If you had the chance to do it all again with your wedding and your marriage, would you? Would you marry the same person? Would you change anything? I was thinking about blogs the other day in the car when I heard the song The Way We Were and of course on of the lines echoed these thought. If we had to do it all again, would we?
If I had to do it all again, yes I would make changes. No, not my darling husband. That’s non negotiable. There is no way I’d ever want to swap him. Recently reading some of the forums it seemed some people regret having married the person they did or even getting married at all and are finding it all too hard. I can’t say that There’s never been a day or a moment I wish I’d chosen differently. Even if Mick and I have been in the middle of an argument, I wouldn’t swap him.
What I would change are minor details, like things I did on our wedding day or decisions made about the wedding day. For example, I would have ignored convention and not have cared about whether there were the same number of groomsmen and bridesmaids. Mick would have had his friend as best man and I’d have still had the two friends I wanted as bridesmaids rather than one as I did.
Families are often the ones that put pressure on to invite people the bride and groom don’t really want because they’re expected to. There are people if we had to do it all again we wouldn’t have invited, people that were invited out of obligation rather than because we really wanted them there.
I wouldn’t have changed the date because it was special to us or anything of the really important things. What about you? If you could go back and rewrite the past, would you change anything about your marriage or your wedding day?
