I have been cackling madly at this thread all day and must share.
When my wife and I were to be married we wanted to just head to the courthouse but at the insistence of her parents ended up settling on a cheap, small, and campy wedding chapel.
We did our best to try to eliminate the ridiculous things from the ceremony and ended up with some real hilarity:
After repeatedly asking that they remove the stupid kneeling bench we ended up leaning over it during the ceremony. My wife is 5'4" and I am 6'4" so that pretty much sucked for her
They asked if we'd like "The Lord's Prayer" during the wedding. My wife said no but I was all like, "I am sure that will be pretty tasteful and our parents would appreciate it." Queue Kenny Rogers style 70's wanna-be country version of it sung played on one of those tiny one speaker tape recorder deals. That brought the house down...
When my Father-in-Law was to give my wife away he stood up there for awhile since apparently the people running the show had a lot to say first. My mother-in-law was convinced he had missed the queue as he is pretty deaf and was doing the loud whispering deal that everyone could hear trying to get him to sit down which he didn't hear until she stood up right as they finally got to the giving away of the bride to try to make him sit down.
Best of all we were exchanging vows and instead of saying, "With this ring I thee wed" I somehow ended up saying, "With this ring I be wed." How redneck country can you get. Crappy wedding chapel in South Carolina with me vowing "WITH THIS RING I BE WED!"
My wife will never let me live this down...
I did have an awesome Freudian slip with my mom one time. I grew up in Clemson, SC and it is a typical college town with typical college kids doing their typical jogging and work-out regimens. One day we were driving through downtown and this stacked woman was jogging in one of those super tight jogging suits and I said, "Nice sports Breasts," while meaning to say, "Nice sports bra." Whenever my father and I are in the car and see a girl jogging he must point out to me that those are indeed, "Nice sports breasts."
I am having a hard time thinking of others at the moment. There are plenty no doubt.
