Late-night host Jimmy Fallon asked his fans to send their best “weird or embarrassing” wedding stories for the show under the hashtag #WeddingFail on Monday and people responded with gusto. Thousands of people have already responded, many with home videos showing the exact moment the most special day of their lives went off the rails.
It’s Hashtags time! Tell us about a weird or embarrassing wedding story, and tag it with #WeddingFail. Could be on the show!

As you might expect, many of the wedding fails have something to do with the antics of young children who don’t yet understand the gravity of these events and also have no impulse control. Others were due to guests having a bit too much fun, and some of them were due to the bride and/or groom having too much fun. A surprising number of them are due to animals attending the wedding, either by the couple’s choice or because they crashed the party.
Whether you’re trying to deal with the stress of planning your own wedding or you just enjoy funny wedding stories, there are plenty of great ones to enjoy. And if you are planning a wedding, let this be the list that makes the most important bit of nuptial advice you could get sink in — something always goes wrong.
Hopefully at least a couple of these people get their stories told on the show:

Drunkenly spilled holy water on my crotch before the service. When I cracked, “my penis is blessed” the priest replied, “as drunk as you are, it’s gonna need all the help it can get.” #WeddingFail

My husband is not a drinker, but decided to do vodka shots with everyone that he could talk into it. This is how the reception ended for him, followed up with needing to be brought up to the hotel room on a luggage cart ????????#weddingfail pic.twitter.com/7LDB1lbO6T

As a kid, I went to a wedding that had little glass bowls with live goldfish & a floating tea light as centerpieces. As the candles burned the water heated up and killed all the goldfish. Everyone left the dance floor to find their centerpieces had gone belly up #WeddingFail

We were going to get married on a party boat on the Colorado River. No one told us the river was being dredged and the boat was out of commission. We had the ceremony on the riverbank among the trashcans and picnic tables, with the boat stuck in the river behind us. #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/4R56sWFOJg

We had just married and we were getting ready for the party. One of the older ladies was one of the first to arrive. She went to some food platter and took a big scoop of guacamole.
The guacamole was wasabi and they had to call the paramedics. #weddingFail pic.twitter.com/hp13t7rLMD— John McMurray (@Iriesheik) February 10, 2020
