Yes I'll admit, 90% of it was to make my wife happy so I don't regret it at all. I always tell people that our wedding was amazing but I would never do it again.
Leading up to the day and the actual day was physically and mentally exhausting.
Planning all the logistics, cake, food, seating, rides, etc ...
Getting up at 5am, between the ceremony, photos, reception all I had was a bagel, coffee and a Red Bull until 7pm.
So our laptop (yes with the cringey life photos and the playlist
) got stolen the night before so it was a mad scramble to get shit done. I asked my friend who luckily made a backup to get a new one to us before the reception.
Keep in mind I had to try and keep all this a secret from my wife as I didn't want to stress her out on the big day.
Since the music playlist on the laptop was gone, that same morning I loaded songs into my iPad to use for the ceremony but when it was time to walk down the aisle the iPad auto-locked and my friend who was supposed to hit play didn't know the passcode... so last ditch effort he just plugged in his phone and looked up a Spotify playlist ... however since the A/V room was all the way in the back he couldn't hear what song he was playing on his phone. I think he just searched "wedding songs" ... and so while we were walking down the aisle the speakers were blasting EDM (unce unce unce unce) hahaha that was embarrassing but thinking back it was kinda epic.
Lots of other stuff happened as well (forgetting her dress, etc) but I won't go into detail, think Hangover movie but less extreme ... good times lol
