What event is more stressful than a wedding? The answer This is the bride and groom’s day — their one big day — to get everything right; to throw a massive, unforgettable party for everyone who’s ever mattered to them in their entire lives; to embark on a new chapter in their shared story that has to go perfect or risk being seen forever by every guest in attendance as a harbinger of the inevitable divorce.

Also, you have to get the seating chart right, and that’s just such a headache.

And now Jimmy Fallon is holding up a magnifying glass on the worst moments of the best days of these couples’ lives. The Tonight Show host asked Twitter to send him their most jaw-dropping #WeddingFail moments, and as it so often is when any celebrity is crowd-sourcing silly-yet-cringe-inducing experiences, the internet showed up for it.



Weddings are slipperier than you think.

I knew at this very moment that I had done something very wrong… and then proceeded to slip on the stairs during our grand entrance. My wife’s face says it all. #weddingfail pic.twitter.com/OVzTZakEOs — Prince Johnson (@princej92) June 19, 2019

Between the nice shoes and the expertly-polished cathedral floors, slipping at weddings is pretty common.

What’s not so common? Slipping during you and your wife’s grand entrance, and locking eyes mid-air.

The bride here look like she’s simultaneously shocked, annoyed, and impressed.



This is not what the DJ means when he tells everyone to “get down.”

During our first dance I kept telling my husband that every time he twirled me, I was slipping on my dress. He twirled me one last time and I took a tumble. My first thought was to just start spinning, so my husband joined me on the ground. #weddingfail pic.twitter.com/yCyNsm9yHJ — carson reibe (@CarsonReibe) June 19, 2019

Another wedding, another affable stumble. But this time? The bride looks like she was thrown on the ground.

But before you start thinking it was intentional, the groom noticed what he’s done and gets right down on the ground with you.

Tossing you onto the ground and hopping right back down to be with you — ladies, get you a man who can do both.

“Honey, I know in our vows I said I wanted a strong man, but tone it down.”

My husband broke the dance floor lol #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/jTtSuBvFFp — Mrs. Anastasia Beaverhausen-Singh (@MsAWR) June 18, 2019

This is the happiest day of this groom’s life — no one’s faulting him for dancing his heart out.

But you just can’t be so excited you go around breaking reception hall floors.

How do you think the next group to rent that reception hall are going to feel? Some little girl’s best friend is going to fall into a hole in the ground, and it’s going to ruin her quinceañera.



Burn all the pictures, please.

I thought I was making a calm, composed face as my wife came down the aisle. I found out this was the face I made. #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/XDqpa4ac5g — Patrick Neville (@Patrick_Neville) June 18, 2019

No one’s going to call out a groom for looking weird on his wedding day.

But the pictures capturing this face? They gotta go. This face cannot be seen.

If his wife just has to put up pictures of her wedding in the house, she better invest in some stickers to cover up his face.

Feelin’ the heat.

My brother in law wore three undershirts in the middle of summer because he didn’t want to sweat through his tux. This happened. #weddingfail pic.twitter.com/wuGL1N4Adc — Ryan Darbonne (@ryandarbonne) June 18, 2019

It’s easy to forget that the whole point of being a groomsman is to act as a legal witness to the marriage.

And you can’t witness a marriage if you’re passed out.

That issue was decided by the courts a long time ago.

Well, it is a nice dress.

All three of the grandmothers unexpectedly showed up to the wedding in ??the??exact??same??dress!! #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/rRe9KxkDDA — Alex Campisi (@aacampisi) June 19, 2019

Sure, all these grandmas committed the fashion faux-pas that is wearing the same items as someone else at a wedding.

But can we take a minute to acknowledge that there’s a reason they all chose it?

Between the lacy top, the mid-shin-length skirt, and the easy-to-match-with-shoes color, this dress is peak-grandma dress.

I’m sorry, a WHAT bandaid?

#WeddingFail I got so nervous that I completely forgot my bouquet until the ceremony was over. But worst of all, my husband wore a Minions bandaid in all our pictures. pic.twitter.com/sd7AZfwxUR — Whitney Ludwig (@itswhittles) June 18, 2019

Every bride forgets her bouquet. That’s totally normal.

But why is this adult man wearing a Minions bandaid in his wedding photo? That’s my big question.

When I wear a minions bandaid — and I do, often — I am constantly thinking about it, and rip it off if there’s even a hint of discussion about taking a group picture.

This car is making its stance on the wedding perfectly clear.

My brother and I were tasked with bringing my great aunt Catherine’s wedding cake to the reception. But my brother didn’t have his car so we had to borrow a broken car from my friend. The car broke down, ate my jacket and burst into flames when we tried to fix it. #weddingFail pic.twitter.com/OxVz0pTZLF — marco alexander (@madebymarcoalex) June 18, 2019

Wow, that car was not about a wedding that day.

And it ate his jacket?

I guess this is what you get when you drive to your aunt’s wedding in Stephen King’s Christine.

I’m sorry, I’m gonna need you to start this story again from the beginning.

the time that Skeletor came to crash our wedding… so we had to have Mick Foley send him back to snake mountain!!! #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/chDXOhrbA3 — kid cadet (@kidcadet) June 19, 2019

All right, so Skeltor’s at your wedding. Weird, but okay.

But former WWE Champion and hardcore legend Mick Foley just happens to be there, ready to apply his signature move, Mr. Socko?

It’s too weird. At this point you’ve got to just send everyone home, pack it all in, and try again next weekend.

We all know who this wedding is about.

Went to a wedding reception a couple of years ago and randomly the DJ started playing only karaoke versions of songs. The kicker? He was the only one allowed to sing. #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/nOK9F4WJkC — Rachel Gentry (@Raqalita05) June 18, 2019

Okay, this one is a little cringe-worthy, but remember — it’s tough to make it in the music biz.

We shouldn’t shame someone for making the best of an opportunity to perform!

Bruno Mars might’ve been in attendance at that wedding.

Know your limits.

At my wedding reception, my little brother was doing his thing on the dance floor as the bridal party entered. The crowd energy gave him too much confidence and this #WeddingFail happened… pic.twitter.com/jvZq22E5h5 — Yves Batoba (@YBatoba) June 18, 2019



EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF.

At my sons wedding my grandson was pulling my granddaughter down the isle in a wagon. About halfway there he happens to turn around sees his mom walking out. He takes about two more steps, drops the wagon handle and runs after her. #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/U2A9vcDpD6 — LaRee Bumgarner (@BumgarnerLaree) June 19, 2019

“Mom’s getting married? I must be with her! Little sisters be damned!”

This is not the kid’s fault. Who thought it was a good idea to have a little brother pull his baby sister up the aisle? That’s a long walk for a little boy.

You can’t expect him to hold his attention on anything for that long. Thank god no one was playing Nintendo 3DS in an aisle seat, or he would’ve been locked in on that for the rest of the ceremony.

An open grave?

I was at my cousins wedding, and whilst waiting for everyone to arrive, a family friend fell down an open grave and had to be sent to the emergency room with a broken arm. #weddingfail — Elise☘️ (@mills__elise) June 18, 2019

I must have read this wrong. It has to be a typo.

No one gets married anywhere near an open grave, right?

My goth friend Helena got married with a bouquet of black roses and released bats instead of doves after they said their vows, and even she was like, “Keep my wedding away from a graveyard.”
