I love both of these. Sounds like something my mom would say, so I can just picture it!

A girlfriend of mine got married a few years ago. Her new brother in law was doing the toast. And toasted to the groom and the EX wife. oopps! Wrong one.

I don't have any stories to share... but this thread just cracked me up!

These are so funny!

 

I was in this wedding and towards the end of the night, she started opening her gifts...at the reception, in front of everyone...Some one had given her this pricey collector doll, and she opens it and looks at it with this disgusted look, throws it to the side, and then says thank you to whoever, very sarcastically. I was embarrassed to even be there!

Not a funny mishap, but..some people!

oh. my. god. that's fucking hilarious. wonder where your sense of humour comes from?!

i just remembered another long one..and we have it on video, lovely ending...
anyway, traditionally at a jewish wedding, the husband steps on a glass, usually a lightbulb, wrapped in a napkin, to symbolize unbroken love and a whole bunch of other junk. in order to appease both sets of parents (who weren't thrilled w/ a minister marrying us), dh was going to break it. i realize halfway thru the ceremony - he's not wearing shoes!!! the minister says mysteriously, "and we have a surprise for everyone!" and i whisper, "no, he can't, no shoes!" she says, "huh? why aren't you wearing shoes?" and then madness entails.....my cousin (6'+, huge feet) throws a flip flop from the back row to dh (who's 5'8" on a good day). dh puts it on and can't get a grip to break the glass b/c the shoe is so damn big. cousin screams "consider that your wedding gift". dh breaks the glass by slamming his foot down - he was afraid that it wouldn't break, and had he not slammed so hard, it wouldn't have ... even after we told the wc to use a lightbulb, she still wrapped a glass up...and not a wine glass, or a champagne flute...a thick glass that you would ordinarily get a soda in.

This thread is priceless, along with the "would/wouldn't do thread"

Keep 'em coming!

Ok, so I cracked up at your whole entire story, Michelle! I can't even pick one part, cuz I was giggling from the beginning to the end, what a series of funny shit!

Then, after the ceremony they rented a trolley and we had coolers filled with booze. I was taking shots with my dad (I was 19 at the time). The whole wedding party except for me pretty much was tanked by the time we got to the hotel where the reception was. Two of the bridesmaids had to be carried into the hotel, and started throwing up in the room. One passed out in the bathroom. After the reception started they closed the bar for dinner so my dad's best man went out to the trolley and put the coolers of booze on a bellboy cart and wheeled it into the reception hall and poured all of us a shot. My cousin (with the platform shoes) got really wasted and was making all of us do shots at the bar. At the end of the night she got on the microphone the DJ had and told everyone the afterparty was in room # XXX - MY Room! Then she went to go sit back down on the chair at the table and fell. Luckily I just so happened to have my camera handy and got a lovely picture of her spralwed on the floor (which I later blew up and gave to her for Christmas!). Good times!

Rach - OMG, they forgot panties! They ALL did? That's great. I am guessing that there was no wind, or that would've been a-whole-nother buller of mishaps.

 

Btw - you dad sounds familiar, whoooooooo could he remind me of, hmmm?

Holy crap, a fire! Damn, Amy, now that's a mishap!

OMG I don't know how but I never saw this thread before! It is so funny! I've been peeing myself non-stop. Thank goodness I keep a stack of depends in my desk drawer or else I would be in trouble.

I've got a few off my last wedding lol getting married was a major joke to kick off - i had to be carried into the registry office going "no no no i don't want to do it" lmao

 

At my party the DJ thought the bride was the groom's sister!! mostly because they were glued together all night lol so i dirty danced with the best man lmao

 

I got off my face on moscow mule (bad stuff lol) and just left and went home to bed lmao

 

I dread to think what is gonna happen at this one with FMIL bound to be a punch thrown or 2 lmao

 

The funniest I ever heard was my m8s hubby when he gave a speach at his brothers wedding, the bride was about 12 years younger than the groom and he says in his speech well we were all shocked when he proposed and she was so shocked she fell out of bed onto her school uniform pmsl classic
