nothing to ruin the day at all - but we actually had a fair bit go wrong, some I didn't even find out aout until later. Nothing worth worrying about though, and almost all worth a bit of a giggle.
1) The organist was playing the wrong music walking down the aisle.
2) I had a beautiful veil I had picked out, and I totally forgot to put it over my head before walking down the aisle or in any of the photo's.
3) The groom, groomsmen and priest were all talking football and didn't notice the procession coming down the aisle until the flower girls reached the front.
4) Me knocking over flowers and other funiture when going up to sign the paperwork.
5) SIL disappearing with the flower girls and page boys before we could get photo's taken.
6) Same SIL standing in front of photographer when he was trying to take pictures of the cake, and of us cutting it - she was trying to take her own photos.
7) Wine and champagne not being served to the bridal party table (I didn't notice this as I wasn't drinking at all, due to still recovering from my bachelorette party two nights previously).
8) some issue with some of the food - but I cann't remember what or who had the problem.
9) People rearranging the seating plan - which was fine, except that we had colouring stuff, etc for the kids and it wasn't until later we were able to find some of it for them.
10) Bridal dance - I think DH may have been a bit tipsy, he kept on trying to get creative and kept stepping on my dress and even caused me to fall over and land on my butt at one point.
11) Apparently my three younger sisters requested the chicken dance and were very put out because the DJ refused to play it for them - Didn't know about this until the next day.
12) All the girls boquettes (sp?) fell to bits at various points throughout the day.
13) There was a misunderstanding with the bar staff and the alcohol tab (probably because my father and my FIL didn't know what the go was and they decided to 'fix' things).
I am sure there was probably more (actually I know the boys had quite a few hiccups involvong rings and buttonholes, etc, but they weren't my problem ), but it was a great day and all of my rellies and friends still tell me that it was the best most fun wedding they had been to. I think you just have to let go of the small stuff, because there is a point where it doesn't matter how much you planned somethings are just out of your control on the day. And honestly does it really matter anyway???
