Your wedding day: It’s supposed to be the most magical day of your life. The tension is high, the stakes are high, and when things go wrong they often go spectacularly wrong. With that in mind Jimmy Fallon recently asked his followers to share their funniest or weirdest “Wedding Fails” and his audience responded with a slew of bizarre and hilarious anecdotes.
My friend got married on the beach and wanted to zip line to the altar. He didn’t test before and it turned out he was too heavy for the line. He was dragged through rocks and sand for the last 10 seconds. Ripped the pants off of his tux. #WeddingFail

5. This klutzy couple
Our photographer made us come out early so guests didn’t have to wait. I stepped on the front of my dress 3 steps from bottom. My new husband Tim held onto me until we reached the bottom. He spiraled into the crowd and ripped his pants. My dress was in perfect shape.#WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/IPRq6MSgoi

8. This navigation miscommunication
@jimmyfallon #weddingfail At my first wedding the limo picked me up and drove me to the WRONG wedding..went right by my exit on the highway. I should have known then that it wasn’t meant to be!

9. This near calamity
@FallonTonight just got married, and right before the flower girl walked down the aisle, the building next to ours collapsed causing the whole wedding to evacuate. Luckily everyone was safe, but we definitely started our wedding with a BANG! #weddingfail https://t.co/oJtNOdtd3V

10. This hapless driver
Our driver thought it would be nice to drop our guests onto the beach for our ceremony and of course got stuck. I can laugh now but I didn’t then. #weddingfail #bridezilla @jimmyfallon @boredpanda pic.twitter.com/zpVNsujT6T

12. This sweaty pastor
We had two pastors. One was a friend and it was his first wedding. He was so nervous and he was sweating so profusely that the drops of sweat were dripping into his wireless mic. You heard this big PLUNK. PLUNK. He finally shorted it out. @jimmyfallon #WeddingFail

13. This nibbling husband
My husband couldn’t figure out how to take the garter off with his teeth. 10 mins later the DJ started making virgin jokes at our dry wedding 🙄 #weddingfail

16. This horse-drawn disaster
This was my cousins wedding fail. They both fell off my cousin had a black eye, broken wrist and I think a broken rib… her husband had a concussion. This was right after the ceremony. We had them dance and eat Cake before the Ambulance got there. #weddingfail #JimmyFallon pic.twitter.com/6B2tmayVq2

The bride had forgotten she had removed her spanks after a few cocktails, then proceeded to lift her dress while dancing in the party bus and flashed her now step son! That bride was me! #weddingfail

19. This heartthrob
We clipped the mic on my husband’s shirt right next to his (rapidly beating) heart and his heartbeat was broadcast for all to hear the entire ceremony. Didn’t know about it until a year later when family was reminiscing. #weddingfail

20. This awkward silence
My violinist forgot to loop the music, so I walked down the football length aisle with NO MUSIC. #weddingfail
— MazyRose (@MazyRose) June 19, 2019
21. This golf cart gaffe
We were taking pictures when it started to rain. We ran to our golf cart, but I didn’t finish pulling my dress into the cart before my husband hit the gas. The train of my dress was sucked into the wheel well and I ended up on the ground and my dress was ruined #WeddingFail

22. This matrimonial bomb scare
Lovely wedding, met at the reception venue by the state police and bomb sniffing dogs because someone had phoned a bomb threat into my wedding reception. Had to evacuate the all of the guests, in the SNOW, until after 7:00pm when the bomb was supposed to go off! #WeddingFail
— Cheryl (@cheryldubecq) June 18, 2019
23. This gluttonous groomsman
One of our groomsmen is known for partying a little too hard, so there was an ongoing joke that he’d somehow mess up the wedding
He took this seriously and stayed (mostly) sober
During the speeches, he choked on chicken & had to get the heimlich at the head table #weddingfail

24. And Jimmy’s own firsthand experience of a pantsless wedding fail.
My friend got married on the beach and wanted to zip line to the altar. He didn’t test before and it turned out he was too heavy for the line. He was dragged through rocks and sand for the last 10 seconds. Ripped the pants off of his tux. #WeddingFail
