As a wedding vendor I want everything to be picture perfect (pun intended) for a couple on their wedding day, but things go wrong all the time. Last weekend I shot a fabulous backyard wedding, as the bridal party lined up to walk down the aisle the power went out in the whole neighborhood. You could almost hear everyone thinking “oh sh*t!”…followed by panic, then one of the guest yells “lets all hum” which lead to everyone singing “going to the chapel and we’re gonna get married…” Can you even imagine? How amazing would it be to walk down the aisle to all your closest friends and family singing?
Because of the Power outage all sorts of things went wrong…. Catering was really late with dinner which lead to more heart felt speeches to the bride and groom. The automatic sprinklers were reset and turned on spraying a couple guests, which caused everyone to laugh uncontrollably. By the very end guests were jumping up n down chanting “BEST WEDDING EVER, BEST WEDDING EVER.”
Moral of this story… Your wedding day is probably the most important day of your life. You plan this day for months, sometimes years, and you’ve dreamed about this day since you were a little girl. Things do go wrong. Keep your sense of humor, use your improve skills and enjoy this very special day.
Congrats Aimee & Bob!
