When it comes to planning your Anna Maria Island (Florida) wedding, it's best to learn from the experiences of others. This will enable you to divert a wedding day disaster and avoid your own wedding day celebration horror stories.

Pregnant Ex Girlfriend Brings Wedding Party to an End!
The Wedding Day Horror Story of them all...

"My Friend and I went to a wedding a couple of years ago, it was my friends ex-boyfriend's wedding.

So we are sitting in church, and looking at all the people sitting there. We went through the whole ceremony, then the priest asks if there is anyone that does not agree with this marriage, then stand up or forever hold your peace.

So my friend gets up and says "I don't agree, I am pregnant and he is refusing to raise my child", I was ready to go for the ground to split open and eat me alive. The priest and everyone in church just turned and looked at us like we were crazy, then his mom comes over and starts yelling at my friend and screaming and calling her a liar, but when she showed his mom the doctors note that stated that she was pregnant, the bride to be just ran off screaming.

My friend ended up having a miscarriage, the guy did not marry that girl, and life has not been good for my friend ever since. But believe me, I will never go to a friends ex's wedding again."

Double Wow... Sometimes things beyond our control just happen... true, but inviting your pregnant ex girl friend to your wedding... lol.

Now that was really, really dumb!

Perhaps in this case, a private bare foot wedding on an Anna Maria Island Beach would have been a far safer choice than a church full of family and friends... that is ex girl friend!

Wedding and Marriage Superstitions Continued

Wedding Superstitions...

Some examples of Wedding Superstitions are:

• Never choose a redhead as your bridesmaid as she will steal your groom. Likewise, wearing red to a wedding signals disrespect for the bride.
• Saturday is a bad day for getting married as it is ruled by Saturn, an unlucky planet associated with negative energies like jealousy .
• Never buy a wedding dress that was first set aside for a wedding that never actually happened as it is jinxed.
• Always make sure the sun is shining without clouds in the way; the clouds symbolize trouble.
• Before getting married, it is bad luck to buy your significant other a watch, as it symbolizes that the time of the relationship is running out.
• Rose petals are thrown before the bride as she walks down the aisle to ward off the evil spirits that live beneath the ground from coming up at her.
• Bridesmaids should not wash the dishes or they will fall out with the married couple.

True, these types of wedding superstitions may sound pretty "off the wall", but even if you're the kind of person who walks under ladders or laughs when a friend touches wood, you can bet that when it comes to your wedding day, you too will be clutching something old and donning something blue... and thats just for starters.

We guarantee that you wouldn't dream of seeing your fiance on the morning of the wedding, and you will definately expect to be carried across the threshold.

Our next entry to do with Wedding and Marriage Superstitions will discuss where wedding traditions and marriage superstitions come from.

Wedding Day Horror Story

“I attended a horrible wedding once. My cousin was the groom. The wedding was in August and it was extremely hot -- totally unbearable.

At the reception hall the air conditioning wasn't working and there were no windows. None of the toilets in the Ladies' Room were working either. There was only one toilet in the Men’s' Room that did work.

The food served was not what the Bride & Groom had selected. It was only one dish -- beef tenderloin. They didn't even order beef tenderloin. They ordered a chicken dish and a vegetarian dish. Both the Bride & Groom are vegetarians.

The wedding gifts were in a room adjacent to the reception hall, and yup, most were stolen.

Talk about bad luck -- fortunately they are still happily married!”

Wow, when things go bad they can go really, really bad!

I suppose the message here might be to Hire a Wedding Coordinator to Plan Your Wedding Day Celebrations.

Marriage Traditions and Superstitions From Around the World

Wedding Superstitions and Marriage Traditions...

We previously published a rather long article back in September called Wedding Superstitions and Marriage Traditions. We have decided to break that article up into several smaller posts and republish them over the next few days.

Marriage and Wedding Tradition and Superstition

When it comes to Marriage and Weddings, it seems that regardless of your ethnic back ground... almost everyone is superstitious.

Superstitions are based on general, culturally variable beliefs in a supernatural "reality". Depending on a given culture's belief set, its superstitions may relate to things that are not fully understood or known.

In many cultures there are lots of superstitions surround weddings and honeymoons. This is likely due more to the obvious connection that marriage and weddings have to fertility, conception and childbirth than actual luck or love in the marriage.

Our next entry on the topic of Marriage and Wedding Superstitions and Tradition will provide some good examples of wedding superstitions.

Wedding Costs

Who Pays for What at Your Wedding...

Who pays for what wedding expenses is a matter of tradition, however, you have to keep in mind that every wedding is different - and deciding who pays for what can be dependant on each specific wedding.

By tradition, we have created a list of ‘who pay’s for what’.

Please remember that this is not set in stone, and this list was compiled based on wedding customs and traditions only.

Mother-in-law Breaks Arm at Ppol Side Wedding Reception
Just another Wedding Day Horror Story!

"In our case the actual wedding ceremony was great, and everything went smoothly. It was after the wedding my Husband and I asked our wedding guests to meet us at the Reception Hall in about 45 minutes, which gave everyone time to look around the resort and catch up.

During these 45 minutes, we got a phone call that my Mother in Law had fallen near the pool and broken her arm. She was rushed to the Emergency Room and missed the entire reception that she had planned!"

Sometimes things beyond our control just happen. We certainly hope your mother in law healed up well and wasn't hurt too badly.

Perhaps a bare foot wedding ceremony ankle deep in the sands of Anna Maria Island would be a safer choice than a pool side wedding reception.
