You end up at the emergency room on your wedding night, and have to get 3 stitches! I stepped on a piece of glass (when I was of course barefoot on the dance floor after 4.5 hours of dancing), and stepped on a glass someone dropped. Lots of blood ensued, and my husband and dad took me straight to the hospital. Luckily, when you show up to the ER in a wedding dress, they take you in right away! But otherwise, I had an awesome time, only missed the last 15 min of the party, and we still left for our honeymoon on Sunday (although I needed crutches for the first 2 days!)
Just a little story for brides in the planning process and worried about things that might go wrong. As long as nothing major happens, just enjoy yourself and have an awesome time! Getting married to you FI is awesome, no matter what else happens!
Re: Don't complain about things going wrong until....
My mom was in the hospital on her wedding night (her brother's wife gave birth and the entire wedding party went to see the new baby). I really wish they could have taken pictures so they could have had a picture to remember it like you do.
Officially hitched as of 10/25/13
ETA: And I'm sure that glass-dropper feels awful!

I'm with you. I have an irrational fear of feet and I'm having a flip flop basket at my wedding because I will be god damned if there are bare feet wandering around.
OP - I too am glad that you have such a good attitude about this!
MY SIL damn near cut her middle and ring fingers on her left hand off the day before her wedding. She was using an electric trimmer to cut prairie grass for the ceremony space. They were late to the rehearsal because she was in the ER and she almost needed emergency surgery. She was determined to get the ring on the finger at the ceremony and took all the bandages off right before. I felt so bad for her. But now it's funny. We kept telling her that if she didn't want to marry him, she should have just said something instead of trying to cut her wedding ring finger off.
I wonder if anyone knows who Paul Harvey was.
You'll never be subject to a cash bar, gap, potluck wedding, or b-list if you marry a Muppet Overlord.
The superbowl commercial where they used his '"farmers" monologue last year made me cry.

Link to the story about the Flower Girl, it occurred in 2006.

Incidentally, she was 7, the bride's niece, and they were hit head on by a drunk driver. It was the mother, not the bride, who found her daughter's head and refused to let go. She would have been 14 this year.
As a follow up, the drunk driver was convicted of two counts of 2nd degree murder, got 18 years, and appealed in 2010. In 2011, the NY court shot him down 3 to 1. No idea if he appealed further.
WHAT IN THE SERIOUS FUCK
Holy shit that's sad.
Wow. Cuntwaffles just got real.
I'd sit in my cell and die of guilt and shame, not appealing a damn thing!
