I have only one regret about my wedding. No, it’s not the man I married nor the vows I took. It’s not the date we chose nor the location. It’s not the timeline nor the food. My only regret about my wedding is that we didn’t hire a videographer.
At the time, we felt like hiring someone to film the wedding would just be a wasted expense; a luxury. We hired a very talented professional wedding photographer and felt confident in that decision. We knew that the wedding photos would be the only thing that would really last after the wedding, and so we splurged on two photographers (which wasn’t customary at the time) and the leather bound album.
While I’m so grateful we have photos from our wedding (and I do look at the album), what’s really missing from my memory are all the wonderful things our guests said and all the other sounds of the day. I don’t remember who stood up to toast us, let alone a word of what they said. I don’t remember the music our friend wrote for our processional or what our officiant said during our ceremony. I would love to see how people enjoyed our wedding while we weren’t with them. Did they have fun? What did they laugh about? Who did they meet? What did they feel and think about the day?
