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.

Lol that kid is going to hear about that for the rest of his life.
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.
“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.
American cheese and bologna cubes with mustard, store brand tater chips, and Pabst Blue Ribbon?
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.

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?
I want that on my wedding. Just feeding each other bitty bites of cake.

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.
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.
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.
My wife pointed out that all the places where I have worked have either gone bust or are in deep trouble after I left. I'm retired now and less businesses have gone bust. She calls my retirement my contribution to the economy.
The money was already spent, may as well get the most out of it, regardless of who paid.
Wow, didn't even ask if you're ok! You and your malicious fainting, how selfish of you, huh?
WHOA. The other people at the Hair Saloon must have had to put down their sarsaparillas and whiskeys to watch all the action.
A friend of mine got married during a hurricane in Hull, MA at a waterfront hotel. We all tried to take a shot of us outdoors in the wind, when one bride's veil flew off into the sky. Next morning, I was walking down to the local Dunkin's for coffee, when I found said veil caught in shrubs outside of a bank down the street. It was a treat to show up at the brides' hotel room, veil in hand.
That sounds kind of dickish. Abusive even. When you gotta pee, you gotta pee. Ignoring a child’s bathroom needs is shitty. Using it against her for her entire life is creepy. Makes me wonder what kinds of emotional issues she has but doesn’t recognize as issues because her parents have normalized this s**t.
At my mom and dads wedding in England 1944 they walked to the altar the family were the only ones in attendance. Air raid sirens went off before they could clear out the back of the church was bombed. No one hurt. Hitler was cursed by the priest. Marriage lasted 'till dad died!
I proper got the giggles at a dear friend's wedding because the organ player in the church kept playing duff notes, and I don't mean fluffing the wrong key something, I mean proper howlers that may well have opened a portal to the gates of hell. It was gloriously sinister.
My 3 year old cousin was my flower girl. As my new hubby and I were announced and entered the reception, she trailed behind me, whipping my train around like horse reigns, screeching, "go horsey goooo!" On my wedding video, the same flower girl is seen walking the length of the buffet table, picking up and biting 1 of everything then placing each right back where she got it.
The top part of my dress came undone as I was doing the chicken dance at my own wedding. Fortunately I grabbed it quickly enough so everyone didn't get an eyeful lol. Ran into the kitchen area so my maid of honour could do it up again for me.
I used to be a manager of a venue that held wedding ceremonies and receptions. One day, we were having a wedding, and during the ceremony the brides brother went outside and as I was by the door, I saw him get into a car I recognised. It was a drug dealer's car! He tried to come back in but I refused him entry, as my job would be on the line if he were caught. In between the ceremony and the reception, I had the bride arguing with me to let her brother back in, saying "it's only cocaine!". Said no as I explained to her what could happen. Stuck to my guns and she flounced off. Was a nightmare wedding but ended up alright.
Two stories: My brother's second wedding was to be in a hot air balloon. Day of the wedding, the landing field was on fire so we had to opt for a pool house cabana at an apartment complex. During the ceremony, I was both the Maid of Honor and Best Man. When the priest asked for the rings, turns out my SIL best friend had them. Good thing we weren't in the balloon basket. Second one was my mother telling us about everyone throwing rice at my mom and dad as they climbed into his corvette convertible at the church. My father forgot to put the top up the next day when it started raining. A few days later, and little green plants started sprouting in the carpet.
I was a bridesmaid at a wedding where the groom was very nervous in front of a large crowd. He was repeating his vows in almost a whisper, so the priest promted him to speak up. He repeated his next line, still in a whisper exactly as the priest had said, " louder to be my wife" The priest, the bride and the bridesmaids were the only ones who heard, but it was really hard not to burst out laughing. The groom had no idea what he had said until we told him later.
At my wedding my pregnant cousin caught the bouquet and an ex-boyfriend caught the garter. I also went to a wedding where the bride and groom ended up cutting each others hands when they were cutting the cake!
My wedding was at my new in-law's house. We thought the dogs were all safely locked into one of the bedrooms temporarily. Nope. The pastor says, here is the newlyweds and everyone starts to clap. Out comes our Heeler, Cindy, barking furiously because she doesn't approve of aggression. Everyone laughed and we had cake. Still sharing funny stories 36 years later.
At my mom wedding, they 'kidnapped her' (common doings of husbands friends who will take her somewhere untill the husband came and pay her out).... well.. my dad disagreed with that and don't wanted to go find her... My grandpa must forced him to get up and go fetch my mom... My dad arrived at the bar, my mom and his friends were staying... put out a bank-note of 5000,- czech crowns, and left..... without my mom.
Every time I see a "Jimmy Fallon Asks People" post just reminds me that this guy doesn't have an original creative thought in his entire body.
