We are married!!

Brittany, on August 27, 2019 at 15:57 Posted in Just married 0 29

It’s come and gone ! A word to those still awaiting your big day ... things will go wrong. It may seem stressful but at the end of the day your guests probably won’t notice and it will still be the best day ever.

Costco lost my flower order.
Pizza 73 lost our midnight lunch order
it was pouring rain off and on all day. But 4 pm came around and it was hot and sunny ! Then it poured as soon as we were done pictures.
my Dad was wasted by 5. Started stuff with my mom and had to be kicked out 😂
my mom did some stuff too.
The DJ played the wrong song for something
They forgot to put out half the snacks for cocktail hour
Hotel mix ups... etc
My dress kept falling down
my bracelet broke
Bridesmaids missing flights...

14 people no showed...

And even more...
yet somehow everything worked out.


I still married my best friend. It was still beautiful. We had a blast. And several of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had been too and that they had so much fun ! So don’t sweat the small stuff and make sure you have someone designated to deal with stuff if it comes up. Try to focus on what the days about and remember to smile and live in the moment ! Smiley smile it goes by so fast ! Grab your hunny as much as you can throughout the night and try not to get pulled in all sorts of directions. It's a whirlwind and no one will remember the little hiccups along the way.

    Congratulations! That's quite a few hiccups but I'm glad to hear that everything turned out so well despite it all - especially if it makes for good stories! Hopefully the vendors that messed up made up for it either physically or monetarily though

    Oh please don’t be ! At the end of the day it didn’t matter and everything turned out. Just know that even if something does go wrong it will still be the best day.

    Congrats! Your pictures are beautiful. And the most important part is you married your best friend!
    When your guests tell you it was the best wedding you really know that all those small things that went wrong went unnoticed to them!

    Gorgeous photos!!!

    you hit the nail on the head though, even if everything is going wrong, it’s actually going right because you’re marrying the love of your life. The small stuff doesn’t matter!

    Congratulations to you and your husband!

    First off Congrats to you both.

    Yes things will go wrong though your day went really half of what should have been put together. Sorry to hear about your mom and her being harsh to be thrown out. What is a surprise your dad was going to get wasted within the hour?

    Beautiful pictures and glad you missed the rain to keep dry for the most part.

    Oh definitely. We had the best day. I am so happy to have married my best friend. And at the end of the day no one else really knew those things were going on.

    That's why it was kind of a PSA to that like even if things go wrong.... just focus on your husband. And take the time to take it all in because its a whirlwind and then it's over.

    That is an amazing upgrade! Worked out in your favor then. I am glad it all worked out in the end! I can't imagine how crazy it was for you, I am glad your DOC and SIL stepped up and were there in the end. I know you had past posts about family and thought that. Still hurts though. Try to remember all the amazing moments you had on your wedding day. Look forward when you get all the photo's as well! Those will be great moments.

    It ended up being a great day despite it all.

    The hotel double booked our jacuzzi suite too... but that worked out because we got a free upgrade to the presidential suite worth about 1500 dollars more. The list I posted isn't even everything. It was alot and I was very overwhelmed. But my DOC helped alot.. my now SIL stepped up and dealt with a lot of the family drama and directing when the DOC was dealing with other vendor mishaps. It all worked out. It was still a great day. The parent's thing is the only thing I am still a little hung up on.. but I honestly expected something going in.
