Post a funny story from your wedding day
DH and I got married on a Sunday. Unbeknownst to me a woman wandered into the chapel to pray. She stayed for the entire mass and never said anything to anyone. She was sitting in the back row away from the aisle. I never noticed that she was there. But I wonder if our guests thought she was invited. Her outfit was really a humdinger.
I was shocked when I got our wedding photos a few weeks later and saw these.
Re: Post a funny story from your wedding day
Whoa, that church lady is hilarious!!!!!
We had a few people that came up from Dallas to KC to come to the wedding. One couple was really treating it like a vacation and went all out and were completely smashed drunk. By the end of the night the wife was all sprawled out on the loveseat with her vajayjay hanging out and then puked over the side of the chair. They also lost their really expensive camera that night too. At the time I was so upset by her behavior but after a few weeks, I thought "well, I guess it was a good party if people were puking" Klassy, I know
aw, I have to wait until I get home to see the church lady! some pictures don't show up at work
Funny story of the wedding......I had several flower girls, and two of them were my nieces. When the priest said that we were man and wife, blah, blah, blah kiss the bride and we kissed the smallest flower girl let out an "ewwww"
Lol at the church lady, we went to a wedding in Arizona a few years back in this really old historical cathedral,and there were a few homeless people that wondered into the back during the ceremony as well.
During our wedding, our best man dropped my ring on the brick floor during a pretty quiet time of the ceremony. I actually leaned my neck over to look at him and gave him a grin, everyone saw this and laughed.
I had a catheral length veil as well and my MOH was stepping on it, and did not realize, so after we were annouced as hubby and wife, we went to walk back down the aisle and my whole head was yanked back b/c she was stepping on the veil. Again, everyone laughed, including me. She is still my best friend 3 years later and I give her a hard time about.
I'm dying laughing at the pics of the button lady! lol
It seems like cathedral length veils are not the way to go either!
I wore one too and came down this beautiful curved staircase with all these wrought iron swirlies and it was beautiful! Until my veil got caught in one of those swirlies and yanked my head back so hard I almost fell backwards on the stairs. Thank god my young, strong brother was the one that walked me down the aisle/stairs. He was the only thing that kept me standing! But he did have to run halfway back up the stairs to unhook me before we could continue down the aisle haha
At our reception, a guest came up to the head table and said hi and congrats. We said hello and thank you and were nice and he went back to his seat. It wasn't until he was halfway to his seat that I realized who he was! It was a friend of the family, young man, who must have gained a bit of weight since I had last seen him 4 years earlier.
It took me a bit to think of a "funny" moment from my wedding, most of the moments I thought of were more frustrating...like finding out the day of the wedding from one of my other bridesmaids that one of the girls had altered her dress by adding 18 inches to the length!
Here is the one that was funny though, during the bridal party pictures, my MOH was posing for a picture and busted the seam of her dress. She immediately started crying and freaking out. Luckily, we had a seamstress in the crowd that fixed the dress before the reception started. But the pictures still crack me up!
Oh. I had plenty of those moments too. Everyone thought "it" was funny but I wasn't laughing. Four years later and I'm still not laughing at some of the things that went wrong. But button lady was harmless and totally out of anyone's control. I just wished I knew who she was so that I could give her the pics.
Our wedding was in DH's parents backyard in BC Canada. Me, my MOH, and my mom headed up there 3 days before everyone else so we could get stuff set up. Well, we stayed at my MOH's house in McKinney the night before we were supposed to fly to Canada and the morning of our flight I woke up and knew I was going to be sick. So we had an 8 oclock flight and on our way to Dallas we had to stop 3 times for me to throw up. When we finally got to the airport we were so late that they wouldn't let me check my dress. So here I am, lugging around this 40 lb dress, barfing in every trashcan I can find, but trying to go fast because we are going to miss our flight. Well we make our flight because the capitan holds the plane on the tarmac, and the whole time on the plane I am throwing up. I used my barf bag, my moms, my MOH's, and the two people in the next aisles as well. It was a lovely day.
Thankfully we had no major catastrohes, but several things happened that still make us laugh.
My dad and I never practiced going up the aisle with me in my gown, so we didn't realize until we were headed toward the altar that my dress took up nearly the entire aisle! My poor dad was tiptoeing along the side, trying so hard not to step on my dress.
During the ceremony (I think it was when we were about to exchange vows) the minister told DH to take my right hand. I gave him my left hand and he let it go and picked up my right hand. For some reason, it really gave us the giggles and then the whole congregation started laughing.
My ring fell into the lining of the best man's jacket. When the minister asked him for the ring, he reached into his pocket and then had a hilarious freakout. It looked like he couldn't find it at all but he told us later that he could feel it, he just couldn't get to it. Since I was facing the best man, I was shooting daggers at him over DH's shoulder!

I'm just a lurker but...
DH fainted at the alter due to the heat. He was out for a good 10-15 seconds.
At our reception everyone asked the traditional "where are you going on your honeymoon"? We said St Martin and got these funny looks and "wow I'm surprised you can still go there. Found out a hurricane had hit a couple days before. We were so wrapped up in wedding stuff we had no clue. My poor mom and sister knew the entire wedding day that our resort was closed, but they decided not to tell me until the next day. We woke up Sunday, planned a new honeymoon, and flew out Monday morning. I love thinking back to what our guests must have been thinking when I said, "of course we are still going to St Martin."

Our ring bearer was a little character. He got nervous when it came time to walk down the aisle. Our flower girl tried dragging him, but he resisted and ran over to where his mom was seated. She was able to coax him down the rest of the way as he dragged the ring pillow on the ground behind him, just holding it by the little ribbon that is supposed to hold the rings. Thank goodness we didn't put our actual rings on the pillow! He spent most of the ceremony laying out flat on the ground on his stomach. He kept everyone entertained
Who could resist this face?
We got married in my small hometown 30 minutes north of Waco.
Before the wedding all the women met at a local hairdresser to have hair done. I was supposed to go last. Mom was in the chair, sister under the dryer when sister asked if anyone had a nail file. I jumped up and said I know where one is.. headed out the door to retrieve one from the car.
For some reason my mother thought I was going to drive all the way to Waco for a nail file. She raised up out of the chair telling the bridesmaids 'Stop her! Don't let her leave!!!' She almost got stabbed in the scalp by the stylist's hair pick. It was funny. To this day she does not know why she thought I was going to drive that far.
