Humour emerges naturally out of disasters. Weddings are no exception.
On Monday, I posted this on my Facebook page.
The comments are proof that my readers are hilarious and that wedding disasters are funny. Read on.
Any other wedding stories out there?
Either yours…or someone else’s?
I haven’t read anything of yours yet that didn’t have me in stitches, Leanne.
I can’t recall and drama on our wedding day, but that was 28 years ago – next month. Loved the responses on your FB.
LOL, these are great! We had some trouble with the rings…my matron of honor left my hubby’s on the bathroom sink in her hotel room, realized it on the way to the church…limo did a screeching (and illegal) U-turn on the highway to go back to get it. Then, during the ceremony, the Best Man realized he’d left MY ring out in the car in the church’s parking lot. After a whispered consultation, where the priest suggested “faking it,” and I insisted that I was NOT going to “fake” the exchange of wedding rings, the best man sprinted to the car (to the general amusement of the congregation), while the priest waved to the organist in the choir loft: “Christa, play something!”
Ah, memories.
My sister shared a bed in the hotel the night before her wedding. During the night I woke up with raging gastroenteritis: vomiting, diarrhea, etc. Wedding then went great, but my sister was gifted with the gastroenteritis on her wedding night. Yay for best wedding present ever!
This post makes me want to get married again just for funniness’ sake! Love your story, and Piper’s. 🙂
Geez if I’d known you were posting this on your blog I’d have used an alias and a blank picture…
Funny comments! Congrats on you anniversary!
Wow, those comments were hilarious. The dead fly and wrong name probably made me squeal the most. Thanks for sharing– everybody.
Hubby and I married in August. Because we couldn’t start the ceremony until AFTER sundown, people were eating prime rib at 11 pm. Also our DJ sucked. My parents wanted a band, but hubby said to get a DJ. What do two 60-year old Jewish people know from DJ’s? He was baaaaaad. (How bad was he?) He was so bad that even I couldn’t dance to the stuff he played. And I can dance to peole gargling. No one danced. It was so sad. On an upnote, the edible flowers on the cake were really delicious and then I found out they weren’t really edible.
Luckily, we went to Ixtapa — which was fabulous. 😉
*people*
Since we did a destination wedding, there were only like 12 people at our actual ceremony (that includes two photographers).
At the beginning of our vows, one of my BFFs got a phone call. Since it was payroll day at work (I got married on a Monday), she answered it and told them she was in the middle of the wedding. They called back five minutes later and interrupted the vows again.
In the middle of my wedding video, you hear my other BFF (who was behind the camera) saying, “I cannot believe she’s taking a phone call in the middle of the wedding. Uh, hello??! We’ve got some vows here…GET OFF THE PHONE.”
I have the funniest wedding video EVER. 🙂
Locked up the house and left for the church…and realized I’d forgotten my tux…and given my only house key to one of my groomsmen. Had to smash a window to get back in and grab the tux.
And then still left the tie. Borrowed my dad’s.
Still was on time and ready before she was!
OMG I just tried to “like” the comment about the bridesmaids watching the movie Se7en with a young (I’m reading totally sexy here) Brad Pitt, and then I realized it was just a copy in your post LOL! Funny stuff 🙂
LOL! When my wife and I got married, in a previous millennium, the minister who officiated was so drunk he could barely speak and spent most of it leaning against a pillar with his hands in his pocket. We had to get him back the next day to sign the register. Afterwards, I discovered he’d absconded with the bottles of spirits off the drinks table. Kinda funny, looking back…
ROFL – I see a book here!
These Comments are hilarious. 🙂
Our best man, age 5, ran away in the middle of the ceremony. It was on the beach and he was hauling ass to somewhere. . . we just let him go. Someone caught him and brought him back. He has no recollection of this today, but it was my favorite part of the day.
Er… too many to put in a comment! One was my itching all the way through my wedding and reception as I’d had a new hairdye some days or weeks before (so long ago now, I forget the dates!) and I’ve a video of the day and there I am – scritchy scratching with a look of sheer irritation on my face all through!
Oh – and my dad leaning over to whisper something in my only-just-married husband’s ear. What was it? He asked “what would you do if everyone in the room all farted at once?”
