The Grateful Wed, and a Locker Room Switcheroo

The best moments are the ones you frame, but the difficult ones matter, too. In our real weddings series, we ask couples to share their wedding highs and lows.

BEST WEDDING MOMENT


Honestly, as cheesy as it sounds, the best thing about our wedding day was just the love we felt for each other, and for our family and friends. It was overwhelming. I’ve never been more grateful for what I have than on my wedding day.

WORST WEDDING MOMENT


Not realizing, until the night before the wedding, that my bridesman wouldn’t be able to get ready with the other bridesmaids in the women’s locker room at the venue because (duh) he’s a man. Luckily, after some scrambling, we arranged to switch locations with the groomsmen and found a new place for them to get ready. Not a big deal under any other circumstances, but not exactly what you want to deal with the night before your wedding.
