Jimmy Fallon, the legendary host of The Tonight Show, keeps us laughing even when we’re feeling blue. This time, Jimmy asked his adoring fans to share the most spectacular and hilarious wedding fails, seeing as wedding season’s roaring with full force. And we’ve got to tell ya, having read through these, no tiny mishaps at weddings will ever scare us again!

Scroll down, upvote the best #WeddingFail tales, and if you’re feeling up to it, share your own funny stories in the comment section.

While we’d all love to have the ‘perfect’ wedding, expecting absolutely everything to go swimmingly during your happy day is simply unattainable. Anna and Sarah from the Wedding Society told Bored Panda that having a ‘perfect’ wedding is impossible and that we should instead embrace the fact that mistakes (big and small) will pop up during the big day in one form or another. And we’ll be much happier if we simply let go of our desire for perfection and realize that our wedding isn’t a movie.

According to wedding experts Anna and Sarah, we’ve got to change the way that we approach wedding celebrations. Perfection isn’t something that we should aim for—instead, we should focus on the marriage itself and celebrating the love between two people with those closest to our hearts.

“It is well and truly time to reframe how we see weddings. It is one six-hour period where potentially hundreds of factors, people, and services merge together into one point to deliver a single event. It's physically impossible that something won't go wrong, whether you're aware of it or not,” they said that we have to be realistic.

Of all wedding traditions, this sentence should be dropped first.

“The best way to approach your day is to expect that something will go wrong and to know that it's okay because it's just par for the course,” the duo from The Wedding Society gave Bored Panda some spot-on advice.

“It's not a movie,” they added that we shouldn’t expect something like we’ve seen dozens of times in rom-coms on the silver screen.

“This event, like the rest of life, is perfectly imperfect. Embrace that and you'll be on the right track for what's to come out of that event—your marriage,” Anna and Sarah suggested that embracing the fact that not everything will go as you’d like it to is a good approach to have not just regarding your wedding but also life itself.

I can't tell if she's laughing or crying - if it's laughter, they're gonna be telling this story at their 75th anniversary.

The whole dove thing at weddings is horrible already, but who releases them inside? But that DJ deserves a big tip.

She probable filed for divorce and moved to another part of the country because she saw all the signs of a future abusive marriage with a jerk and decided to get as far away from him as she could.

It says the marriage was annulled so divorce would not be necessary.

This can’t be the first behavior of this type he demonstrated. It’s appalling and she was right to end it there, but probably was letting a lot of prior shitty behavior slide up to that point. It shouldn’t have gotten to the wedding stage.

I swear, it used to be the custom that the bride and groom fed each other little bites of cake rather than slam cake all over each other's faces. Can we go back to that older custom, please?

It is the stupidest thing in the world to smash cake on each other. Hate it. Spend all that money on the cake, clothes, makeup, etc. Never will understand why people do it or think it is funny.

Literally every couple I know who did this ended up having abuse issues later, and most split up. Including my mom and her jerk of a third husband.

I've never really understood this....All the weddings I've ever been to, the couple simply make the first cut...then the servers cut it up and pass it out....

I hate this kind of thing!! It just serves to demonstrate the sophomoric humor on the part of the groom (it usually is the groom from times I've seen it). The bride ends up a mess and the groom high fives with his buds. Stupid!

Good for her. I told my ex that if he smashed cake in my face I'd file for divorce the next morning. I filed for divorce within the year, but cake played no part.

How did they get to the wedding ceremony in the first place? Some underlying story there, for sure.

Time to end the marriage. Or, laugh it off and get caked every anniversary.

There are so many movies/comedy shows where this action is done. There is a chance that there are millions of people out there that think that this is a tradition that is fun and playful and not something violent. While I do not agree that face smooshing with cake is a nice thing, there is a chance that some will do it innocently.

Obviously food is for making a mess with. Good attitude to start life together with.

The only one who was making a fool of herself was the Grandma. She should have silently slipped out the back.

CPR doesn't "revive" people who go into cardiac arrest, that's just in the movies. It's just to keep blood circulating until the person can get medical attention. And no one would be oblivious to someone getting "5+ min of CPR" mid-wedding ceremony. This didn't happen.
