HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING GOES WELL PROFESSIONAL

My sweet, sweet husband spilt an entire glass of red wine on my wedding dress during the reception. Not at all how we planned that entrance, but adorable and a sweet moment that multiple guests told me about after the ceremony.Ģ.

All worked out and he proceeded to the front of the aisle, where he promptly dropped the handle at my to-be-husbands feet and walked back to his seat. There was a concrete lip about 2 feet in front of where he started running, so about 4 of the guests sitting right there launched themselves out of their seat to try to slow him down to help him over the lip. Once he got about halfway down our aisle, he realized he knew where he was going and took off at a dead run.

He walked slowly the entire time, delicately pulling the wagon. What I didn’t mention is what happened once he actually got to the aisle. I mentioned above that it took him forever to get down the aisle. Our ring bearer was pulling a wagon with our flower girl in it. I don’t know what yours will be on your big day, but I’ll tell you about a few of mine.ġ. I just hope it’s the right type of wrong. I just know from experience that a “perfect day” is somehow made even more perfect by having something go wrong. I don’t want something to go wrong that negatively impacts your big day or makes things more difficult for you. When I say I hope something goes wrong on your wedding day, this is what I mean. Of course you’ll remember the sweet moments and all of the emotions that come in to play on your day, but these moments are the fun, the *slightly* crazy, and the totally wouldn’t-be-your-wedding-without-it moments. You can’t plan for them and you definitely don’t expect them, but when it’s all said and done they are inherently true to who you are as a couple. These are the moments that you’ll remember the most from your wedding day, that you’ll tell stories about and laugh about for years to come. So, what do I actually want to go wrong on your wedding day? I probably need to dedicate an entire blog post at some point about how each vendor plays different roles on your day and how incredibly important it is to have a team that can adjust to unforeseen circumstances, but just know that you literally never know what’s going to happen on your big day so you want reliable people in your corner.

HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING GOES WELL PROFESSIONAL

There is really nothing you can do about these type of things going wrong, aside from hiring professional vendors that can make it work, regardless of what happens. Things that also fall into this category: your second shooter rolling their ankle walking away from your ceremony, people having to miss your wedding because of sickness/personal reasons, and changing your planned grand exit due to wind. I would never ever wish something with the weather to go wrong on your wedding day, just to be clear. In our case, rain, tornado warnings, hail, sunshine, random 1 day cold front, and 25+ mph winds. It’s highly possible to have something unexpected happen with Texas weather. I don’t care if you’re having a New Braunfels Wedding, Houston Wedding, Dallas Wedding, San Antonio Wedding, Austin Wedding, Fredericksburg Wedding, or getting married in The Middle of Nowhere, Texas. Which leads me to the next type of thing that can go wrong… I truly believe it goes to show that you can plan for so many things, but sometimes things just happen. These are not what I’m wishing to go wrong for you, by any means, but I did want to point them out. I can’t tell you the number of people who came up to me afterwards and told me they knew it wasn’t actually funny, but they did think it was comical how much went wrong, to me of all people. I dotted every i and *thought* I crossed every t (read our lessons learned blog post here if you want to see want I missed). Trust me when I say that I had everything worked out. That said, I think a lot has to go right for them not to happen, and a HUGE round of applause to you if nothing goes wrong here, but know that it’s okay if it does. Even with the sheer number of things that went wrong on ours, I still believe that these aren’t necessarily things that have to happen. I think these are the type of things people warn you about when they say something will probably go wrong on your wedding day. The ring bearer starts pulling the wagon from the wrong spot so it takes a solid 5+ minutes for him to get down the aisle.Īnd yes, these are all things that happened at my wedding, and there’s plenty more I didn’t list. You have to move a table or arrangement on-the-fly. Your groom never gets mic’d so people don’t get to hear your vows. The flower girl’s headpiece somehow doesn’t make it onto her head. The balloon photo booth props don’t get blown up. Your flowers don’t get put in a vase after the ceremony. Type 1: The little things that don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things.

Hopefully everything goes well
