Embarrassing moments at your wedding?
For an upcoming article, we want to hear about the most embarrassing and hilarious things that happened on your wedding day. Did a groomsman have a little too much to drink and dance to his own beat on the dance floor? Or did a bridesmaid trip as she was coming down the aisle? (And don?t worry ? the story doesn?t have to be about you!)
So you tell us, what are you hilarious or embarrassing wedding day moments? Share them below!
Re: Embarrassing moments at your wedding?
I fell smack-dab on my bottom during our first dance.
My husband and I did a non-choreographed swing dance to Bobby Darin's "More." We've been attending our school's swing club for a few years and I had practiced a few moves at all of my dress fittings. It seemed like we could do it.
Either the whole dress had fallen from being hung up, or the bustle was longer than the rest of the dress, I don't know, but I took too big of a step backward and tripped on the back of my dress. There was no stopping me--down I went! It wasn't a spectacular fall, but there was certainly no hiding it. It broke the hook used for the bustle, but no other holes or tears were present.
My husband helped me up, and I spent the rest of dance and the remainder of the night carting my short train around (the safety pins didn't do any good, either).
Aside from that, it was all good, clean fun.
My sister in law's MOH dress was a very fitted, short strapless tube-ish kind of dress. It really was a beautiful dress ... but the zipper busted the entire way down the back before the ceremony even started.
We'll forever be grateful for my DH's cousin's fiance ... who grabbed some safety pins and one of my extra table runners (which were the identical color as her dress!) and fashioned some sort of bow-thingy at the back of her dress and you couldn't even tell anything was wrong with it. It was pretty incredible, actually. lol
The officiant asked DH to repeat after her... he said "Today it is my honor to be called your wife". He stopped and said what. The officiant had no idea what she did and took her a while to realize it. I was laughing and giggling the rest of the ceremony.
ETA: my father is a cross dresser... and he attended the wedding.
At the reception FIL's best friends were at table 9 and arguing about how many beers they have had. I guess the arguement turned ugly because then they were escorted by the security guard out of the place. Good thing too because they were trying to force me to do a dollar dance. AWKWARD
We didn't want anything fancy for a cake cutter, so we didn't buy anything, and we were just going to use whatever the hall provided for us. Only thing was, we did not TELL the hall that. So, we walked up to go cut the cake, directly after our grand entrance and first dance, and there was nothing on the table except for the cake, no knife, no nothing. So my DH smoothly walked over to the head table and looked to his best man, who handed him one of the knives off of his own place setting. Yup, we did our ceremonial first cutting of the cake with a BUTTER KNIFE.
It didn't bother us though, nothing could take away from our happiness on that day.
