"Don't get me wrong, I loved my wedding, but I would not count on certain people to do what they said they would do. I would have also spent the little extra money to have things go a little longer." -- Elizabeth J.
Jolène M. Bouchon is a regular contributor to Brides.com and a freelance writer."I loved every minute of our wedding. I do wish more people would've danced, though." -- Michele C.
"I would have gotten my makeup and hair done first. And snacked throughout the day. Put someone on hair duty, someone on make up duty, and someone on dress duty. I would have reapplied lip gloss often." -- Hilary K.
"I would have seated my family on the right side, and vice versa so that they could have seen my face and his family could have seen his." -- LaShanda V.
"If I had to pick one thing, I would have taken pictures with my groom before the ceremony and actually would have gone to our cocktail hour instead. We didn't eat anything at our wedding and were so disappointed." -- Kristin T.
