You know when you are in the last months of your wedding planning and you are running around with very little sanity left to make sure everything will be absolutely perfect and nothing will go wrong? You have scrutinized over every detail, every Pinterest craft and day of wedding plans to avoid any problem that could arise on your wedding day.
Well, my dearest wedding friends, I have some news.
No matter what you do, something is going to go wrong on your wedding day, big or small. It's just all about how you handle it and pretty much, accept it. But what I can also tell you is this...
It won't matter once you make it to this point.
Top 5 things That Could go Wrong on Your Wedding Day
Spoiler: These did happen to me and I still married the man of my dreams
1| You just might get the stomach flu a week before your wedding. This means the last few days, that were meant for finishing touches, are spent on the couch and those details (stapling the programs, menus for every place setting, etc.)won't be finished. But guess what? No one noticed they were missing. Your wedding party timeline might not go out well a week before so everyone is properly prepared with who, what, where, when. But guess what? Everyone showed up and for the most part, were on time.
2| Because of said stomach bug, you might lose 7 pounds and when you go to your last fitting 4 days before your wedding, you are wiggling around in the top of your dress and having serious concerns about the types of wardrobe malfunctions you could have on the biggest day of your life. So you have to carefully calculate how to gain back a few pounds. And not to mention that's the teeny size you will continue to compare yourself to for the rest of your life. Plus side: You look absolutely AMAZING in your wedding dress.
3| Your florist could show up one bouquet short. Then say you never paid for said bouquet.
And the flowers in your bouquets might have lilies that will never open until the day AFTER your wedding. But thanks to some pretty great bridesmaids, the missing bouquet will arrive just in time for pictures and all will say how great the flowers look even with the closed buds. Thanks, friends.
4| You could have a billion people step on your wedding train and even rip out an alteration.
Thus, appears a hole in your wedding dress *Gasp* But it's all good. It's in the skirt, barely noticeable and if you have a super talented bridesmaid that keeps you cool, she sews your dress right back up to mirror the alteration that was misplaced.

5| It could rain on your wedding day when you are supposed to be having an outdoor ceremony and outdoor cocktail hour.
From the time you start checking that 10 day forecast you watch how that chance of rain changes. You hope and pray it stays at 20% or goes down. As it increases daily, you have breakdowns about how unfair it is and how everything is ruined because it's going to rain.
But then you wake up on your wedding day, there's remnants of a tropical storm pouring down and it's suddenly ok and it doesn't matter, because it's your wedding day!
And in a few short hours you will have a husband.
Now, that's pretty cool.

And there you have it, wedding planning friends. I survived all of that (and more) and managed to get myself a few good pictures and a pretty handsome husband. Of course, with a little wine added in.
And in 5 years, when I have a little one and in the throes of my happy marriage with my little family, I won't focus on any of these, just that this day was so magical to have married my husband with all our friends and family around us to witness it.
What wedding mishaps did you have? How did you handle them?
