Wedding horror/sweet stories?

[peapod1980]

The best wedding we ever attended was billed as an engagement party/shower. When we arrived, there was a big tent, beuatiful food, etc., but didn't suspect a thing. We just thought the hosts had planned the most elaborat e engagement party ever! Suddenly, everyone was asked to gather at the tent, and the bride walked out of the house - she had quickly changed into a beautifully simple wedding dress. The crowd went wild!


I loved my own wedding to Bdarg- second marriage. Planned by us in 2 days, in my grandmother's rose garden. My old cattle dog stood with me as my "bridesmaid". Just immediate family and a supermarket cake with pansies on top. My dad was practically moved to tears of joy that my mom hadn't been able to plan a second "extravaganza"!!

:clap_1: Oh, Jen-ay, I love both those stories!

This is funny...not so much sweet or horror involved. At my second marriage we went the cheap route and got married at the Court House in Mobile. So, after you fill out all the paperwork, you take a number. When your number is displayed on a big digital monitor you go into the judges chambers and he marries you. Guess what our number was? 69. I have a picture of it and will post sometime. My dear best friend who was there with me thought to take a picture of it. We laughed so hard!!!!

Kathy's courthouse wedding story reminded me of my first wedding - I'd almost forgotten. My ex was a foreigner - from Syria. His English was good, but he was so nervous about the vows. The judge we went to actually went with a pretty lengthy ceremony and Ali was sure he would mess up and misspeak. He ended up doing fine. All except for the part when the judge asked for the rings and Ali handed him a pen. At least it was a nice Cross pen - for years we referred to it as "the wedding pen."

I need a scanner- I have a pic of my little cattle dog wearing a bow tie. He was mortified.

So here I am, less that 4 months to go until my wedding and apart from some mild family frustrations, we haven't had any major blowouts or vendor catastrophes or anything of the sort...yet. And, I think I have refrained from any bridezilla episodes.

Anyone have any good wedding planning stories? Anything unusual happen at a wedding you attended?

LOL! I have seen and heard! Good and bad! About 10 years ago I did a wedding where the bride changed the invites 3 weeks before the wedding to tell everyone there was change of groom! They are still married I hear.
