Funny story

Ashley, on October 9, 2021 at 8:35 PM Posted in Married Life 3 9


I have social anxiety and we had about 100 people at our wedding, I don’t like public speaking what so ever so I wanted to do our vows in private. My step grandfather is a priest so I let him know that’s what we wanted to do. Once the ceremony started everything was going so well until he said “vows” me and my husband PANICKED we had not written anything down to read and bring it up there with us & I guess my grandfather forgot. So me and my husband made up something and of course I didn’t handle it well especially in front of people so my words did not meet my expectations😂
then it was the ring exchange time. I forgot my husbands ring in my bag in the bridal suite!!! Thankfully my MIL had my hubby’s old ring. So embarrassing y’all. It’s been 3 1/2 months and I still think about that😂Moral of the story write your vows down just in case, remind your priest what you want to do, give the ring to your maid of honor lol. Anyone have any stories to make me feel a little better? 🤣

    I wrote my vows down and I had my MOH hold them during the ceremony. She gave them to me to read at the correct time, and I wasn't sure what to do with the card after my vows so I started to hand it back to her and DH reached out and goes, "No, no, I get to keep that now. (It's now sitting on his shelf with all of his collectable/nostalgia items.)

    My FIL (who was also the Best Man) had the rings, and somehow, my wedding ring managed to fall out of the bag they were in, so when we did the ring exchange and he handed Rob my rings (I have a secondary ring soldered to my engagement ring for my stepdaughter), and Rob stared at it for a minute before asking where my wedding ring was . . . it wasn't that big of a deal, my wedding ring was only $45 so it wasn't a huge loss, but my brother somehow managed to find it in the parking lot at the very end of the night. None of our pictures have my wedding ring for exactly that reason, but at least we found it!

    Oh no!! Don't worry - soon you'll back on it as just a funny story from your wedding day! 💕

    We had a hurricane on our wedding day! Our band cancelled and we had to find a last minute DJ, and the power flickered right after we were declared husband and wife!! Smiley laugh
