These 'Wedding Fail' Stories Will Make You Think Twice Before Tying The Knot
By Mustafa GatollariUpdated Oct. 14 2018, 10:24 p.m. ET
Your wedding. The big day. The anticipation, the excitement, the dieting beforehand. The stylists, the outfits, the catering, the dress, the videographer, the best man speech you hope isn't a total mess, your one creepy cousin who hits on every single woman during cocktail hour.
There's a lot to worry about because on this day you're supposed to be celebrating the official union between you and the person you're going to spend the rest of your life with. I mean, statistically speaking there's a good chance you won't be with that person for very long, but still, you want your wedding day to go perfectly.
But if we learned anything from romantic comedies and honestly just life in general, it's that worst case scenarios usually find a way to disrupt our lives, even on a day as magical as our wedding. The nerve, right?
As horrifying as it is to even think about, there are plenty of people who were willing to share their own "wedding fail" moments. All they needed was the nice guy charm of Jimmy Fallon to get them to share them with the rest of the internet.
Like this Dad Joke with possibly the worst timing ever.
After my dad walked me down the aisle, but before he gave me away, he asked my fiancée “Did you bring the money?” #WeddingFail

My phone began to play “Umbrella” by Rihanna and Jay Z at full volume right before the kiss. I let it play for 30-45 seconds not realizing it was me (I don’t have the song on my phone). I was the best man. #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/oxY7Ms1ijN
— Corbin Marshall (@CorbinM) May 16, 2018Then again, it's a pretty appropriate song considering the occasion.
What about this awful mother-in-law who wanted the big day to be about her.
As my husband and I were having our portraits taken right before the ceremony, my motherinlaw showed up in her custom made dress that none of us had seen yet. It was a WHITE gown. She said, “If Pippa can wear white, so can I.” #WeddingFail
— Not So Fast, Missy (@MissySkies) May 15, 2018I'm a moronic, North Jersey dude who could care less about formal event etiquette and even I know that's a scumbag move.
At least this desperate maid of honor admitted this low point while at her friend's wedding.
I thought it was assumed that I, the MOH, should catch the bouquet. I ended up fighting a 10 year old for it, and after yelling “Please I’m 24,” I decided to let her have it because she’ll probably get married before me anyway. Then her mom made her give it back. #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/0XlCDb1sc3
— Amber Wiser (@awise1214) May 16, 2018So fighting with a 10-year-old for a bouquet because you want your special day to come next may not be this woman's proudest moment, but at least she's got a sense of humor about it. Also: check out the look of determination/horror on this kid's face.
If you're planning on hitting the sauce heavy during a wedding, you might want to remember to sign the guest book before the night's festivities begin.
@jimmyfallon I waited until the end of my best friend’s reception to write in the guestbook. #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/irYXsVzqW5
— Kristine (@kost_219) May 15, 2018At least it wasn't as cringeworthy as this father/daughter dance song selection.
Guests were questioning my relationship with my father when Let's Get it On by Marvin Gaye was played by accident for the Father/Daughter dance. #WeddingFail
— Leanne Smith (@smith_127) May 15, 2018There was this father-in-law who couldn't be bothered to remember the name of whoever his daughter was marrying.
At our wedding, my wife’s dad performed the ceremony. He pronounced us Chad and Jina Olbinski. My name is Mike. #WeddingFail #LateShowHashtags
— Mike Olbinski (@MikeOlbinski) May 15, 2018Let's hope her ex's name wasn't Chad.
A little too much birdseed for this bride.
Someone wasn't watching how much birdseed the bridal party took. #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/Qy6AEYHJhJ
— Sarah Hays Sanders (@shays151) May 15, 2018How is this one a fail?
As a prank I tied granny panties around my thigh instead of a garter... My husband didn't find it as funny as I did. 😂😂😂 #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/n9X2ez4XBy
— Kaitlin (@KaitlinLSwanson) May 15, 2018This bride who face-planted.
My brother had the brilliant idea to toss my sister in the air during the family photos thinking it would make a funny pic, but didn't tell me he was actually going to do it and then dropped her. #WeddingFail He was right about it being a funny picture though. pic.twitter.com/bdY955retd
— Alissa Haight (@haighteraide) May 15, 2018This kid who was just trying to get a party going.
My son tried to start the electric slide during my cousin’s vows and cried when nobody joined in. #weddingfail pic.twitter.com/a4cV5chvxA
— Gabriela Denicke (@GabrielaDenicke) May 15, 2018This guy who wasn't letting anything ruin his football game.
I was ready to walk down the aisle and we couldn't find my dad. My mom had to call him in the middle of the ceremony... he was in his room watching football thinking he still had 30 minutes. I laughed so hard. #WeddingFail
— Amanda (@_Saffy_Taffy) May 15, 2018This unwilling flower girl helped create what's probably one of the more memorable pictures in this bride's photo album.
My 3 yr old daughter was not happy about being a flower girl #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/gy1iSsvuiD
