On Saturday, I went to a wedding and it was one of the nicest I’ve ever attended.
The ceremony started with the ring bearer running down the aisle to his mommy who was a bridesmaid. He was followed by two flower girls, each walking, hopping and skipping at her own pace. When the minister asked the bride and groom to repeat their vows, the bride’s voice cracked and she paused. Before continuing, she apologized and explained to everyone that her daughter was married a few weeks before and she was still emotional. Then, about halfway through the ceremony, someone accidentally hit a button and “The Wedding March” began to play all over again.
Throughout the ceremony, there were interruptions and bloopers and, in between the tears of joy, there was laughter from everyone, including the bride and groom. They did not get upset or seem bothered by any of it. To them, this day was about two people becoming one. Regardless of what happened during the ceremony, their focus was on each other and being pronounced husband and wife.
I am very impressed with this young couple and their promises to each other. On their wedding day, they demonstrated maturity and going with the flow. They did not have expectations of a perfect wedding, but I think if you ask them, they’d tell you their wedding was perfect.
Have you been to a wedding with bloopers or interruptions? What’s the funniest or worst experience you’ve had at a wedding?
At the end of the wedding, instead of standing at the back and shaking hands, the newlyweds stood by each pew and let the guests leave. When he got to the pew where my mom was (his grandma), he bursts out in tears. You see, my mom is his second mom since my sister was 16 years old when she had her son. When he saw my mom, I guess he just couldn't hold it in anymore and started crying. Needless to say, we all cried! :)
