The Things That Can Happen at Weddings!
Oh my goodness, the things that can happen at weddings!

When it came time at my Aunt and Uncle's wedding to remove the garter, my aunt (who is a little on the heavy side) positioned herself in the middle of the dance floor on a stool. When my uncle went under the dress to retrive the garter my father ran up and slapped him on the rear; which made him jump and tip my aunt backwards off the stool. Her dress went up over her head with more than just the guarder around her ankles... It was rather funny at the time, but in retrospect I feel really bad for my aunt.

A long time ago I was a bridesmaid at my cousins wedding. It was a full catholic mass type thingy thing and at one point an altar boy walked down the aisle ringing a bell - one of the little ones shouts as loud as he can: "It's the ice cream man".

The scene was a small, intimate evening wedding ceremony. Each guest held a votive candle. As the couple lovingly bagan to say their wedding vows the house lights were dimmed and each guest lit their candle. The couples 2 year old son, popped out of his seat and began to run around the room yelling Fire! Fre! and trying to blow out the candles.

Being a wedding photographer, I have a million funny stories...one of the funniest was a cake cutting ceremony where they were both being very nice and feeding each other the bite of cake ....until ....the groom's hand slipped (yeah right) and he smeared a little cake on her nose. She proceeded to reach down into the cake and grab a handful and reached for him. He got a look of terror on his face and took off running across the reception hall. She chased him, wedding dress flying behind her, and tackled him. Both of them on the floor at this point, she painted his face with the cake and they both just laid on the floor laughing until they cried. I think I used a whole roll of film on that cake cutting.

Attended a wedding and while at the alter and it was a long Catholic service and during the middle of the service this cute little 4 yr old Ring Baerer in short pants and tuxedo jacket with tails and a deep tenor voice turned to the front of us in the pews and grabbed his crotch and yelled out: "MOMMY I GOT TO PEEEEEEE! PEEEPY! LOL the Preist and everyone laughed and Grandma went to the alter and took him potty

The last wedding I attended, the groom's cell phone went off in the middle of the ceremony. It was one of his co-workers, wanting to know when the wedding was going to start.

We were at my cousin's wedding and I was holding my 4 week old nephew. About 15 minutes into the ceremony, he starts passing gas like a 400 pound-beer drinking-Packers fan. With every blast, the people around us started laughing harder & harder but were trying not to since the video camera was not far from where we were sitting. I was shaking so hard that he started to cry and my brother in law had to take him out of the church.

The funniest vows I heard were at a college buddy’s wedding. Apparently he thought it would be really romantic to write his vows as a narrative of how he met the bride. Turns out, though, that he must have mixed up how he met her with how he met some previous girlfriend. They ended up getting married but he says she never lets him live that down.

Funniest vows I ever heard were at a friends wedding, when the groom nervously said, "I promise not to sleep around on you. Just kidding".

At my friends wedding they had a silver plate collection to raise money for the lucky couple. Instead of just setting a box out though, they had the bride kidnapped and held for "ransom". With style! You see my friends husband is a Martial Arts instructor, so they had a bunch of fellow black belts dress in ninja outfits and come jumping, kicking and flipping in. They had a mini fight scene and they carried her off leaving the ransom note behind. All the money raised had to be matched by the husband. Everyone loved it so much, I think it paid for about 1/2 of their honeymoon!

So... we had one of those outdoor spring weddings in a local park. It was beautiful spring day, but in typical Texas weather fashion, as the time for the ceremony neared the clouds began to build. On the wedding video the intro scrolls down the invite and holds for a few seconds on the line "In the event of inclement weather the ceremony will be held at....". The first scene of the video is of people milling around in the garden and you hear on the audio the voice of my sweet little old grandmother (in her distinct Southern accent) saying "Well, they better get this show on the road. All hell is fixin' to break loose...". The next scene is of us saying our 'I do's" in the middle of a major downpour. I'll never forget looking over at my best man with a bead of water hanging from the tip of his nose....
Immediately after the ceremony it once again cleared up and became a beautiful spring afternoon. To this day people still joke about it. The priest joked that it was the first combination wedding/baptism he had ever presided over. They say that if it rains on your wedding day you are to be rich. So... we should be rolling it dough. I'm still waiting for that to happen....
After the reception died down the bride and I went off to our hotel and we proceeded to do, well... what brides and grooms do once they reach the hotel room after their wedding. However, the telephone would not stop ringing!! We received no less than 5 telephone calls over the next hour, all perfectly timed to induce maximum frustration. These included everything from the bride's father asking what to do about the jukebox we rented for the reception to the hotel concierge wishing us well and making sure everything is alright. In hindsight I have often thought that the right thing to say to the concierge would have been something like: "Yes, everything is wonderful. However, could you please disconnect the phone....".
What a great marriage!

Here is my story. Like all brides I was nervous. I hadn't been able to eat anything for about 48 hours. We (bridesmaids) all got dressed at my maid of honors house. The flourist was late because they had a hard time finding my friends home. It had started to rain (though they say the rain is showers of blessings) I started to cry. My maid of honor was a nurse and so she gave me these pills "something to RELAX my nerves". I took 1, sat down for a bit, and it seemed to work. As I was being helped into my gown, the photographer arrived and still my flowers and all the bridesmaids flowers had not arrived yet, needless to say I started getting angry and agitated. I took another one of those feel good pills. To make a long story short I hadn't eaten in 48 hrs poped 2 of those feel good pills. When we got into the limo to drive to the church I fell asleep in the car. From what I was told by my bridesmaids I WAS OUT LIKE A LIGHT snoring and everything {they even said I was drooling but I think that was a lie lol lol }. When we arrived at the church they had to wake me up and help me out of the car, I knew there was a wedding going on but was sooo out of it to realize it was mine until I looked down at myself and saw that I was wearing a white gown. All I could hear was the chatter of the bridesmaids asking the maid of honor......"how many pills did you give her?" My uncle was my escort up the aisle. Needless to say, I leaned the whole time on him going up the aisle. I was so out of it that I think I would have married ANYONE that was standing at the end of that aisle.

At a friend's wedding the minister was giving his blessing and talking about the beautiful bride. English is not his first language. He was talking about how serene and calm she looked as she walked down the aisle and said her vows, not like some brides who "cry their balls off"... the room went silent, no one knew what to say or do, then after about a minute no one could hold it in any longer, we all started to laugh just as the poor man realized what he said. He meant to say "bawling their eyes out" and just got it completely wrong.
