Thanks to high tension, higher expectations, and crazy family antics, weddings can really bring the drama —and that drama makes for some serious laughs on social media.
On February 10, Jimmy Fallon challenged his followers to share their funniest and most cringe-worthy wedding stories.
‘It’s Hashtags time! Tell us about a weird or embarrassing wedding story, and tag it with #WeddingFail. Could be on the show!‘ he wrote.
Fans obliged, chiming in with stories of Big Day mishaps, awkward moments, and nuptials that didn’t go according to plan.
Though each of the stories describes a day that wasn’t ‘perfect,’ it seems that at least everyone involved had a sense of humor — or at least, years later, can look back and laugh.
