1) When your best man is actually the worst man.

Wrong choices are essential so that we can learn from our mistakes. But some situations, -like a wedding for example- are non-repeatable and hence, more important by nature. Apparently, this couple chose the world's clumsiest "best man" to help conduct the ceremony. And guess what? It didn't go well. Not only did the best man fall on the bride but also pushed her and the priest off an artificial cliff to a pool. Very very ungraceful.
It is safe to assume that the wedding was postponed.... indefinitely(?).

2) Husband: -Nothing is going to separate us from love.     Wave: -Whoosh...

Imagine trying to take a picture of a moment that you want to cherish forever and, instead, getting engulfed by a giant body of water. The choice of place you will take your wedding's commemorative photos at is not as important as your life. Weddings and wedding photography in near proximity to bodies of water are a recipe for disaster.

3) Tooth malfunction.

Pro tip: If you are wearing a toothbrush, apply some glue before the ceremony. I love how the groom cracks a smile and turns a blind eye. This must be true love after 40s.

4) Thank god they don't fly.

Having children as paranymphs is already dangerous enough for your wedding. Why bring penguins? A wise old man from a land far far away used to say: "Change the circumstances that your actions can affect to your own benefit."  How does this saying apply to this situation?  It is the exact opposite of what you should do!

5) The wind of change.

Situations are dictated by chance. But sometimes chance can be a hilarious thing. Especially when it decides your role in a wedding. The .gif in question shows a groom transforming into a bride thanks to a majestically rhythmical gust of wind that takes the veil off the bride and places it onto the groom's head. Brilliant, lighthearted instance caught on camera!

6) Nobody Else is Getting Married.

This is the best tactic when you don't want anybody to steal your thunder on your special day. No one is allowed to get married after you. Prove that by throwing the flower bouquet on a rooftop like the lady in question!

7) Thankfully he brought the Underwater Camera.

"-Honey, remember the photographer we booked for our wedding?  -Yes, love. Too bad he drowned in that random pool that was in the church we married at. R.I.P."
First of all why is there a fountain in a church to begin with? The choice of venue was begging for something like this to happen. Once more the equation is proven correct: Wedding + Body of Water = Disaster.

8) Loveboat Disaster.

When you want to embark on the journey of life with the person you love, you don't have to board a literal love boat. If you do, and especially if you hang it from a ceiling there are two possible outcomes. Either everything falls apart and you both tumble to your demise (see .gif below), or the whole ceiling breaks and chaos ensues. Usually, extravagant ideas tend to be costly on important days (and weddings especially), so if you want to do something grandiose without an ounce of thinking beforehand, don't!

9) Eye-popping champagne.

This one has happened to all of us in one way or another. Champagnes tend to be tricky when it comes to opening them, especially if you are not well-trained on the subject. As we see, this groom was not, and he almost poked his eye out and wasted a jolly good bottle of champagne to boot. The bride in the background seemed a bit spooked by the spectacle as well, maybe even wondering if she made the right choice to marry the champaign connoisseur that day.

10) Ring? What ring?

This image pains me the most of all because it is the hardest one to watch.  The wedding ring is the symbol of everlasting bonding between two individuals... and the best man actually drops it in a lake...

Yes, I know, I told you....water did it again. I know it is romantic and all that stuff, but one wrong move and the ceremony is going to become a .gif for future generations to laugh at. I remain a firm advocate of weddings on solid, flat land.

Carefully observe the way they all freeze and the bride's facepalms. The pain is real. Once again, the wedding was postponed.

11) Today's priorities.

Wow. This one portrays cellphone addiction to the next level. Imagine how special this day is for the bride that she decides to tweet instead of living the moment with her husband! Not at all special we can assume!
The wedding is something sacred and should be treated as such. Look at the poor husband's troubled facial expressions. It is a mix of awkwardness and sadness with a hint of pity for the hypnotised bride.

12) You wanted the rings? There ya go.

I advocated against using paranymphs for weddings on wedding fail no 4), no matter how cute they look. The reason is simple. Children are unpredictable. Entrusting your wedding rings to a child is like entrusting your husband to buy you the right diamond earrings. Most likely, something is going to go wrong! Best case scenario you could lose your wedding rings, worst case scenario a child could swallow them! From both a logic and a health and safety perspective, appointing a child with such an enormous responsibility is unreasonable, to say the least! Proof? The .gif below says it all.

Honourable Mention: The Troll Wife

This one is actually a Win and not a Fail or Mishap. This cunning wife created a mechanical flower bouquet to troll her friends and bridesmaids! This contraption is made from a bouquet of flowers, a rope, and a mechanism that retracts the rope with the press of a button! Ingenious! Look at her maniacal laughter after she succeeds in tricking everyone!

From losing the wedding rings and almost drowning to cell phone addiction and falling off artificial cliffs this top 12 has it all.

To sum up, the guidelines for a successful wedding are simple:

• No water
• No clumsy best men or photographers
• No children or animals.
