Your funniest wedding story (inspired by the other wedding threads)

[laurie31]

We once attended a wedding where they played "Send in the Clowns" for the seating of the mothers This was a formal church wedding! It was all we could do not to laugh out loud!

So what's the funniest thing you've ever seen at a wedding?

My cousin got married last year in Fl. It was a HUGE formal wedding and took like 2 hours to complete. (I has to keep my DD(5) quiet this long ). As they were exchanging their vows my cousin, Kathy, dropped the piece of gum she was chewing on. She stopped with a look of panic on her face, reached down, and put it back in her mouth. We were in the third row and my DD saw it. She yells at my cousin that you can't eat off the floor and that her mommy said the five second rule only applies at home.

DH and I got married the weekend that Hurricane Isabel hit New England...it poured and poured all morning...but cleared up by the afternoon for us to have our ceremony outside.

It was VERY windy out...my veil (short one - I think it was elbow length?) and it kept wacking the JP in the face. (heheh) I turn back to my maid of honor - she was already holding both my and her bouquets...so I said my vows with one hand holding DH's hand and the other holding my veil back.

After we were pronounced I turned around to my maid of honor to get my bouquet back...a huge gust of wind came up and just caught me...I stumbled back a few steps...(towards the cliff that the ceremony site overlooked)...everyone gasped as my DH, maid of honor and JP all lunged to grab me. heheh

I started laughing as did everyone else...it was really funny.

All night people kept saying "I can't believe you almost blew off the cliff! Hope you got that on tape!" (sadly I didn't...but no matter...still had people talking! heheh)

When DH and I got married, my stepson was 2 1/2 and DH really wanted him to be the ring bearer. I was very nervous about it because he was very hyper at that age. He made our ceremony hilarious! After almost 17 years, people are still talking about it.

When the lights were dimmed for the candles to be lit, he yelled out, "Lights out!" Then when I started down the isle, he yelled, "Hey Shelia!" When I got to my mark at the alter, he proceeded to jump up and down on the train of my dress. It was big & fluffy (hey it was the 80s!). When he got bored of doing that, he went into the choir loft above the alter where we were standing. He picked up a trumphet (sp?) and yelled, "I blow bugle!" He then tried to blow it. By this time, I am laughing so hard that I cannot say my vows. DH wouldn't even look at me during the ceremony because he would've laughed also. My wedding video is hilarious and should be featured on "America's Funniest Home Videos."

One wedding I attended, as a joke (I think ) the father of the bride walked in with a shotgun

This probably fits more under "weird", but we thought it was pretty funny.

My SIL got married in Jamaica at a resort. (You know, the kind that advertises a free wedding with purchase of your honeymoon there.) Well, the ceremony took place on a gazebo that was on the beach at the water's edge. It was really beautiful.

...Until some lady felt it necessary to come sunbathe right next to the gazebo, TOPLESS.

In her wedding video, you see my SIL come down the aisle, and as she does, you see Miss Look At My ****s sitting there watching the whole thing.

When my daughter was 4 she was asked to be flower girl in a friends wedding. We practiced and practiced at home.

Well, the big day arrives, Lauren is looking beautiful walking down the aisle tossing flower petals. About 3/4 of the way up the aisle she runs out of petals. I am standing at the back of the aisle. She turns around, looks at me and YELLS "Mom, I ran out of flowers! Please get me some more!" Everyone was laughing so hard! After a few hours (seconds really) I got her to go on to the alter.

The bride thought it was hilarious and says it is her favorite part of the video.

My father in law was the pastor for our wedding, so this normally gentle man starts barking orders at the rehersal like some kind of a drill sargent! I was tentative about this perfectionistic tendency, then at the wedding my nephew started crying- he was probably two and my FIL was praying to god " Please watch over this couple and keep them.. and tell Jonathan to be quiet... " without missing a beat! We have that and everyone in fits of laughter on video!

One of my best friends is a real animal lover. About two weeks before she came to Atlanta to come for my bachelorette party and wedding, a customer of hers brought her a tiny baby squirrel. It was so tiny it didn't even have fur yet. She named him Earl (Yes! Earl the Squirrel!) and somehow kept him alive. She and Earl arrived at my house for the party on Friday. When we went out that night she left him in a little comfy bed in my bedroom. We didn't think he could go very far, because he was still so little. When we came home that night (more than a little tipsy!) we couldn't find him. We looked and looked and finally found him in a pile of stuff on my hamper. He was OK, so we just left him there to sleep. The next day I got ready for the ceremony and left our apartment to wait for my soon-to-be husband at the clubhouse where we were getting hitched. Well, when it came time to get married, no groom! I waited and waited and waited some more. I was just about to get really worried when he comes in looking like he was not even finished getting dressed! He was red faced and out of breath and laughing his head off. Just as I was fixing to explode my girlfriend whispered to me "Earl was hiding in Buster's pants and it took us all this time to get him out!" It seems Earl the Squirrel decided that my groom's pants were more comfy than the hamper so when hubby put on the pants he scared Earl and Earl scared him just as bad! Every time hubby reached for Earl he ran up or down a pants leg, then after figuring out that he was trapped in the pants he climbed up the outside of the pants and got inside the jacket. Up one arm and down the other for about 20 minutes. Hubby finally had to snatch off his jacket and ball it up gently so Earl wouldn't run off again.

My husband said awful wedded wife instead of lawful.

My nephew (2 at the time)was ring bearer at my wedding. He was wandering around the chapel and got in to the toilet and played in the water. Plain as day on the video you can hear my BIL asking my sister why he was wet and her telling him he was playing in the toilet!!

Funny at the time but in hindsight a bad bad omen, at my first wedding (my starter marriage) a big gust of wind came up and blew the ceramic bride and groom off the top of the cake and they shattered in a million pieces on the ground. Less than 2 years later so did the marriage. One of my flower girls whose family attended a charismatic church raised her hands in praise during EVERY song including the processional and recessional and the other flower girl ran down the aisle shouting "I gettin mawwied!!!!" They both had a grand old time playing under my dress during the ceremony and shouted "EEEEEEEEEWWWWWW" when we kissed. Also funny now but not at the time, the groom when asked if he took this woman....didn't say a word for about 10 seconds which felt like an hour when you are waiting for an affirmative answer! Then simply said "Yeah". Guess I should have walked away then!

My Pastor presented us to the congregation as Mr. and Mrs. Scott Psycho, then changed it to Sicko. It should have been Mr. and Mrs. Scott Sichko (pronounced Sitchko). It was good for a laugh-and also a start to what would be a lifetime of nobody being able to pronounce my last name.

When DH and I got married my friend flew over from Spokane to be my maid of honor, she was tired and cranky (it was a puddle jumper) and she was flying with a 3 year old! So she gets in the car, she's stuck in the middle of the two boys and having nic fits like crazy. We also got stuck in a huge back-up because there was a 17 car accident. Ok, so I was late for my own wedding!

At the wedding my friend was up signing the license and her DS comes up behind her and waits for a few minutes then lifts her skirt up nearly to the top of her head! OMG we all just about died. DH's friends were trying to pretend they didn't see anything but they were all turning a billion shades of red.

The whole night was just goofy, after the wedding we all loaded up into the limo we'd rented (lincoln navigator - fit all 19 of us!) to head for dinner. In the back seat was two of DH's friends and our neighbor who is just a crack up, they were back there messing with all the lights and just geeking out on the electronics. At the reception DS put cake up his nose. The boys figured out how to mess with the lights in the bathroom and were giving us a light show while I'm in there in this huge dress trying to use the bathroom.

Things are still pretty goofy around here four and half years later!

During our ceremony, the Rabbi started talking about the three ways a Jewish wife can be taken. Through the ketubah (marriage agreement), through the ceremony, or through sex. My poor grandma was ticked... actually I was too for quite a while and I really just couldn't belive he was saying this. It just seemed to keep going... something about three minute egg timer if both parties are willing.

At least we could have it edited out of the DVD, thankfully. But beware the officiant who begins a sentence with "Please don't be offended but..."

Back in the early 90's I went to a co-worker's wedding. The groom was bald but he used the spray-on "hair in a can". It was supposed to look like you had hair. It looked like black Christmas tree flocking. The bride wanted everyone to see the cute little granny boots she was wearing under her gown. When she lifted the gown, she had on white stockings and you could see the black hair on her legs because she didn't bother to shave her legs!!! LOL

I know in a few of my pictures from the reception you can see my funky old tennis shoes I was wearing under the dress. I HATE high heels but had agreed to wear a pair of chunky heeled strappy sandals for the pre-ceremony pictures and the actual ceremony. Five hours later at the reception my feet were killing me so I ran into the bathroom and put on my socks and tennis shoes.

When I was a flower girl (age 3) for my aunt's wedding 20 years ago I had a pretty pink dress. I walked down the aisle not tossing flowers but loudly proclaiming and asking everyone if they saw my pretty dress, and how pretty I was in my pink dress. I was sat with family throughout the ceremony until my parents who were Best Man and Maid of Honor walked back up the aisle at the end. Well I got scared they were leaving me and bolted up the aisle screaming "MOMMMYYY DADDDYYY DON'T LEAAAAVEEE MEEEEE" another aunt came running after bumping another bridesmaid. Family still thinks it is hilarious

At my sisters wedding, they played "Take me out to the Ball Game" since the happy couple are total sports buffs.
At my wedding when the priest asked if I take her to be my wife. I said "Wait" to the astonished crowd. I then walked with the best man to the side door of the church and brought in what my FIL said when I asked him for his permisson to marry his daughter. He said for 2 goats and a Pig. So I brought in 2 baby goats and a pig.
