we have 10 days until wedding day……
I am somehow not crazy stressed.
at least…….i don’t think that I am?
one debacle has led to me saying “whatever” to everything else.
short version : a week and a half ago we got a call from the church saying they were missing several of the important forms that we needed to get married, and due to the catholic red tape, we may be out of luck.
all is fine, but it was a hectic 48 hours.
after that, I realized everything else is silly to be stressed about.
say it with me :: we are getting married. that is all that matters.
actually….. that is a lie.
other things that matter:
that it is NOT the first time we will be kissing, so our first kiss won’t look like this.
the greatest wedding show to ever exist.
that no matter what, I know we won’t run out of booze.
I’ve used the phrase “drinking crowd” about 90 times in e-mails that point across 🙂
and that knowing our friends and family, I likely won’t be the worst dancer there.
but I guess there is one thing I keep freaking out about.
that the big thing of food that they put in our getaway car for us to eat when we get back to the hotel won’t get put in the car…. and I will have not eaten any of the yummy food that we picked out.
because this is how I envision myself when we arrive in the honeymoon suite:
beer me. feed me.
I think I have talked about this horror happening about 25 times.
anything amazing that went wrong at your wedding so that we can laugh at your expense now that enough time has passed?
Our food was not in our room after our wedding and I think I became a true bridezilla then. I was a han-gry bride and wanted food stat. It came a short 10 minutes later and I was happy as can be…. late-night food is a must so you have your priorities straight 🙂
I didn't have too many hiccups at my wedding, it rained on my outdoor wedding but I got to go down the aisle twice! And our groomsmen have on 2 different colored pants but I think I was the only one to notice. My sister had about a thousand things go wrong! The 2 bigger/funnier ones were my uncle was given the wrong bible verse to read and read something about 'the uncircumcised man' I kid you not! And she was given the wrong cake so in the pictures where they feed each other the cake my sister is making a hilarious grimace!
Our food was freaking amazing…or so we here. They forgot to put the to-go boxes in the car. Oh well, it was still the best night ever! Also, my father-in-law's rented tux pants ripped up the back while he was dancing, so he had to go find new pants. Pretty hilarious!
Sooo close!!! Ahhhh Catholic churchs are rough. Did you have to take the 200 question quiz that asked the most insane questions ever?! I ate zero food at my wedding and made my husband get me a large cheese pizza after the reception for me to devour 🙂 Don't worry I changed out of my wedding dress before I ate it.
It rained about 20 minutes before the start so our guests had to Sham-Wow their seats dry!
I got married the week of the Final Four championship game a few years ago. Without my prior knowledge, my own father, flesh and blood, thought it would be a "great idea" to have a small, flatscreen TV placed in the lobby of the hotel outside the actual room where my reception was held, to the left side of one of the bars.
I showed up at the reception in my white dress with my handsome new husband, and there is a god damn TV in the corner.
We just spent $10k on flowers in the room, AND THERE IS A GOD DAMN TV in the corner.
I was about to have a massive meltdown when one of my sorority sisters intercepted me and was like, "Look, no one is going to notice it and even if they do, they'll think you are the coolest bride to allow your male guests to enjoy the Final Four championship game at your wedding." Turns out, she was totally right and 90% of my guests didn't even see the TV, but the ones who did loved it.
My dad still insists that this was a "great idea" to which my response is consistently, "Only the douches who I was required to invite watched it." Also, despite the TV, I still get compliments on how amazing our wedding was, which makes me eternally happy.
seriously was dying laughing reading this post! i hope you got everything figured out with the church and desperately hope they don't forget your food in the getaway car. because i have never heard of a better idea!
two embarassing things from my wedding that hopefully you can get a kick out of:
1. completely botched the vows. we decided we would memorize them and all morning i was reciting them no problem, while my husband says he kept stumbling over them. get up there and he says them perfectly, doesn't miss a beat and i forget everything after the first line and then mix up the words. everyone is staring at me while i am all deer in the headlights, completely blanked.
2. then my veil fell out.
so there's that!

Hilarious! Our food DID NOT get put in our car and as we made it up to the Westin in Charlotte (we got married on a lake in the area- so kind of a haul to downtown) we had no food. Frantically searched the car and nothing. Oh but that night there was a special gala and the Westin room service couldn't spare anything. So we ended up at the nearest Wendy's drive in my wedding gown and my husbands tux…ordering a million things…as well as asking what type of ball we had just attended.
Drive Thru* and *being asked what type of ball we had just attended (ahhh auto correct)
Luckily, we had food ready for us and we totally pigged out after our wedding, lol. Buuuut the minister called me 3 different names. One was my actual name, so there's that, lol. And the other two were fairly close. I would answer to either of them in public. You get used to it with a weird name, but seriously. The 3rd time made people laugh. Oh and I had an usher tell me that one of them actually farted while seating someone. I didn't know that until months later. It makes me cringe and think redneck wedding, but at least I didn't know about it.
We had our wedding coordinator have all of the appetizers put together for us so we could eat them before we went out to talk to everyone. I can't talk to people if I am hungry and there is food there. Also, I told everyone how pretty I thought I was because it was my wedding day and that's allowable. Gloat!!
I don't have much to offer in the way of horror wedding stories, mine went off without much of a hitch other than that I had one of the worst head colds of my life the day of my wedding and was basically running on Mucinex and Red Bull.
But at least you don't have to worry about beams of sunlight hitting your crotch or that the 30 custom black marble nudes your ordered made three days before your wedding didn't come out perfect. The Kimye wedding is absurd to the maximum: http://pagesix.com/2014/05/29/golden-toilet-tower-headless-nude-statues-inside-kimyes-wedding/
I broke out in a rash all over my body due to an allergic reaction to an antiobiotic i was put on for my sinuses. So that was fun to airbrush the morning of. The groomsmen all had tuxes that smelled horribly of gasoline. Apparently the rental place was using a new vendor who used shoe wax that smelled like gas, and then they put the shoes and tuxes together to ship. Way to go guys. Finally, one of our groomsmen fell asleep at the BP gas station on Ontario, the one right across from Portillo's. Some random girls found him, told him he was too cute to be sleeping at a gas station, and then drove him to their apartment on the south side. He strolled into the brunch the next morning still in his tux…and with all his body parts. It's all fun and games until one of your groomsmen ends up in Englewood 🙂
