    The biggest tip I can ever give anyone for their actual wedding day is to take a minute with your spouse, go somewhere private where you can still watch the festivities and soak it all up. We went outside and watched our guests through the windows for a few minutes and just had some alone time and it’s something I always cherish!!

      I was lucky enough to get this great advice by my driver on the way to my wedding. The whole day was a whirlwind but that moment my husband and I took, hugging in a far dark corner of a huge courtyard, watching all of our closest family and friends, laugh, dance, drink and be merry on our special day is a moment I'll never forget. I sort of wish we did it more than once. Perfect moment ❤

      The best thing I did was have just my husband and I at the table of honour. We had our meal just the two of us and laughed and joked and really soaked it all in. It was some ‘us’ time before we continued to mingle with our guests.

    In my first wedding, one of my best friends filmed the party and "interviewed" my family and the guests with my mother's shoe as a "mic". The video was such a hit at the after party that weekend. I got divorced a few years later, but now happily married to the "interviewer" for 23 years!

    We also learned that you shouldn’t stand on ANY docks on your wedding day 😂
    My wedding was low key and planned in less than 2 weeks. My only regret is that we had it at my parents house and couldn’t do any dancing, it didn’t bother me at the time but now 15 years later I wish I had gotten a first dance.

      My mother paid too. My husband didn't even thank her. We bought our clothes, the license, the ceremony but the receptions and the rest, Mom. It snowed like a SOB, cutting down the guest list dramatically, ah Canada. I didn't have a bridesmaid because my BFF is male and my sister and I are oil and water but it worked. Meanwhile, get this: None of the groom's mothers attended. Not his birth mother, not his stepmother (I think she was just diabetic, maybe was there?), not his adoptive mother and certainly not his foster mother and his nieces!

      I don't know what happened between you and your mom, but I know that morhers and daughters are not disposable. Please try to find a way to make things right with her. I don't see how either of you can be complete without the other. You're in my prayers. 💖

    For the girl who got questions from vendors and anyone who has this fear: you don’t NEED a wedding planner but you absolutely NEED a day of coordinator. Our day of coordinator was fantastic, her and her assistants made sure to round up people for photos, made sure that we were on schedule and made sure we had everything we needed. I was never approached by anyone about any issues, as far as I’m concerned, our day was perfect. Except for that one cousin that brought a 6 month old to our child-free wedding, but c’est la vie.

    My favorite moment from our wedding was when we took a few minutes just the two of us before everything got going. I was still in my regular clothes and so was he. We went into the sanctuary of the church, where it was quiet, and just sat together for a few minutes. I laid my head in his lap and we held hands and talked. We got those few minutes of peace before it all got started. And considering the rest of the day wasn't my favorite thing, I'm glad we got that time.

    My relationship/wedding story:
    Got engaged after 3 years. Found out we were pregnant shortly after (two weeks to be exact, oops). Waited almost 3 more years, saving and paying for, and planning our magical day.
    Used a venue that came with a day-of coordinator and all the vendors (a one stop shop situation). Quite honestly had one of the most relaxing and fun days of my life.
    Also, I am no longer friends with my maid of honor. I still love my wedding photos. I able to recognize that although we no longer speak, she was a huge part of many moments in my life and I will forever be grateful for the support she gave me during my hardships.
    Also, my car blew a tire on the way to our wedding venue 6 hours away - luckily we were leaving a few days early, so we were able to drive our donut tire to a shop and get a new, non-blown tire put on. And David's bridal THOUGHT they had lost my hubby's tux at first also. Everything was fine in the end, and I didn't feel any nervousness marrying the love of my life. Been together 10 years now and got two small humans that we adore.

    The day of my wedding was mostly chaotic and frustrating, but the ceremony and reception were lovely. I never had any nerves or a single doubt on my wedding day because I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. Our marriage is the same relationship as the one we had before we got married, which is exactly why I was excited about marrying him. I want more of this forever.

    My first wedding back in the 80s (I was a child bride LOL) went off beautifully. It was held in the small community where I grew up, in the small country church I attended. At the time, my fiancé and I lived in two separate states, and the wedding was in a third. Sounds like a recipe for failure, right? But no, surprisingly everything went off without a hitch. All my vendors were cousins and did everything they could to make the day great. My only regret is going along with the rather ugly dress my mom picked out. (I didn’t care - I was marrying the man I thought would love me forever, turns out he didn’t. We divorced 23 years later.) My second wedding was at the court house, we were alone with the judge, wore blue jeans and a purple sweater, and walked up the street in the rain and had dinner afterwards. It was wonderful, and this time I *did* marry the love of my life!

      @@ViktoriaYatsenko 'back in the days'- yeah, but not the 80s! We're talking early 1900s, fam. By the way, child brides are still a thing today, and they largely center around a rapist or pedophile using religion to pressure a literal child (8-14) into putting up with marrying the 40+ -year-old man. So basically, Ez Faze has every right to balk at the phrase used. A thing being 'a thing' doesn't make it a *good* thing.

    • @ViktoriaYatsenko
      @ViktoriaYatsenko 2 года назад +1

      @@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 I didn't say that they no longer exists. Child brides still exists today even now at this time some poor child might be getting married to someone old fart.( I'm sure everyone knows it, unless they live under a rock, i do not need to mention if they exists or not) What made you assume i said they don't exists?. And does the story teller above looks over 100 years old to you? What 1900s? That's way way way back then.. What made you think that it only happened in 1900s? And who are " we". You were not even commenting here before i did so who are "we are talking early 1900s" again? Where is your "1900s" conversation here in this small section of topic about my explanation on Child bride to Ez Faze?
      Also no one was against Ez Faze. Whats is wrong with you? no one forbid anyone to balk at phrases.. Are you trying to say that no one can go ahead and explain few thing why the story teller used the phrase " Child Bride".? And also judging by the story this happened in U.S. no any other place. So child brides as young as 8-14 could happen in polygamous community or Amish communities. But Amish communities let their daughter grow a little more and finish school early so at most marriage could happen at 16-18+ , but then who knows which community does what. There so many Amish communities, and all have different rules.
      Since the word " State" being used, only in Unites States they are being used mostly. SO which is why i said the arranged marriages back then no matter what year even before i was born in 1991 , still existed.. and was very common in closed tight communities. Just because I didn't fully explain it, you could still grasp the words the storyteller used. Assuming the storyteller used to live in very religious community that believed in traditional arranged marriage, or it just happened both families were friend and decided to marry their own children to each other.
      Arranged Marriages in 1980s were still a thing did you know it?, It happened in U.S and Europe, anywhere? And they still exist today. No matter what age or year its, the arranged marriages never stopped to exist to this day.
      Especially in small religious communities, where everyone knew each other like a family. They still exist today, and it can happens anytime. Just because i didn't mention more about it. Nor was i disagreeing with anything or anyone. I'm not even sure why did you bother to comment to me?

But eventually we did end up fighting because she tried to extend her control to my family as well. From our car to our house to the school our kids will go to to our freaking furniture, but she never got her ways again and it ended up causing a huge fight when she tried to feed choking hazards multiple times to our babies. We stopped seeing her as of last month. It really helped our marriage ❤️

Of course, I'm not one to stress over things being perfect, but everything went as planned. We were lucky to have wonderful family and friends who helped make our day, our very own.

      Next time I get married, someday, I will do it very simply. I stressed over everything. Then, just as we were about to exit the country club at 6/7, MIL from hell told me she booked a three-hour after-party at a nearby place. Didn't invite my parents or anyone else from my side, which was the idea-egads! Ppl from Brooklyn at HER event! Dad apologized to US for not being up to going-said they were exhausted, still had a long ride home, and also had to pick us up at 5:30 a.m. for the airport. We got home close to midnight BC she kept extending it even though I said I had been up since 5 a.m. and had to be up at 4 a.m., and were like "well, it is our wedding night so we have to...it was still great because we were so in love AND were so glad the wedding was over. Also, now comes the REAL fun, the honeymoon! And yes, I remember floating around in the water, us being so romantic 24/7 and thinking "yes, I DK if this is why but I feel like part of this wonderful feeling like no other I ever felt before is because I am sooo relaxed as compared to the days before".

    My wedding was my definition of perfect.
    It was just a simple "backyard" wedding. We live on 35 acres and had it set up in our one field overlooking the mountains. My husband made our one of a kind open arbor, shaped like a chapel peak, out of logs. I hung a gorgeous chandelier in the center for us to stand under. We then went down to the barn that we had all set up for the reception with a "chic" bbq atmosphere. I planned it myself and made all the decorations myself at 19 years old. All of our guests got a ride up the hill to the field via hay ride.. I rode up to the field on my horse, where my dad then lifted me down and walked me down the aisle.
    Most beautiful wedding ever and I'm blessed to call it mine. We've been married 6 years now and have 4 beautiful babies together so far. ❤️ And YES, I hired a photographer! So glad I did. That and I rented my favorite local band! Those two things were my only major expenses, as my grandma even made my dress for me and my uncle, who owns a food truck, made all of the food, free of charge as my wedding gift.
    Most relaxing day ever.

      @@GubbiGap It's also customary for the MOH and best man to sign the paperwork as the legal witnesses, and for the MOH to hold the bride's bouquet during the ceremony so that her hands are free to hold the groom's hand and exchange rings. In some cases the MOH will also hold the groom's ring until the bride needs it, like the best man traditionally holds the bride's ring for the groom. Also, a more recent custom is for her to make a speech at the reception similar to the best man's. @Mary Alice, that was a brilliant and lovely idea you had to split the duties and honors.

    We decided to have a very small wedding, (30 of our closest friends and immediate family) after I got out of hospital for a life changing neuralgia condition (my husband proposed while I was in hospital). It was so much better, less stress, more intimate and surrounded with loved ones for our day. It was everything we could have asked for and we could focus on each other and our marriage, rather than spend hundreds of thousands and take 5 years to plan, like my big Italian family usually do. We have been together for almost 20 years now (we're renewing our vows soon) and are still so much in love and always put out marriage first, instead of just keeping up appearances for others. The key to a good marriage for us has always been honesty, clear communication, daily affection and putting each other before others opinions. I wish you all an abundance of love and a lifetime of happiness! 🥰

    I don’t understand weddings needing to be this stressful! I bought my wedding dress for $150. We rented a beautiful enclosed pavilion (looked like a cabin) at a county park for the reception. Hired a DJ, everyone on my family made the food and we rented the catering type serving dishes. Was able to get into the reception venue the day before and set everything up exactly like we wanted. I made all the floral arrangements, bouquets and everything. We got married in October so we used seasonal flowers. I didn’t sweat the small stuff so the gel pens I bought to sign the photo mat guest “book” didn’t work, we just found ball point pens.I knew years down the road I wouldn’t care. The only bad thing was my dad and my one bridesmaid were late to the weddings, turns out they were having an affair. They are married now. My husband and I celebrated our 20 year anniversary in October and honestly the wedding seems kind of insignificant 20 years and 2 kids later. People still say how our wedding was one of the most fun weddings they’ve ever been to and I literally enjoyed every moment of our day.

      Wedding dress related....My only certified meltdown was when I received the email that said the company I ordered my wedding dress had stopped shipment (ran out of the material I wanted).... I went non traditional and ordered a beautiful Sari from India.
      10 days before our out of state wedding.....which in all fairness, that is a legitimate reason to panic! Thankfully my soon to be hubs had an employee from India and she helped find local indian clothing shops. I will forever love her! Found a stunning Sari for 130$ right off the rack and they tailored the top that day and sent it to be dry cleaned all ready by the next day.

    He was definitely a few drinks in, and luckily one of his groomsmen caught it and grabbed him to redirect, as I quietly struggled and kept smiling as to not upset my friend. It was horrible. Kept my distance after that night, and unfortunately for a number of years following.

So in 4 weeks we coordinated the most beautifully simple ceremony that I actually preferred over my original larger wedding plans.

    I wanted to have a backyard potluck wedding at my in-laws house so that all the friends and family of the neighborhood could easily attend. We lived provinces away from the family, and thought it made the most sense for us to travel to everyone instead of making them come to us. But the logistics of planning a wedding in another province was daunting - I had ZERO support.
    When I told my mother-in-law about my wedding ideas, she told me "that's not what you want" and handed me Martha Stewart wedding magazines.
    So being that I had zero support in the other province, plus my husband not wanting to have a big wedding even though his family IS MASSIVE, plus already having lived together for 6 years and not really caring about getting gifts, we decided that we would elope and no one from our massive family would be invited.
    The kicker is that months after the elopement we went to my in-law's home, threw a massive potluck and party.... that could have been my dream wedding. I just really wish they could have given me that support to begin with.

    The bride talking about wanting a minute to herself before the ceremony reminded me of the 5 minutes I was left alone in the bridal sweet before my wedding, and working myself into a panic that he was going to change his mind and leave without saying a word (to which my sister, who found me, said "don't be ridiculous"). This has nothing to do with who my partner is as a person, but because one of his groomsman was the kind of friend that if my fiance (now husband) had expressed any doubt or uncertainty, he would have walked my partner out of the church and driven away with him no questions asked (which is definitely a good friend, but still). It was an unnecessary fear because apparently as I was panicking that he might change his mind, my partner was telling his best man that he'd never been more certain that marrying me was the best decision he could make. We'll have been married 9 years this year, and we're still just as silly and in love.

I planned to, after a dress change, but when I came out almost all of them were gone! My husband did talk to most of them though, and I know they were not upset by this. I wore flats and was comfy the whole day! Also no nerves or cold feet on either side. We've never been so sure of something. I cried walking up the aisle seeing him, and he teared up seeing me.

She withheld that info so we couldn't say no and my family couldn't come-they all had 40 minute to 3 hour rides home! (Egads! People from Brooklyn at MY party!

Apparently my bridesmaids were all fighting over something trivial (I think it had to do with someone having to pick up something for someone else that spiraled out of control). Then one of them also broke up with her boyfriend during the reception...they had been fighting too. Additionally, one of the groomsmen (#1) met the girlfriend of another groomsman (#2)... she broke up with groomsman #2 and is now married to groomsman #1. Groomsman #2 doesn't talk to them or us anymore.

They practically ruined the week leading up to her wedding as well as the day. It was a beautiful day and event and everyone there enjoyed it immensely - except the bride.

    At my wedding they couldn't find the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to at the last minute so my husband (ex husband now) said "she likes #9 on this CD so just play that" and it was "give me one reason to stay here, and ill turn right back around" by Tracy Chapman. I tried to run down the aisle before the lyrics started but there was no use. And I forgot to shave my armpits and my brother called it out 🤣

    As someone who worked a LOT of weddings, one of the best ideas I've seen is bringing a change of shoes for after the ceremony. The cutest I saw was when the couple came to the reception and publicly changed into pairs of Chuck Taylor's, hers were white and his black.

    We eloped at a courthouse with 2 of our best friends as witnesses and my son. We then gathered at a local pub with the rest of our friends and both of our parents. Sometimes I wish I had a traditional wedding, but then I see videos like these and I love my low key wedding

    We got married at a venue that INCLUDED a coordinator that was also the MC for the reception. Someone that knew the venue inside and out, had a list of everything and knew how to make it perfect. My bridesmaids and MOH only had to 'guard' me against uninvited guests and potential drama which thankfully never happened. No one was stressed and was such a lovely night that people are still talking about it 6 years later :)

      We didn't have one, & I regret it. We had a 15 month engagement, so we figured we had heaps of breathing room to get everything squared away so that there would be no issues, we picked an all-inclusive venue for simplicity which supposedly came with a planner, & we only has a small (by national standards) amount of guests, to keep it intimate.
      Despite all that, I still regretted _so much_ not finding the money from somewhere else to personally hire an independent planner. Ours;
      1. Fouled up communication with the florist,
      2. Didn't get a decor item she had sworn she could + we only found out when we saw it on the day (& my bestie could have provided them for us, if we'd only had notice),
      3. The DJ she booked was _awful_ (as in, didn't run the setlist we gave him & very much misread the taste of the room + had to be straight-up _bullied_ into playing the setlist because he was _that_ resistant -awful) &
      4. Wasn't there the day-of to keep things running smoothly, which it was my impression was part of the standard planner-services package. Despite arriving at the venue an hour early to make sure we were on time to the ceremony, we still wound up being _super_ late - like, I later had to apologise to my guests for keeping them waiting in the hot sun for so long before a pretty long ceremony -late - because the random staff member who was supposed to come get us when it was time just...didn't.
      We still had a beautiful wedding (which ppl, very gratifyingly, still rave about [I suspect the 2 different surprise entertainment acts - magicians, + a Goblin King impersonator - had a lot to do with it]), but it made some small problems bigger, & I was _really_ pissed off about those decor items, as they were like a focal point of the theme, + the failure of the venue to let us know when it was time to go down to the ceremony (which it was clearly communicated we could rely on them to do) thing.
      I chose not to post a review of the venue afterwards, for that reason. Pretty sure they don't want the review I'd give.
      Prospective brides, if you're having anything with multiple moving parts, hire a planner if you possibly can. You won't regret it.

    I had a tiny wedding with maybe 25 people. The ceremony was in my grandparents' living room where the family had gathered for holidays for decades and where my mother prepared for her own wedding. The reception was at a local restaurant owned by a family friend. My cousin took pictures, the expenses were minimal, and I never stressed a bit. We are about to celebrate our ten year anniversary.

    We were married in Ireland (from US) after realizing trying to plan a wedding with my crazy family was becoming too intense!! We were going to Ireland for our honeymoon & after a little research & talking to our Irish friends they found a priest who married us in the Catholic church (I'm Baptist, hubs is Catholic) so we didn't have to abide by the two week residency requirement for marriages in Ireland. Highly recommend, if having any doubts or thoughts of not wanting the headache of the big wedding, to elope or have a very small, intimate ceremony then have a huge reception w/everyone else if still wanting a big party!! We had a big reception AFTER returning from our honeymoon. I also HIGHLY recommend Ireland! It is gorgeous!! After 27yrs of marriage, & watching these type of vids, we are still very happy with our decision!! Best of luck to any future brides out there!!

    My wedding was awesome. We walked to the bar when the reception was over and kept the party going. A regular at the bar recognized me from earlier that year when I drunkenly cried on St. Patrick’s day because my now husband was deployed. She bought us all shots. I used a dive bar bathroom in my HUGE dress alone, which everyone was impressed with (I was too honestly) - the live band played our song. It was great.
    I got married in the same church my sister did. We are both divorced now….so maybe the church is cursed. But my wedding was awesome and my ex husband is still a close friend so, I remember it fondly. 😂

    Our wedding was good (20 years married). Everything went smoothly and it was a blast. The one funny moment we still chuckle over in the actual wedding night. No one tells you how exhausting weddings actually are. By the time we got back to the room, we were both dead on our feet. We looked at each other and said "Yeah, we have a two week honeymoon to do this. Lets just get some actual sleep", and we both just crashed. We did have an early flight the next morning (I think it was a 7am flight.. went to Disneyworld and then a Disney cruise).

We went home immediately afterward intending to nap but ended up having drinks at home with friends who could not attend the wedding. Then my husband and I went to a fancy restaurant to have dinner to celebrate our wedding night alone. When we got home, we both said "Morning vibe?" laughed at our jinx and went to sleep. I regret nothing. lol

    I did my own wedding at the Botanical Gardens in Tucson, Arizona. Did my own flower coloring, made the bouquets, buttonaires, decor, food, 50-75 people, designed cake and flowers for that, bought supplies to make it and friend did work as gift...had a lighted fountain in it, which she used for other cakes later. I wore white ballet slippers that I hand beaded with irridescent beads to match the ruffles on my dress. I made hours of my favorite tapes {yes, decades ago} and one friend was in charge of changing tapes when needed. Food was grown/made by me, frozen until wedding, but some things I made a few days prior. Made sangria and peach alcohol punches, Corona w/salt and lime, and made ice floes for punches, with fruits frozen in them. It went smoothly but I was my own planner so knew exactly what was being done and made sure it happened. Told 2 bridesmaids and my sis MOH choose regular dresses they can use again, just light blue and light green were the colors. Truly less than $2,000 back several decades ago. Also had a no alcohol drinks table..for those who didn't want alcohol. Southwester buffet I made.

      Absolutely. As you know, it is very important to wait. For me, even a year, even two years, is not that much when you are talking about the rest of your life. Plus, we are still wearing rose-colored glasses in that "honeymoon period", for me, far longer. Then we all start seeing things in the other person we maybe don't like, which is normal because no one is perfect, and then people forget why she/he broke up with the ex and the real you doesn't fare so well in comparison to an idealized image...Finally, you have a fight and the person goes running back to the ex.

    Literally one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day was the wonderful lady I had be my wedding coordinator, Monica. She was a long time family friend, had known my parents since high school, and had the same level of attention to detail as my own mother. So she allowed both me and my mother (who was probably more stressed than I was) to not be stressed about anything day of, and let us enjoy our time together as a family. Wonderful memories of us getting ready that morning and having her fawn over how beautiful everything looked. The wedding cake was actually late getting there (not sure how late, but enough to be concerning), and Monica handled it and my mom didn’t find out until after it was sorted. Legit could have sent one or both of us into a panic had we known. God bless Monica, she was the real MVP. Ladies, even if you can’t get a professional, get yourself a Monica. Someone who will work their tail off to make sure everyone gets where they’re supposed to be, and keeps the fire extinguisher handy for any kind of trouble.❤️

    Just got married this year... Aside from starting the night before the day went really well! Our venue had a Day of Coordinator that handled all the venues and we had an amazing photographer and videographer! I remember the day and actually got to enjoy the party. My husband and I both love planning, so we both worked hard together to make sure the day was ironed out smoothly for us to be able to enjoy it! I typed up a day of schedule to hand off to my bridal party, photographer, and venue coordinator. I was really happy with the way we both embraced the day for ourselves, we included the traditions we wanted and made things our own. We left out bouquet toss, garter toss, and any speeches. I can agree with you Charlotte that what you need for your wedding day is a great photographer, a coordinator, and to not say fart instead of heart 😂

I had to coordinate going looking & choosing dresses. I organised the tables who sat where, who had what food including allergies & kids meals, the coaches to collect family from whos House 1st 2nd & so on! I had to figure out who was staying where the night before. I had a horse & carriage that was late so I was 45 min late to the church! the guy who brought the carriage had parked his car in the front of the garage where sat inside was the limousine for the bridesmaids! my uncle had to stand with the horse & carriage while my dad took the guy to move the car so we only had a couple of minutes together on our own before we set off to church! The DJ had left our wedding song at home, my flowers were dropped so I lost a few before I got to church! things just happened & it was stressful as hell ! I wasn't nervous at all but looking back it kind of passed me by in a haze! if I could have had a wedding planner 1 million percent I would have! 🤦🏼‍♀️😳😜

    I had a very simple wedding with my husband. We did not plan a reception, just a ceremony. It was an open ceremony, meaning no guest list and we aired it on Facebook since I am not originally from the US so my family to watch. It was just my husband and I, no bridal party, in a church. I bought flowers from Dollar tree and a bridesmaid dress that was on sale for $40. I wore some sandals I already owned. My sister did my hair as a gift and a friend did my make up as a gift. My husband bought a suit for $50 that he was able to wear for work afterwards LOL.
    Our church family actually blessed us with a surprise reception after the ceremony and it was so beautifully decorated as they knew my favourite colours are bright yellow and gold. One of our friends took pictures with her iPhone LOL and I got others from friends and family that uploaded them to Facebook.
    It was an amazing day, cost us $200 and we are still happily married all these years later 💛
