    We had our wedding night in the very posh room of a very old pub.(4 poster and all).
    The room was on quite a steep slope. As we were sliding down during the night, we had to get down at the foot of the bed and climb back up again... kept us awake :D
    (the only time I wished we had handcuffs to keep us at the top!!!:rotfl: )
    Was that all that kept you awake?;):D

  • When I got married first time, we had a Rolls Royce booked - it got stuck on the wall in my parents front garden and couldn't get out without getting scratched :D

    Then, as I was a little early, I asked the driver to drive me around town so I could wave to some friends- he took me for a blast up and down the dual carriageway and I was 20 minutes late :D

    The photographer slipped on a gravestone and nearly fractured his skull.

    My dress was so big I couldn't get into the loo so couldn't drink anything all day.

    My husband left the wedding certificate inside the rented suit!!

    Second time round we just nipped down the local registry office with 3 friends :D:D

    just remembered another two horror moments. My mother had just spent 2 hours and a lot of money at the hairdressers. She could not get her bath taps to work no matter how hard she turned the monotap thing. I said "I'll fix this" and while she was still leaning over the bath fiddling with the tap I flipped a silver knob thing and she got an instant power shower. Will never forget the horror on her dripping mascaraed face and sopping hair.

    Nor the moment when new hubby and I returned to our suite only to find we had left the light on and the window open in midge season in scotland. Husband is virtually allergic to midges (they love him) and the ceiling was one fuming black mass of the things.

    Now I am thinking of it, I am struggling to remember any of the day that went particularly to plan.
  • We exchanged vows in front of all of our friends, and hubby made EVERYONE cry with the beauty of his vow :o
