Wedding days are special moments meant to be shared with friends and family. They are also meant to be memories to look back on over the years. Unfortunately, in some cases, when we look back it’s not on the picture-perfect moment we were hoping for.

Here are 75 wedding fails that will be hard to forget.

#1 Bring in the search party

Wedding days are meant to be happy and relaxed. However, on the rare occasion, some turn into military-led search parties.

#2 Maybe inside would have been better

In theory, an outdoor wedding seems perfect. However, when you have to smack the mosquito off your soon-to-be husband, it can send the wrong impression to guests.

#3 How does that even happen?

We hope he isn’t doing the navigating on the way to the honeymoon. They may end up in Antarctica instead of a tropical destination.

#4 Shhh!

Apparently, she had something to say. We hope this isn’t a sign that the relationship wasn’t meant to be.

#5 The perfect moment….Oh, never mind

The beach is the perfect place for wedding photography. However, the reality of all of that wind and water may not be as picture-perfect.

#6 Only a little late

Our question is, did he really think he still had half an hour left or was the game just too exciting to miss? We may never know the truth.

#7 Wrong name

Getting someone’s name wrong happens, but it probably shouldn’t happen in the middle of the ceremony on your special day. At least the brother had a sense of humor.

#8 Locked in

We’ve all had that nightmare. Well, this dad wasn’t going to let it come true. That door did not get in his way.

#9 We all get nervous

We all make mistakes now and then. Using the wrong word isn’t unheard of. However, that one might take a while to live down.

#10 A small error

Everyone wants to look perfect on their wedding day. Unfortunately, sometimes the best you can do is Halloween makeup.

#11 Too cute

Interruptions should be kept to a minimum during a wedding ceremony. However, in this case, the interruption was just adorable.

#12 An unnecessary lecture

Phones ringing at the wrong time can be annoying, but maybe the person with the ringing phone shouldn’t be the one giving the lecture on it.

#13 Not quite the right tune

We wonder if the DJ was trying to imply that it was a shotgun wedding. At least they’ll have a funny memory to share.

#14 Not the right time

Some people have a unique sense of humor. Unfortunately for them, not everyone shares it.

#15 Awkward moments

You do everything you can to make sure that things will be perfect on that day. Unfortunately, no amount of rehearsing and memorizing will ever really be enough.

#16 Wrong tradition

Happy Birthday, Here Comes the Bride…. hey, they almost sound the same. Right?

#17 A moose!

There is a perfect time to get a picture of a moose, and then there is that moment right in the middle of your vows. This man might still need to learn the difference.

#18 This is Sparta!

Hey, who knew there were that many Spartas? It’s an easy enough mistake to make.

#19 A dinosaur crashing through

Well, they may not have been expecting a dinosaur at their wedding, but he did add an interesting touch.

#20 Conga line!

Everything is more fun when people join in. However, things can get a little awkward when they don’t.

#21 A little unexpected

Imagine going to what you think will be a peaceful event with some soft music…and then the guns come out.

#22 Fire the DJ!

The first dance is almost as integral to a wedding as saying your vows is. However, someone forgot to mention this to the DJ.

#23 Moms

Maybe the moms were just too busy gossiping about their kids. Hey, you never know!

#24 Well, that happened

We know it made the wedding awkward, but what about every moment following that too? That would be hard to forget.

#25 Mistaken identity

There are things you can plan for. And then there are things you wouldn’t even think to plan for.

#26 When they just weren’t your flowers

Catching the bouquet is a dream for many. However, some of us can only dream.

#27 A reason to postpone

It can be hard to postpone a wedding, especially after booking the venue and paying for the catering. However, there are times when postponing is probably a good idea.

#28 Who?

It’s bad when grandma gossips. It’s really bad when she gossips about you – with you.

#29 Chad!

Dad’s either senile or really wishing his daughter had married someone else. Which one are you betting on?

#30 A little chaos

Dogs are man’s best friend, and sometimes the source of our laughter. We just hope the grandfather eventually figured out why everyone was laughing.

#31 No bedside manner

When you faint once, it’s understandable. Twice, maybe it’s time to sit down. As for the third time, apparently that’s when priests give up on you.

#32 An unparty

It would be a shame to waste all that food. We can see why they decided to still have the party.

#33 Getting started early

Drinks are usually for after when the vows have been said, but apparently one uncle had other plans.

#34 Too much!

Kids have limits when it comes to how much gross adult stuff they can put up with. That was clearly the limit.

#35 Flower cleanup

Leaving a trail of flowers wasn’t possible with this one very dedicated flower girl. She had some very specific plans for them.

#36 Proud parent

Mom and dad usually have a lot to be proud of. However, sometimes they show it a little bit too much.

#37 A disappointment

The speech started out predictable. However, at some point it took a very sharp turn.

#38 The anointed one

Getting revived with holy water is a story to tell the kids about. It’s just a good thing that he wasn’t actually a vampire.

#39 Small details

There is a lot to plan for if you want to be ready for your wedding days. One of those plans should include remembering your vows.

#40 Good intentions

How could she have known? Usually, bubbles have some sort of limit.

#41 Short marriage

It’s never a good sign when they’re talking about divorce at the wedding. Never.

#42 It was still fun

Dancing is dancing, right? And they found their way to the right place eventually.

#43 A “small” inferno

when you arrange transport for guests, there is always the chance of a few things going wrong. However, the bus catching fire isn’t usually on that list.

#44 April Fools!

There are some unique days of the year to get married. However, there is one that no one will believe.

#45 Regifting

Regifting happens. Next time, make sure to remove the note that came with the present.

#46 Boogie woogie woogie

We have to share this little guy’s disappointment. The adults should have joined in.

#47 Under arrest

The problem with being a best man and having warrants is that everyone knows where you will be that day…including the police.

#48 Waffles

You say one thing wrong on your wedding day and never live it down. At least in this case, he got a great breakfast from it.

#49 Bad timing

There is a time to share bad news. That time is not while you are walking someone down the aisle.

#50 It’s all about the love

Sometimes it really is about the two of you. The location isn’t relevant, but it does make a good story.

#51 A little magic

Spelling mistakes happen. Maybe this one comes with a magic spell.

#52 Time for the chairs

When one person faints at a wedding, it’s not entirely unexpected. This family got everyone involved.

#53 The spirits know

Something seemed to be holding her back. Hopefully, it was only the dress.

#54 The ring bear

Sometimes, it is important to explain things to kids. That is unless you just really need a ring bear.

#55 We’ll always have the memories

Back before everyone had a camera on their phone, it really was important to take the lens cap off the camera.

#56 When everything goes wrong

We hope that wrong limo still got them to their destination. The rest of the day just sounds bad.

#57 Doves

Doves at a wedding are symbolic and beautiful. They’re also birds and tend to do what birds do.

#58 Caught it!

Everyone wants to catch the bouquet. Most people don’t intend to catch it with their face.

#59 They tried to call…

Can you imagine walking down the aisle and still taking phone calls? It’s kind of assumed that everything is already prepared by that point.

#60 Sometimes kids are too honest

The violinist was just doing a favor by singing. As the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished.

#61 A toast

Jokes are cute, but there is a time and a place for them. A toast really should be more than a piece of toast.

#62 Rude!

Here’s another wedding party member with a sense of humor. We hope she forgave him.

#63 Dominoes

This cascading series of unfortunate events took center stage for a little while. We hope everyone recovered.

#64 Not cool

Not everyone has a good relationship with their mother-in-law. This one is definitely off to a bumpy start.

#65 When you think you’re composed

He was doing his best to look good on his wedding day. However, the camera told a slightly different picture.

#66 When she can’t stop laughing

Is it a good sign or a bad sign? At least he’s marrying someone who can laugh.

#67 Cursed from the start

There’s nothing quite like a church that is half empty because part of the family thinks your marriage is cursed. We hope the couple is still together.

#68 Another mother-in-law in white

Mother-in-laws can take some getting used to. This one might take quite a while.

#69 Is god saying something?

We hope their marriage really is a miracle and it lasts for their entire lives. As for the person in charge of the sign, they might need a new job.

#70 That’s a new one

How do you spell your own name wrong? Also, is it still legally blinding?

#71 Not the best speech

We don’t think she will be getting invited to be the maid of honor in any other weddings. Do you?

#72 A lost ring

He had the perfect plan, but somehow it went wrong. We do wonder where that ring ended up.

#73 ”Too cheap”

Asking wedding guests to take photos is becoming more popular. However, there’s no need to add any further explanations.

#74 Food poisoning

There is nothing quite like giving everyone food poisoning. That’s one memory no one will forget.

#75 Oops!

There’s nothing quite like invoking the name of an ex on a wedding day. We hope she was eventually forgiven for the skip up.
