about the way I looked on my wedding day.<br />And I HATED our photographer. But he was a family friend so I wasn't allowed to say no to him offering to snap some shots. There is a reason we don't have wedding pictures hanging up anywhere.<br /><br />There are many days I would change, but not sure which one I'd want to relive.<br />I loved my youth, I really did! But I DID want to be older. All my friends were four years older then me and it was frustrating not being able to do the same things they were. Then they all left for college and missions, leaving me to play with kids my own age.<br /><br />I was sad.<br /><br />And I'm 5'7". Growing up I wished I was shorter. I didn't like being "tall". Now I've just accepted I can't do anything about it and will slip on my 5'' heels whenever I darn well please! Good thing my husband's 6'1"!Serene is my name, not my life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02181359150279923307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529701964794268154.post-12048749102900359602010-03-18T07:41:40.021-07:002010-03-18T07:41:40.021-07:00Weddings are very stressful.

So we came over to visit them and decided we'd get married in the Fort Lauderdale County Courthouse, which is where they married in a hurry when they arrived in Florida (he is American and she is German). So they had no friends and family with them that day and no honeymoon. We never wanted a big fuss of a wedding so decided to just head off on vacation, not tell anyone except our Florida friends what we were doing, and come home married. We got married in our shorts, with our friends in attendance (who both cried) then headed off with them on a Honeymoon cruise. Not only did we enjoy it but so did they and they finally got to take a Honeymoon too. My MIL has still not forgiven us for a) running off to get married and b) getting married in our shorts....<br /><br />As for days of my life I would repeat without being able to change a single thing, there are too many to be able to pick just one, but they all involve special time with friends and family.<br /><br />As a child I never wished to be older and as I get older and older I wish I was just a little bit younger, but not much. I used to wish I LOOKED older as at 21 people would mistake me for a 14 year old so getting into bars etc was always a lot of trouble!One Photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793386254564806126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529701964794268154.post-73584021138283881652010-03-18T06:59:10.898-07:002010-03-18T06:59:10.898-07:00I've only been married a year and I don't ...I've only been married a year and I don't remember much about my wedding day.
