I'd say it was for one of my husband's cousins. It was a second wedding for both bride and groom so the couple opted to have a smaller ceremony. The wedding was held on July 6 at the Smokey the Bear park in International Falls, MN. The red, white and blue bunting and streamers that were left from the Independence Day celebrations were used as part of the decorations. After the ceremony we all trooped off to the local VFW hall for the reception. About thirty minutes into the reception we noticed that our young children were beginning to slip and slide while dancing. The floor was "sweating" so that dancing came to an end when my then four year old son crashed into his older sister and cousin. The buffet consisted of ham, canned corn and mashed potatoes. The bar consisted of kegs of beer and lemonade. The bride and groom were no where to be seen during the first two hours of the reception. We later found out that they were visiting every downtown bar for free drinks and no one knew when they might show up. The arrived about three hours after the ceremony ended, smashed cake into their kids' faces and then started fighting. Needless to say it was the a wedding that we'll never forget!

I was in a sorority sister's wedding that I think was doomed from the beginning. The wedding was held in a very small, historical chapel in a large city. The priest was an hour late to the rehearsal and seemed a little confused when he arrived.

There was no basement or side rooms for changing, so the chapel had large screens set up in the back of the room. On the day of the wedding, the bride was putting her dress on when one of the screens fell, and she screamed, half dressed, as we failed to catch it. The early guests had quite a show!

The organist was I don't remember how late to the actual ceremony, and couldn't be reached (in the days before cell phones). It got to the point where the father of the bride asked if anyone in the congretation knew how to play the organ. He finally did show. Given that the priest was late the night before, we concluded that there was a miscommunication of dates between the person who the chapel was reserved through and the local parish priest and chapel organist.

Our bridesmaids dresses had been handmade by a professional seamstress. The fabric was heavy and unforgiving, and the dresses were so form-fitting that there was no give at all. After the bride walked down the aisle, when the maid of honor crouched down to fluff the bride's dress at the front of the church, she fell over like a roly poly bug! That one didn't last...
