Funny Wedding Stories

[Deleted User]

Do any of you have any funny/cute stories from your wedding day?

Mine are:

- While I was getting ready, our impromptu flower girl, was standing in the back with me and it was VERY obvious how nervous/anxious I was.  She very seriously said "Crystal, are you nervous?" I of course said "Yes, very much so" and her response was "Oh, I've done this before.  Don't worry, it will be okay."  She was TOO cute

-When we were feeding each other the cake, I accidentally bit DH's thumb - we have some pretty hilarious pictures from that moment that I will have to share some time. 

-I hadn't eaten at all the day of the wedding so by the time it was over and we were heading out to Hot Springs we both realized we were completely starving.  Guess where we had dinner on our wedding night?  Burger King.  Yep, we're klassy like that.  We laughed for hours over that one.  DH did the whole redneck thing while we were in the drive-thru "Yeah, lets super-size it for the little lady, it's our weddin' day". 

-I had this bright idea of buying teal colored "wedding panties" to match my shoes.  Unfortunately, I completely disregarded the fact that my dress was WHITE.  Right as I was about to walk out of the house, Robbin said "Oh my...when you bend over I can totally see the color of your panties!"  Too late by then!

Our officiant called me a micro-manager in the first 5 minutes of the ceremony.

Which...if you know me...I was the laziest most laid back bride.

He also had a whole Jesus thing going on. People kept asking us, "Did you want your ceremony to be that religious? It didn't seem like you guys at all!"

That's b/c it's really NOT like us and the officiant just did what HE wanted to do and completely disregarded our wishes. 

YAY.

Eh. It will always bug me a little, but we ended up married, so that's what's MOST important!

FI and I have talked about ordering a pizza on our wedding night, so I love your BK story.

Obviously don't have my own story yet, but have one from my MOH's mom's wedding.  I think I've mentioned it before, but I'll give a little background on my MOH again...my MOH is 42 and mentally challenged (functions about 6-12 yrs old, depending on her mood, situation, etc) and is a beautiful woman, inside and out.  She had a very deadly form of cancer when she was 4 and was a patient at St. Jude's.  To this day, they still don't completely understand why she survived (and they're still running tests and research on her to help other kids).  The treatments left her with some brain damage, but God made up for it and gave her other talents (she does the absolutely most amazing counted cross-stitch work, among other things). 

So anyway - her mom was left a widow while my MOH was still undergoing treatment.  She met her now husband a couple years later and they decided to form their own little brady bunch when MOH was about 8 or 9.  She was the youngest and they had her be their flower girl.  They didn't really give her instructions, just told her to toss the flower petals.  Her mom said she & her dad her a bunch of roaring laughter so her dad stuck his head into the church and told her mom "your daughter is stealing the show" - she stuck her head out to see my MOH stopping at each row and taking a fist full of petals and throwing them down the aisle at all of the people.  They said it's the most priceless memory from their wedding...we're going to have her teach my flower girl what to do.

HOMG, I'm officially in love with your hubby. In a completely platonic sort of way. LMAO

[Deleted User]

Paige - We laughed so hard about it.  But man, we were starving and it was the first place we seen! 

Desert - Yes that's the most important thing!  I remember this story though... I'm glad our minister did what we wanted - PHEW!

Angie - That story is TOO cute

oceana - I'm officially in love with him too.  We are completely hilarious together - we always say that we're never really going to have friends because people would probably think we're too weird.

Um, I seriously tried to talk FI into stopping at Chipotle before the ceremony in our dress and tux and he wouldn't fall for it.

::pout::

As for a funny wedding story...my MOH just got married and me, her BFF and my FSIL all snuck upstairs to their hotel suite during the reception to decorate. Funny stories abound...

a) BFF, me and MOH's two little sisters (11 and 13) are at the grocery store at, like, midnight the night before the wedding buying supplies for the suite decoration, and (as a joke) I put a can of whipped cream, a jar of sprinkles, and a jar of chocolate sauce in the cart. I then spent the next hour explaining to the 11-year-old why she didn't really need to know what those were for.

LC: "Oceana, why do they need ice cream stuff?"
Me: "For ice cream sundaes."
LC: "But you're not buying ice cream."
Me: "Ummmm....the hotel is providing it for them."
LC: "But they're having cake at the reception. That's a lot of sugar."
Me: "Oh well."
LC: "No really, what's it for?"
Me: "If you want to be a bridemaid for me in six months, you'll stop asking questions."
LC: "Only if I get to ride in a limo"
Me: ::facepalm::

b) So, night of wedding rolls around, and we've snuck up to decorate. I get a text from one of the little sisters saying, "Come down quick. Bride wants to know where you are, I told her you're not feeling good in bathroom." So, I have to run back down to the reception and fend off questions from the bride about if I've had too much to drink or if I'm getting sick. ::headdesk::

Jeter - I LOVE the BK thing! Awesome.

A good friend of mine had her fave pizza place deliver to their hotel room. I'm totally going to have to do something like that.

[Deleted User]

Hahah - that's too funny oceana  

[Deleted User]

Owl - It totally wasn't the plan at all, but by the time we got on the road to Hot Springs, it was too late and we were too hungry to worry about a fancy restaurant.  At least we have it for a funny memory though!

oceana919

Yeah, that was also the wedding in which no one mentioned to the bride's grandmother that we were trying to jerry rig the bouquet toss for my bro's girlfriend to catch it. She bumrushed people to get the bouquet. Go Nanny! LOL

No word of a lie...I just realized we can see a McDonald's from our reception...LATE NIGHT BIG MAC ATTACK!!!

[Deleted User]

Whoa - Go Grandma!  I hope they got pics of that one Oceana.

Paige - You laugh now, but I bet you $$ you'll end up going to that McDonalds!

Great stories!

From our wedding:

The first reading in our ceremony was from Genesis (the creation story). After the priest read the gospel, he started his homily like this: in the beginning, God created Adam and Eve. Adam went to God and said, "father, why did you make woman with such lovely curves" to which God replied, "so you would love her." Then Adam asked "why did you make woman with such long lovely hair?" to which God replied, "so you would love her." Then Adam asked, "but Father, why did you make woman so stupid?" [at this point apparently my sister and I both whipped our heads around to look at him indignantly (we were kneeling)] to which God replied "my son, that was so that she would love you."

We all cracked up at that point.

[Deleted User]

Wow KD!  That's pretty hilarious - did you have any clue he was going to say something like THAT?! 

babybchbum

Pastor: "...And T you will leave your wife and mother to join with your wife and become one...."

We didn't hear that until we watched the wedding video MIL took.

It is quite amusing to look back on

Nope! I was shocked when he said that because he's a really cool priest. He really wanted to make sure we had the exact ceremony we wanted! It was good though. It totally took the edge off.

tafft1

Oh these are some great stories haha ! Jeter..seriously I am totally loving your husband even more now if that was possible !

Oh story time huh..let's see there were a few gems.

First let's just put this out there I am a total dyslexic when it comes to right and left , yet days and even hours before the wedding I was giving my hubby a hard time saying how he needed to be sure to put the finger on my left hand and not to mess it up. So what happens ? *I* grab the wrong hand..He notices and teases me AT THE ALTAR NO LESS , lol and I just was too happy to care and just got the correct hand and we went on - but it was amusing none the less.

During the ceremony after the exhange of rings the minister performing our ceremony puts a hand on Chris's shoulder and just takes a deep breath and says "Few words of advice for you my friend.."Yes Dear" - learn those words fast and your life will be much easier" - We all cracked up laughing and it just really was funny.

Not sure if this part is "funny" - but after the reception dinner and everyone parted ways several of us went to a local casino - since we were married in Tahoe and Reno was just over the border - I spent the next hours in my wedding dress and it was amazing and I even got carded at the craps table because they thought I was underage..I am 32 so it made my night!

These stories are great lol! The only thing I've got from my wedding is that DH forgot to bring the marriage license to the church : P

Not technically a wedding story, but when I asked my sister to be my MOH, the first words from her mouth were "You had to ASK?" Not that she assumed I would choose her as my MOH, but that I could have flat-out demanded that she do it and she would have said yes. It was a pretty funny moment, we were all laughing about it later.
