Our wedding was at the beach and the pen would not work for when we had to sign our marriage certificate to commemorate our special day all while being in front of all of our guests.

The air conditioning went out during the reception of my brother's wedding. It was summer and 85 degrees out.

We have an older 2nd or 3rd cousin who stalked us all at my cousins weddings (I have 4) to dance all night. She's super sweet and nice, but that doesn't mean we all want to dance with her all night long. She doesn't get out very often I guess. It was funny watching my dad not being able to get away. He went to get a drink and she dragged him on the floor while we sat from afar laughing. Gotta love relatives!

Being late left the guests wondering, husband in tears & when he hugged me, his shoulder pressed against my one eye & my contact popped out so I had to go thru the ceremony only being able to see out of one eye. The priest was drunk, he announced "Gathered to join Ray and Mark" people were laughing. We lit the wrong candles & my vail almost caught fire. Closing one eye to see, people said I winking at them & asked why one eye was blue & one green. Our photographer didn't show up. Our flower girl refused to walk down the aisle. Ring bearer walked but didn't want to hand over the rings, he slammed the pillow to the floor mad. Later fell down & tore the knee, my husband had to pay for new tux, it was unrepairable. Coming out of church people threw bird seed in my mouth, hair, cleavage, someone through the untied bag hit my husband's head. People still say our wedding was the most fun wedding they ever had.

Mosquitos...in one word that sums up what I witnessed at a friend's wedding. Mosquitos were everywhere. They decided to have an outdoor wedding in the heat of the summer. It was hot and humid and the guests were like candy for the mosquitos. Bug candles were glowing and the wedding party seemed to be glowing even more with red bites.

We both agreed to leave out "obey" in our wedding vows. We met with the preacher, went over everything with him, kept it very simple, but, much to MY surprise, the preacher put it back in, and made me stumble on my words because of it!

My 2nd wedding at 50 yrs old to a Jewish man (I'm Catholic so had an interfaith fem. min.). Wanting my children in it and my grandson as ring bearer, my oldest son (back from Iraq) walked me down the aisle. The aisle?? 1st disaster: limo driver forgot the runner! Twin redheaded flower-girls dropped rose petals on CONCRETE as we followed. 2nd: The club had no blender to mix drinks! 3rd: Cake was a mess! Leaning Tower of Pisa and on top was written SHALOM! (all plain white!) 4th: Wedding Night! Minister forgot my purse in the limo; wasted time meeting on a hwy; hotel rented our booked room; had to taxi to another hotel. I called the bakery and was told the SHALOM was to differentiate all the cakes (as a Jewish wedding!). Hubby had only 3 Jewish ppl there and the rest (100 min.) were not! Worth $20,000 to give a memory to my children in pics? Possibly. A few hours and not even tasting any of the Venetian hour, we certainly could use the money now instead. Lucky 7/7/07?

I attended a wedding reception once in a rustic barn setting (those seem popular these days) - but this one was perhaps a bit more rustic than most - It began to rain outside, and part of the roof caved in and landed right on the cake!

We had a person pass out, before the reception and the ambulance had to be called. Seems she had traveled three hours on an empty stomach and then drank champagne. At my son's Bar Mitzvah, one time DJ showed up late and delayed the party, next one (different) mixed up the songs for the candle lighting. So, you can plan all you want for a perfect day, but in the end it is about the ceremony not the details of the party after wards.

Before our ceremony stared my then soon to be husband had our rings on the tip of his finger. His friend walked up to him and said , "It looks like you brought a few friends with you". By that he meant his pant legs on his tux had gnats swirling around them. So my then soon to be husband went to go swat them off his pantlegs and the rings that were on his fingertips both went flying off his finger and into the river. I had to wear a friends rign for the ceremony and my husband wore the ministers that married us.

I didnt have anything that was crazy except on the way to our honeymoon (we drove to the cape) I freaked out not realizing I had to drive over a huge bridge. My husband had no idea I was afraid of heights.
