Are you one of those cynical wedding guests who delights in seeing things go wrong at weddings? Well, shame on you, if you are. But even we have to admit that this Wedding Bingo game from Groom 411 is pretty funny. Just don't let the bride catch you playing.

The bingo cards are filled with things that can go wrong at weddings: groom says the wrong name, groom's ex makes a scene, someone objects during the ceremony, the bride's parents can't stop crying, etc. We really hope none of these things happen at your wedding -- certainly not enough for anyone to get a real bingo -- but we like the idea.

We suggest that it could be fun for guests to take this premise, but change the things on the card to something a little less disastrous. Things that happen at weddings, that could be fun to watch for, and that no one will hate you for laughing about: minister mispronounces the bride's name, maid of honor cries during her toast, you catch a groomsman and a bridesmaid making out, the bride smashes the cake in her groom's face, little kids break dancing, and so on. Have fun!

Someone's camera went missing. Someone threw out an accusation. Someone else threw the first punch. And from there, well, things just got out of hand. The riot "just kept going on and on", according to Sgt. Telerico, one of about 30 police officers called into quell the fighting.

Six arrests were made, and, though there were some 30 fights in all, only three people were hospitalized (is this good or bad?) -- one with a punch to the face, and two with stab wounds. One of the unfortunate victims was the DJ. Wonder if he'll be including danger pay in his fees from now on?

And the moral of this story is ... always provide disposable cameras?

You're married! The ceremony is over, and you're relaxing at the head table (or maybe the sweetheart table) with your brand-new husband. You raise your glass to graciously receive one of the many toasts ... and the nightmare happens. The glass slips in your hand, and drops of wine, deep red wine, spatter onto the bodice of your gown.

After your heart starts beating again, what do you do? If you have Madame Paulette's Stain Removal Kit in your emergency kit, you grab a few packets and get to work. A super-absorbent cloth here, a stain removal cloth there, a little diligent tamping -- and your gown is saved!

You're at the front of your assembled guests. The officiant pronounces you husband and wife, and you're invited to share your first married kiss. The last thing you want is your lipstick smearing up to your nose, or your groom ending up looking like he was wearing it first!

What to do? Some tell us to purchase "smudge-free lipstick", but although there are products being marketed which makes this claim, Terry Barber (senior M.A.C. makeup artist in London, England) sadly informs us that this is a myth. Well, he isn't so sad about it, really: "Ha! There is no such thing as a smudge-free lipstick."

Here's a wedding memory one couple probably wishes they didn't have: A Seattle man was arrested Sunday when guests at a wedding spotted him perched in a tree with his pants around his ankles. One adult and six kids (!!) saw the nude wedding crasher and called the cops.

The man attempted to flee -- still partially naked -- down a nearby trail, but park employees caught up with him and he was hauled off to the slammer, where he is being held without bond.

His excuse? He was only urinating! From a tree. Riiiiiiight...

If you're looking for material for your toast as the best man, or if you're a bride who just needs to laugh after a day of stressful wedding planning, jokes are always a good place to start. Gathered from around the internet, here are some of our favorites:
  • Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor's Degree and a woman gets her Masters.
  • Love is a long sweet dream... and marriage is the alarm clock.
  • A woman bragged to her friends, "I made my husband a millionaire." "What was he before you came along?" they asked. "A multi-millionaire."
  • Grooms, rest assured that in every discussion or argument, you will always get the last words: "Yes, dear."
  • A husband says to his wife, "No, I don't hate your relatives. In fact, I like your mother-in-law even better than I like mine."

This little gem is a must-have for the bride with the taste for the outrageous, the woman with a wacky sense of humor, who wants to take the whole "Tacky Vegas Wedding" thing and just RUN with it. Be very sure that's what you want, though, because run with it all the way, and you end up here, with this, er, lovely, Elvis-inspired jump suit.

Made entirely of polyester-(of COURSE)-lycra, it is trimmed at every conceivable point with gold lamé: on the stand-up collar, the bell sleeves, the oh-so- tasteful slitted bell-bottom legs. It is finished off with a gold lamé sling belt.

The rhinestone trim is optional. Because, you know, it's good to know the bounds of good taste.

If you're really interested in this delectable bridal jumpsuit, you can find more information here. But before you take the leap, be aware, (in the words of the wise, funny and experienced-in-tacky Ms. Dolly Parton), "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap."

This one's for the grooms out there. You're rented the tux, you've got the cummerbund, stud set and shoes. You're all set. When your bride asked how it all fit, you told her "fine", because you're sure it will be. No, you haven't really tried it on yet -- who wants to wear that thing twice? -- but it looks fine, there on the hanger.

You put the damned thing on the morning of the wedding. And the pants are three inches too short. Do you pack your bags and leave, knowing that you won't survive the ceremony anyway, once your beloved bride gets sight of you?

Or do you whip out your ever-helpful Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook for Weddings? Because the answer is right there on page 62. No, we're not telling you what it is! You'll have to buy your own copy.

(Hint: It involves electrical tape.)

You've never been a particularly fashion-conscious woman. Jeans and a t-shirt have been just fine for most of your life, with occasional forays into jean skirt and dressy tee, and suddenly, here you are looking in the middle of a whirlwind of fashion terms.

Whirlwind? How about tsunami? You've struggled through 'bodice' and 'pinch pleats', 'sweetheart' -- as a neckline, not a term of endearment -- and 'cathedral' (as a veil length, not a building), and you've found your gown. And your bridesmaids, bless their hearts, have something nice to wear, too.

It was an unexpectedly crazy wedding ceremony for Colorado couple Julie Sokolowski and Ken Grady. The original plan was to hike 4 miles into a remote and beautiful part of the San Gabriel mountains, along with 50 wedding guests, for an intimate outdoor ceremony. When the group smelled the fires, they weren't too concerned because emergency crews told them it was still safe to spend the night. That plan changed, however, and the wedding party was forced to evacuate. It took five airlift trips to get the entire group out, but nobody was hurt by the fires that have already destroyed about 500 acres. This is one couple that will have an incredible wedding story to tell.

It's long been a fad to label yourself. T-shirts declare the wearer "sexy" or "hott" or "yummymummy", declare your favorite team, television show, dessert. You name it, there's a shirt for it.

Or panties. And really, there's a certain logic in a bride wearing a pair of these under her wedding dress:



After all, you're only going to be a bride for just the one day! Why not celebrate it as much as you can?! (If red isn't your color, they also come in white, black, and baby blue.) After the wedding, when it's all official, a pair of these might be fun for under the going-away outfit:

You've heard of surprise parties, you've heard of surprise showers, you've even heard of a surprise wedding. (Yes, you did: you heard it here.)

But a wedding that was a surprise to the bride??? Back in 1996, an Alabama police officer arranged to have his fiancée of 18 months pulled over. She was directed (by police megaphone) to leave the car and back toward the voice. When she got there, she received a bouquet, and was escorted by her fiancé to the courthouse, where, in front of family and friends who had been invited, they were married.

Okay, guys and gals, we're curious. Is this a fabulous, romantic idea, or a totally awful, arrogant way to rob the bride of her big day? What do you think? (And don't you wonder if they're still married?)

Is there no end to the magic of Disney? Frogs become princes, elephants can fly, and diamond rings appear out of...trash. While vacationing in the land of Disney, Paul Campanales accidentally threw away his wife's three platinum and diamond engagement, wedding, and anniversary rings when he trashed a cardboard container where she had put the rings for safekeeping overnight. Unlike the guests, rubbish at Disney World has its own roller coaster ride that culminates in a steep drop off into the trash compacter -- from which there is no return. However, when the housekeeper at the Wilderness Lodge realized that the trash had not yet gone to the compacter, he rallied eight hotel staff members in protective clothing to search the trash until they recovered the rings. Going through individual bags of what must be some of the most unmagical trash in the world, the rescue effort took less than three hours. Needless to say, the Campanales were relieved and grateful, especially Mr. Campanales, who was perhaps spared from spending eternity in Ursula's evil underwater lair. As Mrs. Campanales said, "That's five-star service."

We can think of only three reasons why a woman would choose this as her wedding gown. The first, and most obvious, is that she's pregnant. Feeling pretty much like a beach ball anyway, why not just go all the way and make yourself equally round, front and back? With a dress this ... spherical ... no one will be noticing how big your butt has gotten, at any rate...

Or perhaps her wedding diet wasn't as successful as she'd dreamed after they first set the date, and now she's pis-- er, annoyed -- and is rebelling against that whole "slim" thing. She's round and proud, and the rest of you can just deal. (Though why such a woman would be wearing a size 00 dress is a bit of a mystery ...)

Call it a burning love, if you will. When Lawrence Waterhouse III proposed to his girlfriend on Wednesday night, he set up a very romantic scene. In the gazebo outside his Chappaqua, NY home, he lit a votive chandelier and dozens more candles surrounding the area -- in the gazebo, the trees, all over.

She said yes, and the couple blew out the candles and left the area early the next morning for a trip out west. But they must've missed a candle somewhere....

At 7:15am Thursday morning, a neighbor called the fire department because the gazebo was burning. The firemen were able to put out the blaze, and only the gazebo burned. There were no injuries and the couple was able to continue on their trip. The fire chief said of the blaze, "We've had candle fires, of course, but I can't remember one at this level of romance."

Recently, an Australian morning program, Sunrise, put out a call for wedding horror stories. Heidi Shaw of Perth, Australia, answered the call and made an appearance on the show when her wedding horror story topped them all. You can watch her tell her story here.

Heidi has an impressive list of wedding bloopers. First, there was construction at her venue and she had to move her wedding just two weeks prior -- some of the guests didn't get the memo and never made it to the correct address. Then the photographer got lost, so she never had any professional wedding photos.

Both of the groom's parents had accidents -- separate ones -- that landed them in the hospital on the wedding day, and to top it all off, the groom lost his wedding band the very next day. What a disaster! But, Heidi says, "You've gotta laugh about it." She and her husband have been married three years now, and she says that all the events of that day just made their relationship stronger.
