What (if anything) would you change about your wedding?

Well the really smart thing to do would have been to taken the money my parents offered instead.  But we were really young and didn't realize how much that would have been.  Granted, the wedding cost a lot more than we anticipated.  That's because when I told my parents I wanted a nice wedding, we were on different wavelengths.  To me that meant a beautiful dress, cake etc but not a huge amount of guests  To them that meant inviting everyone we ever knew and all the distant relatives etc.  Dh and I were thinking around a hundred people, not three hundred.  

Anyway we were young.  We should have taken the money.  Or at least made it clear that we wanted fewer people, but spent more on the dress, flowers etc.  Don't get me wrong, it was a beautiful wedding.  But not what we had in mind.  DD is semi engaged and she does not want a big wedding and so it will probably small and simple.  Maybe 50-75 people and in a park etc with a small reception at a restaurant etc.  But we'll see what they want when they are formally engaged.  

ETA as far as things, I should have gone with the dress I wanted.  It was $300 more than what my parents had said was the limit.  I should have spent the $300 myself.  I kick myself when I look at the pictures.  

My friend's MIL did that too.  She was told that it was inappropriate and was asked to pick something else but nope...she showed up in a long white gown to her son's wedding.

Wouldn't have had the big wedding.  Well it wasn't really big. 100 invited and only about 60 showed. I had originally thrown out the idea of just doing like cake and drinks after the wedding but my husband said none of his family would come if there wasn't booze.  Well the joke was on him. We ended up ending the reception early.  We were all just sitting around talking and at the end of the night none of his family was still there, but all my aunts,  uncles, cousins etc were.
