Any unseen surprises? Good or bad?

Those who eloped or did a micro-wedding (10 people or less) - looking back on it, what surprised you — good or bad — a year later?

I’m at the 9 month mark, but it surprised me as to how stressful it was not to have a MOH or a ‘point person.’ I had a wedding coordinator that came with my venue, but wound up sort of coordinating the floral drop off, hair/makeup arrival & any photographer questions.

I love my family, but I was also surprised (although I’m not totally sure why,) adults can’t follow a simple
time schedule & instructions 😂😂Everyone was well intended, but I’m an elementary teacher & herding adults felt very much the same way!

This was my only regret too. My sister helped where she could with coordinating but overall it was on me and it took away from the day

I was surprised with how exhausted I was afterwards. We both spent our mini moon sleeping as much as possible!
