What would you change about your wedding?

“If there was something you could change about your wedding preparations (from the beginning till the big day and maybe even after), what would you change?”
Here are their replies. Hope you grooms- and brides-to-be learn from them!
"Double-check the entries for marriage license application. In our case, there were a lot of encoding errors. Good thing we were able to secure a copy before it was submitted to the church."
"1) i would have had someone distribute and mail the invitations and follow-up the reply cards. it was a bit crazy for me, and i ended up forgetting so many people. 2) a very good, funny reception party involving my relatives and younger cousins. they still enjoyed anyhow, but it could’ve been better…"
"I want to change a lot of things on my wedding: the flowers, the invitation, the guest list, the venue.. though everything went well even without a rehearsal. I thought that was cool. I wish I had more time to prepare. Time is essential for big events such as weddings. If you haven’t the time though, having a checklist and people helping you out are very important."
"I’d probably get a much better coordinator, and would have asked them to organize a more fun and interactive reception for the guests. i went crazy because the night before the wedding, they called me at the hotel (12am) to ask about song choices, which i’ve already given in advance. also, i wish i had thought about our ride after the reception, hehe. a few friends wanted to stay longer, but unfortunately i totally overlooked our ride option, so we had to go with my parents/relatives who wanted to leave early. It would've been weird if I took a cab in my bridal gown.
"" I could have hired or asked one of my friends to be the coordinator. I felt sorry for the secondary and principal sponsors that they have to march unprepared before the start of the wedding. At the reception, i had friends which travelled for almost 3 hours and have to wait for like 30 minutes before chairs and table were assigned to them.
These inspired me to be the wedding coordinator on my kumare’s wedding and corrected almost all the “mistakes”/bloopers i have observed on my wedding."
"If there’s one thing i could do-over, I would probably change the reception programme, hehe. it turned out fun and formal (because most everything was pretty traditional), which was fine. [In the future] i’ll try to make it more fun and less formal.
