Today I went to a meeting with the DJ for our wedding. As we were discussing things we do/don’t want at the wedding, we started talking about wedding horror stories. What horror stories have you witnessed at weddings?
We’ve all heard about bridezillas - I can’t blame them! Dealing with so many vendors and family is enough to make anyones head spin. But what really amazes me is how people (both vendors & guests) will show their true colors on that special day. Most of the time people will “man up” and do the right thing, but sometimes…. sometimes people (or their dogs) just fuck up.
I’m sure everyone was mortified at the time, but they can look back and laugh about it now!
A friend of mine gave her DJ a list of songs that her and the groom wanted to be played at the wedding. The DJ didn’t play ANY of them! He was so unprepared that he announced the couple with the brides maiden name!
The DJ told us a story from his father’s wedding. It was 30+ years ago, so all of the photography was done with film. The groom didn’t read the fine print of the contract where the photographer stated that he was limited to a number of photos. They had to make every picture count - which is almost impossible when everyone has been drinking!
At a friend’s wedding, the best man was WASTED by the time he had to give his speech. Instead of writing it ahead of time, he decided to “wing it”. As he was rambling on about knowing the groom, he said “I remember all the nights we used to spend hooking up…. uh…. our uh… Xboxes.” Before he could finish his sentence, the crowd started clapping and laughing - except the bride.
A personal (almost) mistake was at a family wedding. I was talking to these two gorgeous identical twins. They were both 6ft with short brown hair and Emerald green eyes. Mike was a firefighter and Mark was a police officer. I’ll be honest, I’m a sucker for a man in uniform - especially firefighters. So one drink led to another and Mike asked if I wanted to split. We snuck out of the reception, but ran into my mom in the parking lot. I told her that we were going to grab a drink and that was when she grabbed my wrist and whispered, “Lindsay, he’s your cousin!”
