When we receive a wedding invitation, we typically imagine an evening filled with delicious food, lively music, and joyful dancing. Weddings are meant to be a celebration, but sometimes, things don’t go according to plan—and in some cases, they take a completely unexpected turn.
Take my aunt’s wedding, for example. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until the moment she was supposed to say, “I do.” Instead, she blurted out, “I can’t do this!” and ran out. Sounds bad, right? Well, it got even worse. As she bolted, her fiancé shouted after her, “What about the baby?!” That was the moment we all found out my aunt was pregnant.
If you think that was chaotic, let me tell you about my cousin’s wedding. He was 19, and his bride was just 16. Their families couldn’t stand each other, and the tension at the event was unbearable. Insults were exchanged left and right, and to make matters worse, the bride’s brother had recently been released from prison. He nearly started a fight with at least two other guests.
As if that wasn’t enough, there was another disaster. The ceremony was set to take place in another part of the city, but just before it began, my cousin realized he had lost the wedding rings at the bride’s house. For some reason, he hadn’t bothered to retrieve them. So when the officiant asked for the rings, there were none. It was an absolute mess.
