Weddingbee boards

I had a couple little things - bouquet was a little different than what I wanted, families being a little stressful, broke the first button trying to bustle my dress - but the best is below.

Some of you may know that DH and I were waiting until marriage to have sex. That means has of our wedding night, we had been dating for 5 years and 3 months. That's a long time to wait. We were very, very, excited to get to the room. I'm leaving the ballroom to head to our room when DH walks toward me with this look on his face - he says "I think my parents' room is next to ours." That's right. We wait 5 damn years, and his PARENTS are next to us. DH goes to the room to see if he can hear his parents and confirm that they are there. As he's trying to get into the room, his dad walks out from next door. Awesome. So his parents then knew that we were next to them.

So DH and I go are sitting in a window seat trying to figure out what the hell to do. His dad is down in the lobby telling other random family members about this. Yeah, not cool. DH calls the hotel (since his dad is standing in front of the desk) to get our room changed. They have no more rooms like ours (multiple weddings in the area=no rooms). There is one standard room left. DH and I go back and forth and he calls his dad to ask if his parents could move to that room, which was down the hall a bit. No. they don't want to move and in any case they are going to go to sleep and won't hear anything anyway!?!?!

DH and I take the standard room and DH goes all badass and the hotel gives us both rooms, so we can use the jacuzzi in our original room, the next morning. 

Turns out when my mom checked us into our room, there were people still in it, so the hotel moved us up two floors, next to his parents.

To some couples I'm sure this wouldn't have been a huge deal, and if his dad hadn't seen DH trying to get into our room, we probably would have just dealt with it. However, DH and I are very private people and his dad would have told anyone and everyone about any noise, movement or anything he heard that night, which was completely unacceptable (and embarrassing) to us.

I'm wondering, what was the biggest mishap for other Bees on their big day?

I love your story! Probably very annoying at the time but you're going to love telling it in 15 yrs.

My mom was supposed to get her hair done with my godmother at lunchtime but for whatever reason decided to skip it because she was too hungry (what the eff). She then asked a friend to do her hair which apparently turned out to be a disaster. We were all staying at a resort 45 min from my mom's house and she hadn't brought anything to do her hair because she assumed she was going to the hairdresser with my godmother. So she comes barrelling into my room at like 4pm, her hair is wet and sticking out in like 80 directions and asks my hair lady if she can do something with it. We were supposed to start formals at 4:30 so this put a giant kink in my schedule, plus I now assumed every pic with my mom was going to be awful. My girl snuck my mom in and we ended up being about 30 minutes behind schedule but it was definitely the most holy sh*t moment of the day.

@LGenz: Lol, I'm laughing imagining what that hair must have looked like! And you're exactly right, it's become funny to us now, but Saturday night when I was tired, nervous, and about to cry, it was ANYTHING but! I flat out told DH if I knew his parents were a wall away, and they knew we were there, he wasn't getting any! Pretty sure he was going to hell and back to get that fixed then!

@Ayslinn87: Yeah and pretty sure his parents knew we had been waiting too. Awkward. His dad asked the next day if we ended up moving or not and FI didn't answer. It was funny to me. We ended up going to the original room in the morning to use the jacuzzi, and as we are sitting in it all naked and flirty, his mom calls. Then his brother starts texting. Talk about mood killer!

Our officiant showed up 45 minutes late to our wedding and only called 10 minutes before it was to start. She then blamed me even though I had everything in email to prove her wrong. On top of this, she wrote us a nasty letter telling us we were going to Hell, getting a divorce, and made comments about our child who died.

@Mrs.Oat: We booked rooms at TWO hotels! His ENTIRE family stayed at our hotel. The other hotel was honest to God one block away. We got a free room with jacuzzi at our reception hotel - no way were we staying the other hotel. I was kinda pissed when I saw they were all staying at ours - but the coordinator said, you'll be on a diff floor/section, whatever. Which we originally were until they screwed it up! Someone in the universe sure had a sense of humor!

@MrsSl82be: I was really worried about rain too, luckily it didn't, but that's too bad for you :( I think the anniversary pics sounds like a great idea! Hopefully they turn out wonderful!

@TheFutureMcBride: Omg, how awful! Pretty sure I would have slapped a b*tch.

@Talishazwi: haha, our unity candle went out by the time we got back to the kneeler. We were joking that it was the shortest union ever.

@MrsPinkPeony: ugh, nasty!

I forgot that it got even more fun when we got to the room - my mom and I had a miscommunication, and I didn't have a toiletry bag at all (was supposed to get switched at one point). So I couldn't brush my teeth, shave (thank God I had that morning) or brush my hair. Thank God I had my emergency kit which had makeup remover and a hair tie or I would really have looked awful the next morning with my raccoon eyes and crazy hair! His family would have really wondered what went on!

We even called the front desk to get toothpaste - and they were out. We just couldn't win that night, lol!

@hisgoosiegirl: This is why my FI and I are staying at a different hotel than our guests!!
