A UT game? Who was the minister and what did she say to him??? 
I was (almost) late for the wedding because of an NFL playoff game. We were married on December 16, and in those days the playoffs started earlier. I couldn't leave at that point.
I thought that she would surely understand.
When everyone was there and we were ready to start the wedding, the minister came up to us and breathlessly said:
"Would you mind if I went down the street to quickly perform a wedding in (a large church). Their minister didn't show up, three hundred people have been waiting anxiously for two hours, and the mother of the bride is in hysterics."
We said "Sure, go ahead."
Roflol...I'm not so sure I would have been as nice about the reason you were late but the minister thing...I might have agreed to. Nothing like a no show minister!!!
Let's see I forgot my shoes...until my sister and college roommate ran back to the house to get them I would have gave new meaning to the barefoot bride. Before I left for the church my "Much"older brothers decided to fix a water heater problem so they turned off the water...in other words...I would have been a barefoot bride but a smelly one too...late August afternoon wedding...but fortunately I took my bath before they did that. Next my sister, sisters-in-law, and about half of my family decided to go shopping an hour before we were suppose to be at the church for pictures. They pulled up as I was peeling out of the driveway. Got to the church to find the folks who cleaned it that morning turned off the A/C and forgot to turn it back on until they showed up for the wedding...remember this was a 3pm wedding in late August in the South...we managed to get through the wedding with standing room only...my wonderful wedding director wouldn't let folks be seated after the time for the start of the wedding. (300 people)...then after the wedding my new mother-in-law wanted my photographer that I was paying a huge fee for to take several family portraits WITHOUT me. I think I responded with "if you wanted a family portrait you could have gone to Olin Mills" when she told me it had been years since they had one taken. Well...after nearly 24 years of marriage and several kids later...I know how to not treat the new daughter-in-law before we get out of the church! We (me & MIL) get along wonderfully now but needless to say the first 5 years or so were kind of rocky!
So...that is my wedding day "funnies"!!!

Oh...I forgot to add that our minister was a Billy Graham in training and decided to spend at least 30 minutes of the wedding ceremony giving a salvation sermon and almost an alter call before getting to our vows...Did I mention it was a late August afternoon wedding in the south with almost no A/C and 300 people stacked into the church?? I was wearing my veil over my face...as was the custom back in 1984 and I was about to faint...my soon to be hubby kept pulling me back up straight when I would tilt a bit to the left!!! In the meantime my 4 "much" older brothers were sitting in the pew behind me passing the hanky and bawling. Then when it was time for my hubby to kiss me he pulled up my veil...kissed me and then pulled it back down. By that time the entire church was roaring with laughter. Yes...it was a 3 ring circus but it has given us many years of laughter remembering it.

I don't have any wedding funnies or bloopers.
However, if I ever get married, I'm sure I'll have more than a few....

Lynn, he laughed and asked the photographer to get pictures of it. She had already taken pictures of them while we were praying.

There should be a law against shoulder length chin hair on women...

December 16th weddings 
Hubby whispered and asked me what was so funny and I told him he'd find out later. At the reception the groomsman who did it told him to look at the bottoms of his shoes.
