Many of us dream of our wedding days since we were little girls. In our imagination, everything goes smoothly and perfectly on the big day. Now that we're adults, we know that's simply not how things go, especially on a big day like a wedding day when we're already putting so much pressure on ourselves to make everything perfect. People can plan to a T, and something is still bound to go wrong. Even people who have wedding planners end up being unhappy with something small, like the color of the flowers not matching the rest of the color scheme. In an AskWomen post, women exchanged things they regret about their wedding day, and apparently, there's a lot of different things that could go wrong in different aspects. Scroll down to see what you can be changed if you have your wedding coming up so you don't make the same mistakes. Keep in mind that no matter how much you plan, nothing in life is perfect, and it would be better if you just do like Elsa from Frozen and let it go.

    Font - Petite_Giraffe_ 1 day ago Eloping - I'm such an introvert and had a panic attack before the wedding. I had to take a Xanax to stop freaking out. It had nothing to do with my husband - everything to do with the people. Too many eyes on me. Only good thing that came out of the wedding is I'm still married to my best friend (20 years in August). I hate even looking at wedding pictures.

    The bride and groom should try to be comfortable in the setting they choose to get married in.

    Font - nox-lumos04 2 days ago I regret not doing a first look - I thought it would be more meaningful/romantic to see each other for the first time coming down the isle. But my husband was too nervous in front of our guests that he had a forced composure look on his face. I wish we'd had a moment to ourselves beforehand so I could have see his genuine reaction.

    Font - N_white_D 2 days ago Making it a destination wedding with very few ppl. Woulda much rather made it better for few ppl than average for a lot of ppl. Having a sizable wedding is a waste of time, money, and energy!

    Font - p1zzarena 1 day ago I wish I had mine closer to home so some of my family could attend. We had a destination wedding and only my SO's family came, because my family is poor.

    Font - natnat111 2 days ago I regret having a big wedding and not a small intimate one. Too much money wasted and too many acquaintances I don't really care about.
