I was at the wedding of my wife's best friend. She had been a single mom for years. Her 7 yr old daughter took the mic and sang a song that she said was for her mom and her new dad. It was very touching.
Too bad the marriage only lasted a year and the guy turned out to be just another asshole.
Oh, and then there was my own wedding where I mispronounced my wife's name.
I know, I know, but hey, it wasn't my fault. The pastor mispronounced it and I was just repeating what he said. Luckily, it was in a chapel in Las Vegas and nobody else was there to laugh. Been married 11 years now.

You kidding? I was a caterer for 10 years...I've seen it all. Probably the most memorable was the couple that paid a special cake person to fly in from California, and the lady spent 3 hours setting up this SPECTACULAR wedding cake: it had 15 individual cakes joined by lines with water dropplets flowing over them into little pools, mini spotlights with reflecting mirrors, edible gold foil accents, 6 ft tall with multiple levels...it was amazing! Even more amazing was the fact that a lady with this much talent set up a cake like that in a hall where the air conditioning wasn't turned on yet. She set it up 4 hours before people got there, it was 90F outside....and when they all came in, the frosting had melted, causing the cake to collapse all over the floor in a big expensive heap. Wow...that looked like $4G's down the tubes.
I've seen biker weddings where everyone's wearing leather chaps (and the bride had "cheekless" ones), gay "couplings", getting married in hot air balloons, getting married in chicken and duck costumes...you name it.

I was at a friend's wedding and at the reception he sang a Depeche Mode song to his new wife. I don't recall which song it was, but Depeche Mode has never done a song that wasn't depressing. I think my friend was the only person in the place who thought the song was a love song. Oh, and he can't sing a lick either.
Last wedding I was at, the bride was from Russia and could speak about ten words of English. They had an interpreter and the whole ceremony was done in English AND Russian. We couldn't even congratulate her afterwards since she didn't understand us. But I did have someone teach me how to say a nonsense phrase in Russian. (I think it was "I buttered my ears three times." So I said that to her with a huge smile and shook her hand vigorously, as though it was what everyone said to a new bride. Priceless look of confoundment.
Another time the bride insisted that her yappy dog fill the role of ring bearer. She had to go to about a dozen different churches before she found one that would allow her dog to be in the ceremony. And of course, when it was showtime the dog wouldn't perform and an actual human had to carry the rings to the front.
And another time I watched the bride burst into tears upon entering the reception because the bowties of the waiters didn't match the napkins perfectly, or some such nonsense. She had orchestrated the entire thing to such a complex level it wasn't humanly possible for everything to go perfectly. But I didn't figure she'd freak out about it.

my mother-in-law screwed up her speech, she was supposed to say "my wife first name" and "my first name" but she said "my wife name" and "my wife's brother name" instead. haha I guess she has been saying both of their names together for so long, and kinda got used to it. She was the kind that is really picky about everything and wanted nothing to go wrong in the wedding, but ended up, she was the only one that screw up.

There a traditional part of the reception where the bride and groom are introduced as man and wife in public for the first time. They walk through the doors, go into their first dance and all the flashbulbs go off as everyone captures the moment for posterity. A friend and his wife walked in wearing gorilla masks.
Another friend got married in a traditional Greek ceremony, which is very long and ornate. It was about 95 degrees that day and the church wasn't air conditioned. With a few hundred candles around the altar it had to have been about 120 up there, no breeze, no chairs, no relief at all. 3 people fainted during the cermony including the groom. All were revived and the wedding was completed.
A church where my cousin got married would not allow rice or confetti as the bride and groom left. Everyone used those kids bubble wands and lots of people had water pistols.
If I ever am dumb enough to get married, I intend to pull out a Magic 8 Ball and use it on the part "Do you take this woman...". I'll answer "Replay hazy, ask again later"
