Stuff that went wrong, etc. Here's mine:
The minister had only done a few ceremonies, and he was really nervous. Anyway, during our ceremony he was giving a speech, tried to say "success" and it came out as "sex" instead. HA!

I have a few really funny things. I am always late, and to be sure I wasn't late for my own wedding, I got to the church a few hours early and still managed to get into the church like two minutes late. The next thing is that my dress had a really nice neckline, and I really loved the dress, so I got it. After getting it altered, it was still a little big in the chest area, so I ended up wearing a padded strapless bra. The dress also had pads sewn into the front of the gown. As I was walking down the aisle, one of our groomsmen turned to my husband and said, wow I didn't know she was that big. He thought he whispered it, but truth be told, everyone in the church heard it. Then as we went to light our unity candle, it would not light. It took us like 5 tries to get it lit. No one told us that we should have lite it before the wedding. Lastly, at the end of the ceremony, our minister forgot to say, you may kiss the bride. The music came on, and we just walked down the isle. It wasn't until at the reception that we realized that we forgot our kiss.
Our reception was a great one. My husband's uncle flirted with everyone woman there in the place. Then him and his son were doing strip teases on the tables. When it came time for the cake cutting, another one of our groomsmen grabbed some cake (without me knowing about it) and walked over to me to give me a hug (or so I thought). He ended up smashing cake all into my face (that was alright when he got married, I got the pleasure of getting him back). Also at the reception, we had a guy there that was asking all the women there to marry him (as he was really drunk).
But the best part about our wedding was that all my husband's brothers and sisters and inlaws were at our wedding. That is the last time that everyone was together, because since then there has been a couple deaths.
In September we will be married 5 years!
To add a note of horror, my sister (and matron of honor) was in a bit of trouble (okay so alot of trouble), and during the rehearsal the police surrounded the church and waited to arrest her. She ended up being able to get out on bond, and make it to the wedding.

We had to drive from another state to my parents' house in a snow/ice/rain storm that lasted the entire trip. It was so bad you had to scrape ice from the windshield wipers every mile or so. On the day of the wedding it was a full-fledged blizzard. When I was coming down the aisle my husband was looking everywhere but at me. It made me so angry I thought about cancelling the wedding. Turns out he remembered the groom wasn't supposed to see the bride before the ceremony--and he thought that included coming down the aisle.
At dinner that night the dining room was extremely dark. You practically had to put the candles up to the menu to read it. My husband ordered a salad instead of soup. He started eating it and thought it was strange there was a lone stringbean in the salad. He kept pushing it around and at the end decided he might as well eat it. Turned out to be an anchovy. He gulped his water, mine, and the water on the table next to us.
Those are only the highlights! Some stories are too personal--and embarrassing to reveal.
At our hotel that night as I was going into the bathroom to change, he said he would be right back. There was a high class store in the lobby that sold champagne and I thought he was going to get a bottle. I thought he was so romantic. Instead he came back with 2 Cokes and said, "well, we're in for the night!"

This was my poor cousin's wedding. One of their groomsmen got VERY drunk at the reception. He was dancing around on this table and the DJ told him not to;he was too close to his equipment. Well, he did not heed warning. The next thing everyone saw was this guy falling over right onto this light board (used to make lighted patterns on the dance floor/walls) and shattered it. the DJ freaked out (wouldn't you?) and started a fist fight with the drunk guy. My cousin was MORTIFIED and his father had to jump in and break it up. The police showed up too. They wound up getting divorced about 5 years later. An omen?
It was the most eventful wedding I have ever attended.

I got married in January in Gatlinburg TN. We were taking the last of our outside shots with the snow falling like crazy and me in a strapless dress. We were standing on this beautiful little gazebo and our parents were coming out to form the farewell line. They could see us and my mother in law yelled at the top of her voice and as hick as possible, "smile Sarah". Here is the thing, my name is April... Sarah is my soon to be sister in law. Yeah, it was funny and even the photographer had to stop and laugh...while I froze!

My husband got very drunk and it made his mom mad. Well, one of the servers spilled cocktail sauce outside and his mom and I saw it and she says her son must have thrown up. I had to convince her it wasn't throw up. I also had a flower girl that started crying and wouldn't throw flowers. She walked down the aisle but wouldn't throw them. At the reception she was the first one on the dance floor, by herself! I know she's only 4, but I thought she was shy....lol. Oh, and I messed up the order of the attendant's processional, so they walked down the aisle with one partner, and left with a different one. I didn't even realize it until I looked at the pics!

During the vows, my dad (who was the minister) did the "wrong" version of the vows for my husband, then corrected himself by giving the other version (that we'd chosen) to me. So hubby and I took different vows.

Our minister was reading a passage from a book that we picked out. He was supposed to say love, honor and nurture...he said love, honor and neuter! That got a big laugh!

my husband was so nervous. He had to say, I take you to be my wedded wife. He was so tongue tied, it was jubberish. He started to laugh, and I asked, Are you sure?? He was like yes, yes I'm sure. We have video of it, it's a riot.
