Dear PartyPOP,

My wedding day was a disaster. I’m just going to write you a list of all the things that went wrong. Maid of Honor’s brother had to take us to the Beauty salon at 5:30 in the morning because the Limo didn’t show up. After calling them 15 times I finally got someone on the phone and they told me they forgot about the wedding. We ended up with and Executive Town car that was really too small for us in our frilly dresses. Needless to say I didn’t pay them and they didn’t ask.

The DJ didn’t show up and we had to call some unprofessional guy that was an hour away to come. The whole wedding was planned around having a DJ there. By the time he arrived it was three hours later than planned so the whole wedding and reception was three hours late. The DJ showed up with a not so nice Hawaiian shirt and his fly down. He started setting up his Equipment on the floor. We had to find him a table to set it up on.
He didn’t bring the Wedding March and we had to borrow one from another reception. He told me he had the song my husband and I wanted to Dance to and then didn’t show up with it. We had to pick one on the spot that we really didn’t like that much. He didn’t announce anyone’s name correctly during the introductions. He didn’t even announce any of the typical wedding events like the bouquet toss, cutting the Cake, or the money dance that we wanted to do.

My friend was Singing a song during the procession and the Microphone broke.

My mom’s boyfriend gave me away and offered me to the best man not my husband to be. He said he was nervous.

The Photographer was horrible. When we went into hire her, we thought the pictures on the walls were one’s she had taken and they weren’t. Her skills left something to be desired. The sky was overcast as well, so the pictures just weren’t very great.

I ordered the Cake with explicit instructions not to have any fruit filling. I only wanted Cake. When we went to cut the Cake it was filled with Strawberry filling.

My mother insisted on me having an 18 pin bustle on my Dress. On the day of the wedding she was so drunk she couldn’t find the hooks. I was standing outside the wedding exposing myself while my wedding party was trying to help me get the bustle on. People were inside looking out taking pictures of me as I was flipping them off.

Matt, my husband, left me standing at the alter so he could go say good-bye to his friends. To this day, I don’t understand that one.

The Chicken tasted like rubber because everything was put off 3 hours including the planning of the meal.

I forgot I had gum in my mouth as I was walking down the Aisle.

Matt and I agreed not to write our own vows. We were just going to do the standard wedding Vows. While I was waiting for the ceremony to begin, one of my friends told me that Matt was writing something he wanted to say to me. Now at the very last moment I had to think of something to say back. I wrote it on a business card and stuck it in my bra.

My Dress was too tight.

I had my Make up done professionally and I looked cheap when she was done. I ended up having to remove a bunch of it to look OK.

And to top it all off:
My Bridesmaid broke her foot and had to hobble down the aisle.

I could probably come up with a few more things, but I think this pretty much tells how my wedding day was.

Thank you for reading this. It feels good to let it off of my chest.
