I have a funny story from my wedding, the Scottish chef who we had known for years had stopped drinking for a few days prior to the wedding, but unfortunately this gave him the shakes and he dropped my wedding cake as he carried it into the reception venue, in front of everyone. Luckily it was a traditional English fruit cake and wasn't completely destroyed, so we still ate it!!! Moral of the story, you can't control every eventuality, something will go wrong, and if it does, oh well! I went to a wedding where they had a choir to sing all the hymns. I suppose they had hoped it would be really romantic, but they were all really really old ladies, and sang with high pitched screechy voices. It was so funny, and when they started to sing "It's Only Just Begun" by The Carpenters, it was horrid. My sister couldn't stop laughing and her makeup ran down her face, the bride was sooo annoyed, the groom started laughing and the bridesmaids too. It was so embarrassing, that people were shushing us. Anyway, as the bride and groom had to walk past the choir (Whilst the choir was singing) to take their vows, the groom lost the plot and was hysterical, and the bride was so annoyed, she wouldn't look at him! I guess the moral is to listen to the musicians you hire first, or it may have the opposite effect. At my sister and her husbands wedding, all was silent as they were about to kneel and take their vows, and you could have heard a pin drop, then [my sister] knelt down and you heard the loudest click from her knees. So funny. Dawn - UK | I have one more really funny wedding story, it is from my friend at work. They are both Harley Riders, and wore black clothes and big boots to the wedding, and at the registry office they chose Rolling Stones "gi'me shelter" to play as they walked in together, but they took too long to walk in and by the time they got there, it was playing the next track "I cant get no satisfaction"! The whole room was hysterical. It could have been awful, but turned out to be very funny and made the day more memorable.

| As I was at my house getting ready for my wedding, I got my veil stuck on the rose bushes, and my father had to help me get unhooked. Then he suggested going down to the local pub for a quick drink before the ceremony. As he was plowing me with wine, he tried to talk me out of the wedding. He said the money didn't matter, he just wanted me to be happy. So I ignored my father's advice, and went through with my wedding. That was 30 years ago, and everything has turned out fine.
