The Confessions
Each week, wedding vendors and regular-old people send in their own confessions. Ranging from the funny and ridiculous, to heartwrenching - these confessions are posted on our Instagram, and the best ones, we save those for here, first.

If rain on your wedding day means luckā¦ š¦
We got to the church and took our seats. Vibe was off, but didnāt think much of it. Then the start time passed and nothing happens, didnāt think much of it. Finally I said something to a friend next to us, something like, āgee this is late?ā
āYeah itās terrible isnāt it?ā
āHuh? What?ā
āOh you didnāt hear ā¦ā
The entire wedding party got food poisoning from the rehearsal dinner the night before. One bridesmaid, then another, then siblings, parents, bride and groom, everybody. They had a small ceremony at the brideās parents house. No church ceremony but a short talk from the pastor (in part to kill time before the reception). They made a short appearance at the reception, but that was it. Just wholly unfair.
Anonās Take:
If rain is considered to be lucky on a rainy day, then an entire bridal party with the squirts has to be hitting the jackpot for your marriage.
Congrats?
4th timeās the charm
I was the matron of honor at my BFFs wedding.
Her dad was semi recently married to his 4th? Wife. So, brides āstep momā but only in name.
She and the bride didnāt get along, but were surface level cordial to each other.
Step mom is super weird about money because she had none, and married the dad for his.
She was very upset about how much he spent on this wedding for his only daughter.
So upset apparently, she showed up in a floor length, full on white wedding gown of her own.
The wedding coordinator sees them walk in, pulls me aside and letās me know this bitch just walked in to the cocktail hour before the ceremony in a god damn wedding dress and asks if I think the bride should be made aware or if we should just hope she doesnāt notice until after the vows.
I told her I would take care of it, and did.
We did the āgetting ready picsā in the bridal suite, and after she was all ready to go and it was 15 mins till showtimeā¦ I took the bride out to the patio overlooking her gorgeous venue, and watched her guests scurrying to find their seats and we shared a secret cigarette like we were teenagers againā¦ and I told her that I saw her step mother in the lobby. And that i unceremoniously poured an entire glass of red wine down the front of her dress.
Anonās Take:
Spilling red wine on someone on purpose is a bold move.
Itās sort of the same energy as taking off your glove and slapping someone with it to challenge them to a duel.
Pretty sure this was a vendor - which is ballsy AF - but as a fellow vendorā¦
Nicely done.
I just miss my dad..
My dad passed away when I was 2 years old.
I got married at 23. I am now 31.
That day I was soo emotional that I started crying as soon as I got outside of the church.
Everyone including my mom who walked me down the isle thought it was wedding nerves.
In reality, I cried because my dad wasn't there.
Anonās Take:
Iām a Dad.
This submission broke me when I read it.
Iāve been to plenty of weddings with awesome dads.
The kind with the best friend type of connection.
Youāll see those Dads lose it walking their kids down the aisle.
Before their speech, they do that thing where they look up and take one big breath in. Hoping to not lose their shit between the words.
You can tell that theyāve been thinking about this day for a really long time, too.
..Iāve also been a part of just as many weddings with not-so-great Dads.
The kind that just sort of goes with the flow.
Theyāre kind of just.. there.
And of course, many days with no Dad at all. Either by death or choice.
This person didnāt know their Dad at all.
I think he wouldāve fit into the first category.
