Do you have any wedding stories to tell? They can be yours or someone else's. They can be funny, sneaky, off the wall. Just tell us a wedding story. Here is mine: My husband and I were getting married by the JP. Unfortunately, my husband had been in a tired and miserable mood for days. Sheesh, it was our wedding day. The clerk there said something to my husband about how miserable he looked. I had to use this unisex toilet when I got there. The toilet seat was uppppppp...I had a hard time getting the seat down...and when I finally got it down, I cut my finger and it was bleeding. Then we were in the waiting from quitely arguing about the size of a tip to give the JP. My husband indicated that if you give such a person like that money in his country, you will go to jail for bribery or something. I said this is different. Finally, we get back there and the JP is asking me if I take______ to be my lawfully wedded husband......."I looked directly ahead and said nothing. My husband is looking at me as if to say...say it, say it!!! I said nothing. The JP says...maybe I should say that again. He repeats words....I continued to look forward saying nothing. My husband is looking at me...a bit worried. I looked at him...and said, "I Do"...........we were pronounced husband and wife. My husband had a big smile on his face as did the JP when my husband gave him a veryyyyyyyyyyy large tip! lol

That's so funny! My story would have to be about my parents wedding. Or rather, AFTER the wedding. They went to leave and of course the guests threw rice. Back then you could throw rice, they didn't know it was harmful to birds. Anyway, they go to get in my dad's car to head off to their honeymoon, and when they open the car door, frogs pour out! I mean, hundreds of frogs are in his car. Apparently, my dad's buddies thought this would be a funny prank to pull on the newly married couple. I saw the pictures and I felt so badly for my mom. She was not happy! And these weren't baby frogs, they were big ones!

That's a good one! lol When I started to read what you wrote..."I mean"....I thought you were saying hundreds of mean frogs....lol...I thought to myself. How does she know these frogs were mean? lol There were hundreds of them...did she interview them? I can laugh at this because it did not just happen to her yesterday...If it had been my husband's friends, someone would have been paying big time.

I have two wedding stories, one that i was involved with. When I was about 3 or 4 years old, another girl and I were flower girls in my aunt's wedding. While we were all standing at the altar, I somehow convinced this other girl to pull her dress up over her head during prayer. I don't remember doing it, since I was so little, but my mother has told me on many occasions what a bad influence I am.
And the last wedding I went to, both the bride and the maid of honor showed up to the wedding wearing stripper shoes. Stripper shoes!! I couldn't believe it. It was very white trash. Anyway, that marriage didn't last. I can't say I was surprised.

Erm when I got married, you know the bit where you say "I take xxxx as my lawful wedded husband"? Well I didn't realise why people were giggling when I said this line until I saw it played back on video later and I had blatantly said "I take xxxx as my awful wedded husband!" The registrar didn't even notice and neither did hubby but I was quite embarrassed about it and people teased me for years about it! Then again, I'm sure I'm not the first person to have done that, nor will I be the last LOL!

I love it. That is too cute. If I said that, my husband would have been the very first to notice.

Nice story pal. I cannot think of any right now. Infact nothing worth mentioning specially has happened in any of the weddings I've visited. All have been Indian traditional weddings. I'm not married yet, and won't be for a very long time, lol.

I wanted to release butterflies at my wedding since it was outside in a garden. All the bridesmaids and groomsmen had them and when we kissed they were suppose to release them. The wind was blowing so hard that day that they had trouble flying away. Poor little things. One flew in my mother in laws hair and what was cool was I got to pick one up with my hand off my husbands pants it was really neat. My photographer sucked and the place I can't remember what the name was but where we got the tux screwed up everyones tux.

That is so cool...I hope the photographer got a picture of you picking the butterfly off your husband's pants. I think something always goes wrong at weddings or receptions. Very few people can say nothing went wrong.

Hi. I thought your guy would be shocking seeing you standing in front of him without saying anything.
Well i have a story of my wedding too.
The presenter who also our wedding planner wanted us to pronounce the bow of husband and wife as he would help us to pronounce while we just following him coz we couldn't memorize it in short time. So when the time come we walked to the small stage that was provided for that. Then he started to ask us to pronounce following him. The 1st to did that was my guy and he did it so well and my turn. But while i was saying it, i was kinda touched and i started to cry. For you to know if i cry i couldnt speak anymmore, but that time i did it well and i made my guy touched too and he alomost cried. And the best thing was that i made part of the guests touched set tears especially the woman. Coz it had never been any kinda moment happened before.

Bless your heart! I'm glad your wedding had a happy ending!
I have a funny one to tell on both me and my husband. When we got married it was three days before Christmas and extremely cold. The wind chill factor was almost zero. I was worried about my guests getting cold so when I took my dress to the church that morning silly me put the thermostat on 80! When I got there that night the candles were all bent over like a shepherd's crook, LOL. Luckily the lady who I bought my candles/flowers from had an extra box with her and it had exactly enough to replace every one.
My husband pulled a funny also. When he got to the church he was driving my car. When he got out he forgot and left the motor running and the lights on, but he locked the care, LOL. I had an extra set of keys at home so my stepfather drove me there and we got the keys and came back, LOL.
After all of that we had a wonderful wedding and we will be celebrating 24 years in December.
Have a wonderful day!

Who would have ever thought the candles would bend at 80 degrees? That is so funny! A car motor running and you can't get into the car.

Hello there, my story is from the wedding of the cousin of my ex Girl friend's wedding. I was the best man and I had too much to eat during the reception. Well maybe it was something I ate or drank can't tell to this day. But I had this terrible stomach aching which got me locked in the toilets during most of the reception and I was so sick that I was literally sitting naked in the toilet. And people where banging on the door for me to get out for the photos hoot. This was very embarrassing.
