I want to do another serial blog story.
Since it is wedding season, I thought that might be a good story idea. So I got to thinking, who has gotten married recently? Last year a neice got married, but that went off without a hitch.
Well, in my virtual world, that would be Rory Leafhopper, gnome extraordinaire.
Okay, so I have a gnome wedding to plan and, of course, something MUST go awry, but WHAT??
I looked online for top wedding disasters and most of them seem to be from the bride and groom's own stupidity (drunk, ill, left at alter, getting arrested, etc). I need something to jog my brainpan, people. Weird stuff. What are some good/bad things that can happen to a wedding?
Any and all suggestions are appreciated!
Write on!

BAD soloist
Bride or groom late for wedding
Outdoor wedding - pouring rain...muddy yard.
Someone drops cake
Awesome suggestions, Cyndi! Now, I have a couple of ideas I need to think about in the shower! Hm, I think the bad leprechauns may be making an appearance.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas from Cyndi. And bad leprechauns can always reap havoc. What's their motive?
ReplyDeleteWhat about wedding crashers? That's all I've got. lol
Oooo . . . wedding crashers. . . must think about this.
ReplyDeleteI might have to do a little Mythical research later
Thanks, Edie.
Margaret, you might need an objecting gnome who doesn't want to see his beloved get married ;) Talk about disrupting the wedding.
ReplyDeleteMy mother in law wore white to mine. And I can't tell you how many "What's up with that" whispers I received.
Thanks, Donnell.
ReplyDeleteI thought about having a nice 'old-fashioned' kidnapping of the bride . . . but then it might be funnier with the groom!
I was *kidnapped* from my place of employment once ;) I worked at Baskin & Robbins and two of my guy friends whisked me from behind the counter. I'm amazed I didn't get fired. It does cause a ruckus!
ReplyDeleteMargaret, you seem to be forgetting YOUR wedding disaster...... :)
ReplyDeleteBut, Jody, I don't think of that as a disaster! :-P
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad the tornado didn't take out OUR church!
My favorite real-life wedding story: the two adorable laced and beribboned flower girls got in a fist fight during the vows. The bridesmaids had to separate them and physically keep them apart for the rest of the service.
ReplyDeleteAnd then the groom refused to repeat "for better or worse" in the vows. The minister repeated it twice, and the guy just clamped his mouth shut and stared over the preacher's shoulder.
Do I need to say the divorce happened within a year?
The little girls fighting would work well for this story, Marilyn, but I see them as imps in disguise! :-) Love it!
ReplyDeleteMany smooches!
