So, confession: I'm not really the type that watches Dr. Phil's show. However, when I came across this bit on his website about wedding mishaps, I felt pretty validated in what I've been saying all along. The man must be a genius if he agrees with me: wedding mishaps are not the end of the world! Who knew? Ooo oo oo... I did, I did! :)
I love the advice that he gives the bride who had quite a few (ok...more than a few) mishaps "ruin" her big day, and thus her life:
"And you say this was the most embarrassing time in your life? Let me tell you, you looked absolutely stunning in that wedding. You were absolutely beautiful. You were in a room filled with people who love you. There's nothing embarrassing about that. And when the limo showed up, or whether the music came in on cue, or whatever, it pales in comparison to what really, really is important here. You have nothing to be embarrassed about. I mean, you were surrounded by people who loved you, and this worked. You are married and you are happily married, and I promise you, the day will come when you're able to see this differently and get a kick out of it. I mean, you'll remember."
Amen, Dr. Phil. Amen. :)
Check out the full story here, including the groom's cute reaction to the mishaps, and let's all vow to keep the whole "my wedding is everything" monster mentality in check, eh? :)
