What where the little things that went wrong??

I had a few...
We left my mom at the hotel (she was supposed to be in the limo to go to giorgio's).
She ended up having to take the shuttle with all the guests.

My cake looked nothing like what i wanted it to or thought it would.

There was a fight at the end when everyone was leaving- thats a big one-

1: My bouquet cascaded and it wasn't supposed to.

2: My SIL's gown (a 2-piece, side zip) broke between ceremony and reception and my grandma had to
sew her in. Damn that Adrienne's Bridal! She told them the zipper felt weird at her last fitting and they told her it was fine. Humph.....

Nothing major, thank goodness!

-my flowers were late and all wrong

-my cake topper wasn't on top of the cake

-my bustle wouldn't stay buttoned

I had the bridesmaid from hell

wench

*My grandma missed my ceremony (darned it LI traffic!)
*The peach in my BM flowers was a VERY pinky-peach (I think they look more pink--I wanted peach)
*We were supposed make our grand entrance by riding in together on ta tandem bicycle, but I couldn't balance on the bike while holding my dress....so he rode the bike in and I ran after him...cute, but not as cute as we had wanted.
*wrong flowers at the ceremony site.

The groom was a little late to the ceremony! I still do not know what happened --I heard that one of the limos was waiting for his parents.

My cake looked nothing like what i wanted and I had paid extra for it.

Some of my husbands' friends got so wasted that they caused a big scene at the end of the night --they tried to steal my friend's cab from her...

Oh I saw some non-professional pics and my headpiece was totally crooked in some pics...oh well...

- reception hall not set up properly
- hall didn't put out all disposable cameras as requested
- hall collected all table numbers (in picture frames) before end of night and packed them for me, instead of leaving them for guests to take. Luckily, I was able to give away over half of the frames at the after-party. What did they think I was going to do with 20 frames?
- photographer almost left 1 hour before end of reception
- priest skipped most of the intentions we asked for
- priest kept calling me by my mother's maiden name during ceremony
- I put DH's ring on his right hand.
Apparently, I did this at rehearsal, too, but no one bothered to tell me!

i guess this thread is kinda related.

-not telling video we want the beach for formal shots is my biggest opps

-not asking for an extra hour to party

-no funny goffy pics taken

-wrong film for table cameras (you want 400 speeds, not 800)

-aunt not takeing out my cousin for ceremony (baby was goo goo and gahgahing during ceremony - it was my ring bearer) so during vows (most important part) you hear him

-skipping cocktail hour...i wish i could attend so i can speak to the guest.

1. My brother, who was a groomsman, was given the wrong color vest, but luckily my father got the same color vest as the groomsman, so he just switched with my brother.

2. My MOH got to wrong color dress! She bought her dress off the rack at David's bridal and the woman the helped her apparently didn't know her colors and gave her lilac instead of periwinkle (I was wondering why she kept saying the dress was purple!). It wasn't a big deal at all though, because she was the MOH and it's okay that she looked a little different.

3. My mother was carrying the box of flowergirl petals and in her excitement when seeing my aunt, dropped it and the petals got strewn all over the floor.

4. The ring bearer started BAWLING his eyes out minutes before the ceremony and the Jr. Groomsman replaced him in a last-minute decision.

5. We were running VERY behind on hair and ended up running downstairs, having an extremely brief discussion of how the ceremony was run, getting in order, and going.

6. Our pastor changed the entire ceremony without discussing it was us, making it a LOT more religious than we wanted. I attempted to put the ring on DH's right hand. We cracked up about it though.

7. It was my MIL's 50th birthday a couple of weeks before the wedding and we wanted to honor it by having a cake brought out and the DJ announcing it and everybody singing 'Happy Birthday.' Well, I forgot the cake at home, but luckily DH was still home and he brought it for me.

Lots of little things went wrong. I was amazingly calm the entire day regardless. I barely even batted an eye when any of this stuff happened. I even surprised myself. I wouldn't have changed anything, regardless of all the things that went wrong.

1- My grandmother missed my ceremony due to traffic. She showed up at the end after i had left, but i saw her at the reception hall.

2 - Wrong flowers on my cake. I asked for red roses (on a white cake) and she put white roses.

3 - My photo guy left an hour and half before the wedding ended telling me all photographers do that. I fought for awhile with him that i knew that was not true and i was right.

4 - I put MY DH ring on the wrong hand until he stated 'wrong hand' to me.

wrong ice sculpture at the CH - more like someone else's

Not allowing us to take pictures at the hall and instead 'deported' us out of sight outside

Never lit the candles!!!! Not at the ceremony!! And, not the centerpieces - the guests actually had to ask them to light it!

We PLANNED for traffic and there was NON!
Belive it or not, it actually was a BAD thing!

I got married at Leonards!

YIKES

- The biggie: DH completely shredded the sleeve of his light green suit in the trunk door THREE days before the wedding! He had to go to Men's Warehouse and get another suit (same one!) and beg them to tailor it within 24 hours so we had it in time for the wedding. I cried so hard when we pulled the shredded suit out of the car!

- flowers were just...not amazing. My petals were never put down in the aisle. This was a huge dissapointment, and it was actually the halls fault.

- DH's entire family showed up to the ceremony LATE (no excuse, just 'running behind!') so his parents escorted each other down the aisle, as their son in law, the USHER was late as well and performed zero usherly duties.

- DJ honored a completely innapropriate song request and I had to ask it be cut off.

- Hair and Makeup went to the wrong location and were 1 hour late.

- Cake had no decorations, flowers, anything on it.


The day was beautiful and the right kind of things went right (beautiful, moving, emotional ceremony. That was the BEST part!)

It IS hard to let go of the above mentioned things though...

EDIT!


I just remembered on thing that made DH and I feel really bad. I specificallly asked our bandleader NOT to play 'At Last' by Etta James. My best friend and BM is divorced and that was her song. Her ex husband (still a close friend of DH) was at our wedding, so I knew neither of them wanted to hear it. We're eating dinner...I look up in shock as my band is playing it and calls it a 'special request.' Turns out a coworker of mine requested it for herself. I felt so bad. My BM was crying and got really upset!

I dropped the lit taper on the altar during the lighting of the unity candle and DH stepped on my dress and ripped my bustle out. Some people may not find this funny but we had a catholic mass and we indicated explicitly that my MOH was NOT catholic and should not be offered communion, well the priest gave communion to DH and I, walked over to our BM and then to my MOH. She freaked out and took it!! She cupped her hands and did the sign of the cross and everything because she saw us do it. I thought she would have kept it in her hand, nope in her mouth it went! She leans over to me and whispers that it's stuck to the roof of her mouth and I just lost it, I couldn't stop laughing all through communion. My father sees this happen and is mouthing the word 'sinner' to her from the first row I kept thinking that DH and I were going straight to hell for that.

Other than that our day was perfect!

My dress got really dirty when i brushed up against the limo.......it took an hour to clean and i missed out on some pics




the guy who married us was a little late so giorgio's was kind enough to extend the coctail hour so we got the full hour

Apparently there was a miscommunication betweeen my florist and I and they never delovered my throw-away bo-k. It was no biggie though because my bridal attendent made me one with the flowers from my chuppha.
My dad trampled all over my train as we went back up the aisle. We had a sunset ceremony and my dad's eyes are not so great.
One of my friends got trashed at the CH and spent half of my wedding throwing up in the bathroom.

- my cake topper was not on my cake
- there was a mistake with table numbers , but no one noticed
- the DJ announced my father and his girlfriend as Mr & Mrs instead of MR accompianed by his girlfriend...
