I have two

About a year before I got married I was in a wedding where they had a full mass and the bride threw up at the alter.

needless to say we did not have a full mass. Everything for my wedding went great except it was the hottest day on record for sept. and the air conditioning was not working great in the reception hall. One of the guests opened the back door and a bat flew in. It was scary. a couple guests left, but it was quickly caught and removed.

2 cars got stoeln from the church parking lot at my wedding.

The first one was a brand new car that had been picked up on the way to my wedding. The people were friends of my DFIL, and the car had less than 100 miles on it when they arrived at the church. By the time Mass was finished, the car had been stolen, in an accident, and had $16000 (yes, that does say thousand) worth of damage. It was a Cadillac.

The second car was recovered the next day, with only about $1500 worth of damage.

It was my mother's car.

Mine's similar to the foundation story. Had my dress and lipstick on. Was getting the garter on. Mom wanted to help, so flipped my skirt up -- into my face. And lipstick. Whoops! Luckily it was hidden in the big center fold.

In planning my own wedding, I've started to come across various "wedding from hell" stories that I find both frightening and entertaining.

I thought it would be both educational and enjoyable to share our wedding horror stories. It could be your own wedding, or just one you've attended. I'll go first, although mine isn't all that shocking!

I was a bridesmaid in my brother's wedding a few years ago. Everything was fine, the ceramony and the reception had gone off without a hitch. All the in-laws were getting along, the MoH and Best Man didn't embarase the couple TOO much. It was a lovely wedding.

As the reception went on, the alcohol was flowing and everyone was having a VERY good time. I run into my cousin, Kevin and his dad, my uncle Joe and we start to chat. Kevin was rather drunk, and starts to HIT on me, right infront of my uncle! :O All of a sudden, I "heard" the bride calling for me and I broke the land speed record getting out of there!

So, what are your stories?

EEEWWWW!!! Your OWN cousin was hitting on you?

My story is not about my wedding, but my sister's. She had her wedding day planned a year in advance. My brother got diagnosed with a brian tumor in November of 2003. In August 2005, he started to go down hill, fast. The family scrambled, trying to figure what will happen if Paul dies, and Sheri's wedding. Sheri talked to my SIL about a week before her wedding, and SIL assured her that she should go on with her day regardless of where Paul is at. Well, the morning of Sept. 25th, we knew Paul was not going to live out the day. We prepared ourselves to go to the wedding on Martha's Vineyard, knowing that when we got home that night, Paul would no longer be with us. We were going to put on a happy face for Sheri and her husband.

What happened was, my younger brother called my SIL after the ceremony. So, the ceremony had ended, and we were all waiting for the boat taxi to take us to the reception. While we waited for the boat, my brother broke the news that Paul had passed away. He passed away 5 minutes before Sheri's ceremony had started. As much as we had prepared ourselves for the news, hearing the words hit us like a brick wall. So, as hard as we tried (myself and siblings) to keep smiling, it wasn't working. Tears were flowing all night. Looking at the pictures from her wedding, I feel so bad for my sister. Not only is there not one photo of me smiling, but my face was all puffy and blotchy from crying. I looked beautiful.


That day really sucked.

Oh That is just awful.... to your and your family!
So sorry for the loss of your Brother!


My DFIL was disgnosed with lung cancer 4 months before our wedding...the DR. said he "might" make it to the wedding.... Thankfully he did...but it sure puts any wedding issues in perspective!

I'm so sorry!

In no way take this as criticism, I'm just curious why your sister didn't either postpone the wedding or move the date up, given the circumstances?

My dh was in his friends wedding party. It was a big beautiful wedding with 500 people. Well at the end of the night the grooms father told the grooms mother that he was leaving her and not coming home that night.
Can you imagine remembering the night of your wedding as the night your parents split up. What a jerk.
