The Talk
"I wish I had my bridal gown steamed the day before the wedding. Even though it
was hung properly, I could see creases as I was walking down the aisle."–Pamela
"When shopping for my wedding dress, I was glad my sister brought a Polaroid camera.
We labeled each photo with all the pertinent gown information and that helped me
narrow down my final choice in the comfort of my apartment."–Christine
"We did not skimp on the videographer – and I’m glad. When the wedding is over, it’s
my husband and my video that remain ‘to have and to hold.’"–Donna
Among brides who used a friend or relative to video their wedding, 49% said they
wished they would have used a professional, and if they had it all to do over again
... they would hire one.
"I wish I had more candid photos taken than formal ones. They are so much more
fun to look at and share with friends and
family."-Janet
"Treat your guests to a bit of local flavor ... pack them a specialty basket of goodies
and snacks ... it will give your guests and idea of what gourmet treats Chicago has
to offer ... and they will surely appreciate your thoughtfullness and creativity."
"I wish I had thought more out-of-the-box. Instead of marrying at a traditional location,
I would have chosen the local winery or an art museum. It could then become our
special place ... and we could return on our anniversaries. What a romantic reminder
it would be of that incredible day!"-Janette
"I got married in July and was delighted to learn that it was one of the slowest months
for a wedding and therefore less expensive than most others. August and September
are also good choices for the budget-minded."-Mary Anne
"The credit card I used to pay for my entire wedding was linked up to mileage points
with an airline. My husband and I can now fly halfway around the world without
spending a dime."-Mindy
