Untold Stories from your Wedding?
cpm's post the other day reminded me of my own "untold story." I had forgotten about it for the most part, but it was also intentional that we didn't tell anyone. But alas, I tell you ladies EVERYTHING ;-)
After the wedding when H and I got to the hotel, we noticed there was a Prom After Party in the room next door to us. Just as we were going in, a group of African American guys (maybe 5 or 6 of them) came out of the room next door and saw us heading into our room. They started whooping for my H and one guy said "Oh! He's gonna go HAM! He's gone go HAM!!" Of course, I'm embarrassed as hell, just getting that kind of attention, but H thought it was so funny. Apparently HAM means Hard A$$ Mother effer. *blushes*
Anybody else have any untold wedding stories??
Re: Untold Stories from your Wedding?
LOL at your story!
I have one that seriously no one knows about other than my in-laws and my mom...
So the night of our wedding we decided to stay in these cute little cabins that are behind our venue. http://bridlecreekok.com/outlaw-cabins/
The party is over and we go down to the cabin and we were STARVING!!!! And had nothing but those little complimentary bags of chips that were in the room for us. And it was after midnight. I start scarfing them down!! We're exhausted, buzzed from drinking and partying, and SO hungry. So we try calling H parents to see if they would bring us food and they dont answer the 5 times we call them. Our venue is like 25 minutes away from civilization, I feel so abandoned and starved, like there is no hope and no one there to help us LOL (exaggerating) But we seriously were out in the middle of no where. And are the only ones staying in these cabins.
Then, I see all kinds of bugs in the cabin. Just moths flying around nothing too creepy. But I HATE bugs. And then I see this HUGE moth and I was like nope I'm out. We gotta get out of here! But we did NOT wanna go home on our wedding night. So... we FINALLY get ahold of MIL and she was like O I have tons of left overs from the rehearsal dinner. and I'm like We'll be there in 20!!!
We pack Allllllllll of our stuff and I drive us to my inlaws house. And when my FIL found out we were coming over to stay the night on our wedding night
he made the bed for us to sleep in and put a piece of paper on the door to the bedroom that said Honeymoon Suite. It was SO cute. Thank goodness for my inlaws on our wedding night.
I just thought it was hilarious that the first night as husband and wife we stay at my H parents house. A story I guess I can always look back and laugh about.

omg thats too funny!
I actually have another story...
after the wedding we all went out to a local bar (it was within walking distance to the hotel/reception place) and most of the guests came too. The locals who were at the bar were not pleased that we'd pretty much taken over the place since there was so many of us so they started picking fights with my brother, uncle, friends etc. H's cousin's wife got into an argument with one of my friend's GFs (for no reason at all, she was super drunk) and pushed her.
One of the locals, who started the fights decided to call the cops since he wanted us all out...and they showed up, H tried to talk to them and they told him
"one more word from you and you're coming with us!" H wasn't even drinking, he was truly trying to help explain what had happened, but my Dad grabbed him and took him outside so that he wouldn't get into any trouble....
And at least I can say that I'll never forget one single second of our wedding weekend since so many things (good, bad, or funny) happened!

Love these stories!
So here we are at the rehearsal and everything that could go wrong went wrong. MIL refused to walk down since the aisle was all stairs, no one would listen to me, people at the church were crazy, and my mom was in my face the whole time. So then everyone throws a fit that I don't have someone standing in for me. H's cousin/GM his FI was there so I asked her to do it which we laugh about now and she says I will have to do it for her wedding.
Anyways so we get to the alter and the preacher (my uncle) is going through things and says he will read this verse and that one. And he keeps referring to Joshua like 3 times and everyone is kind of looking around and kind of confused. Then my uncle was like then I will ask Ashley and Joshua to read their vows. I was like wait you mean Ashley and Joseph. Everyone busted out laughing! And then rest of the night and the whole day of the wedding everyone kept asking my uncle what H's name was to make sure he had it right. My whole family now calls H Joshua.
Our wedding was beautiful and fun and the afterparty got a little out of control.
My bridal party are all big partiers so I begged all of them and made H talk to his men to keep it tame untill we got to the house we were all staying at that night. Well we have plently of stories from that night. Mind you only 2 of the 20 people were "college" age and the rest are older 20's early 30's but I felt like I was at a frat party. One of my GM's kissed/made out with 6/7 of my bridemaids. One ran around completly naked.My MOH woke up with signatures on her boobs and 4 people ended up in one little bed even though there were plenty of room for everyone. I stayed sober and just laughed at all the craziness. My H stayed pretty controlled but somehow still ended up falling asleep on the sofa and me in our big master king bed...his brother woke him up the next morning and was like dude nice wedding night on the sofa. hahah! Seriously, I dont regert any of it. It will probrarly be the last time we have all our best friends in one house going crazy.
I already told this story but it was pretty eventful...
When getting into our limo to leave with our photographer after the ceremony, I got into the limo on the sidewalk side, H went around to the street side to get into the car. After he got in he closed the door. He realized that our photographer would be riding with us so he cracked the door for her, seconds later the entire door flew open and scrapped the side of a mini van that was going about 45mph through rown (the speed limit is 15mph) and driving way too close to the limo.
While we were both okay, we unfortunately had to ride around taking photos in the photographer's car and leave the limo and the driver to deal with the accident.
Also... one of the GM saw FIL and MIL coming out of one of the restrooms... together, giddy, and smiling...
Funny post!
My story isn't necessarily untold, but hilarious nonetheless. My dad is usually a pretty reserved guy, I mean he knows how to socialize and have fun but he usually isn't the life of the party. Well, I've seen my dad drunk before...but he was plastered at the wedding. He isn't a very emotional guy, so I think a day full of emotions took over (my mom said that she hasn't seen my dad cry since his dad died, and that was almost 29 years ago...and she said she could tell he was having a hard time not crying during our walk down the aisle & during the ceremony).
Anyways, it's about 9:30-10pm. The dance floor has been full since the dancing started about an hour previously, we had full open bar so the party is starting to get into full swing. My dad walks over to the DJ booth, and apparently asked for a mic. They turn the music down, and my dad starts talking. First he asked a "How's everyone doing TONIGHT??!" He then again congratulates us, and thanks all our guests for coming. He then invites everyone to get really, really drunk and ends it with "LET'S GET THIS F#CKING PARTY STARTED!" I was DYING laughing, it is totally not his style. He came on the mic 2 more times over the course of the night to pretty much reiterate the "let's get wasted and f#cking party" message.
All this from a guy who was so nervous to give a father of the bride speech in front of everyone he almost didn't do it.
My friend's FI said that he thought my dad was getting on the mic to thank everyone for coming, that the reception was coming to an end...nope. Everyone did party though, so I guess it works. Now my friends use the "Let's get this f#cking party started!" line all the time. I'm pretty sure my dad's friends won't let him ever live that down, either. Hilarious, but more so if you know how my dad is.
Mine's not really funny but is out of character for me.
When we got to the venue for rehearsal on Friday I got greeted by the Minister and my entire wedding party standing in the lobby telling me that the desk was saying that we weren't booked to have a rehearsal and that there was a wedding upstairs in progress and we had to leave.
I had a full blown meltdown right then and there. I sat on the floor burst into tears and lost it. I mean sobbing and snot meltdown. This is not at all like me, I think I scared poor Mike to death. I am chalking it up to the fact I was stressed to the max and sporting a 103 degree fever at that point.
Thankfully the event coordinator came downstairs to find out where we were and why we weren't upstairs. She saw my sorry ass, asked what was going on and when the front desk told her, she blew a gasket. She then proceeded to ask the girl if she asked our names. Which she hadn't. Turns out we were the wedding in progress that she was referring to. Our event coordinator gave her an epic ass chewing. The felt so bad that they brought up pitchers of mimosa's and appetizers for us to apologize.
These are great, I feel like my only really funny story is lame in comparison, and not really even about the wedding.....But perhaps any of you with kids (or work with kids) will find it amusing.
Between the ceremony and reception we were doing family pictures in the gardens, and my nephews were there (of course), and my older nephew (16 months at the time), was getting bored and was running around...so he heads off towards this bridge over a creek. Everyone is telling him not to go over there, and he obeys for a bit..but curiosity gets the better of him....he goes running over and runs right off the side of the bridge and lands face first in the creek. Our whole family starts cracking up...as my brother heads over to rescue now wet and sobbing, but not really hurt- child from the creekbed.
The funnier part of this was watching the reaction of our photographers...who at the time were taking our pictures and looked horrified when everyone started laughing at the poor child who fell in the creek....
All I could think was: they are clearly not, nor ready to be parents.
My Blog:Through My Eyes
Hahaha--we don't have as funny of a story as many of you. I'm still chuckling about the bridesmaid who woke up with signatures on her boobs.
But H and I got married at noon, so our wedding was over by 4:30. We went to our house on the property for our wedding "night." I finally got the dress off (as much as I loved it--that sucker was heavy!!) and we were finally relaxing. Then...my mother called.
She had forgotten her clothes in our room (we also got ready there) and was totally distraught. We decided to just throw them out the crack of the door and have her come retrieve them later. We for real could not open the door-that took like 10 minutes, threw her clothes out and relocked it. My mother still laughs about how she crashed our wedding night.
To add to this--we were also starving and went to Roy Rogers after our wedding. Then we went to the local mall and played this random putt putt course we found there. Our family makes fun of us for spending our wedding night at the mall to this day.
After our reception, we went back to the hotel and planned to change quickly and then go meet a bunch of our guests at the hotel bar/club. We also planned on a "quicky." We were trying to be romantic, but we could not get my dress off. Like, at all. So, we had to call my sister and one of our friends who came over to help. Not romantic to have two women unhooking you while your husband watches. Then, I realized I forgot any decent clothes to go out in. So, I'm in an old t-shirt, jeans, and my wedding Toms. The hotel bar had a dress code so I had to sneak in with my t-shirt on. My husband had to borrow a jacket because the bouncers stopped him. Once we finally got there, we had a great time partying with everyone though.
