I would change a lot of things especially me having some say in the wedding. My parents planned my party. I had no say in it except what kind of style of my wedding dress. My sister made it at a cost (including cleaning it after it was made) was $25.00. I had to borrow a cousins veil and I really had wanted my own. The guest list was decided by the parents, we had nothing to do with it and not allowed any input. An Uncle that I didn't want there was invited. He was an alcoholic and was drunk before the wedding even started. He kept coming up to the head table to kiss me. It was horrible. We had to leave the party and in those days no one was suppose to leave until the bride and groom left. The honeymoon was in a cabin that I cooked and cleaned. My husband loved it. I tolerated it as it was all we could afford. However, for our 25th we took a second honeymoon. One I planned. A cruise from Vancouver to the Hawaiian Islands. It was wonderful. I also would like to get a new wedding band and engagement ring. Our 3 rings cost a total of maybe $300.00. Again it really was all we could afford. The diamond ring I haven't been able to wear from around the 3rd anniversary because of the way it is. I haven't been able to wear my wedding ring the last couple of years. I would love white gold as well. I don't need a really big ring just one that I could actually wear.

In my case, a more professional Professional Photographer would have been hired.
(2nd thing I'd change- not invite his sister lol). I never said anything during the entire ceremony, I swear my husband married himself because he repeated vows twice 
My favorite part was at the end, when father-in-law looked up and said "well if this ain't a hillbilly wedding I don't know what is!" 
Thank God we'd already been married by the JP because I doubt the 2nd ceremony was legal!
I would be too! Wow!
) LOL I would probably go with black/white theme with maybe a touch of another accent color (maybe red?) I would also have my sister as my maid of honor instead of just a bridesmaid. I had a friend of mine be the MoH. It's not that I regret having her as my MoH, it's just that now I regret NOT having my sister. Oh well, what can ya do know, ya know? Anyhow, I would still have it in a big ole church. But the reception would be more "elegant" I had mine in a local "club" (similar to a VFW type place) Back then, I had a lot of family members who "belonged" to this club and I basically got a good deal on the place. I would also have a nice sit down meal or atleast a kick*ss buffet with better food. I mean the food we had was okay, but it was your basic swedish meatballs, ziti, salads, deviled eggs type of stuff. Now I would want a nice cocktail hour with some hot hordourves to be passed around, a more upscale meal (maybe with some filet mignon, lobster, etc LOL) Our cake was nice (atleast it was what was popular back then) it was a tiered cake with a fountain and staircases. I think next time it would be a more simple cake with flowers. And I wouldn't put the typical cheesy bride/groom topper on top. 
Same BIL was supposed to put the cake and other leftovers in our fridge. We returned from the honeymoon to find them on the floor of our basement. 
and MIL and BIL remain. 
I tried to please everyone, and be anti-bridezilla, that I lost track of what I wanted.
my dress.
Yep, that's the one! The only one we know of, though, is "Christmas Canon Rock." Obviously, the Christmas lyrics won't work in October; do they do a completely instrumental version?
