Wedding Stories

C'mon ladies, I know we all have witnessed funny and horrible moments at weddings. Anything happen at your wedding? At a wedding you attended?

Here's mine:

Several things happened at my friend's wedding. I was one of her bridesmaids. First, the flower girl started freaking out before the cereomony and we thought she was going to be sick. Luckily she calmed down and was able to walk, poor thing! Second, there was a problem with the sanctuary lighting and every time someone stepped on a power cord, the lights went out before we all had to walk down. The bride started to have a melt down, but her dad got her to chill out. They got it fixed and the lights came back on. Next, the other bridesmaid that was supposed to stand in front of me almost tripped on her dress and almost fell back on me. I think the worst part was the minister. He was a grouchy old man. I think he was the groom's grandfather. He totally took over during the rehersal and wouldn't let the poor coordinator get a word in edgewise. What topped it off was that he couldn't talk so well because of his new dentures AND he forgot the recital of their vows! It had to be the shortest ceremony ever. Not much happened during the reception. A piece of cake slipped off a tier and landed on one of the girls who was slicing the cake.

After witnessing all of that, I am totally going to make sure our minister remembers our vows! I swear it had to be the most boring wedding ever. I want to party after mine!

I have a horrible moment from a friend's wedding.

The ceremony went off without a hitch, luckily her dad was the pastor so he knew he had to do it right. The lovely couple was in the dining area and the bride asked for a glass of wine, red wine.

Somebody gave her the glass and she was doing fine. She then walked behind a table, tripped over a leg and spilled red wine on the front of her dress. We tried to get the stain out, but nothing worked. She didn't seem to devastated, but I know if bugged her because throughout the night she would look down at her dress and just kinda sigh.

I have some from my wedding, iT'S LONG

Well my Dad and I got in a little fight and didn't talk till a Month after the wedding over a limo. He got a limo for him and his family. The DH and I left in my car. We didn't care but all our guests were shocked that we didn't leave in the limo. Got asked for week why we didn't. Everyone thinks its strange my Dad got himself a limo but wouldn't get us one. My Step brother and brother got in a fight about it in the bathroom. More of an argument. That involved a lot more about the wedding than just the limo. My Step brother at the wedding rubbed it in my face that they had a limp and we didn't. Then told my brother he knew he hurt my feelings and that he thought that was funny. 

At the rehearsal the minister didn't show up. We freak out and we can't find her number. We finally get ahold of her and find out her secretary didn't tell her I wanted her there. We didn't even know if she show up to the wedding. We found out months later that her secretary had stolen 40,000 from the church. I'm positive they got at least $100 from us. That lady was shady. My check for the rehearsal for the minister was cashes like the day after I gave it to her secretary. We got out money back but now I feel bad because the church has to close now.   The minister is such a nice lady too. It's so sad.

Then at the RD my FIL spilled some soda. Well my Aunt mopped it up, then my mom walked over it. She slipped and hit her head on our floor. My mom has a bad elbow from a fall years before. So my Aunt the nurse and her husband the cop/EMT run into action. My Mom had to go to bed with an arm sling. Her lip was busted. Luckily the RD was at my house. My mom was all embarrassed, that ended the party. The next day, My mom had a busted lip and it was purple and swollen. Her arm was swollen. My mom is such a trooper she just sucked it up and wouldn't let me know how much pain she actually was in.

Then at my wedding during the reception my uncle was watching a mini tv of the cowboys game at his table. I didn't find out till after our honeymoon when my DH family was asking me why my uncle was watching tv at a wedding. What was he watching? That was fun to find out. I told my dad who was sitting next to him why he didn't tell him that was kind of rude. My dad just told me I should take it up with my uncle.

Nope all the weddings I have been to have been BORING. The only intersting wedding was my SIL's and she had my DH's ex girlfriend there.  And I mean recent ex-gf.  Oh my Bff's wedding, hardly no one showed up.  Thats kinda sad though, but it was because she sent out invites a week before the wedding.

I have two.

1. My best friend was dragged to a wedding for a friend of her dad's. Since I had also met the couple, they said it was fine if I went along too to keep my friend from being bored to death (we were probably in about 9th grade at the time). So we got to this wedding, and it was taking place in the woods behind their house, which we thought was kind of cool until we got back there to see what the space looked like.

Apparently, where they had their ceremony was the same place where the groom had his friends over to hang out and drink beer. There were beer cans everywhere, and the place smelled like cheap cigarettes. The bride wore some sort of blue velour sweat suit, and the groom stood at the "altar" holding a beer the entire time. 

2. At a friend's wedding a few years ago, the best man changed out of his tux and into a ripped pair of jeans and a t-shirt before the toasts. During his toast, he looked over at the groom and said "*grooms name* are you SURE this is what you really want?!" while making a face. We all laughed, thinking it was a joke. He followed it up by "nah man I'm not playing... are you seriously sure SHE is what you want?"
