Honest Brides Share Their Most Heartfelt Wedding Day Regrets

Sometimes, things never turned out as planned, especially weddings. Weather, entertainment, food, location, or anything else at weddings can get messed up at the last moment which can lead you to face a miserable situation. These situations can suppress your feelings on your big day. 

But regrets are bound to happen, no matter how much you plan everything. Here is the heartfelt wedding day regrets some honest brides have shared. 

Couldn’t eat on my own wedding day

The bride wished that it would have been better if she had eaten more food on her wedding day. She had to eat at Walmart at the end of the day. She said that her husband and she were so hungry even frozen Tso’s tasted like heaven. She regretted not getting the chance to eat properly as she had spent plenty of money and time deciding the menu and catering. 

Didn’t want a white wedding dress

The bride claimed that she didn’t want to wear a white dress on her wedding day. She wanted to wear a purple dress to her wedding and not a white one. It was her day but she had to follow the rituals chosen by others rather than following her own wishes.  

She said that she hated wearing a white dress and felt like a giant marshmallow the whole wedding. She would have been more comfortable if she had worn the dress of her own choice. 

Children barged into ceremony

The bridal complained that if she hadn’t allowed the children, her wedding wouldn’t be ruined. They broke her reception elements, stained her husband’s vests, and did other weird stuff that was outrageous. 

She knew what was coming because kids do unanticipated things that can ruin the special day but she couldn’t stop them from interrupting at that moment. 

Invited unwanted people to the wedding

The bride said that she had to invite people to her wedding whom she didn’t want there at all. She invited them just because they don’t get offended. They came to the wedding, complained about everything, and showed this is why there wasn’t any need to invite them to the wedding. But at that time she couldn’t do anything other than regret. 

She said that if you don’t want someone to come on your special day, just don’t invite them. It’s a better choice rather than ruining your special day. 

Regretted not appointing a videographer

The bride regretted not hiring a videographer for her wedding just to save money. She thought what is the point of hiring a videographer when she was spending a lot of money on a photographer?

Later on, she realized that the memories started fading as the days went by. She had thrown a unique wedding party with personal vows and perfect moments but she didn’t have someone to record it and felt remorse about her decision later. 

Selected the wrong size of the dress

According to the bride, she decided to wear a dress that fitted her too well. She couldn’t even eat the food as the dress was so rigid. She wished she had chosen a dress that wasn’t too tight for her so that the food could fit in. 

Because she had spent a lot of money on food and serving, it was devastating not being able to enjoy the meal of her own wedding day.

Picked the wrong bridesmaid

The bride regretfully said that she picked the wrong bridesmaid for her wedding. She knew she wasn’t on good terms with her maid of honor yet she decided to continue with her decision. On her wedding day, the bridesmaid started picking fights with her and the groom as well. Moreover, she body-shamed me before going on the floor for a wedding dance. 

The bride advised that surround yourselves with supportive people or don’t have bridesmaid at all. 

Felt sorry about not giving a must-play list to the Dj 

The bride said that instead of informing the Dj about the songs she wanted to be played at the wedding. She gave the Dj a do-not-play list of songs and told the name of the singers that she didn’t want to listen on her wedding day.

Later on, she thought if she had given the list of must-play songs with specific instructions, she could enjoy the wedding more wholly. 

Final Words

Regret is inevitable but try not to poison a good marriage due to a bad wedding. Talk to your spouse, family, or friends, and let your hurt feelings go through open communication. If you want to leave fewer chances of facing catastrophe situations on your wedding day, hire a good wedding planner.  A wedding planner assists with designing, planning, and handling a wedding so that the bride and groom can have the happiest day of their lives.
