Planning a wedding can be really demanding. It takes couples around 200 to 300 hours of work, which equals about 20 to 38 full-time workdays. Even with all that effort, big events like weddings often don’t go exactly as expected.
We believe that despite the challenges, true love triumphs, and the mishaps become funny stories over time. Here are some examples from internet users.

“Had a friend that didn’t know she was the bride until she was halfway down the aisle. Her parents had arranged a marriage for her and had told her that it was her cousin’s wedding. When they arrived, her father takes her arm, and they start walking up the aisle. It isn’t until they’re halfway up that she stops and realizes everyone is looking at her and smiling.
She turned to one of her aunts in the pew next to her and asked them who was getting married.
The whole church went silent, and then the aunt looked at my friend’s father and said, ‘You can’t be serious! You planned a wedding for your daughter and just expected her to go along with it?!’
She pulled my friend into the pew, and they both ran out of the church.

“They bought an apple orchard after leaving the city to live a simpler life… and really doubled down on the apple theme. Apples everywhere: on the tables, in baskets all around the venue, on the podium where they got married, in every dish for the reception, etc. The cake was shaped like an apple. It was really bizarre.

“So this guy Matt and the bride had dated for a while a few years ago, but had remained good friends after, and he was invited to the wedding. The ceremony starts, but there’s no sign of Matt. We get to the ‘does anyone have any objections’ part, and the church goes quiet, then the heavy wooden door to the church door bangs open and there is Matt.
Everyone thinks, ‘Oh no!’ but Matt limped awkwardly to a pew in the back and sat down quietly. Turned out, he’d overslept and twisted his ankle running to the church, that was all — so no objection, no drama, but we all thought for a second it was going to kick off. My friend and the bride even saw the funny side, about 3 months later.
