What was unique about my wedding?
With all the guests brought in from the East Coast, DH and I single-handedly raised the Jewish populations of [small city, midwestern state] by 49% in just one afternoon.

My brother and his fiance performed firedancing at our ceremony! We got married in the country so we invited dogs and when everyone cheered, all the dogs would start howling.

My grandfather married us and then passed away three months later.
My Mom got trashed. This NEVER happens...so it was a shock for all in attendance!

My mil got stoned with her friend during the reception.
A friend of my fil bragged about having his handgun with him.
Luckily, I didn't know about either of those til months later. The wedding and reception were great to me!

Bad: A/C went out on the dinner cruise. Candles were defective and wouldn't hold a flame during the ceremony. MIL and SIL sang a song and it was horrible to the ears.
Good: We knew ALL 33 guests for years. Instead of a wedding cake, I had a bakery make 35 large petit fours (oxymoron, I know -- they were roughly 3in by 3in) frosted like a little present with a bow.

Not my wedding, but I went to one many years ago where the bride's mother got into a car accident between the ceremony and the reception and no one noticed. She had been such a MOB-zilla, that I think the bride was happy to get some peace and didn't notice she hadn't arrived yet. (She was fine, just taken to the hospital for a quick check).
At that same wedding, I was dating the best man, and figured I'd be seated elsewhere. I wasn't, so I wound up sitting next the bride somehow at the head table. Had never met her before in the my life, and I'm in all their pictures....

I got married at the Wren Chapel at William and Mary. We had a bag piper lead the guests from the church to the reception site three blocks away.
There were some Colonial Williamsburg tourists who thought this was a tour or event, and joined in. We had a fair number of "wedding crashers" who stayed at my reception.

Nothing too unusual, but I was able to take the things that went wrong and make a good story out of them.
Which one is the laughing bride thread?

The best man and the maid of honor switched places during the ceremony (because the maid of honor had to translate for the groom - long story). Regardless, the best man ended up holding my bouquet during the ring exchange and all the pictures of this 6'4 guy standing there with a bridal bouquet in his hand are hilarious! It was totally unintentional and we didn't even realize it was happening until it was too late, and we just went with the flow.

The laughing bride thread made me think of this... What happened at your wedding (planned or not) that you've never seen happening before?
