Wedding disaster stories? We'll toast to yours Wedding disaster stories? We'll toast to yours
(3 months later)
Your wedding is supposed to be The Perfect Day, in which you and your spouse declare your love to one another in front of your assembled friends and family, all of whom are dressed to the nines, and then celebrate with heartfelt speeches, elegant dances and a little flower-tossing.Your wedding is supposed to be The Perfect Day, in which you and your spouse declare your love to one another in front of your assembled friends and family, all of whom are dressed to the nines, and then celebrate with heartfelt speeches, elegant dances and a little flower-tossing.
But some times, it doesn't work out like that. Instead, the table centerpieces break on their way to the reception and get put out anyway, a relative gets so drunk that someone calls an ambulance and the lights all go out in the bathrooms and never come back on, leaving your tipsy guests to try to "break the seal" in the pitch dark. And that is just at Kim Kardashian and Kanye's wedding.But some times, it doesn't work out like that.

But you don't have to be rich and famous to have your wedding go terribly wrong – or for other people to get a chuckle out of it when it does. Did someone toast the groom and ask the few women in attendance that he hadn't slept with to raise their hands? Did the bride have a wardrobe malfunction on the way to the altar? Did the groom's mother stand up when the officiant asked, "If anyone hear knows a reason why these two should not be wed"? The Guardian is looking for the best (or worst, depending on your perspective) wedding disasters you've witnessed – other than marrying the wrong person.
