To liven things up, and because the gaadamn Knot is broken AGAIN
Here is a post from the Knot, and an associated poll:
I didn't know where else to put this, so if this is the wrong board, I'm sorry.
I'm
getting married today at 5 p.m. Yesterday was the rehearsal and
rehearsal dinner. During the rehearsal dinner, my FI semi-prepared a
small speech. By that I mean he had a few notes on paper, but basically
winged it. During the speech he was telling one of our friends how
happy he was she had been a rock throughout the planning process, but he
called me the wrong name. In fact, he called me the name of his
ex-girlfriend loudly in front of the entire room obviously including my
family and friends. I was completely shocked and hurt and so
embarrassed. And, of course, it led to a flurry of other speeches
trying to correct the damage, but only rubbed the mistake in more.
I'm
trying to get past it. I know I should. I mean, I love the man,
right? I held it together at the dinner, but had a huge breakdown once I
was home. People keep telling me I shouldn't be hurt and should forget
it, but how do you forget something like that when it happens at the
pre-wedding festivities? I know I'll get over it in time, but is it
wrong to not be able to just shrug it off immediately after the fact?
Anyone else have similar stories? Maybe I'd feel better if I knew there were other people that it happened to.
And now, the poll:

I can't even imagine this happening, although I would wager a guess that the person hasn't moved on from their ex if he's calling out his ex's name during a rehersal dinner speech? WTF?
This is all the update we got:
Oh, no. I don't think he's a cheater by annnnny stretch of the imagination! I didn't mean for it to come off that way. It just hurt and was embarrassing, that's all. And, of course, since it happened at the rehearsal dinner in front of a lot of people instead of on accident in private, it is harder to quietly sweep under the rug. And, if he had accidentally called me his sister's name, I'd just laugh it off because that wouldn't really bother me. But he called me the name of his ex-girlfriend which was his first love, so it definitely stung.
And her bio is a big ol' blank, too.
I think there is a bit of truth in everything whether it was intentional or not.
Did anyone ask her if her first name is Emily, and the ex's name happens to be Rachel?
But seriously, I'd be fvckinglivid if Mr. Bang called me his ex-wife's name at our rehearsal dinner. If this chick is real, it doesn't sound good to me. Maybe I'm paranoid?
I bet he was with his "first love" for a long time, he assumed he would marry her one day, but she broke up with him so he's marrying the next one that came along.
Sooooo, a combo of the first two options.
