{Little Tiny Wedding Crashers}

{Disaster} I found myself laughing out loud when I saw this photo.  Less because there is a bug on his back and more because it was set amongst a professional photographers photos.  My first thought was that someone should tell him there’s a grasshopper on his back and help him get it off, but no, the photographer took the time to set up his shot first.  Hopefully this he was nice enough to tell him.

{Disaster Ranking} Downright uncomfortable

{Lesson Learned} An outdoor wedding is bound to have these little guests, and depending on the area you’ll find bigger ones like this.  Chances are your local guests won’t be too surprised and will probably be perfectly used to them.  If you have a guest from the northwest like me, who travels to North Carolina for your wedding to discover that cockroaches actually hiss, you may have a few squeamish people.  If you’re near a body of stagnant water, like a pond or lake and your wedding is taking place at dusk you will most definitely want tiki torches or other repellent to keep the mosquitoes away, otherwise guests will probably be ducking out of there a bit early (or hiding in the bathrooms).  Some bugs keep away from fire, but others seem to be attracted to it.  If anyone knows any tips to keep bugs away from weddings other than the Pide Piper for insects, or Bug Whisperer, let us know below!

{Feeling A Little Light Headed?}

{Disaster} I only gave this mild disaster ranking simply because it is a somewhat common disaster and no one was seriously injured.  I’ve been to a couple of weddings myself where this has happened.  Perhaps not quite this dramatically though.  This is definitely a moment where there is a silent gasp from everyone, but is still easily recovered from and the wedding can continue.  Luckily there is a simple warning to help in this situation stated below. 

{Disaster Ranking} The Gasp Factor/The Show Must Go On

{Lesson Learned}  It’s not too often people are expected to stand that still for such a long period of time.  It may feel short while you’re sitting in the pews but even a 15 minute ceremony can be a long time not to wiggle, especially for a younger boy. Make sure you warn all of your attendants before the ceremony to keep their knees bent while standing.  Locking your knees may feel more comfortable but it cuts off circulation which results in….the above mishap.  (Also try to keep all attendants sober for the ceremony, as sometimes falling over has nothing to do with the knees.)

Love Soaked Part 2 {As If It Could’ve Gotten Worse}

{Note} If you haven’t seen Part 1 to this video, definitely check it out from my previous post: Love Soaked Part 1
{Disaster}  My heart already broke once for this bride watching video one.  Unfortunately it broke again even more after watching this part.  You can read more about it and see the full video on Chloe & Keith's Wedding Website.  The groom has a few comments on his own, but I still can’t seem to find anything from the bride (not that I blame her).

{Lesson Learned} I’m not sure there is a lesson here.  I suppose that if you’re an aunt at a wedding you should make sure you don’t lose your temper otherwise it could result in a lawsuit of sorts.  As for the bride, Chloe you have my deepest sympathy and I sincerely hope you can laugh at it now, or someday.

{Pole Dancing at Weddings is Never a Good Idea}

{Disaster} I would recommend sound for this one, just to get the full effect of how disastrous the mood gets.  The only other thing I would like to say about this disaster is: notice how the bride already seemed mad at the girl in the red dress.  Little did she know…

{Disaster Ranking} Epic Catastrophe/Once Friends, Now Enemies

{Lesson Learned} Ask about the sturdiness of a tent before spending a thousand dollars to rent one, and make sure that one tipsy woman isn’t capable of knocking the whole thing over!  And, girl in the red dress: don’t get drunk and pole dance ever again.

{Love Soaked}

{Disaster} This one had to be the first post, because it is such an epic disaster.  I feel bad for this bride every time I see this, but I can’t help laughing at the same time.  There are no words for it, you just have to watch.

{Disaster Ranking} Wedding Ruined/Once Friends, Now Enemies

{Lesson Learned} Don’t have your wedding that close to the water, and don’t let such a klutz of a best man anywhere near the bride.  Also…if you’re the groom, dive in after your bride man!
