I've only been to a handful in my life. Now I'm hoping to be invited to an Italian wedding at some stage. Sounds like you could write some humorous wedding novels.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005215075724810989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-64822146477571970722014-06-14T20:35:30.894-04:002014-06-14T20:35:30.894-04:00Marianne, what stories!

I've been to many Italian weddings, being Italian, but none were as exciting as the ones you were involved with. Enjoyed the stories. Thanks for the laughs. I enjoyed the comments, too. I feel I had such a boring wedding after reading your stories and the comments.<br />Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-78465399699481958932014-06-14T20:29:58.043-04:002014-06-14T20:29:58.043-04:00My wedding was beautiful, but full of funny things...My wedding was beautiful, but full of funny things happening. The first was before the wedding even started. An older gentleman friend of my Dad's called on his way to the wedding. His car had broke down, so someone had to go get him. He was also very early (he got there for the pictures prior to the wedding). The Minister pronounced us Mr. & Mrs. my maiden name. Everyone laughed and we corrected him. My new husband had to leave shortly after he ate to go get our rollback wrecker so that he could pick up the gentleman's car. The friend also had to be taken home because of course at this point he had no car. And the final straw of the day was we had to leave our own reception early. Our cows had gotten out and we had to go retrieve cows and fix fence. Thankfully our neighbor had arrived and was helping fix fence. I still was running around the car in my wedding dress though. Oh and the last thing was my family owned a garage and towing business. By this point life was going on. Our wedding day was closing. My husband and my Dad ended up going on a service call to fix a truck :) LOL it was quite a day. It was beautiful though and even with all the things that went wrong it was the happiest day of my life. My husband and I just celebrated out 6th anniversary. We are still very much in love and yes our life can still be just as crazy as our wedding day was :) LOL Reviews By Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13990679599135387457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-8149197183710779742014-06-14T12:16:38.835-04:002014-06-14T12:16:38.835-04:00Great post!

The photographer never made it to my wedding and I have no pictures of it, only me in my wedding dress which was staged for the newspaper.

Our maternal grandmother wouldn't attend because the groom was Catholic, and my sister had joined the church. <br /><br />Why this was such a big deal was beyond us because she had many friends who were Catholic, and Gramps and her lived right across the street from the Catholic Church. Anyway, she fell for my brother-in-law hard when she got to know him.

For my first wedding, we fought at the rehearsal dinner and almost broke up. We had to do all the set up and someone knocked into the cake which was a leaning tower of goodness. His friends got terribly drunk at the reception and had photos of them with their hands in their pants. We were married for 20 years and had two wonderful children before I found out about his affairs. For my second wedding, we escaped to Vegas! That was a blast and now 8 years later, still going strong. :)Tweeted and shared!Melissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-72560124260891510242014-06-14T10:51:44.327-04:002014-06-14T10:51:44.327-04:00ROFL!

I told her she had three options: a) be honest and call it off; b) pick a fight, throw the ring at him and call it off that way; or c) leave him at the alter. She was concerned b/c her parents had spent a lot of money and it was too late to get their deposits back. <br /><br />She went through with it, but got drunk at the reception and began wailing she'd made a huge mistake. Her bridesmaids and I tried to calm her down, and thankfully the groom was on the other side of the room and didn't hear it. She calmed down and they left on their honeymoon.<br /><br />Three months later they were separated, and she told me she wished she'd taken my advice. She's now been happily married to #2 for over 15 years, so I guess she finally grew up:)Molly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-7696976087861542232014-06-14T09:43:00.523-04:002014-06-14T09:43:00.523-04:00Great post, Marianne.
