Hi ladies and gents!
So it's been just over a week since we tied the knot, as I'm sure most of you have seen from my post earlier this week!
I just wanted to make a quick post about how things on your day will most definitely not go as planned, no matter how hard you try, but you probably won't notice or even care.
A list of things on our day actually went wrong..or just not as planned. If figured I'd share a few and hopefully make some of you feel a little less nervous about making sure everything is perfect.
So first thing that happened that was definitely not in the plan was just as we were leaving the hotel for the venue my purse strap got stuck to my dress and actually RIPPED part of my dress.. not it wasn't huge or anything but I definitely wasn't very happy about it, luckily we were able to kind of hide it.
Then, this isn't an issue or anything, but we left the hotel a bit late (thanks to the purse and dress issue) then we got stuck behind a train! So I was a bit late for my own wedding lol
During the ceremony it was lightly raining (thank goodness for indoor weddings!) And you could actually hear the thunder in the distance, which was kind of nice to be honest. After the ceremony is when the storm hit..it downpoured so our outdoor cocktail hour unfortunately got moved into the reception area.. it wasn't a huge deal but unfortunately that lead to a couple people eating the wedding "cake" cupcakes early and the bartender going against our wishes and services liquor instead of just beer and wine. That we were not happy with at all!
Once the pictures, which had to be all indoors so that sucked, and everything were done we were able to mingle with our guests before dinner for a few minutes and the DJ came up to me asking who our MC was...well HE WAS but apparently he didn't know that (even though it was in our contract) so I had to rush around and find an MC, thankfully the venue owner/coordinator stepped up and was absolutely amazing! Our guests loved her!
During dessert the servers completely forgot to serve the cake part of our cupcake tower to us and the wedding party.. didn't even notice till after the wedding though.
The DJ was just on a roll with mistakes... He was great and also not all at the same time. He played the wrong song for our entrance song. He took 20+ minutes to set up and start the music for the dancing part of the reception. Our best man almost played music from his phone! He also played my bouquet toss song before the bouquet toss and he didn't play a single song that we..THE BRIDE AND GROOM requested but played other guests requests... I was overall annoyed with him but he did keep the party going and our guests didn't know his mistakes so they loved him.
Overall the day was absolutely amazing, despite all the things that didn't go as planned. When we look back on the day we won't remember what went wrong we will remember the fact that we got married and had an amazing day!
So yes, even though all these things were super annoying they were mostly things that we didn't bother thinking about until the next day and we got over it after a quick rant to each other.
So just remember, things will go wrong. You may or may not know about them at the time. If you do you will probably just shrug your shoulders and continue enjoying your night. The next day you may look back and complain but you will still only remember the positives!
