The Name Game

"I realized after the wedding I spelled my grandmother's name wrong in the wedding programs in the memorial section listing all of our grandparents who had passed away. Her name is Catharine and I spelled it P-A-T-R-I-C-A. The worst part is I'm named after her. (My caterer's name is Patrica and I was talking to her while I was typing the programs.)" -- sweetie0228

No Passage

"I accidentally asked my cousin to read the wrong passage from the Bible. Fortunately, we caught the mistake, but it was still printed in the programs with the incorrect verses. I meant for him to read from John I, about how all love comes from God. Instead, I gave him (and the program printer) the verses for the passage on the anti-Christ." -- Phantomgirl

Give and Take

"My mother-in-law walked around the reception hall before everyone was seated and took the chocolate-covered sunflower seed favors off some of the tables and put them in her purse. There are actual pictures of her doing this. I thought it was hilarious. So now I give her a couple of packs of the seeds every year for Christmas." -- saraelizabeth28

Cougar Alert

"Our best man announced during his speech that most of my husband's friends have had crushes on my mother-in-law. Then about 20 minutes later, my husband and I were greeting tables and I heard the song 'Mrs. Robinson' start playing. Yes, the song about the older woman that has an affair with a younger man. All of our groomsmen brought my mother-in-law onto the dance floor and proceeded to dance around her! My father-in-law finally interjected and finished up the song with his wife." -- melabes9846

Bottoms Up

"I fell smack-dab on my bottom during our first dance! My husband and I did a nonchoreographed swing dance to Bobby Darin's 'More.' We've been attending our school's swing club for a few years and I had practiced a few moves at all of my dress fittings. It seemed like we could do it. But when the moment came, I took too big of a step backward and tripped on the back of my dress. There was no stopping me -- down I went! My husband helped me up, and I spent the rest of the dance and the remainder of the night carrying my short train." -- Jeffie86

Sole-Less

"Our grandparents walked in the processional, and when my husband's grandparents were walking down the aisle you could hear a strange noise with each step. Halfway down the aisle, the sole fell off of his 20-year-old shoes. In the video you can see someone jump into the aisle from the seat to pick up the sole so that nobody slipped on it!" -- Mimi63

The Ex Factor

"When it came to our best man's speech, it was nothing but trouble. He was already a few drinks in, so I was nervous about it. He stood up, kind of swaying around with the microphone, and was a little hard to understand. First, he started with a story about my husband and him driving his dad's truck years ago with one person standing in the bed of the truck and the other speeding down a dirt road. His dad hadn't even known that had happened until the speech! He then proceeded to talk about my husband's ex-girlfriends, 'not that he's had too many girlfriends,' and then added, 'They were all nice!' He just went on and on. And of course the whole thing is on our video, so we never get to forget it -- and he'll never live it down!" -- vmiller_21

On Display

"My sister, who was my maid of honor, had a bit too much to drink and fell on the dance floor, completely ripping open the back of her dress. I quickly got her a jacket but she threw it at me while yelling, 'I have no shame!' She spent the rest of the night walking around with her dress completely open. I have to say it was more embarrassing for me than her!" -- raccooneyes86

Pet Names

"My maid of honor referred to me as her 'favorite Swedish slut' in her speech. It's an inside joke between us -- but I didn't expect her to say it -- and it's really hard to explain to my friends, family, and my coworkers! My husband even leaned over and said, 'You'll have to explain that one later.' I was mortified." -- SoonAKuhn

Paper Trail

"The florist forgot to bring the aisle runner, so we used a paper one that the church had. They pinned it down to the carpet in the aisle and when I walked over it, my train snagged the pins and I was dragging the runner up the aisle with me until a guest helped me out!" -- Fenderbot
