- During the dance, I twirled him around
in his wheelchair,
oh it was so sad.
(laughs)
(upbeat calm music)
- Hey, my name is Candace,
and I was married August 2017.
Right now, I'm about to tell you
about my bridal horror story.
My wedding DJ was the most awful DJ,
I have ever experienced in my whole life.
So my husband and I are getting ready,
to do our grand entrance,
which is supposed to lead into our first dance,
the grand entrance was great, everyone's smiling,
we're happy, my husband's happy, I'm happy,
it starts off great, everything's wonderful,
the choreography is on point,
until the music continued after it was supposed to stop.
I had music that was edited,
two songs that were pretty much the same,
but different versions,
one was slower and then it was supposed to go,
into the faster, upbeat version of it.
That's didn't happen!
And so my husband and I looked at each other like,
"What the french toast?"
And so we decided to just kinda hug each other
and slow dance.
The first song ends, the second song starts
and then we're still kinda of like,
"Okay, what are we doing here?"
Let's just feel it out till,
the song goes to the chorus
which is where it was supposed to pick up.
So finally the second song chorus hit
and then we were able to continue
the second part of the dance,
which happens on the pole.
My husband and I are both pole dancers,
that's how I met him,
so then my husband goes and does his first dance
on the pole,
and it was great and then I did my dance,
and then the song continued, a lot longer
than we expected.
During our first dance, we didn't change,
we were still in the clothes,
my wedding dress, his tux that we had married in,
our whole ceremony outfits, we had them on.
So I'm sweating, I've got thick layers,
a long train, that I'm trying to deal with,
it was pretty bad!
So the song ends, he finally does this dip with me
and we're looking at each other like,
"Wow, that was bull!"
I shot the guy who was our DJ the dirtiest look.
And then I smiled and continued on to my table
with my husband.
After the first dance was over,
we decided to just brush it off
and that's when I knew it was all going wrong.
This guy came to the wedding with speakers
that didn't even work,
not only that,
he decided that it was going to be better for him
to play music from YouTube,
because his system wasn't connecting right.
I-I couldn't believe it,
so you have commercials playing,
as he tries to quickly skip through,
at my wedding.
I realized this music situation is atrocious,
and just awful,
so I decided, you know what,
how about we just say, "Thank you very much,"
"you go ahead and go home."
Luckily I had brought a Bluetooth speaker
that we used during our ceremony,
and I plugged that up and played Pandora,
and that was way better than the music he was playing.
I wish that it never happened that way,
but I guess you know,
as my husband put it,
"There has to be something bad,"
"that happens at the wedding, so it's memorable."
- Hi, I'm Natalia,
I got married on August last year
and I'm gonna tell you my wedding horror story.
So it's my wedding day after months of planning,
I'm in beautiful Brazil with my family and friends,
and I'm getting ready for the best day of my life!
Everything's beautiful, everything's going perfect,
my whole family is united,
everything is as I planned.
So since we both speak different languages
and our families speak different languages,
we decide that we're going to do a bilingual ceremony.
Problem is, my husband is not bilingual.
I go into the ceremony and the ceremonialist
starts and she translates things back and fourth,
and she throws in a couple of jokes,
about my husband and his American way of being.
So she goes and decides to throw in this,
(speaking foreign language)
And everybody that's speaks Portuguese in the ceremony,
starts laughing so hard
and all the Americans are looking at us like,
"Um, okay."
Waiting for the translation of course,
that never comes,
my husband still asks me,
"What did she say, in ceremony?"
And I didn't tell him and I'm not going to.
So she starts doing all the ceremony,
we were both like crying,
because we just did our vows
and the ceremonialist asks if,
I would take him as my husband
and I say, "Yes" in English,
and he thinks he's going to be super sweet
and say it in my language for me,
and he says, "Muito Sim."
which literally translates to,
"Very yes."
It was almost ideal, it was cute, I enjoyed it.
It actually became the hashtag of our wedding,
Him trying to speak my language to me,
and messing it up, actually made it better.
- Hi, I'm Sigi
and I got married this past May, Memorial Day weekend,
and this is my horror story.
The wedding day is planned,
everything is perfect,
everything is in it's spot.
We got the flowers, we got the dress,
we got the cake, we got it all.
I'm so excited, it's gonna be outdoors,
on top of this stunning mountain
and about a week before our wedding,
my husband sat me down, driving home from the gym,
he waited till I parked,
smart man!
And said, "Babe it's scheduled to rain"
"on our wedding day."
If you know anything about Los Angeles and weather,
you know that it doesn't man ever.
I kind of just ignored it and then leading up,
I started checking the weather forecast,
and it was literally like 80 sunny,
80 sunny, 80 sunny, 50's rain on our wedding day.
And I was like, "It's not gonna rain, it's LA,"
"we're good."
So anyway, we get to the weekend
and it's now like definitely gonna pour,
tomorrow.
So, cool.
We had a contingency plan, we got a tent
because we had to,
we moved the whole thing under a tent,
and the wedding planner called me the night before,
and I was like, "The tent is not going to work"
"anymore because it's supposed to really pour."
(dramatic music)
And I was like,
"Great, great, great, cool, cool, cool."
Okay, no tent, I guess we'll just wing it
and move it indoors.
So the wedding day, I wake up,
I'm actually not thinking about it at all,
I'm totally in the zone,
little did I know,
my husband actually called the wedding planner
and said, "Get rid of the tent,"
"I think it's not going to rain."
So we got rid of the tent without my knowing it,
so we're driving to the venue,
I haven't seen him yet,
we're literally climbing the mountain in the car,
I'm being chauffeured by my parents
and a bunch of friends in the van,
we get there and now it's like full pouring,
(dramatic music)
I'm literally holding my dress,
I have like three friends holding an umbrella,
someone's like holding my foot,
like I don't know what's going on.
If I had, like ten bucks for every single person,
that told me rain is lucky on your wedding day,
I would of gladly collected.
We get there, now the wedding planner comes up to me,
it's like twenty minutes till the ceremony,
and she's like, "We set it up outside,"
"just so you know, you're husband called this morning,"
she didn't call him my husband,
'cause he wasn't my husband yet.
"But he called this morning"
"and he moved it to the original spot,"
"so your dreams are coming true,"
"but now it's actually raining,"
"and it's too late to do anything about it,"
"so we're moving it indoors."
(dramatic music)
So I was like, sheer panic on my face
and I know everybody is seeing it
because everybody starts rushing over,
telling me about the good luck,
I'm like, "I've already heard this,"
"I know that it's lucky guys, but now it's raining,"
"so I don't feel so lucky."
And then we started taking pictures in doors,
it's like totally in now,
they're moving chairs inside,
this is so like not what I pictured.
This is like nature, trees,
you have the beautiful backdrop behind us,
and of course we're like standing in front
of a white wall,
and I turn to him and I just decided,
you know what,
Let's just go outside, let's embrace the weather
just me and you.
I think what I maybe said was "lets get the F outta here."
grab the beautiful white umbrellas
that we ordered on Amazon yesterday
and lets just do this because it's just about the moment
and I totally relinquish control.
I was like I can't do anything about the weather,
let's just do this together and we went outside
and lo and behold as soon as I released control
of the skies, we watched the clouds part
and this ray of sun just beams through
and were like (heavenly sound).
Were getting married outdoors.
Dad go tell the wedding planner.
And it's totally not raining
and we moved everything back outside
and we got married under this dramatic, beautiful sky
that was just,
you would never see in Los Angeles end of May.
And you know what?
Rain really is lucky on your wedding day,
just not during the actual event, yeah.
- My name's Ash I got married June 7th in Las Vegas
and I am here to tell you about my wedding horror stories,
plural.
We decided to get married in Vegas.
Having an Elvis impersonator do the wedding of course.
We had been planning it for all of three weeks.
I really wanted healthcare, and I also loved him,
so win-win. (laughs)
We got 10, 12 of our friends to come out, super fun
everything was great.
And then my husbands foot started swelling,
like Big!
Went to urgent care the day before we were leaving for Vegas
his foot was so swollen, that he couldn't wear shoes
and they thought he had gout,
which if you don't know what gout is
it's like, it's called "the disease of kings."
Most people get it in like the 1800s,
so it's really weird he got it.
So we're in Vegas and his foot just keeps swelling
and swelling and getting worse and worse.
So I had to rent a wheelchair.
We looked like horrible people
but we we're, the floor in the casinos were really glossy
so, we were just like running with him as fast as we can
and then like letting him go, it was really funny. (laughs)
But people thought we were like abusive, like abusing him.
Yeah so we finally get to The Little Neon Chapel,
Elvis walked me down the isle, it was very sweet.
The Elvis impersonator is super hungover,
like he was amazing and he asked us
what songs we wanted him to sing
and so we choose "Can't Help Falling In Love"
thinking who can mess up the classics.
And he got the lyrics wrong, it almost made it better though
honestly, yeah no I wouldn't change a thing about it.
He doesn't have gout anymore
and I'm married to my best friend.
(upbeat calm music)
