Things I wish I’d never seen at weddings
At a January wedding, in the Catholic Cathedral in my hometown, a guest wearing white linen pants, a white linen backless top (one of those handkerchief-with-strings tops) and a BLACK THONG. Totally visible.
One of my cousins so drunk at the after-rehearsal-dinner party that he actually messed himself.
Eighty-five wedding guests gathered outside the hotel at 6 o’clock in the morning because one of the guests couldn’t wait till he got outside to have a cigarette, so he lit up in the elevator and triggered the fire alarm.
The groom’s name misspelled on the program.
The food running out 20 minutes into the reception, before the bride and groom had even arrived from taking pictures.
The maid of honor repeating mindless phrases out of some “wedding toasts for dummies” book because she so strongly disapproved of the groom.
Champagne being passed out to ONLY THE FAMILY during toasts. (We had a bottle of Crown hidden under our table, so we were OK, but still. Tacky.)

Your maid of honor is quite impressive, but it’s even *more* impressive that you could remember who was invited with a date, who wasn’t, and then *where they were seated.* Nice job! I’m sure it was a beautiful wedding.
By the way, does your maid of honor have tips for future maids of honor?
