I am not one for regrets. I usually make a decision and then don't look back. However, as I've grown older and wiser I have learned many things I wish I had known in my younger years. I wouldn't change much if I could go back, but there are a few things I'd like a "do-over":
-have some real color on my wedding dress. Like red roses with swirly vines up the bottom, or black scroll designs with deep blue crystals. Come on... white? Ya, I had silver beading which was awesome, but I would totally add color.
- I wouldn't have wasted my time with some of the guys I dated in college. Ya, they were cute, but sheesh! Ever heard of a brain or a backbone, guys? Come on!
- I would have spend the money to get a video camera when my son was a baby. Ya, we were poor then, but to have those moments captured on video would have been sooo worth it.
- I wouldn't have let that tree grow.
- Perhaps sitting on the hood of my friend's car while she drove waaaaaay too fast, then slammed on the brakes while I flew off, skidding on my hands and knees wasn't the best use of judgement on my part.
- I would just tell that guy in high school "I really like you- let's just cut the crap and go out, k?" I never admitted to ANYONE that I liked him. It would have been fun!
- Ultra platinum blonde.... well, not my best color. Let's just leave it at that.
However, there are many many things I am glad I did, and would do over again if given the chance. (And many many things too humiliating to put on here that I did I wish I'd never done, but I guess you'll all see that stuff on my video in heaven. Just wait, it'll be very entertaining, to say the least!)

I totally wish I could redo my whole wedding. I wouldn't have fallen for the reception. I would have had a back yard casual party with a short and flirty wedding dress...with beautiful flowers in my hair....no stupid bouqet(spelling?) with people who really mattered to me. Rather than standing in line shaking my parent's friends hands.
I think everyone regrets something about their wedding. Hopefully, not who they married.
I've started writing a book about the stupid things I've done. I'm just hoping someday my progeny will be entertained.
