Does anyone not particularly care
about the details of their wedding anymore?
I see threads "reliving" the day and I can't even remember half of this stuff.
maybe it's me (I am not sentimental about most things) but other than a few very personal moments...the rest is just whatever to me...
(I am not saying there is anything wrong with the threads...I am sure they are fine and fun and YAY!, my question is whether or not you care to think about it...)
maybe I am the wedding Scrooge
eta: this was fleshed out through other posts...and perhaps better explains what I mean
"oh no, of course the memories are great...but all whole "what was your this" or "who was your that"
I think I am just done dissecting the day. I did it during the planning...and now that is done and I truly had a BLAST, I just want to remember that.
in a lovely FUN FILLED glazed over haze...that my wedding was AWESOME. nuff said."

Re: Does anyone not particularly care
i still think about it from time to time... it was a great day. i think i'm thinking about it more now, becasue we have 2 friends who are engaged and planning now, plus 2 weddings to go this summer... so all that makes me keep thinking about ours more...
ETA: but i definitely am glad its over... it was stressful planning! the longer you're married the more you realize that its just one day, and theres sooo many more important things to look forward to

Re: Does anyone not particularly care
You aren't a wedding scrooge. One of my BF asked me whether or not she should get a private car for her and her DH from church to the RH---asking me if that time was "special"
I was still so nervous I don't even remember........
Somethings are VERY special, somethings now, I really don't care about. Details we argued about 48 hours before the big day are laughable to me. We even bring them up to each other when we need a laugh or when one is being sarcastic to the other.
"Oh, yeah, you are so cool. Why don't we add ANOTHER framed photo of you and your Aunt Tilly to the cocktail hour room"

Re: Does anyone not particularly care
Same here...I don't particularly care about the details anymore. I had an amazing wedding day, married a wonderful man and very fortunate to have the beautiful wedding that I had. I am dragging the video and album process for sure!
I do get excited when I get asked for opinions or about certain things from my wedding though!

Re: Does anyone not particularly care
It depends. I don't really care about a lot of the specific "details" of the day in terms of planning. I planned my wedding for 250 people in 5 months so you can see that I was not really into the whole "wedding planning process." I could care less about reliving details such as what color tables clothes we had!
However, I had an absolute blast at my wedding, and I don't mind reliving those memories! There were so many funny things that happened at my wedding (i.e. DH's 300lb friend doing a Russian jump in the middle of the circle), that I think my friends will be reliving those stories for many years!

I will add to this. We had a freaking ball!!!! We ate, we drank we danced the whole night away. This is what I will remember.

Re: Does anyone not particularly care
I got so much grief after putting all the deposits down and while planning the wedding that I was very close to cancelling it and just flying to las vegas to get married.

Re: Does anyone not particularly care
I actually still think about a couple of things I wish I did differently.
But that's because I'm a weirdo.

Now, I understand what you meant! To answer your question, yes, I am done caring about a lot of the details of my wedding.

Re: Does anyone not particularly care
I do remember things like songs we used, etc. but even then I wasn't into nitty gritty details - like what the table numbers would look like or how many roses were in my centerpieces, to me it wasn't important then, and as more time passses, it those little things seem even more significant. Many women get very wrapped up in these things, and its not right or wrong, its just the way some people are.

Re: Does anyone not particularly care
I was very into the details while planning, and was very into obsessing about everything for about 6 - 8 months after the wedding. But now, I am totally done. Dont get me wrong, I like to look at pictures once and a while and will occasionally think of a special memory. But overall, I don't really think about it or the details anymore...

Re: Does anyone not particularly care
Me. I just wanted to elope, my mom and MIL convinced me I'd be unhappy if I didn't have a wedding. So I did it for them. It was fun, and I did a lot to make sure it reflected DH and I, but it just wasn't our thing.
I was really detailed at the time, but I was doing event planning at work so it was easy enough, but now I have to go back and search LIW to see some of the specifics that people ask here. It was just like any other event I'd done, once it was over I didn't want to rehash every little detail again.
My 2 FSILs seem surprised that I don't remember most of it when they ask me what I did for mine, and they can't believe I didn't want the whole hoopla. It's kinda funny.

Re: Does anyone not particularly care
While I was planning my wedding I was obsessed about the detials and I was very much into it.
The funny thing was as soon as it was over, I could have cared less about it and i was glad that the planning was finally over. Don't get me wrong, I loved my wedding and I had the time of my life - I wouldn't have done anything differently (well maybe a couple of things, lol!), but I don't particulary care anymore now that it's over.

Re: Does anyone not particularly care
I am so over it myself. I find I can't even answer 90% of the questions because I truly don't remember vendors I used 9 years ago!!
I enjoyed the planning, I enjoyed the day, but I really can't remember much because it was so long ago. Heck...I don't remember last night for that matter.

Re: Does anyone not particularly care
I definitely think about my wedding day a lot and remember how much fun it was. I look at the pictures all the time. But as far as remembering the details, even though it was only 4 months ago I really don't remember all the details. I don't remember the feeling of walking down the aisle and my first dance and things like that (I can't wait for my video for that reason!!!). I do remember the vendors and all the wonderful things they did for us and if someone asks me for help with a vendor I will explain to them my experience, however I definitely am not concerned with what went wrong. My florist kind of messed up with my table CP's and everyone said "why didn't you call them and complain" but to be honest with you I really don't care anymore. It is over, the room looked beautiful and it did not ruin our wedding day, so why complain! I don't talk about our wedding to anyone except DH anymore unless someone asks. I am more than willing to help future brides out but as far as talking about our wedding day all the time to family and friends I don't do.

For me, its not so much that I dont care anymore, its that I just cant remember the details!
ditto! and funny thing is that my wedding was less than a year ago! i guess cause i'm so busy with work and DH and i are now "over" the whole wedding thing and we're onto new things like planning on having babies and looking at houses, etc. i guess you kind of "graduate" to new things once you're married.
