To ask if anything went wrong on your wedding day?

I got married. 😂

I only got married in early feb this year. We had a fab day but the one thing that pisses me off massively is that dh adult daughter had the audacity to swap our seating plan on the main table (only 45 guests with two long tables, table planned just as we wanted it obviously). When we walked into the room she'd moved herself her dh and dh grandson to the end of the table leaving us sat opposite dh other daughters new boyfriend (who she was with for 5 minutes then dumped and who didn't speak to us all day). In all of my photos of us giving our speeches I have this surly teenager in them. Who the fuck swaps the top table seating plan???!!!'

Not really. Apart from when we told the DJ we were leaving and he said 'aww, but I was going to get you on stage and have everyone sing (Robbie Williams') Angels to you (WTAF was he thinking?!).

Caoilainn try Asda they do big wedding gnomes which you can buy separately.

I'd taken my engagement ring off for the ceremony and given it to my DM. She promptly dropped it down a drain outside the church when handing it back.
The wedding party headed for the reception leaving my uncle Jim and the priest to work out how to retrieve it.

Oh yep. Dh grandad passed out whilst we were taking picture outdoors, and had to be taken to hospital via ambulance so both grandad and mil missed majority of the day.

My father turned up, drank until he was paralytic and passed out on the bar floor.

Oh, and we got locked out of the honeymoon suite because we each thought the other had the keycard 😂

There were lots of things that weren't perfect, the icing on one of the cakes cracked, the helium balloons deflated, one of our guests vomitted in the reception suite, we'd forgotten to ask the ushers to organise the buffet (it was there but nobody knew about it) but all these things we laugh about now.

Not so much my MIL standing on the train of my dress and me talking a pelter during the second dance...

At my first wedding my father nearly didn't show up, arrived late the night before (he was working in London) and barely said a word to anyone. Turned out afterwards he'd had a massive fight with the OW and nearly didn't bother to attend his only daughter's wedding (the OW wasn't happy he was going to be seeing my mother that weekend). For his wedding speech, he stood up, thanked everyone for coming and sat down again. Kept running out to ring the OW from a payphone every 5 minutes. I got married on the Saturday, went on honeymoon on the Sunday and he left my mother for the OW on the Monday. That was 30 years ago and I've not seen him since.

Yep. We got the wrong time so were Late to our own wedding. The florist broke our top table ornament and I tripped over my dress during the dancing and stacked it. It didn’t matter as we had a great day and none of it was worth sweating about.

Yes, the registrar had a speech impediment and couldn't pronounce my name. The best man caught my eye and made me giggle (I'm not proud of it but I was nervous and the way he said my name was comical).

I had hired an indoor casino for during the afternoon drinks reception which didn’t show up on the day. As it turned out it was a roasting hot day and everyone spent the entire afternoon outside in the gardens anyway. I got all my money back and a nice bottle of champagne by way of apology - so it actually worked out better than if they had turned up!

FIL was a dick to DH on the morning of our wedding. MIL was snippy at the reception. Neither of them can bear it when they're not in control of events, should have expected it really.

My mum doesn't normally drink alcohol. She was seven sheets to the wind at my wedding. 'Apparently she had no idea pimms was alcholic and had been necking them.

We had a small wedding abroad. My mum decided to very loudly tell everyone a story about dog shit at the dinner. When nobody reacted she told it again. Louder.

Yes! I decided it was a great idea to apply sun cream when wearing my dress. It wasn't - it squirted out and went on the front, leaving stains!!

Oh and my mum had taken me to collect my wedding dress the day before the wedding, and we then went to Makro to buy cheesecakes for the buffet. Her car gave up the ghost on the M69 and we had to get a lift home from the RAC. The mechanic who took the car in brought my wedding dress round that evening, luckily it wasn't marked.

Oh actually my sisters boyfriend got pissed, was nasty to my mum and tried to set the smoke alarms off by holding a candle up to it. But I didn't know about that until weeks later. And DHs cousin who fell out with us sent me a horrible "anonymous " text in the morning, spent 5 minutes pissed off, turned my phone off and enjoyed the day. It's funny how you filter out the unimportant bits.
And DHs uncle with alzheimers got left at the hotel by MIL because he was struggling to get ready on his own. I was really upset when I found out what happened and it has massively affected how I see her. I wish someone had told me what happened and I'd have called him a taxi myself but they just left him there on his own in his suit. I didn't find out till weeks later.

It went ahead 🥺 Very happily divorced now and with my soul mate.

I've told this under a different username I think, but the minister called my husband the wrong name.

My sister made me twenty minutes late up the aisle....

At my nephew's wedding one of the (elderly) guests died at the end of the evening, of a heart attack. Most of the guests had already gone to bed, but breakfast the next morning was a very sombre affair.

The venue told me their chapel
held 100, turned out it held about 50 seated, 12 standing and 18 standing outside. As I walked towards the chapel I asked why they were all outside? My husband called me my SIL name during the vows, the person doing the reading forgot to bring the reading, my dad stood on my veil as he was getting into his seat and yanked my head back.

The venue ran out of red wine and had to drive to another venue to collect it delaying our dinner and evening reception by 2 hours.

My MIL was being given a lift to the Registry office by the best man. When he arrived to collect her she wasn't dressed, no make up, nothing. He had to wait until she got ready verrrrry slowly , and we couldn't start without him as he had the rings. This was well before mobile phones so we had no idea what was going on, and there was another wedding due straight after ours..
When she finally walked in the RO she showed mock surprise and said 'oh, are you all waiting for meee'.......with a fake girly giggle!!

Later at the reception she got really squiffy and did the can- can and ended up passing out on someones car bonnet.

Bloody. Awful. Woman.

My 4 year old cousin (page boy) dived under the registrar table as we walked up the aisle and my auntie had to dive underneath to fish him out. It was actually great because I was crying and it really broke the ice!

My relatives outdoor wedding was interrupted by a small plane flying low overhead during the vows. It had a banner so We thought it might be something they had put on for the wedding but in fact it was an advert for the local theme park.

I was a bridesmaid for my aunt and the limo driver got lost so the brides dad had to sit in the front and direct him to the ceremony venue.

I think things which (minorly) go wrong make the day special. I don't remember hardly anything about most weddings but the small mistakes make good stories and make it memorable.

My best friends wedding. My sister heard the grooms work colleague say, she could have the groom, if she wanted. The groom spent the whole evening networking. My friend got fed up by the end of the night and she went looking for him. Found him outside with a group of women from work, he then told her to fuck off in front of them.

Oh god, that’s awful!
