Brides spend months planning every detail of their wedding day, but that doesn’t mean things can’t still go wrong. A groomsman dozes off mid0ceremony, a ringbearer trips and falls, or that-crazy-cousin of yours drinks way too much champagne and decides to mimic a pole dancer at the reception. And let’s not even talk about the disaster risks you get animals when animals are involved in the ceremony. But sometimes it’s refreshing to see that lots of weddings aren’t perfect replicas of a dreamy Pinterest board.  To that end, we’ve compiled a list of 11 must-see wedding disasters that hopefully prove the old  “the worse the wedding, better the marriage” idiom still stands.
