As a previously stressed out fiancé trying to plan a wedding, I am well aware of the Should of, Would of, Could of disease that infects the brain of all newlywed brides. It’s an airborne virus that invades through the ear canal as random wedding guests, family members, friends and even the bride and groom utter how things could have gone down differently.
If you or someone you know has just gotten married here’s some advice: SHUT IT. There’s a kind of depression that follows the wedding. The couple is no longer the center of attention. The bride and groom are allowed to return to their normal lives. It’s like popping a zit all the pressure, relief, white stuff and then irritation, picking and scarring.
Thank you, Captain Obvious for pointing out that my wedding could have been more organized, that we should have been wearing microphones for the ceremony, that we should have played the ceremony music louder, That we shouldn’t have allowed people in who didn’t RSVP, That we could have had enough seating for those who did RSVP, that we should have had the ceremony later in the day, that we should have taken the family photos earlier, that we could have had a better wedding in general.
All this jibber jabber did was imply that our wedding wasn’t good enough for you. Guess what? It was good enough for US and we don’t really, truly, at all care what your opinions were regarding what could have, should have or would have been done differently to make your wedding experience more enjoyable. While I am extremely grateful for where I had my wedding and the people who helped make my wedding possible, once the wedding is over, it's not like we're going to have a re-do. So what's the point of telling us all the things that were wrong? I agree, there were tons of things that could have happened in a different manner, but they didn't and I hope you had fun anyways.
The best part of any wedding is when it’s over and the bride and groom can sigh with the relief that they survived.

I think you are an amazing person and just summed up most peoples experience on their wedding day. The hard part about a wedding besides everything is when people forget it's not about them but about you.
Ps. You have a very colorful way of putting things lol ;0)
