I don’t know if this thread belong here but I would love to redo my wedding.
Things I would change:
I would wear white instead of red
I would have it at the beach at sunset
I would get a better photographer
I would REFUSE to wear a nath
I would not wear a dupata on the head
I would wear either one joomar or teeka (I think a big tikka)
I would do tons of outdoor pictures
I would get married in the summer (instead of the snowy winter)
I would love to have music in my bridal suite (no ipods back then)
I would wear sari next day (valima)
I would actually eat my wedding dinner
I would not sit on stage and walk around and talk to everyone
Things I wouldn’t change:
I would still wear fake eye lashes
I would still go for neutral makeup
I would still have my wedding cake (three tiered white cake)
I would still dance at my mehndi without caring what anyone said
I would still have my rukhsati from my house
I would still have my nikkah at the masjid with the same Imam
I would still have my dad’s speech at the nikkah
I would marry the same guy
I would change my wedding stage decor.
I would not get married unless there was atleast a day between the wedding and valima.
I would change the jewelry I wore on my valima.
I would actually cut my own wedding cake and eat it.
I would change one thing and one thing only… my outfits!!! :hinna:
After looking at the bridal pics thread, i realise that going for white and ivory on both days was pretty boring…my dresses were classy, but i wish i had worn something with more spice!.. it’s the only reason that i’m thinking of having a huge party for our next big anniversary… so i can wear a proper desi wedding outfit… or ten
I will definitely hand over the video camera to another kid so the grand total of 10 minutes wedding video that we have, 5 of those would not have camera pointed towards the ceiling

i'd wear a gharara on both days without listening to the ladies who said, haiii, same type of outfit both days? oh no!
i loved my wedding lehenga but i think it would have been even more beautiful as a gharara.
and if i had to keep the lehenga, i would change my shirt to be longer in heavier silk.
have no idea who cut my cake. someone else obviously really wanted to do it. i asked my mom about it later who also doenst know who cut the cake but she tells me everyone ate it after we left and everyone enjoyed it very much
I would wear dresses and jewelery (from hubby side) of my own choice
I would get a better photographer
I would wear a nath on barat only
I would get married in the spring
I would actually eat my wedding dinner
I would walk around and talk to everyone
I would insist on choosing my own dress for the nikkah
I would not let my hairdresser pull all my hair back so tight on the nikkah
I would bring my own imam instead of letting FIL emotionally manipulate everyone into using his brother
On walima I wouldn't wait for all the late family members to show up before doing the entrance into the reception hall
I wouldn't give the walima location as high a head count as we ended up paying for about 10 no-shows
I would hire a photographer to take some nice pics of our civil ceremony as well as the nikkah/walima
Things I wouldn't change:
I wouldn't change my makeup on either day
I wouldn't change anything about my walima look, including not wearing a dupatta
I would still dance at my walima, probably even more!
I wouldn't change the format we used for the walima----reception-dinner-harbor cruise with dancing
I would still have the nikkah at hubby's family home
I would still get married on my birthday!
I would still spend my walima walking around and talking with everyone!
