Who else had a horrible wedding mishap?
On my wedding day most everything went perfect. The pictures are proof of an exquisite day. Except one very important thing…
Well, first I must mention that when I was getting dressed in my wedding gown, I was surrounded by all my bridesmaids, aunts, mom, photographers and I was a nervous wreck. When it was time to put on my beautiful $700 cathedral length veil, there were 2 “holes” sliced through it as if someone had taken scissors and cut 2 perfect slits. I didn’t accuse anyone, and for all I knew it could have been my shoe that snagged it but very unlikely. I still never found out what happened. As you can imagine though, I had a mini freak out about it, but I had to let it go and try to focus on the important aspects of the day. All is well until I am walking down the aisle and those same holes get caught on a chair and I have to stop my dad and stand there waiting for someone to release my veil. It was kind of funny in hindsight.
Well, the one thing that takes the cake other than my actual wedding cake, which btw when I sat down next to my husband for the first time right there in front of me was a cake that I had planned with the cake lady for a year and was a complete disaster and wrong in every way. I had to let that go too. So the worst part of the day was after the ceremony we went to take pictures. I was in a whirlwind of emotion and felt like I was floating rather walking. It all was happening so fast. I was in no position to play wedding coordinator; we paid people to do specific jobs so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. So after we took a million pictures of every combo with grandpa and the wedding party and the sisters, etc, and after the night was over my husband and I were horrified at the realization that my photographer completely forgot to take pictures of just us! Yes, not one picture exists of the 2 of us on our wedding day. Maybe except for a couple of random toasts and our 1st dance, but there are no romantic kissy pictures or any of just us gazing into each others eyes posing together. My photog was an emotional mess the next day when she realized it and actually suggested that I get back in my dress and him in his tux which was covered in filth to do a “re shoot” and pretend like we just got married. Right. We paid her $3,000 to take our pictures and do her job. She was also 2 hours late to take pics of us girls getting ready too. And I might as well tell you about my wedding planner. She was a snippy control freak who, by the end of our 1.5 year business relationship, asked me on my wedding day if there was “something I wanted to say to her” ON MY WEDDING DAY. I told her that this wasn’t the time and I didn’t want to go there right now. She said “Well whenever you want to go there you let me know.” That made the morning a little more stressful. I must say though, despite all the mishaps on my wedding day, I am happily married and we are 4months pregnant!

You are not the only Bride and Groom who had wedding day disasters . . and that’s what memories are made of.
Wrong wedding cake was delivered to someone else’s reception (similiar in decoration). And when the mistake was discovered the other Bride and Groom had already cut into the wrong cake.
Wedding rings went flying into the air when the Ring Bearer got upset and threw the pillow into a flower bed at a garden ceremony.
Over fifty unmailed wedding invitations were found in the truck of the Bride’s car a week before the wedding.
The wedding rings did not come in before the wedding day. They were sent away to be engraved so the jewelry store lent two inexpensive rings to the Bride and Groom until theirs came in from the engravers.
The ring bearer knocked over the three lit candles on the unity candle table.
The Maid of Honor, a bridesmaid, and two Groomsmen quit the wedding right after the Thursday evening rehearsal. There was only a bridesmaid and a Best Man at the wedding.
The Marriage License was found behind the toaster at the Bride’s Mother home just minutes before the ceremony was about to begin.
The Bride was bragging to all of her friends what a great deal she got on her wedding cake. It tasted horrible, they couldn’t give the cake away.
Two $100 bills that were put in a wedding card as a gift were counterfeit.

We had nothing like that.
We forgot the ringbearer pillows so the boys walked down the aisle each holding an empty ring box (the best man had the rings in his pocket).
Our second ringbearer was late for pictures so there are quite a few without him — and they forgot his tie so he looks off from the other ringbearer in the pre-ceremony pictures.
One of my ushers & readers never showed up for the pre-ceremony pictures like I asked them to and when we asked them to stay for the after-ceremony pictures they just left and went to the reception — so I have NO posed pictures with them.
One of my groomsmen & flowergirls (GM’s daughter) got lost going 5 blocks from the church to the reception because they used their GPS instead of the printed directions I gave them and the GPS sent them to the wrong place! I was steamed because we were holding up the reception — cocktail hour was ended, the guests were seated and were just waiting for our entrance so we could toast, dance & start dinner. I told the DJ that if we had to we’d get introduced without the 2 missing people — my hubby refused to come into the building for intros until they showed up (he knew I wouldn’t start the intros without him!) nova_queen_28
got scammed… paid 10k to something that was supposed to be covered by 1k, because i was busy and my fiance (now husband) decided by himself. honey
Bride had her whole wedding planned by her mother,grandmother, aunt, mother-in-law and sister-in-law. She went along with what they did including her dress,bridesmaids dresses,tuxedos,shoes,catering,cake, music, everything. The bride call me up and tells me the whole story and the fact that she is getting married the next day. She is not my bride but knows i do weddings with the club/restaurant. Thank Goodness I had one event planned for that morning but then had to break it down and turn it into a ceremony/reception and then back into a nightclub. Why I accepted it I’ll never know other than I was challenging myself. Anyway, I told the bride and groom to call their bridal party and all meet with me NOW. They all left work, met with me and we got everything done that afternoon. I sent them home to relax for a couple hours and then they came back for rehearsal. In the mean time I did all the planning, time line, had no budget, bride lost all her deposits and we did not tell anyone. As far as guests and family were concerned everything was going to be the same. At rehearsal, I had everyone dressed so we would know where the problems were. Ok, rehearsal done, next day went really well considering all that we had to get through. Family shows up, see everything different and wants to stop everything. After calming everyone down, we got through the wedding and reception, and at the end I gave the bride and groom an envelope. To their surprise, I gave them back their original deposits and there wedding was done for free. They got to have the wedding and reception they wanted and got to actually go away for a honeymoon. hollywoodmelody
The most fun wedding I ever went to had what I thought were mistakes in their program (turned out it wasn’t mistakes, but the bride had a man as her “man-of-honor” and the groom’s sister was his “best woman.” Then, the usher seated the bride’s mom but the mom forgot she was supposed to ???get up and leave the church and help her husband walk the bride down the aisle; when she remembered she sort of jumped up and scurried out. The ceremony went fine except the priest who was supposed to marry them couldn’t at the last minute and the officiant didn’t know the couple; wish you could have seen his face as the entire wedding party boogied down the aisle to the song “Celebrate” and out of the church. This was a summertime wedding in Texas and it turned out the bride’s mom was supposed to have opened the reception hall and TURNED ON the A/C early in the day. The caterers couldn’t get in because no one knew where the keys were and there was no way the A/C could cool the building down in 15 minutes! Also, the caterers couldn’t figure out how to work the rented margarita machine so after they put the booze and the mix into it, nothing would come out until it go cold enough??? So we were forced to do tequila shots with what hadn’t gone into the machine! Very honestly the most memorable wedding I’ve ever attended. suellenh
