We did the sand ceremony and one of us, can't remember who now, poured it a little too vigorously and it spilled all over the table.

LittlePigeon · August 2013

I cried the whole way down the aisle, and not pretty, glistening bride tears. I am talking big, ugly Kim Kardashian-style crying.

First off, the flower girl and one of the groomsmen were an hour late. Finally, they arrive and we're about to start the ceremony when my husband realizes he forgot our rings in the trunk of his car. Without saying a word to anybody he starts sprinting for the parking lot. As my family is sitting there watching him run away they start whispering to each other "What's going on?? Did he change his mind?!!". Oh brother! Haha :-)

DH and I missed our flight (we had a destination wedding in Jamaica). We ended up spending close to 1k on top of what we already paid just to get to our wedding.

The morning of our wedding my SIL wasn't feeling well and the fans didn't end up being set out for our guests during the ceremony (it was 98 and very humid).

During our first dance the DJ started playing the wrong song. DH and I didn't even notice for awhile, but then DH just stopped and ran over to the DJ table. It was kinda funny.

I'm sure there were many more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

On our wedding day we had some kid oopsies which were all pretty comical. During te ceremony, one of my nephews kept blowing raspberries onto the banister of the stairs we were standing on (like while everything else was silent).
Once we were announcing everyone at the reception, my other nephew completely knocked over his little sister ( a flower girl ) and pushed her out of the way. His reasoning was simply, "she was moving too slow!" She wasn't even two years old at the time.
The night before the wedding my entire wallet was stolen. It had everything I needed in life inside. It had my social security card, license,$350 cash because of last minute tips and things I had to pay. We were leaving for Brazil 3 days later so I had to get everything replaced in that time minus $350. Nightmare!! But the wedding itself was a blast - one of the top days in my life besides kids being born : ))
The very last picture really shows how proud he was after shoving his sister out of the way ! Family

Me too!!

But also, I got married at this beautiful outside wedding venue, big pond, and they set everything up for you. Well, as I was coming down the aisle, right on the inside of the aisle as I was walking down I saw this older couple and thought, "Hmm.. wonder who they are?" During the recession line at the end of the ceremony, they skipped the line and left. My mom and dad were laughing hysterically and I couldn't figure out why. I guess they realized half way through the wedding that I wasn't their niece and her wedding was the following weekend! Lol

Then we got to the reception and a set of my lights weren't working on the head table so only the middle and right section were lit up. I just laughed it off though. Our DJ sucked, because 3 weeks prior to the wedding the DJ I REALLY wanted, canceled our contract due to having to have surgery. My grandfather ended up in the hospital between the ceremony and the reception. Our friend bought us a night at a Bed and Breakfast in the town we live in. It was so weird going to someone else's house on our wedding night. The next morning at breakfast all the families said where they were from and looked at us like we were nuts when we said that town. Lol
There were so many things that I could say, "went wrong." But in the end I got my prince charming, which is all that matters.

ntdane · August 2013

We were living in Wisconsin at the time of our wedding but got married at a cute little winery where DH is from and where his parents still live. Planning from a distance was kind of a disaster, ex we ended up w/4 different event coordinators in a year because they either quit or got fired. None of them kept good notes and they changed their event options in the process and told us we couldn't have the plan we had organized the entire day around. Thank goodness the head chef there is amazing and he told them he would make it happen.

Once the actual wedding rolled around, it was near war with my MIL. She made her own decorations for her table at the reception because she didn't like mine. She also snuck decorations into the chapel that I told her I didn't want (gaudy fake flowers that clashed w/the carpet).

We also managed to forget the boutineers for the groomsmen so we shorted other relatives to outfit them. The flowers also showed up just a few minutes before the start.

That was all stressful, but comic relief came when the person running the music didn't fade it out when I got to the end of the aisle so all the guests were standing Forever until the song ended. The minister said you may all finally sit down and got a good laugh.

My wedding was kind of a shit show. I'd like to first state that no one in our families is a raging partier or alcoholic and we would have limited alcohol if we thought it would be a problem. But, we had an open bar, which was not a great idea.
Everyone got crazy drunk. My father in law ended up shirtless, with some sparkly scarf he stole from some lady tied around his head, dancing like a Kung fu fighter. My SIL puked all over the bathroom. One of my BMs puked on me. My BIL kept trying to steal a flag from the putting green (we were at a country club) and put it in his car. When my sister yelled at him, he locked himself in and set off the car alarm for like 15 minutes. My husbands aunt and her bf stole a golf cart and had sex on the sand on the course. My mom flipped out and yelled at all the drunks and made 2 BMs cry. When we were packing up, one if the drunks took my overnight bag and packed it in a strangers car, so I had absolutely nothing to take to the hotel. I left the hotel the next am in a tube top I found in my car, my husbands boxer shorts, and my wedding heels. And on our wedding night, we had to take my very drunk and full of puke SIL back to our hotel, get her a room, and tuck her in, cuz her bf disappeared and my MIL was busy dealing with very drunk FIL. Not the most romantic evening.
The country club was not very happy with us.
I swear we are normal people and our families are mostly normal

mrsdahamm · August 2013

I forgot some...

My dream flowers (orange lilies) were mostly buds on the bouquets. And the extra stems we got to decorate at the reception were not open at all!

My dad was just going to wear a suit he already had, and when he went to put it on the day of it didn't fit (he hadn't tried it ahead of time) so he was wearing some crazy corduroy textured pants and a blue blazer. My sister came to me where I was getting ready and said "don't freak out when you see dad. It's fine." lol

We also had a groomsmen whose tux didn't fit because the shop had made a mistake.

And in the ONE picture where we had the whole bridal party including the ring bearer and flower girl, one of DH's guys had his sunglasses on. As soon as we realized it, the flower girl was already throwing a fit so we couldn't redo it.

ETA: I have known the pastor who married us since I was a child. When he went to announce us at the end of the ceremony I'm pretty sure he started I say my last name. Thankfully he didn't get any of it out before he caught himself, paused a moment, and said the right name. DH said he would've died if our first introduction was under the wrong name lol

rubylovebug · August 2013

Mine was actually post wedding as well.

We went to a 24 hours casino in Niagara Falls with a bunch of friends & wedding party after the reception to continue the party. Well, in my infinite wisdom, I didn't have ID (I was 26, wasn't planning to drink & the casino is 18 & over) ... so in the rain, they turned me in my wedding dress, away. It was horrible.

I was semi-understanding, rules are rules, until I saw my BIL back at the hotel running to get his ID. I said, "They didn't let you in either?" & he said, "Oh no, I was in - just need ID to buy a drink." So. Rude.

lwebley · August 2013

My dress (lining) got caught in the zipper pretty badly and they had to cut it to get my dress on and my bustle broke 1/2 way through the night, so we used a friends tie to pull it off the ground... That way I could still dance

LittlePigeon · August 2013

Gee thanks @Berry30 ! Jennifer Lawrence is my spirit animal. Haha $:\$ ">

DH and I eloped in Vegas, so I kinda feel like the whole thing was one big blooper! It was awesome though... We had real wedding attire and my ring was perfect!! We were on cloud nine...

But at the courthouse getting our license, there were some doosies! One couple was about fifty or so and the man was wasted. The woman (with her huge hair, makeup, and personality) was coaching him on what to tell the cashier. "Now, you've been married three times... Right? She's gonna ask you how many times and you'll tell her three!" Then they argued about the $60 fee... Wonder how their happily ever after is going!

We had a Vegas wedding, too, and saw some crazies in the marriage license line as well.

I don't have any from my own wedding, but my parents have told me that at theirs, their flower girl niece was full of very loud questions about what the minister was saying. Minister: "...in His presence..." Flower girl: "Presents? Where are the presents?" Minister: "...and the Holy Ghost..." Flower girl (looking worried): "Ghosts? There's a ghost in here?!"

Seriously, wtf is it about open bars?!? This is why I never go to those "$20 all you can drink wristbands" type events. People start feeling like they need to make the most of "free" alcohol and go batshit crazy!

amandaluff · August 2013

We had our wedding outdoors at a friends house... For starters out dj never showed up so for music we used pandora and plugged our phones into our friends stereo... Then of course it started to rain (no big deal we live in oregon) it rained so hard during the toast that people had to yell. Then as we kept drkmkinh we decided to make a slip and slide with all the bubbles we had.

It was so fun to just let loose when things didn't happen as planned.

Naniebeans · August 2013

At the end of the ceremony, DH and I were by the doors to the reception area to start the receiving line. The vendors started opening the garage doors so it would open up for cocktail hour. Well some genius put the table with the glasses too close to the garage door so it got raised with the door and tipped over breaking several glasses. Luckily it was all of the wineries glasses and none of our booze otherwise there would have been hell to pay! The videographer got a great shot of me covering my mouth and watching in horror.

JannyLynn410 · August 2013

When my husband turned around to get the ring for me, my veil fell off. My mom came running up and snuck it back on. I mentioned it to my husband after, he was so nervous he didn't even notice! He was focusing on the ring and my hand lol. Our wedding was so small and planned in a week so not much could go wrong.

kvlrn · August 2013

Lets see: our getaway car (my car) wouldn't start and we had to leave in our groomsmans car, my SIL puked in the bushes during the ceremony due to MS, one of the flower girls threw a fit and wouldn't put on her dress so she wasn't in the wedding, and our unity candle wouldn't light bc it was windy. The florist also didn't do what I originally wanted and forgot to put out the rose petals. The groomsmen changed into their jeans and tshirts as soon as the ceremony was over so all the pictures of the reception, they look like ragamuffins. The speakers weren't working when our singers were singing during the ceremony so nobody could hear them. And I didn't get any pictures with my grandmother. I sound like a bridezilla going through all of this, but I loved my wedding and wouldn't change it for anything!!!

lvlichelle · August 2013

Our preacher said to my husband "Do you Michelle take Michael" instead of saying "Do you Michael take Michelle to be your.." He caught his self saying it and apologized to everyone. Actually I was sooo nervous, that when he goofed up and called my DH by my name it made me laugh and I wasn't nervous anymore!

Our names are so close.. and now that we have the same last name we open each others mail by accident, lol

JamieLou1122 · August 2013

After our ceremony we got in a golf cart to follow the photographer to take pics by a lake. My husband was driving and as he took off I heard everyone behind us scream "DRESS!!!", next sound was a rip! The train of my dress was under the wheel of the golf cart! Ripped my dress by the bustle and left a huge tire tread mark! But my husband is a huge car guy so a tire tread on the dress actually seemed appropriate

Then at the end of our first dance my husband dipped me a little too far and I ended up on the ground!

stader · August 2013

One of my husbands cousins tried to discreetly and quietly let out a fart during a super quiet time during the ceremony but it echoed against the wooden pews and was amplified in the small chapel. Mortifying for his poor cousin but agony for me and the wedding party as we all had to try to keep a straight face and pretend not to notice it!

NortyLeigh · August 2013

My husband and I were both teachers when we got married. During our vows when he had to repeat, "for richer or poorer," DH emphasized the word poorer and started cracking up. Everyone was laughing.

Our mothers got in a huge fight the night of our rehearsal dinner. Like, turned away from each other, arms crossed, yelling, crying and pouting. In front of 50 people. Over the bar tab/process. I was in hysterics. We weren't planning on drinking much but the bartender made us plenty of shots so that we wouldn't think about their ridiculous drama. It was awful. 6 years later and they haven't talked since that day. MIL won't be near my family for holidays so birthdays and holidays with two babies should be interesting (we have only had Easter and 4th of July with DS).

goldphool · August 2013

My cake fell apart. The staff at the hall discreetly cut and served it without having a cutting ceremony. Unfortunately some mental midget cut the top tier and served it too.

CharlestonVal · August 2013

My wedding was otherwise perfect, but...I locked myself out of my house, locking the marriage license inside ( doh!) and then my in laws got lost and were almost 45 minutes late to the ceremony. We waited but it made my reception an hour shorter. But it was FUN and otherwise magical.

PinupMomma08 · August 2013

My wedding got canceled because of a tri county fire. Super fun.

Donniesgrrl · August 2013

Dh's cousin also a groomsmen, got completely wasted the night before the wedding and ended up streaking through the hotel and then paid me a 4 am visit. He showed up at our room drunk and naked, my SIL let him in and he proceeded to tap me on the shoulder, while I was asleep and then wiggle his junk in my face whilst screaming welcome to the family. My Husband came down to get him after my MOH called him and asked if he was missing a naked drunk Charley (poor guy was sober as a judge and ended up having to babysit his groomsmen LOL).

Apparently the other guys were trying to go to bed and he kept jumping on them and being irritating so as a joke they locked him out of the room when he went to get ice. He then stripped down to his birthday suit, went running through the hotel, took a swim in the fountain in the lobby, and ended up in our room trying to take refuge because security was looking for him.

MamaWino · August 2013

Our party bus broke down on the side of the highway on the way to the reception. We got stuck for 40 minutes waiting for a backup to come get us and ended up missing our entire cocktail hour. I was not happy. Although chugging champagne directly from the bottle helped to calm my nerves
