A few of my coworkers and I were watching a bunch of wedding fail videos, because a coworker is getting married and why not.  Which led us to search for other wedding related fails.  Here is a link to some proposal fails and Here is link to some wedding fails. 

Anyone have any videos or funny stories of any wedding related fails?


*title change so that we can share stories of any type of life fail*

    Hmm....I didn't have anything happen to me on our wedding day that I would say would be a fail but I did a couple things at some of our wedding events that was definitely a fail lol.

    First, at my Bachelorette party, DH told me a few weeks earlier that my sister's now husband bought an engagement ring to propose to her with that year. This made me excited but I kept the secret up until I got plastered drunk during my bachelorette and I drunkenly told her that she was going to get married lol. She was excited but I felt bad afterwards.

    Second, this is more of an etiquette fail on my part than anything else but I purposely didn't send RSVP's to my sisters or my parents because I knew they were coming to the wedding no matter what so why send them an RSVP lol? My sister texted me when she got my invite saying that I forgot to send her one and I was like, "Are you not sure if you're coming?!?" lol She was my Maid of Honor. I sent one to everyone else just not her.

    @southernpeach89 - my sister/MOH put my save the date in the recycling as soon as she got it. Never hung it on her fridge or anything. I asked why and she said "I already know when your wedding is". So I said "ok, I guess you don't need an invite then either". I'm only 25% kidding haha.

    I don't know if this was a fail as much as two issues averted the day of the wedding.  I heard the first story second hand because no one wanted to tell me on the day of and make me worry (which was sweet but I certainly wouldn't have gone all crazy about it).  

    H but his brother in charge of one thing...the rings.  Of course we get to the venue and everyone is getting ready to walk down the aisle when the photographer (thank God for that man) asked to see the rings so he could take a picture of them together.  H's brother turned white as a ghost, freaked out because he had obviously forgotten the rings and then H freaked out.  H's brother got a taxi to go like 70 miles per hour in the city of Chicago (he promised him a ginormous tip) to get to where he left the rings, wait while he got them and drive like a lunatic back to the ceremony.  It started a little late but I was none the wiser why until afterwards.

    Also at the reception, H and I had been practicing our first dance (a tango...its our favorite) for months.  We took lessons, I practiced in my wedding shoes, H practiced in his, I practiced in a large hoop skirts, etc.  While our guests were at the cocktail hour H and I were in a different room just soaking in the moment and decided to practice one more time. Aaaaaand the one thing I didn't account for?  The tulle of my dress.  Every back step, of which there are many in the tango, I took my heel got caught in the tulle of my skirt.  Thank God someone had tons of safety pins on them. We pinned up the tulle and the dress looked a little funny but not bad, did the dance and unpinned the tulle right after.  Crisis (and broken neck) averted.  :)

    Here's my personal story, happened two years ago. 

    The night before my best friend's wedding the guys were drinking at the hotel bar.  They saw a cop walk through the lobby and thought it would be funny to pretend the groom was arrested.  The cop went along with it, cuffed the groom, and let them take pictures.  Which of course they sent to all of the girls since we weren't at the hotel.  After they sent the pictures the cop went to take the groom out of the cuffs and realized he didn't have a key on him.  He had to call for back up.  So the groom was hand cuffed in the hotel lobby where all their guests were staying until someone showed up with a key.  While waiting several guests the groom had never met, walked by; so he got to meet several family members while in hand cuffs.

    All of the guys thought it was hysterical.  The girls, not so much.  I didn't sleep at all that night, because I was doing everything in my power to calm down my best friend.  To add more salt to the wound, the best man decided to share the story during his toast.

    Speaking of clumsy ....

    Last night after a shower I was laying on my stomach on the bed reading {as I normally do} We recently got a new frame and it's much lower than our old one.
    So reading and swinging my feet, I whacked the top of my foot so hard on my side table I was convinced I broke something. Hurt all night, but today it's better-ish. Def not broken but not great shape.

    Idiot self.

    I've shared this story before - but one of my boyfriends brothers friends got married in cabo. Groom & one or two friends thought it would be fun to leave the resort, in the middle of the night before the wedding (telling only one drunk person) to go into town (aka buy drugs). Cabbie drove them into the middle of no where, a bunch of other cab drivers showed up and beat the shit out of them, took their money and dropped them at the hospital. So, its now the morning of the wedding, no one has seen the groom or friends, no one knows where they are, except that they might have gone into town. They are frantically searching, someone decides to call the hospital and they are there. The groom had a broken nose and had to get some stitches. They still kept the schedule and got married, except that he was holding tissue over his nose and would take it down for pictures. But like, black eyes, broken nose, stitches, in their wedding pictures. He kept leaving the reception because he was in so much pain, and the bride was pissed. Def the biggest fail I've heard of lol.

    I don't have much experience in this category, as I haven't seen many wedding fails that I can really remember. I did however read a blog once in which a girl was proposed to at an Arby's (totally not the worst part), but they were extremely backwards in how they approached things, and her fiance wasn't allowed to put the ring on her finger, so her dad had to do the proposal for her fiance AND he also put the ring on. Something about that just creeped me out.

    ETA: This was totally real - not a spoof blog either. She had pictures to prove it.
