Sarah Jessica Parker's wedding day regret

Updated: 2006-09-15 10:45

Sarah Jessica Parker admits that she made her greatest fashion faux pas - not on the red carpet, but while walking down the aisle.

"I wore black on my wedding day, and I really regret that," Parker says in the October issue of Marie Claire. "I was too embarrassed to get married in white, and both Matthew [Broderick, her husband of nine years] and I were reluctant to have people pay so much attention to us. Which is ridiculous, because that's when you can relish the attention, when it's natural. We treated it like it was a big party on a Monday night, and I regret it."

The 41-year-old actress also confessed that she has difficulty balancing motherhood (she has a 3-year-old son, James Wilke) and being a good wife to Broderick. “I fall short of being good at both, not infrequently, but I assume it's like golf: You can never master it, and you're in competition with yourself,” she says. “With my son, it's constantly learning, failing, triumphing, being befuddled and totally in love."
