Some big regrets here!

A new survey has found that 53% of people would make changes to their wedding day if they could go back and redo it.

That shows a whopping amount of regret for decisions, spending, guests, and so on!

2,000 people were surveyed for the research commissioned by Shawbrook Bank Personal Loans.

It also found the things people most regretted about their wedding, and made a list of top regrets.

Themes that came up a lot in terms of people's regrets involved guests and money.

A lot of people said they regretted not spending enough time with guests, while others actually said they cared too much about pleasing guests.

Many married couples felt they didn't make the most of the day, and wish they'd worried less.

While some have specific regrets about their own wedding attire, and the venue's decoration.
