Everythings been booked for the big day: the castle hotel accommodation for all the guests and the reception, the cake, matching bridesmaid’s dresses, everything seems to be running fine.
Then one of these 5 things happen:
- The bride or groom doesnt show up. Ouch, very humiliating, afew hundred people coming out only to see you sobbing at the footsteps of the church. My sympathies if this has happened to you. Sometimes its a case of cold feet, sudden realisation or blind panic that makes them decide to make a run for it.
- The ‘tv moment shock revelation’ in the middle of the vows. Some people just cant ‘forever hold thier peace’, and decide now is the time to tell not only the bride and groom, but their entire families to. Anything from a past act of infidelity being made known to the bride and groom actually being twins seperated at birth -if you have to tell them something, do it in advance and save them the embarassment.
- The rings disapear. It seems like a situation from a comedy tv show, but this does happen. The items that bring the couple together gets lost in the rush to get everything ready on the day, only to be discovered far too late. These are the important objects bringing these two people together ’till death do they part’.
- Uninvited guests gatecarshing the wedding. The jilted ex, whose goal is to ruin the big day by any means necessary or declare their love for one of the intended party, the work collegue who never got their invite and makes it known at every oppotunity. Unwanted guests can choose their moment to act out for maximum effect -let people know that certain people arent to be let in and turned away from the event.
- Hundreds of the smaller matters to attend to. On the wedding day, the smallest thing that goes wrong can seem much bigger than it actually is, but telling the bride this may just send her over the edge. The caterers can bring the wrong food, the best man goes too far with the speech, the limo is the wrong colour -its a minefield. So just try to take it all in your stride -and pray.
