Only one to think my wedding day wasn’t the best day ever?

Am I the only one to think that my wedding day wasn’t the best day ever?

Don’t get me wrong, it was a lovely day and I was over the moon to be finally marrying the man I had been with for 8 years.

All I see (admittedly, mainly on social media) is people describing it as the best day ever and saying they loved every single second of it.

I have no issue with what others post, but sometimes feel weird for not feeling like this.

Mine was perfect - small, intimate, just lovely. We split up after 12 years. Wedding day is one day, the rest is the important bit!!

I never felt more alone on my wedding day, my bridesmaids were too busy getting themselves ready to help with my dress, I had to calm my father down as he was more nervous walking down the aisle than me (!!) my husband was so nervous when he said his vows he said them quickly and without feeling, my mum accidentally ripped my dress, another guest spilt beer down it, I remember asking a waitress for some water as hadn’t drunk all day, the weather was cold and the guests were complaining,... etc etc. It wasn’t great but massive relief it was over! I’ve enjoyed actual married life more than the actual wedding which is what counts

Most of these stories I can relate to so well.
I’m just glad I have no regrets with who I married.

Worst and only shouting argument I have ever had with anyone at my rehearsal dinner (with my dad). Family awful in the lead up. Didn't sleep night before. Getting married was brilliant, day relaxed and fun, but no one ever opened the nice bottle of champagne the venue put in front of us, I never got more than a sip of a drink all day, my train got muddy and one of the ushers got drunk and creepy towards me. Anyone who assumes the day is all about the couple will be sadly disappointed.

We had 200 guests and I organised it all including preparing all the food. While it was amazing and absolute fun, and even just 2 weekends ago somebody compared a wedding they'd just been to as 'of course it wasn't a patch on yours' and went reminiscing... As someone who loves to get things just right for everybody else that's great even though it meant me being totally knackered by 8pm . In hindsight I'd have got more comfortable shoes and worried less about them matching the dress! Or worn them for weeks till they were totally comfortable.

Wedding was 22 years ago so it's great people still remember it !

Our wedding day was a lovely day but like others, I think I felt too responsible for everyone else's enjoyment to enjoy it properly. The moment when time seemed to stand still and nothing really mattered was when DH and I said our vows, and that was magical.

Ours was ok but I didn't enjoy it as much because it was only 4 of us and 3 got blind drunk. I ended up with 3 drunks. At least our was cheap. I also didn't like my dress.
