Crazy Things At Weddings

Many couples (or best men) do crazy things for their weddings just because they think it is the in thing. Sometimes they do it because they want to be original. In some cases they get to pull it off. At other times it is a disaster waiting to happen and the whole room breathes a sigh of relief if they make it through the entire wedding celebration without mishap.

For example, some brides are absolutely determined that they will have the most shapely figure for their wedding. They want to have the tinest possible weight so aside from starving themselves and exercising all the time (this is one step away from anorexia, ladies), some brides decide to get a corset. Yes, you read right - a whale bone corset just like they used in the olden days. On the wedding day, some brides look just like Kiera Knightley, gasping and fainting from being unable to breath properly.

Thank goodness the surprise cakes aren’t so popular anymore. The surprise cakes were the fake cakes with a person hidden inside. These are usually used for birthdays, bachelor parties and the like. Some prankster best men get the grooms in trouble when they deliberately mix up the order dates and the bride and groom get a surprise. It can mean a cold wedding night for the groom.

Whenever anyone objects at a wedding, drama is instantly added. Can you believe that some best men actually hire someone to pretend to object to the wedding - if not pretend to object themselves. They think it’s funny but the joke can backfire in a very big way. It’s a lot funnier if the couple gives threatening glares at their guests like Kathy Griffin and her husband did at their wedding to make sure that none of them try and stop the wedding instead.

A few couples have chosen a balloon as their getaway vehicle. It can be great floating “under a twilight canopy” as the song “Up, Up and Away” goes. But it can be a hassle and potentially embarrassing for the bride to clamber into the basket in her wedding gown. Either prepare a getaway outfit or choose an easier vehicle to get in and out of.

Some couples opt to have all sorts of games at their weddings where the guests have to do some funny looking stuff just to entertain the happy couple and their guests. It sometimes feels like the court jesters never really went out of fashion watching some of the antics they go through like having to eat a banana as fast as they can or showing the newlyweds how a proper kiss should be done - some couples go way overboard here.

The long and short of it is, crazy antics can seem cute and sometimes they are funny but they aren’t always right for your wedding. Try to think whether it is worth it and something you’ll be glad you did when you look back at your wedding. If you say it is, just make sure that you have all bases covered and have your recovery plans in place just in case the joke goes wrong.
