Watching that made me incredibly grateful we had a relatively drama-free wedding day. Believe me: I had fears. An outdoor wedding in a place where you don't have a clue of a backup location? What if it rains? People traveling from hundreds of miles away to be part of the day? What if flights are delayed or traffic jams pop up? Recorded music? What if it fails? Carting the entire wedding from 1100 miles away? What if I left something key (like the ring) on the dining room table?
We were grateful that no bad weather fell on us - not only on the wedding day itself, but for the entire week of a honeymoon that we stayed there in Florida.
And I'm pretty sure the only significant travel delays happened to us. You remember the three hour traffic jam when we were just ten minutes from our destination, right?
But I gotta know - did you have a disaster at your wedding? Or at a wedding you were part of?
I think other than my zipper breaking for one wedding where I was a bridesmaid, and elbow length gloves cutting off my arm circulation for another wedding where I was a bridesmaid, most of my weddings were mostly drama-free. There was the wedding I coordinated where I fell through a hole in the floor at the end, while blowing out candles, but the church had mostly emptied out, so that wasn't so awful. (And I suffered no broken bones, so that was an extra plus.)
Hopefully your wedding disasters didn't result in the need for an emergency rooms, but if you have any good stories, hit me with them! I love a good story!

I'm sure you've heard the story of my brother's wedding, in fact - I think maybe I told it to Ryan at Ivanhoes - but if not, hit me up for it on Saturday. It can only be told in person. :)
At our friends' wedding the unity candle didn't light. It wasn't a disaster but it was pretty funny.
Also, at my other friends' wedding he dropped the ring and it rolled off the platform at the front of the church and under a pew. There was a slight delay while a couple of the groomsmen crawled on the floor to find it! Again, it was more funny than a disaster :)
Also my friends got married a few days after the big blackout which took out the Eastern seaboard and so one of our friends didn't make it to the wedding because of cancelled flight :(
At my sister's wedding, the two witnesses got lost and were MIA when they were called up by the rabbi!
Julie - That very story was on my mind as I wrote. If you ever want to guest post that story, let me know. It is my top favorite.
Natasha - I feel like unity candles may be responsible for many a wedding mishap - in a variety of ways. So funny about the ring! Not funny about canceled flights. Sadness!!
Tamar - Oh my word!! Did they ever get there?
