Mrs. Bee here.
Miss Lollipop linked to a metafilter thread earlier today that asked, “Do you regret having spent all of that money and energy on your big, splash-out wedding?
Commenter aoedorothee wanted to hear weddingbee readers’ responses, so I’ll start!
I don’t regret any of the time that I put into planning our wedding (approx 6 months), because going through the process helped me a great deal in launching weddingbee. Being one of the first of my friends to get married, I really had no idea what I was doing back then… but now I live, eat, breathe, drink weddings.
If I could do it again, sure there are things I would have done differently, spent less on, etc. But overall, I don’t really have regrets about our wedding.
For those of you that are already married - do you regret the time and money you invested into your wedding?
I sometimes regret spending a year with wedding planning as my only hobby because after we got married, we had to fix up our house to sell it and we were tight for time. I wish I had started house projects earlier.
But honestly, the wedding was so perfect. It’s worth anything to have one perfect day. My friends still say it was the best wedding and ask for advice. Whenever I’m down, all I have to do is look at our wedding pictures and I’m instantly so happy.
