Wedding Day “Disasters” you can’t plan for

Weddings are great opportunities for things to go wrong… so many people are involved… an no matter how much you plan there are just some things that slip through the cracks.  Feel free to laugh… all of these people are happily married.

1- Bride loses her underwear (before the wedding)

2- Bridesmaid rips the zipper off her dress

3- Mom shuts own head in trunk of car and splits open forehead (fixed with glue)

4- Torrential downpour on wedding day traps wedding guests and kills several people in the area

5- Rouge musician won’t play  Brides processional song; everyone waits and wonders where the Bride is for 3 very LONG minutes

6- Spiders and ticks invade outdoor wedding (photographers had 5 ticks by end of day!)

7- As bride and groom are leaving for the night no birth control can be found

8- Bridesmaid faints during ceremony and is promptly replaced by a helpful guest

9- Child gets stuck through back of chair… pants need to be removed

10- Half of wedding party gets lost on the way to pictures

11- DJ can’t find mother son dance song

12-  No one dances at the reception…. except the DJ

13- Unity candle won’t light… at all

14- Brides dress taken in 4 sizes… still too big (requires 20 safety pins to stay on)

15- One of six groomsmen “didn’t know” he was supposed come along for outdoor pictures at park

16- Groom sits down and rips gaping 8 inch hole in seat of pants.

17- During toast, Best Man says wrong name for Bride

I’ll be sure to add more as they come to mind. Feel free to comment and add your own wedding day “disaster” story!

Great stuff…14 is a welcome problem any other day, but kind of a nightmare the day of!

Ha! I think number 11 is from my wedding. That wonderful DJ also said the wrong name as he was introducing the Bride for the first dance…

Ummm … I think #13 was us. I could give some additional ones you may not have been aware of from ours!

This is a wonderful article, I’m lucky I stumbled onto it. I’ll be back again later to check out other posts that you have on your blog.

This is awesome and makes me laugh about the not-so-big-of-a-deal things that happened on our day.

Although my bridesmaids and I were running nearly an hour late for formal before pictures, someone was trying to give a tour of my old house while I’m yelling at everyone to leave!

And then 3 of our sewing pattern flower name cards burned during the reception. Two were done on purpose…
