The premise of the show is that wedding planner David Tutera shows up three weeks before a couple's big day and changes whatever he wants - the venue, the bridal gown, the food. Typically he expands on the concept of the bride and makes it into something amazing.
It's a fun show to watch - and with my anniversary coming up next month - I've been thinking about my wedding. I wasn't one who knew from girlhood what theme or decor I wanted for my wedding. After my husband and I got engaged, we set a date in September. Because I loved the fall season, the only thing I was definite on was having a picture with the fall leaves. Not a lot of leaves have changed here by the end of September, so getting that picture took some hiking - in my bridal gown - but we got some great fall shots.
I didn't really care what the colors were or the flowers - just something that tied into fall. If I could go back, I would probably have more of an opinion and maybe picked a different dress. But the day was amazing - it couldn't have gone any better - including riding away from our reception in an old-fashioned car!
Have you watched My Fair Wedding? What wedding concepts would you change about your big day, if you could go back? If a wedding is in the future, what sort of theme do you want?

I haven't watched that show but it sounds fun. I'm sooo impatient for the third season of Downton Abbey, though!
I'm not married, so I'm assuming a wedding is in the future at some point. Haha! But, like you, I don't really have all kinds of details and hard core desires for the big day. I just know I want M&Ms at the reception. :)
I was never one of those girls who dreamed about her wedding either.
But now I know for certain I'd have an outdoor wedding.
I've even considered renewing our vows just so we could do this.

Love your picture :) And 5 more months? I don't think I can wait!
That's a fun show. Your wedding picture is gorgeous. I wish I'd taken some outside.
I've got to say that I don't think I would have changed a thing at my wedding. It went off perfectly.
You look soooo beautiful in the picture, Stacy. I love how your hair blends with the colors of the leaves...nice shot! Happy Anniversary soon!
I haven't seen My Fair Wedding, but watched an episode each of Bridezillas, and Say Yes to the Dress, with my daughter. Gotta say that weddings seem to be getting out of hand with some people...
Can't wait for Dontown Abbey!
Melissa - I love it - M&Ms at the reception! That would be cute. :)
Wendy - A wedding outside sounds lovely.
Angela - I know! It seems like forever to wait. And then the season seems to race by.
Julie - Thanks! It was worth the climb.
Loree - I haven't watched Bridezillas or Say Yes to the Dress, but I agree that some people take the wedding prep a little too far. But it makes for great conflict. :)
Lovely picture, Stacy! We did a simple wedding, and I wouldn't change a thing about it. :)
I have NOT seen My Fair Wedding, but the premise sounds fun!
And you, Stace, are/were gorgeous. LOVE that shot and I think the dress is very pretty.
Sarah - I think simple is perfect! :)
Ali - It's a fun show to watch to unwind. :)
Oh, Stacey, what a beautiful bride you were :)
And I can relate - I was fairly young when I married and had little to no opinion about anything. Watching my sisters plan their weddings made me a little envious that I didn't put more thought into my own wedding plans :)
Congrats on your upcoming anniversary!
Thanks, Kim! I had strong opinions about some things and then didn't really care at all about others. But isn't that true of most brides? :)
I haven't watched that show, but it sounds good! I was married 11 years ago and I had put some thought into my wedding, so there's little I would change. Ironically, my mom and mother-in-law both had "rainbow" weddings, where each bridesmaid wore a different color, so I did the same thing. My bouquet brought all their colors together. I loved it! If I could change one thing, though (and this may sound silly), I would have taken a picture from our table during the meal - so that I could forever have a snapshot of all our guests in one place. How often is all your family and friends in one room?
Gabrielle - I don't think that picture sounds silly at all! I think that's a great idea to get a shot of everyone who came to celebrate with you.
