“Chaos Unleashed: The Unforgettable Moments That Made Weddings Unpredictably Wild!”
“On the wedding day, try not to stress about the small things that may go wrong. Your guests don’t know what you had planned, and hardly notice the finer details. The wedding day goes by so quickly. Be sure to take a moment with your partner aside from all your guests to soak it all in together.”
This was several decades ago. I was invited to my husband’s cousin’s wedding. In a meeting the night before the event, I (and other cousins) were given our “assignments”. We were to be servers at the reception. Yes, you read that correctly, SERVERS. I was tasked with bringing drinks, offering refills and other miscellaneous chores. And trust me, some of those guests were demanding and rude. And for our trouble, we got to eat in the hall kitchen.
I was told later that it was supposed to be an honor to do this. Please, don’t honor me again!
Needless to say, I was hesitant to attend other weddings on his side of the family.
My first wedding season, someone stole the wedding rings from the Best Man’s bag while they were at a bar next to the room getting ready. They left the empty box and everything, and the bride and groom spent the reception filling out a police report.
My husband and I were invited to a Scottish wedding reception. The kilts, the highland fling, the bagpipes playing haunting then dance-inducing music. Neither of us were fond of weddings yet everything about this one was fun and exhilarating until …
We only knew the bride and groom and the parents of the groom. A lovely couple came and spoke to us and the woman kept zoning in on me and being a little too interested. She then whispered in my ear if I would be interested in a foursome with her and partner.
