Embarrassed

As a guest, I would NEVER even notice if someone did this, much less care.

My husband broke his ring finger a month before the wedding and it wouldn't go over his knuckle...I stuck his finger in my mouth in front of everyone to get it on his finger...

Just shrug it off....

Yeah, this is nothing, OP. This is something you'll probably look back on and crack up at!

It's really OK. No one's wedding goes off without something unexpected. Honestly, most of your guests probably didn't notice and hopefully one day, you'll get to laugh with your husband about being so excited to put his ring on that you put it on the wrong hand. It might even be a story to tell your grandkids.

I forgot to serve communion to our pastor during the ceremony. We had a car alarm go off right before we were pronounced husband and wife. I forgot to signal the WP to stand before we kissed and walked down the aisle, so there was no recessional.

At the end of the day, you're married, people ate and drank, and everyone had a good time. That's what makes a good wedding!

@amber that is freaking fantastic!

I would be willing to bet that zero percent of your guests even noticed or cared. Everyone has some small mishaps that happen at their weddings. it seems like it was so noticeable to the bride and groom but in reality the guests had no idea! Don't worry about it. My veil blew off in the wind during my ceremony. I laughed. Just laugh about it, you'll feel better.

Girl, when our officiant asked my H to put my ring on me, he picked up his OWN ring first and our officiant said "I should have clarified, H, place HER ring on HER finger". We made a little bit of a joke out of it and everyone laughed.

It was actually super adorable, and I'm sure if anyone even noticed what you did, they just thought it was cute.

ETA here's a pic of the very moment lol

@Jessie M. That thing is NEVER coming off! Lol

Thanks ladies! Our whole ceremony was a mess mainly because our priest didn't really know what he was doing and we had hardly any direction. We didn't get any "you may kiss the bride" or "I now pronounce you..." we stood up there waiting for it and our priest just sat down so we winged it all. But you all are right it is just a small bump and one day I'll be able to brush it off and laugh at myself

No one even noticed. During our vows the officiant said "do you H" and he didn't even get to finish. DH cut him off and said yes before the officiant could even finish. We were both cracking up! Made for a great series of pics in our wedding album

Oh Honey, this stuff happens all the time.

J's ring wouldn't go on just like Amber's. I pushed it and said my vows tersely, "I give you this ring...in the name of the FATHER and the SON and the HOLY SPIRIT!" Our wonderful priest said "Praise the Lord--she did it!"

Nothing is perfect on the day of. It's the imperfections that make it memorable. I almost fell down the stairs to the ceremony aisle (and have some very awkward pictures to prove it). My husband forgot to put the ring on my finger during the exchange of rings. Our officiant was about to move on to my turn to put the ring on his finger, but I had to stop her and remind him to put the ring on my finger. Then the ring would not go over my knuckle because my fingers were a little swollen. So I ended up putting the ring on my own finger.

With my anxiety/possible OCD, I can TOTALLY imagine being fixated on this. I don't handle embarrassment well at all, especially little things like this. Get a little reassurance from H that it wasn't a big deal. Put five things in your head that you did well. Think about those five things until they're as "stuck" in your brain as this thing is. But from an outsider's perspective, I totally wouldn't have noticed or cared that you did this.

I don't think anyone even noticed. There's so many other things that could have went wrong which would have been more devastating. Relax and reflect on the positives!

Honestly I think it's kind of a cute/nervous mistake. At a friends wedding he was so excited/nervous to say "i do" he didn't even let the preacher finish. No one ever thinks of those things negatively. Don't sweat it.

I'm sorry you are feeling bad about it but it's not a big deal. We used both my engagement ring and wedding band in our ceremony and H didn't know which ring to put on first. So I pointed to the correct one and he says "no not that finger" because I was pointing. Lol! Everyone just laughed and I thought it was funny to show that we are real people. Not just robots or perfectly scripted movie stars. H's phone also rang during our ceremony. Lol! The look on my face is priceless.

Lol @jerseygirl my H did the same thing!

Ok, so what's the problem? lol. I did a same sex wedding and one of the brides dropped the ring through the deck boards at the outdoor venue...why they used boards like that I'll never know. But it took someone with a flashlight and a coat hanger to retrieve it. I think the worst mistake people make would be expecting perfection.

Dude. Pretty sure absolutely no one cares. Not in a nasty way, it's just not something people fret about. FH has a bone spur on his left ring finger that gets inflamed. There's a 50/50 chance that his ring will go on his right hand.

I'm sure no one noticed. They were watching how happy you both looked and looking forward to the celebration. Take a deep breath, or 10, have a glass of wine, and enjoy that wedded bliss!
