It’s a Twitter Blog Hop, y’all! And this one is awesome. It’s about weddings. I love weddings.
I’m a bit, um, controlling? when it comes to having things MY way. Especially when those things are my WEDDING. Which was a pretty monumental occasion as I can guarantee that save for death, I’m never doing THAT again (even though I secretly want to renew our vows just so I can do it all over again because I loved it that much).
I was a budget bride. We were a budget couple. Sometimes it really sucked. There were things about the wedding that I’d change if I had it to do all over again knowing what I know now. Like the venue. My first choice venue at the time that I toured them didn’t have any sort of banquet facility for the reception. While I was planning my wedding, and after I’d already signed a contract on another place, my first choice facility built an awesome banquet “barn” thing (classic, rustic, charming, beautiful) that would’ve been available for my wedding. But they didn’t tell me that was even in the works when I met with them and fell in love with the place.
(If you’re wondering why I didn’t go with my first choice place anyway, it’s because the rental of tables, chairs, tents, etc. plus the fee for renting the facility would’ve eaten up my entire budget.)
::sigh::
Short on time? Save this post for later.

Another thing I’d change, and I’m sorry Mom, but this is 100% true, I would’ve served beer and wine and I would’ve had a champagne toast. I don’t think people really had a good time at my wedding because 1) it was the HOTTEST FREAKING DAY IN MAY and 2) oh yeah, it was the hottest freaking day in May. So no one danced because they would’ve had to dance outside because the venue didn’t allow music inside since it was such an old, old home and they didn’t want anything ruined by vibration or gyrating or something. In addition to serving beer and wine, I would’ve rented a small dance floor to put in the grass next to the place where we held the ceremony.
We still had a pretty awesome wedding.
