Oh honeychile-- I am in TEARS laughing (or is it crying) over your day...
My anniversary is in a few days and this thread got me "re-living" my day... the highlight(s) of my seemingly very smooth wedding included:
A drunk in-law who got up at our rehearsal dinner and proceeded to tell a very funny yet very touching story-- the only problem was the story was about my DH and his old college girlfriend… (can we just say awkward?)
A Groomsman knocked on my DH’s hotel door 10 mins before they needed to be at the church saying he had lost a shoe??? (HOW does one even do that?) Since my husband couldn’t “fix” this problem the guy thus came down the aisle with one “tux shoe” and one brown loafer— (WHY oh WHY wouldn’t you just wear TWO shoes that matched instead of one and one???)
I lost so much weight due to stress that my dress had been altered within an inch of its life- I then proceeded to lose more before the wedding and on the day of it didn’t fit!!!! The only solution my mother could come up with was stuffing the top with socks… thus taking me from a (somewhat hopeful A cup to something akin to Dolly Partton) - the dress fit but guest (and husband) reactions were rather priceless….
I ended up HATING my photographer and my only bridezilla moment came when I yelled at him in the church to “HURRY THE “cuss word” up or just get the “another cuss word” out”… thus appalling all involved, being yelled at by my mother like I was a 4 year old and DH and I ending up with no photos of the reception as he actually did “get the “cuss word” out…. ".
Our limo driver who was from out of town assured us he knew where the country club was … he didn’t… (he was lucky I had gotten my frustrations out on the photographer- AND that the car was stocked with champagne)
A bridesmaid who was an “I had to ask” bridesmaid- got very drunk and proceeded to tell anyone who would listen what a bitch I was because the monograms on her bridesmaid gift were in blue and I KNEW she hated the color blue and picked that color because I hated her…. (oooookay I actually did it because they matched the dresses- but I guess I did that to spite her too…)
However now ALL of these things provide wonderful laughs— but I do tell my husband “we should have eloped”….
