Wedding bloopers at your wedding. People say no one will notice except you, Not altogether true. I have three---

My wedding was on the cheap.Total was 1000 dollars that Rich and I paid for, On a 400 a month salary I found a dress I loved and it was cheap. Why was it cheap--it was a winter wedding dress. It was in the 90s the afternoon of the Mass. I was so hot. Second, for some reason I was into the color yellow My bridesmaids had yellow gowns and ushers were in yellow tuxedos, They looked like canaries walking down the aisle. And finally, when the priest introduced us Mr and Mrs, M and we could kiss. Rich tried to French kiss me. I gave him the eye. Do you have any wedding bloopers at your wedding or another?

(who was a NOTORIOUS flirt and a manicurist for MEN at a downtown posh club) had our best man up against the wall trying to kiss him (and who know WHAT ELSE). She pursued him all afternoon.

Although the dyed-redhead hussy was married... she couldn't give 2 f*cks who saw her. ROFLMAO!!!

6. My sister's wedding in 1972

While kneeling for the final blessing, the groom, a big tough football player and marine, fainted backwards and hit his head on the floor. In the resulting kerfuffle, my younger sister, 11, a junior bridesmaid, also fainted. Dad picked her up and slung her over his shoulder and took her outside to recover. Everyone was OK thankfully.

I was way too young & stupid to know that I needed flowers, so on the way out I picked some out of the JP’s flower bed. Made her cry. That was 60 years ago and we still laugh about it.
