What went wrong at your wedding?

Katie, on December 19, 2021 at 4:37 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 6
Our wedding was yesterday and it was lovely. I was told leading up to it that something always goes wrong at the wedding. It definitely happened to us. The groom and groomsmen were missing their boutonnières, mothers were missing their corsages, and the flower girls were missing there halo wreaths. We didn’t even notice during the wedding and only discovered it when we went to pick up things at the venue this morning and found all of them in a box. According to our florist they were sitting next to all the bouquets and our coordinator knew about it, but somehow the box got lost in the shuffle. I am so annoyed that we spent decent money on these things only to have them be in a box in a closet somewhere! I am curious for those who are married, what went wrong at your wedding?

    My brothers left my mom at the reception without a way back to my house assuming that I would be driving my mom home and stay at the house with them, not with my husband. My mom refused to take an Uber/ride share home.


    So there was some frantic calling/texting my brothers to come back and my husband was very confused about how that could happen. It was goofy and stupid, but in the end it’s not a big deal—just a funny story.

    At mine our flowers girls parents bailed on us so we didn’t have one. I forgot my vow book and one of my girls had to sneak back to the room and grab it. My brother almost started a fight between himself and my bridesmaids husband. Oh and my husband got stupid drunk by the end of the night, got sick all the way home and broke our cake topper. 🤦‍♀️ Lol nothing can ever be perfect lol

    Miraculously nothing big happened that was of major consequence but we did have the following:

    One of the (noticeable) embellishments on the dress of one of our flower girls starting to come off so as we were rushing out the door we had to quickly stop to super glue it! This was after our first batch of dresses went missing in transit.

    Our ceremony space had scaffolding out the front due to termite damage (historical building) but thank goodness on the day there was only a small portion of it remaining.

    Certain family members didn’t stay behind for photos despite our celebrant informing family to stay behind for photos but it was the relatives we invited out of obligation only so we low key loved the fact that they ignored the call out Smiley tongue

    Three Things:

    1. DH and my brother don't really get along, so things were kind of tense between them. That in itself would have been fine, but my MOH (who I've been friends with since I was 11) has been spending a lot more time with my brother in the last year (their kids are the same age), so she sided with him, and got into it with DH. More tense than an actual issue.

    2. MY WEDDING RING DISAPPEARED. We got to the exchanging of the rings and DH's BM (his step-dad) pulled the rings out of the ring box, and my wedding ring was no-where to be found. Fortunately, my brother found it in the parking lot a few hours later, and it wasn't super expensive anyway, but it was still nerve-wracking!

    3. We ended up doing the ring picture without my wedding ring (so just in my engagement ring and the ring for my step-daughter) since we did pictures at 7 and my ring wasn't found until almost 10. What's funny now, though, is that my husband already had to get a new ring because his broke (evidently you drop Tungsten at JUST the right angle, and it snaps into pieces . . . ) so the picture doesn't actually have EITHER of our rings.

    The only thing that went wrong was we didn't know where the pins went for the time of the money dance lol. So, there was just money all on the floor, in my husband's pockets, and I was holding some. We had a small wedding so my girls and my husband's cousins helped to pick up the money afterwards.

    So I thought it would look really nice to have pillar candles in glass vases lining our aisle. Turns out, definitely not a good idea. Apparently guests kept accidentally hitting them (only one broke but I'm sure many others were knocked over) but the real kicker is that a guest's purse strap started to catch fire! And this went down as our wedding party was walking down the aisle at the very beginning of our ceremony! I had no idea until I was going through wedding pictures with my mom well over 3 months after the wedding and she pointed the scene going down in the background Smiley xd Luckily our wedding was outdoors so there wasn't anything else flammable around!
