A memorable wedding
A friend's son got married when the western part of the U.S. underwent an 11-state black-out, and the wedding had to be moved outside so we could see. One of my daughters (who was age 3 at the time) was fascinated with the fact that when she pulled on the handle of a car door, it would make noise! About five or six car alarms went off before the troublemaker was located, and it was hard to admit that it was MY child.

the old switcheroo
I remember a way funnier moment than the ministers nose. My BFs hubby(aka the best man), my hubby and the DJ thought that during the removal of the garter they would blindfold me. unbenownst to me before they took the blindfold off my BFs hubby got down on his knees in front of me, garter in his mouth, in place of my hubby. Blindfold off and me in shock and for the barest of seconds thinking my BFs hubby was under my dress fishing for the garter!LOL the pics were hilarious. Good thing i have a sense of humor. A few people were offended but everyone else cackled.

the ministers nose
the minister for my wedding had a huge scab on his nose and it had been a matter of debate whether or not it was actually a mole.i was so nervous before the wedding that i almost tossed my cookies in my BF's van, but when i got to my waiting future hubby i looked at the minister and had to fake cough to cover up my giggle.(didn't help that my hubby's best man was smirking).

Hindu wedding for non indian familly
DH is Indian and I'm Swiss, and last year we had a full blast hindu wedding in India (where I live). Now obviously my guest list was small as very few would go all the way to india from Switzerland, but my mom, sister and 2 firends came. Hindu weddings have a lot of functions and traditions, and the ceremony happens hunder a canopy where the bride and groom must be bare foot, so we removed our shoes before entering the "mandap" (canopy). One tradition wants that right after the groom remove his shoes, the bride's sister steal his shoes to then bargain a price with the groom at the end of the ceremony. Yes the groom has to buy his shoes back. My in-law familly tried to teach my sis about it as i forgot to do so, but since she doesn't speak english well (we speak french) she understood it as "Take the groom's shoes and hide them somewhere for him to find later" So she tried to sneak away with the shoes to hide them away and one of my SIL ran after her to explain it to her all over again LOL. In the end my sister gave DH a though fight to get his shoes back and had the whole new big familly laughing like crazy. Dh wasn't fair because my sister asked for 2000 rupees a shoe LOL and he paid her that stealing the other shoe from her :-)

TP Funny
I was a bridesmaid for my brother's wedding, and was made to wear this huge purple monstrosity of a dress. At the reception I had to use the bathroom, and it's no small feat trying to squash yourself into a teeny little bathroom stall and still keep your dress intact. Later during the reception, the photographer came by to take a family portrait. We all posed and smiled, and no sooner did he snap the picture and leave that I glanced down and realized I had a piece of toilet paper stuck to my chest! I had no idea how it got there or how long I'd been walking around like that, but I chased the photographer down and made him take another family portrait, this time without toilet paper hanging off my boob. ;)

You are not doing that right!
At my neice's wedding she had my 4 year old nephew and another 4 year old neice as ring bearer and flower girl. Everything was going nicely as the wedding started and the ring bearer and flower girl were walking as practiced down the isle. They got to the place were the flower girl was supposed to start dropping petals and apparently she wasn't doing it as well as the ring bearer thought she should. He decides he's going to go help her and she gets mad as he's trying to grab her basket. She takes off running back out of the church. He steps on the hem of her dress trying to catch her and she falls knocking her glasses off. The screaming battle between them lasted just seconds until the groomsmen broke it up but it was enough to have the entire congregation laughing hysterically.

My cousin's was suffering from awful morning sickness, and that, combined with her nerves, made for a very green bride. Some of the family are still very old-fashioned, so she chose to keep her pregnancy a secret from them, but apparently one of her sisters didn't. During the ceremony when my cousin suddenly swooned and looked like she was going to hurl, her sister's daughter, age 9, said, "UGH! Can't you take medicine for morning sickness? I'm ready to GO already!"

um
During a friend's wedding, her 2yo nephew, standing near the row of bridesmaids, decided to investigate just what the one overly-endowed maid of honor had on underneath her fuschia monstrosity, I mean, gown. He leaned over and grabbed the hem, then laid on the floor between her legs and looked up. She was just about to pick him up when he suddenly exclaimed "OOOH, SPARKLY!" Nobody had the guts to ask WHAT was "sparkly", lol.

Oh no I swore in front of the pastor
At my wedding, many years ago, my bridesmaids each tripped on the front of their dresses on the way up the altar steps. Then one at a time each of them swore under their breath and then panicked about whether the pastor had heard them or not. By the time it was over they'd each said their chosen swear word about 4 times--and yes, the pastor did hear! :)

Funny Flower Girl
At my sister's wedding the flower girl...passed gas, while I was straightening my sister's train. Then she proceeded to ask, in her very loud 4 yr old voice--"I farted, did you hear it? Boy that really smells, do you smell that?" Until the first four rows of the church and the entire wedding party was laughing until we were near tears. Except, of course, for the flower girl's mother, who was red faced and wanting to hide!
