1. Oops, just a slip of the tongue

Imagine how you’d feel if you were the bride and this happened to your wedding? The groom must have some explaining to do after. Probably, you can just think of it as an honest mistake and not make a big deal out of it.

#WeddingFail I was performing a wedding ceremony and the groom said the bride’s sister’s name during the vows. Things went downhill from there.

2. Platters of food

The MIL surely did something hilarious right there. She should have asked instead what food would be prepared in the reception rather than dealing with it on her own.

#weddingfail My MIL brought platters of food to my catered wedding reception so their side of the family would “have something to eat that they liked.” @jimmyfallon

3. Which way the wind blows

An outdoor wedding can surely have weather woes at all times. The photographer may need multiple retakes to get a very decent photo of the bride with the veil in its proper place.

4. Birthday surprise

The new daughter-in-law was not at all happy with this. Being surprised by an enormous cake not for your ceremony but for a birthday is a blow to one’s pride.

On my wedding, we had dinner and suddenly a table came and a huge cake was placed on a table. I thought my inlaws are following the western tradition of wedding cake but no. My mother in law decided to celebrate her niece's birthday on my wedding. #weddingfail @jimmyfallon

5. On fire

For your wedding, you want it to be perfect and run smoothly as much as possible. But, unexpected things can happen, and literally catching fire is not something you’d want, especially for the wedding gown. Oops! Better avoid fire during a wedding ceremony as much as possible.

Wedding DJ here: Couple tried lighting Chinese lanterns. 1st lantern caught itself on fire. 2nd caught the Bride’s dress on fire (big, black charred ring). 3rd actually rose into the air and caught a tree on fire. Huge blaze erupted and now we have a no fire policy. #WeddingFail

6. Expect the unexpected

When inviting people to be part of the wedding, you better tell them the suitable dress for the occasion because if not, you’d be seeing something like this. The maid of honor has the greatest sense of humor for wearing a T-rex costume to a wedding ceremony.

She did say anything!!!! #Tyrannosaurusrex #weddingfail https://t.co/i4vmSytc9M

7. The after-party

Jeff Grass was having so much fun at the after-party and enjoyed dancing that he ripped his pants. He certainly made a great show with his dancing and splitting, of pants!

I danced so hard I ripped my pants… #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/y2EkQFWhww

— Jeff Grass (@lifealertme) June 19, 2019

8. Having a happy trip

The couple never expected to be on this kind of trip when they had their wedding photoshoot. While they were trying to catch Grandma while she was falling, the three of them landed on the floor.

My husband's grandmother tripped while getting pictures and we tried to catch her. Instead, we all ended up on the floor. #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/oTOiGpusMc

9. This girl is on fire

Part of the wedding ceremony is lighting the marital candle that symbolizes the union of the bride and groom, now being wife and husband. But, this beautiful moment can easily cause a bride to panic when the wedding dress catches fire.

my now sister-in-law backed up into a candle and her wedding dress train went up in flames. they put out the fire and she thankfully took it like a trooper, until the DJ started playing “Girl on Fire” 💀 #WeddingFail

— mei (@meilin_jane) June 19, 2019

10. Sorry not sorry

The bride just couldn’t get enough of her sister’s hilarious reaction when she fell to the floor. What a candid shot from the photographer and the bride was just so grateful for this shot. She had it framed to make it truly unforgettable!

I profusely thanked the photographer for getting this shot of my sister going down. I have it framed in my living room. #weddingfail pic.twitter.com/np1Dg17m0Z

11. Priest not informed

Imagine feeling out of place at your own wedding because the priest doesn’t get the bride and groom’s name right. Hearing different names during the entire ceremony can ruin the occasion but it’s good that the amused bride just laughed at it.

The priest who presided over our marriage never once got our names right, often referring to use both with masculine names (Ric & Eric.) By the end I was giggling so hard tears were streaming down my face. 27 yrs later & we're still not sure it officially "counted." #weddingfail

12. The bride’s best man

Sandy ignored the silly advice of the best man before her first wedding. It’s sad she didn’t have a happy ever after in her first marriage but we’re happy she is now with the best man for her, to share a lifetime with.

Before my wedding, the best man told me I shouldn’t marry his best friend. I never got along with the best man and, of course, got married. Now, I’m divorced from my first husband and I’m now happily married to the former best man. I guess I should have listened! #WeddingFail

— Sandy (@sandymickas) June 19, 2019

13. Tipsy from lemonade

The bride’s sister was just enjoying the refills of lemonade at the reception’s open bar but the bartender should be extra careful next time. A minor should not be drinking alcohol.

There was an open bar at my sisters wedding, and I kept getting refills on lemonade. I noticed I was feeling a bit weird towards the end of the night. Turns out the bartender accidently kept refilling my cup with spiked lemonade. I was 12, my parents were not happy. #WeddingFail

— Angel Dye (@ocean_blue1108) June 19, 2019

14. Falling in love

Wearing a long dress can unexpectedly take you to the bottom if you aren’t so careful with your step. Oh, the look of the poor bride while she was falling down! The groom was trying to save her, yet he ripped his pants. What a day to remember this is.

Our photographer made us come out early so guests didn’t have to wait. I stepped on the front of my dress 3 steps from bottom. My new husband Tim held onto me until we reached the bottom. He spiraled into the crowd and ripped his pants. My dress was in perfect shape.#WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/IPRq6MSgoi

— Julie Davies (@onkeylimetime) June 20, 2019

15. Sure of one thing

Though the groom was unable to see clearly for putting an otic solution on his eyes, he was sure that the blurry white thing walking towards him was pretty. This explains why reading labels is very important.

My hub accidentally put ear wax remover in his eyes, thinking it was contact lens re-wetring solution. Went thru ceremony blind as a bat – but said I was “a pretty, white blurry thing coming down the aisle” #weddingfail

— Julie Nilsson Smith (she/her) (@julnilsmith) June 20, 2019

16. Same dress for one occasion

It’s extremely hilarious to see three guests wear the same dress to a wedding. Probably, they have the same taste and a great one at that. It looks like they’re creating their own entourage.

@jimmyfallon #weddingfail
My coworker, my cousin and my aunt all wore the same dress to our wedding. pic.twitter.com/7PrHb57yVD

17. Snoozing at the ceremony

The wedding ceremony can be draining for the bride, groom, and the wedding guests. But, if you are officiating a wedding, you’re not supposed to doze off to dreamland. Alarmed after realizing that he fell to sleep, she called the bride by a different name.

The priest at my wedding fell asleep during mass and then proceed to say the wrong name for my wife during our vows #weddingfail pic.twitter.com/knlbFhdtho

— Ray Malaspina (@raymalaspina) June 19, 2019

18. Stunned by the bride

The groom’s facial expression was epic while seeing his bride walk down the aisle. Maybe, just maybe, he’s having butterflies in his stomach.

I thought I was making a calm, composed face as my wife came down the aisle. I found out this was the face I made. #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/XDqpa4ac5g

— Patrick Neville (@Patrick_Neville) June 18, 2019

19. The same best man

It’s probably not a good idea to have the same best man when you marry the second time around. But, if you insist, better let him skip the speech part.

I was best man at my friend's 2nd wedding. I started my speech with "welcome back everyone" he was not happy #weddingfail

— Mel (@yourbizsucks) June 18, 2019

20. What a wedding stunt

It’s a crazy idea to zip line going to the altar. It would be something memorable for the groom if he did it successfully. However, it turned out a laughable incident instead.

My friend got married on the beach and wanted to zip line to the altar. He didn’t test before and it turned out he was too heavy for the line. He was dragged through rocks and sand for the last 10 seconds. Ripped the pants off of his tux. #WeddingFail

— jimmy fallon (@jimmyfallon) June 18, 2019

21. Just dance

The little boy’s just too excited to go dancing and he was doing it during the exchange of vows part. He probably felt lonely and disappointed when nobody joined him in so he cried. Don’t worry, you can show off your electric slide at the after-party little fella!

My son tried to start the electric slide during my cousin’s vows and cried when nobody joined in. #weddingfail pic.twitter.com/a4cV5chvxA

— Gabriela Denicke (@GabrielaDenicke) May 15, 2018

22. Well-played by the groomsmen

The groom didn’t have the slightest clue that his groomsmen wrote something at the bottom of his shoes. When the couple was kneeling at the altar, the guests just couldn’t contain their emotions that they laughed while the pastor was praying. “Help Me” were the words written under his shoes.

#WeddingFail At my friend's wedding, they kneeled at the altar and on the bottom of the groom's shoes, the groomsmen had written "Help Me." While the pastor prayed, everyone else was laughing their butts off.

23. Waiting for daddy

The father of the bride was having fun watching football in his room that he lost track of time. Thinking he still has a few minutes before the wedding ceremony begins, he stayed for a while. But, the bride was ready to saunter down the aisle, and they had to wait for his arrival after the mother of the bride called him on the phone.

I was ready to walk down the aisle and we couldn't find my dad. My mom had to call him in the middle of the ceremony… he was in his room watching football thinking he still had 30 minutes. I laughed so hard. #WeddingFail

— Saf (@_Saffy_Taffy) May 15, 2018

24. A stranger’s advice

Amanda and her husband were on the part of exchanging their vows when a random guy on a jet ski passed by the area and shouted at the groom, “Don’t do it!” What a relief that he didn’t follow that voice.

I got married at my moms lake house on her dock, some guy on a jet ski went past yelling "don't do it!" to my husband. #WeddingFail

— Amanda Turner (@Batmanda24) April 23, 2014

25. The importance of proofreading

In a very important occasion such as a wedding, the finest details matter. Unfortunately, this RSVP included in the wedding invitation doesn’t read right.

The ultimate #WeddingFail…except to Hannibal Lecter #WeddingPlanning #RSVP #whatsfordinner #Wedding pic.twitter.com/j0WOKfjXNk

26. Not the happiest bride

Lynn shared that during her wedding, most of the guests had severe food poisoning that three persons became very ill. Though it was a very important occasion, it’s one thing that she didn’t want to remember especially when people ask her about what happened.

Half of my wedding guests ended up with severe food poisoning. The food almost killed two grandmother's and my father-in-law. When people ask about my wedding my typical response is "have you ever puked and shit in the shower at the same time?" #weddingfails @jimmyfallon

— Lynn Maurer (@lynnaz) June 19, 2019

27. The bagel

The officiant tried to be resourceful when he realized he forgot the wafers for the wedding communion. Luckily, there was a bagel from Dunkin’ Donuts inside his bag.

The officiant forgot the communion so for the service he pulled out something from a bag and it was a bagel from Dunkin’ Donuts. #weddingfail

28. It’s Mike, not Chad

Mike Olbinski is the happiest to have married the love of his life. But, the officiant, who was the father’s bride, pronounced the newlyweds as Chad and Jina Olbinski. His heart went oops because his name is Mike.

At our wedding, my wife’s dad performed the ceremony. He pronounced us Chad and Jina Olbinski. My name is Mike. #WeddingFail #LateShowHashtags

— Mike Olbinski (@MikeOlbinski) May 15, 2018

29. Whose phone is it?

The priest was not happy about the ringing cell phone at a wedding ceremony. Because of it, he gave a lecture about phone etiquette in church services. Unluckily, he found out that it was his phone after all!

Phone went off in the middle of a ceremony. The middle-aged Priest was unamused, paused the ceremony and started lecturing on the etiquette of church service. Turns out it was his phone ringing. #WeddingFail

30. Confused about her part

The adorable flower girl was too happy to be walking down the aisle with her crush, the ring bearer. Not knowing what to do next after having finished her duties, she asked her mom in a voice that everyone could hear, if she would be marrying her crush in that ceremony.

#WeddingFail my daughter was a flower girl in love with the ring bearer. She interrupted the wedding yelling to me "Mom am I marrying Curtis (ring bearer) right now."

31. Hapless wedding exit

Bubbles, birdseed, and grains of rice are some of the things used in weddings to toss to the newlyweds as they make their exit from the ceremony. It’s not a great day for the bride who received more than a handful of birdseed from someone in the crowd.

Someone wasn't watching how much birdseed the bridal party took. #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/Qy6AEYHJhJ

32. Not the best day ever

Those who get married definitely want things to be perfect on that very important day of their lives. But it is not the case for Amberly’s wedding. A series of unfortunate events mark her wedding day as not the best.

We were married in New Orleans. Fiance tore a calf muscle and was put in a wheelchair. Freak snow storm cut off water supply to entire city. Groomsman got arrested on Bourbon street the night before. DJ accidentally played techno when I walked down aisle. #WeddingFail

— Amberly Shantelle (@amberly_sa) June 18, 2019

33. Recording off

For sure, everybody wants to have the memories captured especially at a wedding. So whether it is in photographs or video, you want to have something to keep. But, it is very unfortunate that this guy pretended to have filmed the wedding ceremony, from start to finish. Wait until the wife finds out!

I was asked to videotape my wife’s friend’s wedding. I sat up on stage and when the wedding started I pushed record and the camera broke. I stayed up there pretending to move the camera and tape everything although I knew it wasn’t working. #WeddingFail

34. Getting caught in the moment

When you attend a wedding, you easily get emotional and you feel like you want to be married too if you are in a relationship. But, it’s wrong to be just caught in the moment that’s why you propose to your lover, and it’s very wrong for a woman to actually take the step at it.

Friend of husbands brought new girlfriend to our wedding, a stripper (nothing wrong w/that) he just met. She got caught up in the moment & proposed to him on the dance floor, everyone went crazy, band sang to them; etc. On our day.
Yeah, they broke up weeks later #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/cHYQoJEOuW

— Jen Murray (@Jen_Murray70) June 19, 2019

35. The dress code

Could this be a dress they have from an organization they belong to? They certainly did not plan to wear it to the same wedding, and oh not to mention, they also wore the same shoes. Well, these grandmas could just smile at the cameras for wearing the same dress, and shoes.

All three of the grandmothers unexpectedly showed up to the wedding in 👏🏼the👏🏼exact👏🏼same👏🏼dress!! #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/rRe9KxkDDA

36. Something blue

Dianne didn’t get away with his mischievous brother who gave her a candy that made her tongue turn blue. All she wanted was to have fresh breath in preparation for the “you may now kiss the bride” part.

Turns out the mint my brother gave me before he walked me down the aisle was also my 'something blue '… Thanks, Patrick. #weddingfail (but hilarious). pic.twitter.com/XdscXA07cj

— Dianne8675309 🇺🇲 (@diannebee) June 19, 2019

37. Falling for you

Any groom would like to be romantic by wanting to carry their bride. But, if you don’t have the extra muscles, you’d surely topple over. Better practice before the ceremony to gauge if you can really do the lover’s carry.

Tried to be romantic and carry my wife out of the ceremony. Luckily, this was after she said “I do.” #weddingfail pic.twitter.com/8CBMLKsfcN

38. beach wedding gone wrong

It’s risky to have the wedding ceremony outdoors. If you think the weather’s nice and cooperative, a different situation might take place. It can be a seagull dropping dead fish on the MIL’s head.

#WeddingFail I went to a wedding on a beach in Florida. While the bride was walking down the "aisle" a flock of seagulls flew over the audience and one of them dropped a fish head on the mother of the bride

39. What’s done cannot be undone

The maid of honor didn’t see it coming. Well, the dance floor was quite huge for her to showcase her hidden talent. The witnesses couldn’t forget her and were nicknamed “the one with the boobs”.

@FallonTonight My maid of honor picked up her nephew to dance and on his way down his shoes pulled her dress down revealing her entire upper half to my husbands father and grandfathers. She is still known today by his family as the one with the boobs . #weddingfail

— Nikki Kurszewski (@nkurszewski) June 30, 2019

40. White is for the bride

When attending a wedding, it’s in the dress code to not wear white unless it’s the motif or you’re told to do so. On the other hand, Amy’s MIL didn’t just wear white during her wedding but she also wore a wedding dress.

My mother-in-law wore a wedding dress to my wedding. So, yeah, top that one, Twitter. #weddingfail @jimmyfallon pic.twitter.com/IjqvnXT6Ps

41. What a grand entrance

The groom was trying to make an impressive entrance but his plans didn’t happen as they should. He slipped and toppled over, painting a horrified look on the bride’s face. If there’s something to blame, it must be his pointy shoes.

I knew at this very moment that I had done something very wrong… and then proceeded to slip on the stairs during our grand entrance. My wife’s face says it all. #weddingfail pic.twitter.com/OVzTZakEOs

— Prince Johnson (@princej92) June 19, 2019

42. That sweet smooch

The groom’s brother caught the bride’s sister not impressed with the couple’s kiss. She’s like a young child on that ‘eeeeewww’ moment when seeing adults kissing.

43. Not a happy tummy

During a wedding, you’d want the guests to go home with a happy tummy by serving the best food as gratitude for their presence and for sharing that valuable time to attend the occasion. However, when all that’s served are just hotdogs, they better have stayed home.

My dad was in charge of food for my reception, we gave him a budget of $500. We show up to the reception and he has cooked up $200 worth of Bar-S hotdogs, and nothing else. He told us years later he used the rest of the money to buy a freezer to hold all the hotdogs #WeddingFail

44. My heart will go on

Some ex-lovers couldn’t move on after several months, especially when they felt it was the relationship that would have proceeded in marriage if only it didn’t end. The ex must have gathered so much courage to crash a wedding and share with the audience the love letters that the groom wrote to her before.

I was once at a wedding where a former girlfriend stood up and read love letters that the groom had sent her when they were dating, including ones claiming he would never love anyone like he did her. #weddingfail

— Lorraine Baldwin 🇨🇦 (@L__Baldwin) June 21, 2019

45. Dog too happy

It is not uncommon for dog lovers that they make their pet a part of the entourage. Considering the pet as family, they are welcomed to a very important occasion like a wedding. You can just see how happy this pup is for witnessing her master’s vows.
