Weddings, Pranks and Love: Pranking hell!

Pranking hell!

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - Canada - Quebec

Today, I got married. I'm Jewish, and it's traditional to break a glass cup by stepping on it after giving the bride her ring. My brother thought it would be funny to replace the glass cup with a rubber one. I slipped and fell flat on my back. FML

Today, at my wedding, when my husband heard, "You may now kiss the bride!" he swung me down romantically and was about to plant one on me when his arm slipped, causing me to fall on the floor hitting my head, and getting a concussion. FML

It's the thought that counts

Today, on my wedding day, when they said, "You may kiss the bride", I swung my wife over in the romantic fashion and went in for the kiss. Unfortunately, my hands were sweaty as I was nervous, and she slipped under my grip. She fell and was knocked unconscious in front of hundreds of people. FML

Today, I was at a baby shower with my wife. I went to go outside for some fresh air, but walked straight into their glass sliding door. Everyone stared at me. I smiled with embarrassment and walked back over to my wife, only to trip over my own feet and faceplant the floor. FML

Nervous

By Mike-al - 05/11/2023 09:00 - Germany

Today, I was the ring bearer at a wedding, something I'd been nervous about being ever since the groom asked me. As I was walking down the aisle, I tripped over nothing and the ring flew from the little silk pillow and rolled into a nearby pond. FML

Today, I was the maid of honor at my sister's wedding. I was the first one to walk down the aisle, where I managed to trip over a wire, shutting off the music and falling on my face. My family cheered and took pictures. FML

Floundering

Today, I was at a friend’s wedding, and when it came time to make a toast, I tried to stand up to make a speech. My suit jacket got caught on the chair, and I ended up falling flat on my back. The speech was drowned out by everyone laughing. FML

Today, it was my wedding day, and while I was standing next to my husband in front of all of our guests, I was rocking on my heels because I was nervous. I rocked too far and fell backward. My husband didn't come to help me up. He just said at the top of his lungs, "FAIL!" FML

Typical first comment; it's a very tragic disease.

#78, it's supposed to represent the Destruction of the Temple, and even during our most joyous moments, we are supposed to remember the hardships of our people. As far as how you started your note, you may want to review the Ten Commandments. I'm not a great keeper of them myself, but nevertheless ;)

I just feel like pulling a prank in the actual wedding ceremony is a dick move. He should have saved the pranking for the reception.

Well the glass is tradition cause way back when, very traditional Jewish people, it was accepted that the women was still a virgin. After they would say the "I do's" basically the bride and groom would go to a separate room and they would have sex for the "first time." The breaking off the glass was to show that they were finally a married couple after that happened. Now mostly skips the first part, but the glass is still in it.
