Wedding Party takes The Plunge!

Let’s take stock of recent events…

OK, there’s the HUGE oil spill that has been spewing for weeks—the full effect of which has yet to be felt. Mixed results for incumbents in the recent primaries. Thailand in chaos. That volcano in Iceland is still causing flight cancellations in Europe. The economy still struggling to get out of recession and joblessness still high.

I need a laugh.

This one is OK since it appears that no one was injured.
Making its way across the web, what was supposed to be a special photo op for a wedding party on the coast turned into a rather damp experience.

While we can only guess at the bride and groom’s reaction to this incident, one thing is certain. It really doesn’t matter how beautiful the ceremony was. No one will recall what the bride wore or how the bridesmaids were gussied up. The vows may have been breathtaking and the food at the reception might have been outstanding.

No, this wedding will forever be defined by what happened on the dock.

Some will no doubt say that this episode is an omen. For some, it may be a test of the newly married couple’s ability to cope with adversity. For others, it may just be a bad omen for the prospects of the marriage itself. The superstitious have already drawn their conclusions—and only time will tell.

My hope is that the newlyweds took it in stride and will be telling the story for decades to come, perhaps with their grandchildren on their knee.

It’s no surprise that many funny wedding moments on video exist—but most of them are in a church at the critical moments. The tension is high, the emotions running rampant. Dropping the ring, the groom passing out, the bride tripping on her train. All of this is understandable. What makes this video stand out is that the ceremony clearly appears to be over—and everyone is relaxed and jovial.

And then all hell breaks loose.

Hope your special day didn’t include anything as…wet. If you have a funny story of your wedding to share—feel free to do so in the comments section here—if you’d like to receive this blog weekdays via e-mail, just let me know: tim.moore@citcomm.com
