My girlfriend and I went to a wedding on Saturday. During the vows, the vicar got the bride's name wrong. Even worse, the name he said was her sister's!

What's gone wrong at weddings you've been to?

wedding at the cape where everyone got trashed and the bride passed out on the beach in her wedding dress

quaker wedding where all the bride's friends proceeded to in no uncertain terms warn the groom that if he hurt her they would hunt him down like a dog (great drama, all of us were thinkng 'what an exciting wedding')

at mine the tape with the wedding music on it got to the end and clicked off halfway through. didn't take him long to turn it over though. he looked like Shaft so that was ok.

Mark H is living in an episode of 'Friends'.

they should write an episode based on this, it'd be great TV.

― g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 7 October 2002 12:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Can you kick all the others while you're there? Ta.

Can we not introduce whirling helicopter blades into this charming wedding scenario?

Hahaha the ER/Friends crossover episode!

Can we do funerals, too?

At my best friend's funeral a few years ago, the minister kept refering to the deceased by his brother's name, Eric. Every time he mournfully said the name Eric there'd be a chorus of "Fred!"'s throughout the church until finally around the 4th or 5th time the entire church erupted with one huge "FRRREEEEEDDDDDD!". It was pretty cathartic.

I'm sure Fred was very pleased.

Did the minister apologize or did you just beat him up?

Both Chris and Nicole reported wedding DJ disasters this year. I will therefore ensure that should marriage occur for me, the person in charge of the music WILL be me.

At my brothers wedding it was a friend of ours, he managed to please everybody actually, parents and all, and yet he finished with The Streets-Weak Become Heroes, the ashley beedle remix, it was a great day...

The worst mishap was the wedding I went to where the bride's father came into the reception, made a big scene, and basically threatened to disinherit his daughter.

Another frequent wedding problem is outdoor receptions held in 95-100 degree weather. Yuck.

My wedding was outdoors, and it looked like it was about to rain, so we were all in a bit of a hurry. I didn't really trust my six year old ring-bearing brother with the rings, so I tied them to the pillow with those silk strings they have on ring-bearing pillows. It wasn't even a real knot, just, like, half of a square knot, you know? But when the time came for the rings during the wedding, I couldn't for the life of me get the damn things off. After a couple of endless struggling minutes I ended up tearing them off, and my wife and I exchanged rings with silk cords dangling off them. Everyone pretty much agreed, though, that it was entertaining, and lightened things up.

Did the minister apologize or did you just beat him up?

Nah, we (or at least I) felt a bit sorry for him. Plus, like I said, the roar of the final "FRED" was very cathartic and amusing.

At my wedding it was the first time my in-laws had ever heard my middle name. I would try to keep it quiet here but Andrew L or Tim B will tell you, so I may as well admit it's Herbert. Considerable laughter, with very poor attempts to muffle it.
