People Share Their Wedding Fail Moments So You Can Feel Better About Your Special Day

Weddings are joyous celebrations that bring people together to celebrate the love and happiness of a couple, but they're also stressful, expensive days that often don't turn out as you expected.

There's about a zero percent chance that every single thing on your wedding day is going to go exactly as you planned, and there's nothing you can do about it. You just have to accept it. Your day will still be wonderful, and you can be thankful that whatever happened to these people on their wedding days didn't happen to you!

Is It Too Late To Leave?

Depending on how close you were sitting to the front, you might've been able to slip out the back doors during the ceremony. If not, at least you got to celebrate one happy couple that day—even if they weren't the couple you thought.

If you choose to forgo a faith-based ceremony, chances are there's going to be at least one family member who has something to say about that, but typically your photographer isn't the one to make their feelings known.

We thought this story was going to end with someone letting a bear loose during a wedding ceremony, so at least it was better than what we expected. Plus he's still young enough for this to have been cute instead of concerning.

People seem to forget when it comes to weddings that you can't add extra guests with ease, especially not five of them. A couple might be able to squeeze one or two extra guests into a venue, but if you get an invitation for two people, it's not a "bring a friend" situation.

Unless you're 1000% sure that a woman is pregnant, please don't congratulate her on her baby—especially if you're doing that at her wedding while she's wearing a gown that she spent months stressing about looking good in.

It's one of the happiest days of your life. Everyone is there to celebrate you and your new spouse—it's easy to get caught up and over-celebrate a little bit! No one can get mad at you, but they can take pictures of you to laugh at for years to come.

As long as the decorations were preacher-friendly, this really isn't the worst thing. Sure, you wasted all your decorations on the wrong car, but the preacher just performed the whole ceremony—he deserves to celebrate too.

Shouldn't someone else have noticed that a vital part of the wedding ceremony had been skipped over? The bride and groom were wrapped up in their day, so they're excused, but what about any other person who had ever been to a wedding?

The whole point of a bouquet toss is that it's for the single or non-married women, but maybe this woman was trying to send a message to her current husband that she's looking for a replacement.

While she may not have orchestrated it herself, you can tell she wasn't exactly upset by the coincidence. Even if her father-in-law was annoyed, if the groom doesn't care then she's in the clear.

The silver lining to this one is that at least this man had a very clear, specific reason for dressing this way that you could explain and prove to other people. It would've been much worse if some wedding guest had just chosen to dress in a Confederate Army uniform.

Typically, the bride and groom avoid any sort of contact sport on the day of the wedding or in the couple of days prior, but apparently, they also needed to specify that no one in the wedding party would be allowed to play hockey.

Couples put a lot of pressure on their wedding day to be the best day of their lives, so it seems like the world is ending when something like the cake falling apart happens. As long as you can laugh about it, though, you're going to be just fine.
