Funniest thing that happened at your reception/ceremony?

Rosie, on August 31, 2021 at 8:12 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 12

I'm in lockdown here in Australia, looking for some uplifting, joyful stories about the funniest thing that happened at your reception or ceremony!

Did a child sit on your veil? Did your father in law trip and knock over the cake? I once went to a wedding where an Ibis (or as we affectionately call them, bin chickens) HONKED right in the middle of the vows. It was hilarious.

    Ok so here's a funny. We had a completely outdoor wedding. So when we went cake tasting we found that the can make a faux cake with a small piece of cake for you to cut and feed each other. So the whole cake was made out of Styrofoam except the piece we eat. The piece we eat they mark with two pearls so we know where exactly to cut. Unfortunately the baker didn't mark the cake well and we ended up cutting into part cake part Styrofoam. My husband and I fed each other and I got cake and he got Styrofoam. He ended up spitting it into a napkin thankfully. We ended up laughing about it. And the best part is nobody knew the cake was a faux cake.

    Thankful he realized before swallowing it. He jokes about it from time to time, like at the wedding He said "man you're immediately trying to collect on my life insurance right after we say I do". I can't wait to see the professional pictures of us cutting the cake they might be funny.

    Let’s see. My dads phone rang in the middle of our ceremony (not the vows though). We were like really everyone you know is here!
    And then during the recessional my husband stepped on my dress. I thought it was pretty funny and the photographer caught his face when he did, lol.

    At our microwedding our 2 year old kept coming to the front where my husband and I were standing in the middle of the vows lol. It was cute though, because at that age who knows what kids will do. I am eager to see how he acts at our upcoming reception this year!

    Barring the main laugh, that my husband was trapped on the death trap road known as I-4 here in Florida and ended up an hour late...

    Husband was so nervous and flustered he tried to put my wedding ring on my right hand. The reverend was very patient and gentle, "her other left ring finger...."

    I caught my veil on fire leaning over a candle during the cake cutting. (It wasn't a large flame.)

    Then this happened after - husband waited until the end of the ceremony/before the kiss to lift my veil. I was COOKING ALIVE under that thing, and I didn't say anything until after the wedding, but I was like, why on EARTH did you wait to pull my veil up until right before the kiss?? His response... "I thought that's what I was supposed to do, that's how they do it in the movies!!"

    Lesson learned ladies: tell your husband beforehand when you want your veil lifted.

    Oh my, haha! I'm glad you had a good sense of humour about it - it sounds like it was cute rather than awful but goodness, I've heard some horror stories and we definitely did not want anything like this to happen, so have elected to have no little ones at our wedding.

    Ooooh very good point. I have no idea when a good time will be but I will definitely read through our timeline and brief my fiance on exactly when it needs to be lifted! Like, the instant I get down the aisle maybe? I'll think on it!

    Those things sound hilarious in hindsight, but quite terrifying on the day! What great stories they must be now though!

    It definitely was cute, we weren't mad at all. We also had no kids except our 2 boys & my niece/nephew because they were the ring bearers & flower girl.
