Epic Wedding Moments We Can All Relate To

A wedding is often described as the most unforgettable day of a person’s life. Couples strive for this day to be perfect, but often, it becomes an emotional roller coaster ride.

Preparing for the ceremony can be stressful for the soon-to-be-married couple but spending months or even years of planning won’t guarantee a flawless wedding. We’ve gathered some of the most epic wedding moments, both good and bad, that wedding attendees have experienced.

Read on to see if you can relate to some of them.

A Moment of Confusion

Many people expect the best man and the maid of honor to give a speech to the married couple during the reception. Still, some speeches don’t go as planned no matter how much time they get to prepare. “My dad was the best man at this one wedding. During the reception, when he was about to give a speech, he forgot the bride’s name. He spent a good ten seconds hastily whispering to himself random names of girls who could possibly be the wife. Since he was holding the mic, everyone in the room could hear it. To others, it sounded like a long list of the groom’s past girlfriends.”

Just A-Pizza Advice

“The minister had made it clear he wouldn’t stand for any shenanigans. One of the groomsmen had a pizza delivered during the ceremony. The pizza guy walked up the center aisle, called out the groomsman’s name. The groomsman paid for the pizza and placed it on the ground next to him. Nobody laughed. Nobody moved. The minister just did this laser-death-stare at the pizza guy and then at the groomsmen. After the pizza guy left, there was a long moment of more silence. And then the minister continued from where he left off. It was extremely awkward for everyone.”

Stealing the Spotlight

If there’s one unspoken rule in any wedding, it would have to be to never steal the spotlight from the newlywed couple. Then again, some guests simply think that getting everyone else’s attention is perfectly fine, just like what this guy experienced. “I attended the bar at a wedding where one of the male guests found it to be just the right moment to propose to his girlfriend. The girlfriend started to cry and yelled out apologies to the bride as she bolted out of there. Protip: Never propose during a wedding, it’s supposed to be the bride & groom’s day.”

It’s A Small World After All

Running into someone you know on any given day is not impossible. However, running into someone you know who turns out to be one of your wife’s exes during your wedding day is just a one-in-a-million event. “My aunt had her third wedding about a month ago. She invited all of her previous husbands because she enjoys drama. Turns out one of them went to the same high school as her new hubby. They spent most of the ceremony catching up and he didn’t pay much attention to my aunt.”
