What would your wedding be like if you were getting married today?

    My wedding would be very similar! Perhaps a different florist and maybe a slightly different color scheme, but same venue, photographer, DJ, etc. This is surprising, since I became a wedding planner after my wedding and have sent almost 150 couples down the aisle in the past 7 years. I'm glad that I don't have any major wedding regrets!

    A tiny destination wedding. I'm sure we would still invite many, but few would come. Then we could have put the savings towards our home.

    Very little would change. I'd still do a Vegas wedding with my immediate family. Perhaps our dinner would be different as it wasn't my favorite restaurant ever. And I'd maybe tack on a few more days of honeymoon.

    The only things that would change are my dress (which I loved at the time but styles have changed since then so I would update) and a bigger guest list to include new friends made since then. But that's it!

    @jedeve: It's hard to plan such a big life event when you really don't have that much experience with life, ha! But like you, my wedding was beautiful and we were very lucky that my parents were so generous!

    I think I'd do it pretty much the same. We had a small church ceremony in the morning, and then had a yummy lunch at one of our favorite restaurants. It was small (about 20 people).

    However, in alternate fantasy land, it would have been fun to do something with DH's family in South America--I would have loved to rent out an old hacienda for the weekend !! We could have gone on horseback rides and hot springs and whatnot. But since DH is not that close to his family, and neither of us are outgoing, nor do we have many friends it would have never worked. But fun to fantasize about!!

    The only thing I would change was the limo driver - I was late to my own wedding because he got lost between my house and the ceremony venue!

    I think I'd keep a lot of it the same...I loved our venues (gorgeous chapel for ceremony and museum for reception). I think I'd only change the colors and style of decor, and that's only because my style has changed and trends have changed. I'd also have a smaller bridal party, probably with just my sisters and maybe 1 or 2 friends. I'd also pick a different photog.

    It would be the same, Connecticut shoreline with indoor/outdoor elements and lots of glamour. The only thing I would do differently is hire a videographer who wasn't a crook!

    Probably the same (tent in a garden with everyone we love) but find a way to make do it cheaper! Our wedding was astronomically expensive compared to our financial sentiments these days.

    Spring, tulips, outdoors, short dress, immediate family & close friends only, small dinner at a restaurant as reception. The only thing I would probably "splurge" on is photography.

    I'm Chinese, my husband is Black. My mom strongly disapproved him, but I still choose to married him.

    I married him with nothing. We got married very simple, at the City Hall/ Courthouse with 2 witnesses: His mother and my older brother.
    There was No engagement ring, No wedding reception, No honeymoon. In defense of my husband, it was me that chose not to have any of those stuff.
    I did it to protect him too, IF one day he regret this marriage, at least there wasn’t much of any money spend on it.

    All we have is each others, our commitment, and the cheap plain matching wedding band that we both wear on our left hand.

    My mom was part of the reason why I chose Not to have wedding. There was no point of me having a wedding because nobody on my side of the family going to show up. Mom refused to gave me her blessing, and she disown me after I got married.
    But I have ZERO regrets. He is an AWESOME AWESOME husband!! I feel very blessed to be his wife.

    If I can do it again. I still choose him, still choose to married him the exact same way.

    Super small. Maybe even just at the courthouse.
