The things that went wrong at our wedding

With so much going on, things are bound to go wrong! Nothing came anywhere close to ruining the day, but here is what went wrong at our wedding, followed by how we dealt with it.

1) People started eating cake early- I know our cupcakes were f*cking delicious, and the convenient single servings are very welcoming, but what adult doesn't know that you are supposed to wait for the bride and groom to do their cake exchange before you dive in?

We just shrugged it off and finished our meal. We did the traditional "feed each other cake" bit when we were good and ready.

2) Guests showed up that RSVPed "No"- We didn't know they were coming until we saw them as we were literally walking down the aisle!

Although an inconvenience, we were happy they were able to make it. At dinner they found chairs and squeezed in at a table with people they knew.

    Throwing a question out there; Would have requested a discount from the hair stylist? How would you have handled the situation?

    I'm still really unsatisfied with the service I received, but if I follow up, I wouldn't be surprised if they offer a discount on a FUTURE service. Since I don't want service from them again, that would be worthless to me.

    I would have sicked one of my bridesmaids or someone other than myself (one of the meaner ones) to talk it out with the stylist about the discount...I don't know how you could have had time for that conversation with how late it sounds like you were running.

    You looked beautiful!

    Dude...we didn't even get a chance to cut our cake! It was sooooo hot. I feel like a lot of things were skipped, or overlooked I guess at our wedding. But seeing some of our pictures, we both look happy, and ended up married, and that's all that really matters.

    Congratulations!

    Hear, hear! We had everything up to and including a whipped cream fight at our reception. But nothing could dampen our euphoria!

    I love your positive attitude and how you handled everything. If you lived about 2000 miles closer I would hire you to do my wedding Smiley laugh
