(1) my makeup artist noticed my veil was on upside down so i had to go back to the salon to get it fixed.
(2) the salon my sister (MOH) went to screwed up her hair not once but twice so badly that she had to come home and redo her own hair.
(3) 2 bms were an hr and a half late to my house
(4) my sister (MOH again) looked up and said 'I think the rain is going to hold out' and a bird pooped right on her forehead.
(5) as DH and i were going to thank the string quartet, the deacon was walking behind us and stepped on the back of my dress and RIIIIIIIPPPP. 8/12 hook and eyes got ripped out of my detachable train...thank goodness fore safety pins.
(6) Taking pics...photographer take dh and i down to the water to take pics and a swarm of mini dragonflies flew up into the layers underneath my dress so the entire time from the picture location to the hall, dh was picking bugs out of the layers under my gown.
(7) During the cocktail hour, the kids were playing with color wonder stuff we had gotten them (bp kids). What we didnt realize was that there was a trial size of crayola paint with the color wonder stuff. Next thing i know my niece turns around and says 'aunt lynnie' i look at her and she is covered in BLUE PAINT! Looks like someone threw blue paint all over her. Somehow, my sister in law got it off of the dress and dried the dress in time to be announced into the reception!!
(8) our percussionist never showed up. The photo montage was also done at a strange time.
(9) flowers were completely wrong.
(10) air conditioner barely worked in the rolls royce; and the radio didnt work in the rolls at all.
I think thats it. It was still by far the best day of our lives

Re: What went wrong?
Where do I start....
-Had to boot my MOH a few weeks prior to the wedding, then one of DH's guys was a no show
-DH's made a song for me to walk down the aisle to, he couldn't get it to burn to a CD so I had to find a song and burn a CD while I was getting my hair and MU done.
-Someone forgot to put water in the floating unity candle vase...they just sat it on the side of the empty vase and we had to light it that way.
-They played the wrong processional music, so I still didn't walk down the aisle to what I wanted...and the music started skipping when my girls were walking down.
-Our DJ (One of DH's best friends) FORGOT our song list!
-Wasnt happy with the way my centerpieces were done
-Last and the only thing I would wish to change if I had to do it again, DH's Mom, aunt, and three cousins were in a bad car accident on the way to the reception.

1)Well, it poured on my wedding day. My limo driver refused to pick us up in the rain so we were 1 hour late for the ceremony. My guests were waiting in the lobby and they all saw me ran inside inside.
2) DH and I didn't know what to do with the unity candle. We just stared at each other until our officiant gave us instructions. :lol
3) My mom forgot to bring the tea set for the Tea Ceremony. Good thing my RH had a backup.
4) I forgot to put my shoes back on for the mother/ daughter dance.
5) I was dancing with my MOH during the reception. I forgot what exactly happened but we were holding hands swinging really fast in a circle. I lost my balance so I let go because I didn't want to take her down with me. As soon as I let go, my MOH went flying across the dance floor and landed on her behind. OMG! I feel so bad but she laughed it off.
your limo driver should be fired

Re: What went wrong?
1. I was very uphappy with one of my vendors, the way this person is raved about you would think they were amazing. I felt they were very unorganized/unprofessional. If i didn't think it would be taken down i'd write about it!
2. this is just something that bothers me-when my dad lifted my veil an kissed me i wish I gave him a huge hug, instead I just kissed him on the check quick. I was just so excited I didnt take the time to do that
3. My hair fell, but it was a HUMID day and I was just lucky it didnt rain

Re: What went wrong?
For the most part things went well. Just small stuff:
The electric went off at the hotel while Roseanna was doing everyone's hair The pearl dropped off Debi's one earring The sun was both a blessing and an irritation w/photographing outside pics/squinting!!! Debi said someone spelled champagne/beer on her gown Mary MOB

Re: What went wrong?
Most of my issues were small ones but they still bother me even though it was still the best day of my life:
1) My bo-k was wrong. 2) My MOH's bo-k was supposed to be bigger than the BMs and there was absolutely NO DIFFERENCE 3) They forgot the best man's flower. So they gave him my grandfather's. I was so mad I wanted my mom to call the florist but she just had someone go to a local florist and get him one. Which worked out fine. 4) All of my flowers were delivered to my house where the guys were getting ready when I had just the day before the wedding gone over this with the florist that they were to be delivered to my mother's house. Thankfully our best man realized that the flowers were in the wrong place. 5) the limo driver for the BP was really rude to the GMs. 6) We added a limo at the end of the reception to take my family home. The limo co. thought I was replacing mine and DH's town car with the limo even though I never said to upgrade or replace I simply said we wanted to add an additional limo to what we were getting. So at the end of the night no car or way to get to the hotel for DH and I. Luckily my Mom had refused to go until she saw us off and we were able to hop in the limo. 7) Limo co. agreed to make it up to us by picking us up from the airport on our way back from HM. Our flight was cancelled and we came back a day later. We had FIL call them and they said they had all the new flight info already. Well....they didn't and again no car when we got back. We had to call and then wait around an extra 45 min until a car was sent. 8) My bra broke and the wire kept coming out and stabbing me in the chest. Which actually was kind of funny in the end b/c everyone kept trying to help push it back into the bra. 9) Issues with photographer and proofs which I am still waiting for a call back on to see if it can be resolved. 10) I just got so busy saying hi to everyone that I realized too late that I never got to dance with my grandfather 11) One of the staff members at the RH dropped the top of my cake after it was boxed up. I actually felt really bad for him when I found out b/c according to my aunt he was shaking as he tried to fix it (which was impossible). It really didn't matter though b/c I was so anti saving the cake anyway. Just feel bad for the guy who was miserable probably worrying about a possible bridezilla freaking out

Re: What went wrong?
we had a number of food and beverage things go wrong....but I put spray makeup on my legs..( I had a short dress) and it got all over the front of my dress when I put it on. Thank heavens for the makeup removing wipes I had in the room, they helped a bit.

Re: What went wrong?
for the most part everything went very smooth. ALl our vendors did great and not one disappointed me.
One thing that did happen was after our ceremony my cousin who was a BM got a phone call and she ran off the bus crying. I didnt know what happened since i was outside taking pics at the time. Her sister said that her bf was in an accident. My DOC drove her to see her bf, and then they showed up while we were taking pics. He was fine and didnt have a scratch on him. I think whomever called her to tell her was an idiot bc why didnt they just say it was a small fender bender and he is fine, instead of scaring her thinking the worst. Plus i feel bad bc she wasnt there for pics, so pics with the bp she is not in them.
We went to Gantry park first to take pics, we were able to take some pics but then after a short period of time they kicked us out. I had also taken e-pics there and they saw us and didnt say anything so didnt know we needed a permit. I was upset since there were some pics i wanted to take there in certain areas but never got a chance to. Luckily we also had plans to go to another location after which was just a few blocks away.
as i was walking out of the church after ceremony, my veil got caught to some nail in the hallway of the church, i was already walking down the steps and bam next thing i knew i was being pulled back and i almost fell but i caught myself and i had to wait for people to unhook my veil, it was pretty funny actually and i was histerically laughing, i love the pics of it too haha.
Thats it really, can't think of anything else that went wrong.

Re: What went wrong?
The day of the wedding was wonderful – I noticed a few things went wrong but they didn’t bother me too much at the time. But now that I think about it…
1.The flowers stunk. I should have listened to my gut and gone with a company known for quality. The flowers were small and too yellow (they were supposed to be white) and the cp’s were dying even before the reception was half over. The florist acted like I was crazy when I called to complain. I feel like it was a classic “bait and switch”.
2.DH’s brother is an idiot. He was a no show at the rehearsal and then was late to the ceremony. They called his name to go up for his reading and I swear you could hear crickets. Fortunately, a groomsman just walked up and did it. I spotted BIL at the receiving line with soaking wet hair.
3.My other reader also skipped the rehearsal and walked ACROSS THE ALTAR the day of the wedding. The priest specifically wanted them to walk around the altar. Someone forgot her flowers at the hotel.
4.About a dozen people were no-shows at the reception. I can’t even begin to convey how pissed I am about that.
5.An elderly guest fell on his face at the RH and they couldn’t control the bleeding. They had to call 911. I was beside myself. (he’s okay!)
6.It rained and I didn’t get to arrive by yatch or get many pictures outdoors.
7.I lucked out and didn’t get my period like I thought I would the day of. We were “having our moment” at the hotel when someone began to loudly knock on the door. We ignored them and - eventually - they went away.
8. DH’s family hardly danced. Non-pro pics show my whole family and my friends having a great time and his family sitting. I still think it’s strange.
9.My cousin’s new wife didn’t congratulate us or even say hello.
10.Someone accidentally took the top of my cake home and left it in their trunk. They found it 4 days later.

Re: What went wrong?
my florist forgot to put water in our floating centerpiece candles and my dj screwed the dances up and the photo montag. Also the hall threw out a few gift/envelopes, with money in them. Otherwise, nothing much else that I can think of.

Re: What went wrong?
thankfully nothing! everything went according to plan! PHEW!! lol i was so worried things would go wrong! lol
unfortunately someone broke into our card box and ripped open cards looking for cash and they succeeded
luckily they only got away with a little cash but i kills me to think someone would do that.......
all i can say is karma
Did you guys find out who it was?!?!?!?
nope, the hall was overly apologetic, but we have no idea who did it
moral of the story is always give a check just to be safe

Re: What went wrong?
Nothing major went wrong so i guess im really lucky
the only things that remotely bothered me was that my hair fell bc i was sweaty and people kept hugging me and squishing my hair to my back so it fell
My little cousin caught the bok so we couldnt have a guy put the garter on her obviously lol
I was tripping on my dress all night bc my bustle broke

Re: What went wrong?
Nothing too major went wrong with my vendors , just a few little things -
1. My flowers were gorgeous but my bok was smaller then it was supposed to be , and my huppa should have been a little fuller IMO for what I paid for flowers .
2. My band was amazing BUT My band took a half hour break and played a cd right aftet the cake cutting which pissed me off since they assured me that they would be playing music the whole time and SO many people left once the cd went on
3.I was late getting ready so i didn't get to take as many pictures as i wanted to with my BP
4. My limo company screwed up big time and didnt pick up a set of guests for a hotel and driver had an attitude about it
5. Rabbi messed up a little bit during the ceremony and said my grandparents names were DH and vise versa
* The major thing that went wrong was my MOH causing a scene and had to be asked to leave the wedding. I am still not taking to her

Re: What went wrong?
One vendor is RAVED about on here and I was so SO disappointed w/them. Not at all what I expected them to be.
