Wedding Bloopers

[RUDisney]

No matter how much planning goes into a wedding, something is bound to be less than perfect.

Our blooper happened when we got to our reception. My good friend was driving the limo that we borrowed from DH's uncle. He pulled up in front to let us out and when he started to pull away, someone in my SIL's car opened the back door and the limo almost took it clear off.

Luckily, the family is in a bunch of businesses related to cars and repairs, so the damages were taken care of on Monday without much ado, although our friend felt awful and kept offering to pay for the damages.

What happened that shouldn't have at your wedding?

We got to the hotel to check in and they had a room with 2 twin beds for us.

Marie tried to educate me for weeks about how not to step on her dress train. She says I still did when we met at the altar and had to do all that maneuvering around to get in the right places.

One Bridesmaid got extremely drunk and ended up getting sick(luckily someone got her to the bathroom in time). Another bridesmaid, grabbed just about every guy at the wedding.
I got married young and was the first of my group of friends, so many of them took this opportunity to really party!

They started playing my going away song while I was using the restroom.

Our head table seating arrangement was backwards. Since no one could find their name where it should have been, everyone just sat anywhere.

A woman at my sisters' wedding in her tighter than painted on strapless, sequined evening gown "fell out" of it on the dance floor. Took her a minute to realize it too, for some reason. Of course, I was amused because this was the woman whose "toast" turned into a lengthy Pro-Life speech

The huge crinoline I was wearing under my wedding dress was 30 years old - it was my aunt's at her wedding, and it was my something old. It was extremely poofy, and it tied around the waist with a string. I noticed that the string was a little frayed when I was getting dressed, but I didn't think too much of it.

As I started to walk down the aisle, the string broke, and the crinoline was coming out from the bottom of the dress. I had only taken a few steps, but I had to go back to the anteroom at the back of the church, pull my dress up over my head, and have the bridal consultant staple the crinoline closed.

1. DH put the ring on my right hand!

2. The priest forgot to pronouce us husband and wife and went straight to you can kiss the bride.

3. The air in the limo went out (June 94 - 100 degrees)

4. DH's uncle picked a fight with my Dad because DH's Grandma was the third Grandma to go through the buffet line.

Otherwise it was a wonderful day and we were able to laugh about all the things that went "wrong". You have to have a good sense of humor.

We were married simply, by a Justice of the Peace, with just a few family members attending. Gramma was there, and for some reason, found it neccessary to loudly clear her throat as I was about to say "I do".
Maybe she had noticed that the Justice of the Peace had mispronounced my maiden name...actually, had given me a completely different maiden name, lol.
Oh well..we proceeded to take our vows anyway.
Every now and then I think...maybe it isn't official!

It was an outside wedding and some neighbor girl that I never knew grabbed the bouquet from my cousin.

I dropped DH's ring, and it rolled far, far away.

During the bouquet toss, I tossed mine right into the chandelier!

 

[kidzmom3]

i tossed mine into a wall.

 

[helenabear]

When I tossed the bouquet, it hit the ceiling and then fell straight to the floor... all the ladies just stood there and stared at it for a minute or two

We had a fairly small wedding and my sister was one of my two attendents. Her then 3yo DS was to sit with our Aunt and Uncle and then scoot over to sit with our Dad - his adoring Papa - well, he wouldn't sit and was starting to yell, so I said, let him walk you in and then hand him off on the way. That worked for a bit, then he wouldn't sit and escaped from my Dad when we were saying our vows. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him standing next to my sister, then he started swinging on the alter rail! I started laughing and the minister thought I was crying, then he saw and started laughing. My poor DH couldn't see around me and couldn't figure out what was wrong. Then my nephew decided his shoes were bugging him so he went and sat behind me on my train and took his shoes off! We have these hysterical pictures that look quite beautiful and formal until you notice this little person sitting behind me! It wasn't the "perfect" wedding but it makes a great story!

Sue's brother went up to light the candles on the altar. He had never been an acolyte, so he didn't know that you had to keep feeding the wick out so that the flame didn't go out. So the flame went out before he lit both candles. Luckily, he had a cigarette lighter in his pocket, so he finished lighting the altar candles with his Bic.

OMG, my FIL did something similar to BIL(his son). They got to the part to say the vows and when it was BIL's turn, FIL said from his seat, very loudly "Duhhhhhh".

One of my friends at the reception got tipsy was dancing and well she fell flat on her butt, took out a FEW PEOPLE ON THE WAY DOWN TOO Even got it on video

Everything went fine except for the ****** florist! I wanted the colors of my bridesmaids' flowers in my arrangement. He said...Oh, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! White for the bride! I told him I didn't want white (I hate white...reminds me of a funeral.) I must have had a TIA because I let him talk me into white with pink on the tips. The pink didn't show in the pictures because there was so little of it. And I told him I wanted the spring colors in the church arrangements. When they showed up, they were solid white! He didn't listen to a thing.

But if that's the worst that happened, I can't complain.

My flowers were supposed to be white and peach. When we got them the peach was pumpkin orange. I had a friend of my mom's redo them. I loved them when she was finished.

DH pants of his tux split open on the seat and the formal wear place didn't know if they could make it with a new pair. We have the picture of his Aunt sewing them up with DH in a swimsuit.

The other oops was when the monseignor called him Bob. My DH is not a BOB. You could hear the collective gasp from his side of the family. I think he figured it out, becuase he called him Robert the rest of the ceremony.

My flowers weren't at the church either, they were at the reception and I remember my mom being soooo upset that she said you know you don't have to get married.

Well, after 12 1/2 years we can laugh at all these things!
