What went wrong with your wedding?

[KSUViolet06]

This girl I just started working with this school year told me a funny story today (she got married in October). She had a destination wedding in Outer Banks (NC). She and her fiance drove down to NC a week early because they were also having all their pre-wedding events (showers, bachelorette, rehearsal dinner, etc) there as well.

They were planning to leave immediately after she got off work one morning, so they could get there in time to meet the venue coordinator (it's a long drive from OH to NC).

Since she was going to be working and he had the day off, she trusted her fiance to have the car packed and ready to go when she got off, so they could just leave. She left a list of all the important things that needed to go with them, including like 5 garment bags containing her dress, the tuxes, the flower girl dresses, etc.

Well, that day he didn't wake up until she called to say she was on her way home. So of course he just started grabbing garment bags and throwing them into the car. When she got home, she was in a hurry so she quickly double checked that everything was there and they left.

Fast forward to the night BEFORE the wedding. Her MOH is getting things out and ready for the next day, and she just happens to ask "Where's your veil?" My friend says, "oh it's in the garment bag with my dress."

MOH unzips the garment bag to look for the veil and sees JUST the underskirt/poof for the dress. She told me her MOH let out a "horror movie scream" and said "Oh my God your dress is gone!"There is no dress to be found.

The dress shop had put the dress and underskirt part in separate bags, which looked alike. So when fiance packed the car, he only grabbed one of them, assuming that it was her dress. The flower girls' dresses were also not there.

She freaked out and called her fiance crying (luckily he was not completely wasted or anything) saying that her dress and the flower girls dresses were in Ohio and she didn't know what to do. She was obviously distraught and upset that he had forgotten it, but tearfully decided that she could just "get married in whatever because it didn't really matter because it was too late anyway."

He obviously didn't see her being happy getting married in whatever they could find the next day. There's no way they were going to get a dress in NC on that day that wasn't just something they could grab at a Macy's or something, and he knew she'd be really sad knowing that HER dress was left in Ohio and she just had to get married in "whatever"

So his Best Man and another Groomsman got into a car at 9 pm the night before the wedding and drove back up to Ohio, got the dresses and drove back before their evening ceremony the next day.

That's love.
