10 Top wedding disasters
1 – You are marrying another nationality and the family members don’t get along. The absolute worst disaster is a family fight at the reception. It might be worth a family meeting before the wedding and some direct talk if you even suspect that this could occur.
2 – You have an allergic reaction to something on the day of your wedding. Ensure that you have a few antihistamine tablets around.
3 – Either the bride or the groom have way too much to drink and pass out at the reception. This could be a huge disaster so try to space your drinks and do not, under any circumstances, mix them.
4 – A chandelier comes loose and falls crashing to the floor. Check the reception venue properly and ask a handyman to check all fittings beforehand.
5 – One of the food dishes has an awful smell that tells you, it’s off. Call the caterer aside and softly tell her to GET RID OF IT IMMEDIATELY.
6 – The bar man gets drunk. It might be a wise thing to ensure that the bar man that you choose, does not drink at all. It’s the safest.
7 – The music is NOTHING to what you had in mind. Ask a close family member to take a few favourite CD’s along, just in case.
8 - The camera man trips and falls over a chair. Lets just hope this doesn’t happen.
9 – You have hired the centre pieces on the tables and you notice that guests are taking them with them when they leave. Perhaps place a few little memorables on the table for guests to take and ask your mum or your sister or bridesmaid to ensure that everyone knows what they can take home and what has to be returned. Alternatively, it’s not uncommon to gently remind them on the invitation.
10 – The bride or the groom falls asleep on the night of the wedding. It’s important to work hard at this NOT HAPPENING. If it does….ahhh well….. you’ll have a lifetime to catch up.
