Regrets After wedding

[stylus]

Major regrets:
** i shouldve took a rest the day before the wedding as i have symptoms of myasthenia gravis. As in i had severe facial muscle fatigue that i cannot smile nor speak or even chew and swallow during my wedding day dahil sa sunud sunod na pagod at puyat.

** rehearse bridal march with daddy including the pagbeso & pagbless effects. Kasi daddy ko nakakainis di alam kung ano gagawin nung actual march na eh linaw ng usapan bago yun. Parang di mo alam kung nakalimutan lang o kinakabahan eh. Pangit tuloy tingnan sa video.

Minor:
** we should've prepared early for our first dance. Night before the wedding lang namin napagkasunduan ni hubby yung choreography. Though okay naman nung actual, pero syempre nakapagpastress at puyat pa sakin yun nung night before.

** may mga kulang din na photos sa church after the wedding. Wala din pic ng couple with complete entourage. Hiniwalay kasi yung bridesmaids and groomsmen sa photo with secondary sponsors

thanks for this thread mga sis, magiging sobrang helpful sya for B2Bs like me. Probably gawin ko din yung ginawa ni sis chilli kasi iniimagine ko pa nga lang yung paglakad ko sa isle naiiyak nako what more pa kaya kung andun na ako sa moment na yun talaga na.

bollin_pop: If you decide to take medication to calm down before the wedding dapat under medical supervision and stick to the dose hehe. Dapat siguro take one as soon as you wake up and that's it. Me kasi, I was bad... I took a 2nd one at noon kasi I was starting to be a bridezilla when I realized we were running late. I think sumobra yung meds ko hahahaha I realized after nalang na I was kinda numb in the ceremony I dont really regret it naman, its just that its nice to also look back and remember how touched you were instead of looking back and remembering being a bit dazed and floaty hahahah. Although maganda sa pictures kasi todo poised, but still.

Hi sis! I have seen so many brides holding their bouquet na medyo napataas. I guess, talagang minsan hind natin matantya kung saang level ba natin to hahawakan. Me, i asked my photovid team if its fine na. And they say, "baba konti. O sobrang baba naman, taas taas naman. O ayan pwede na yan. Ganyan lang." Haha.

Naalala ko lang yung bilin sakin on how to hold my bouquet "Itapat sa flower ang flower" hehe

[vanityqueen07]

wow thanks for sharing your experience mga sis! super helpful para samin na soon to weds!

[Ziyi]

Hahaha natawa ko sa "itapat ang flower sa flower". Noted sis! 😁

[damonsgirl]

I'd like to share mine too.

1. Backdrop
- Hindi ko talaga makakalimutan kung gano ito kapanget. May pinili kasi ako na pattern and eto naman si stylist hindi pala nya inenlarge. As in pinagtagpi tagpi nya lang into one picture then pinrint sa tarp. Hay. Saklap talaga.

2. Hair
- Masyadong bulky yung hair ko. Looking back, sana nag lugay nalang ako with konting waves/curls.

3. First dance
- Hindi namin ito napaghandaan. Major disaster kahit slow dance lang. Can't wait for it to end. As in inantay lang namin matapos yung singer.

4. Eating
- Hindi talaga ako nakakain kahit sinerve naman yung food before my second look. Kumain nalang kami ng leftover food ng suppliers sa hotel.

5. Picture with my Lolo and Lola
- Sa sobrang busy di ko na naisip magpa pic ako kasama sila. Laking lola ako so sobrang nanghinayang ako pag naiisip ko yun.

6. Food server for my Lolo and Lola
- Hindi sila nakakain masyado kasi hirap na sila lumakad para kumuha sa buffet table tapos my mom was so busy paying the suppliers kaya hindi rin sila naikuha ng food. Yung brother ko lang ata ang nakakuha ng konting food for them but yun nga hindi sila nabusog. Nakaka awa. I should have put them sa VIP table with the ninongs and ninangs para naservan din sila ng food.

Yan palang yung naiisip ko. Baka may maidagdag pa ako later on hahaha.

1. mataas din pagkakahawak ko ng bouquet. haha. sobrang kabado kasi ako habang naglalakad tapos sobrang stiff ng katawan ko. nakataas yung shoulders ko. nakakatawa hitsura ko sa video. haha

2. natatapakan ko yung gown ko sa harap habang naglalakad. i've been warned by my friend about this pero di ko inakala na mararanasan ko din sya sa actual march. ang ending, binuhat ng bestmen yung gown ko nung malapit na ko sa altar para mapabilis lakad ko.

3. greatest regret - Program during reception. DIY kasi kami lahat, wala kaming coordinator. yung host namin sa reception nirefer lang ng Tita ni hubby. family friend daw nila na naghohost sa mga prom sa schools.
Hindi naging maayos yung program, tapos nagalit pa yung photographer namin kasi patapos na [textspeak!] program and nag-uwian na yung mga tao, hindi pa rin napapalabas yung SDE!

Haist. so lesson learned, if you have the budget better get a coordinator or at least a host na magaling and entertaining para hindi patay yung program. karamihan kasi sa guests, eat and run.

[ece]

-aww. Hindi mo ba nafit before the wedding? di bale sis, madadala yan ng face value! ❤️❤️😊😊😊

final fitting as done 4 days before the wedding sis! hehe.. I only had 2 fittings, yung base then final na. overseas bride plus anlayo ng bahay ng couturier ko. halos 5-6hrs drive. 
isa pa pala iyun, wag kumuha ng supplier na malayo! hahaha! pero I love my gown! no regrets sa pagpili sa kanya as my designer. 

[Chili1113]

I have a small regret I forgot to add!!! I regret all the times I had my gown tied up in a bustle at the back =( There are quite a few pics with my gown bustled up.   Sayang the gown's train since it was my favorite part of the gown. Sana I just let the train drag behind me, anyway the coordinator assigned to me was really helpful in carrying my train hehe.

[j.adore]

Awww sayang nga!
I was also conscious of the train but the designer told me to just let it be. Meant to be dragged and get dirty daw haha!

[imprincessfiona]

I wanna share mine. Medyo mataas position ng bouquet ko though hindi naman kataasan pero much better kung waist level lang at hindi chest level LOL (Hindi ako aware dito sa pic ko lang napansin). Hindi ko na din naisip due to nervousness. Saka iyong paglakad ko sa aisle sana medyo slow ako ng konte pero hindi naman kabilisan and tama dapat savor every minute habang walking down the aisle ka kasi its the bride's moment talaga. May complete family pic naman kami sa church pero mas maganda sana kung may complete pic din kami sa photobooth. Sana nag-avail kami ng SDE pero dahil budget wedding kami hindi kami kumuha (hindi din kasi namin nakuha iyong raw videos namin, ipapagawa ko na lang sana sa iba iyong SDE or I will create my own SDE). I don't know the reason behind kung bakit natatapakan ko ang laylayan ng gown ko sa front. I keep on kicking my gown in front hahaha pero hindi naman na-capture sa video. Iyong iba share ko na lang pag naisip ko. 

[imprincessfiona]

Isa pa dapat magready ka ng thank you speech para sa reception na not too long but sincere pag kasi on the spot minsan hindi ka na makapag-isip sa halo halong emotions mo.

[SARAHnghae]

^nung wedding ko husband ko lang ang nag thank you speech... im not that type of person who gives a speech and may stage fright ako. haha

[meixin]

^^Kaso sa amin, si h2b yung may stage fright.. Baka mangyari ako yung magsalita.. Ok lang ba yun?

[SARAHnghae]

^sis meixin - i see nothing wrong with it.   
pwede din naman both kayo mag speech kahit yung super short lang, thank you lang sa mga guests and families ganun.

[MedChic]

Minor regrets
- i should have memorized my vow ng bongga! Si husband, sinurprise ako na ang vow niya ay ginitara! mejo song writer /composer  si husband, umasa ako sa short term memory for my vow, ayun.. Boom.. Caught sa video, halos walang kwenta ang vow ko. Hahahah!
- akala ko hindi makikita ang slipper ko (naka slipper lang ako the whole wedding, picture picture lang yung may takong ako) Mahaba naman si Gown kaya pag nag wawalk, hindi kita, pero pag nag kneel pala, kita sa likod yung slippers. Lol!

Major regret
- sana may naitipid pa ako.
- sana nag seryoso ako dun sa sinabi ko na hindi ako mag iinvite ng hindi ko kilala (kaso ang nanay ko.. Haaay.. Di mapaigilan)

[lovemeagain30]

Mine naman:

1) Sana hindi nako bumili pa ng gown for the reception. Eto nakakahinayang sakin! Although i looked good the pic pero kahit na, di na dapat ako bumili pa. okay naman ang church gown kahit sa reception. nakatipid pa kami sana lalo.

2) Sana nag relax ako habang picture taking namin. sa sobrang kaba ko, ngumingiwe ang smile ko! ampangit tuloy. 

[imprincessfiona]

Isa pa dapat magready ka ng thank you speech para sa reception na not too long but sincere pag kasi on the spot minsan hindi ka na makapag-isip sa halo halong emotions mo.

^Ay hindi pala thank you speech my bad tee hee! some kinda wedding vow nyo pala sa isa't isa pala kasi hindi allowed sa church namin iyong wedding vow. Hindi ako nakapag-ready  kasi on the spot.

[byutijunkie]

Although my wedding was eons ago (haha!) iisa lang ang major regret ko, sana I prepared more on our honeymoon rather than the wedding.  I was so caught up with the wedding "fever" that I wasn't able to prepare well after the celebrations.  My advise to future brides?  Think beyond that day and make sure that you also prepare something really special on the first days of your married life.  Mas matagal yun and eto para sa inyo lang talagang 2 ng hubby mo. .

Don't sweat the small stuff, your guests will not remember them naman.  What they will is the experience of seeing you both happy and tied together.
