Because my reception site failed us in 100 different ways, we had mini disasters from the time the reception started to the very end.
Nothing compared though to my mother falling and shattering her shoulder during our Mother/Daughter dance. She was able to stay long enough for us to cut the cake but than had to go to the hospital. It was heartbreaking but we try and joke about it now.

Oh, I almost forgot, I was at a wedding where the bride was sick. She was throwing up and they were not sure if she could even leave the bridal suite. She was finally introduced partway through dinner. She danced her first dance with her husband, then sat down at her table and watched the reception for a little while. The photographer got some photos and then she was back into the bridal suite.

Unfortunately, a bride I knew changed venues less than 2 months before her wedding and the new location could not fit the # of guests she expected, and she had already sent invites out!
Rather than postpone the wedding or find another venue, she switched the reception to a cocktail style reception (but it was still 5 hours), thinking that people would mingle and everyone would not need a seat at the same time. She thought that people could basically take turns sitting at the tables. Well, the guests caught wind that there wouldn't be enough seats and when the doors open, they sprang for the tables and put their purses and coats down to reserve the tables for their family and friends.
Some key relatives were left without seats or with cocktail style seats along the dancefloor and across the room from the other relatives. The MOB did not have a table. The bride and groom did not have a table. And to make matters worse, the hall she had it in 'forgot' to inform her that they had guests staying at the inn who would need to cut through the reception room to make it to their hotel rooms! This was apparently the only access. So there were strangers walking across the dancefloor all night.![]()
