Things I Can't Say

Tips and Tales from an Introverted Mom

Don’t Snot on Me

I’m sharing a silly and happy memory from my wedding day. It’s a story that I promised you all a while back. I know, you probably don’t remember me promising you this, but I did and so I’m sharing it today.

*****

Hubs used to be the more emotional of the two of us. Now, I cry all the time, at every damn thing, but back when we were first together, it was all him.

As soon as I started walking down the aisle, Hubs started tearing up.

He was mouthing “I love you” and trying not to cry.

Me, I was thinking “Don’t trip, don’t trip, don’t trip.”

His crying continued through our ceremony. I was laughing at him and wiping his tears away. Which he told me to stop doing because then people would know he was crying. Sorry, Hubs, everyone knew it anyway!

At one point, we were kneeling down across from each other, at the prayer bench, holding hands, with the pastor’s hand on top of ours.

All the crying caught up to Hubs at this point and he starts snotting.

Big time.

LONG snot string hanging out of his nose and he can’t wipe it away because the pastor’s hand is on top of our hands.

When I say long, I mean that it was hanging out of his nose and practically touching the pastor’s hand.

So, Hubs starts moving his head a little, swinging the snot back and forth.
I’m cracking up laughing at this point, though my back is to most of the church, so most people the ones who don’t know me at all, think that I’m crying because I’m shaking THAT hard.  But, those who knew me, knew better and knew I was laughing.

I’m also hissing, “Don’t you dare get that snot on my beautiful dress.”

We still have no idea what the pastor said during that prayer. Even when we watch the video, we’re too busy laughing at the snot- which you can clearly see, since the video is zoomed in on us and the snot stands out against the background of the pastor’s black robe.

I only wish that I could get my hands on that video so that I could show you. Maybe when I dig it out of whatever box we tossed it into when we moved five months ago recently, I will post it.

When I think about our wedding ceremony, it’s what I remember the most: the SNOT.

Aren’t I a romantic?

  26. Okay…this is a case where it is truly a funny story…but overshadowed by its grossness. Seriously! GROSS.

  27. That is a fantastically awesome wedding ceremony memory! And, I'm sure you'll never let him live it down.

  28. Thats too funny!!! I was praying for something stupid like that to happen at my wedding to lighten the mood because I was sooo nervous! I screwed up my vows and made everyone laugh so that helped!!
    Hope you can find the video!

  29. Ok–so I was the one with the runny nose at my wedding–I actually asked Rocket for a tissue (which he had–bc he was afraid he would tear up!) I dont think he was expecting me to wipe my nose –when I then gave it back to him to put in his pocket!!!

  31. Ewwwww snot! That is hilarious! Both my hubby and I cried like big ol babies…all our wedding pictures look like bloated blubbering babies!

    Super funny story!

    Does your husband read your blog??? You might be in bigggg trouble!!

  45. I love that picture though. It is so romantic. How sweet that he cried….sigh. I don't think my husband has tear ducts.

    I linked to your blog today!

  46. too funny!!!!

    Our pastor called Jason "James."

    "Ashley and James."
    and that was RIGHT before they said "you may now kiss your bride."

    jason leans in and says, "i didn't know james was gonna be here," right before he kissed me and i spit (on accident) from laughing so hard as leaning in to kiss him…. every wedding wouldn't be complete without these stories….

    that is just too funny!!!

  47. HAHA, that is too funny! I'm sure not too many people have that memory of their wedding day! It's the silly stories that make it special.

  49. You are awesome. We laughed during our 'ceremony' if you can call it that (JOP) too because we couldn't tell if the person marrying us was a man or woman LOL

  50. Haha that's a great wedding story. Not what I was expecting. Kind of cute that he was that emotional over getting married.

  53. That is hysterical-you gave me a good laugh!
    When my daughter #1 got married she cried thru a kleenix at the alter, then handed the drenched mess to her maid of honor-daughter #2 who passed it down to daughter #3…who didn't know what the heck to do with it! The whole congregation laughed:)

  56. Oh my gosh! You had me laughing so hard at this!! Your poor hubby! I bet he was so embarrassed!! This is too funny!! 🙂

  59. That is both disgusting and hilarious, LOVE IT! And I so needed that laugh! 😀

  60. I totally love this! You have to find that video. You could EASILY win the $10 K on america's funniest home videos!

  61. I think this is the funniest wedding story I have ever heard! I was laughing so hard while I read it. I would LOVE to see the video.

  62. Omg, that's hilarious! However, snot is one thing that totally grosses me out…I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit!

  64. Lmao!! I LOVE it!! That's seriously hysterical–you know I would have laughed so, so hard!

  68. No one ever thinks of bodily functions when thinking about weddings. That is one fantastic story.

    I'm sure I'll have some major nervous poo during mine.

  72. I used to work in the Bridal Industry, and I've heard tons of wedding stories. This one, by far, takes the cake! hahaha.

  78. And the pastor didn't notice he was about to be snotted on his hand? You think we would have noticed a disaster happening in slow motion.

  79. Happy Anniversary! That's so sweet (in a gross sort of way:)

    I laughed during our ceremony too – My hubby said he took me to be his BEDDED wife!
