In continuing the vein of light self-mockery (I have a lively sense of the ridiculous), I thought I would bring you a choice selection from my album of wedding bloopers.
Yes, I have an entire album.
I know you won’t think it from some of the pictures, but I was deliriously happy on my wedding day, and I was a very low-maintenance bride, if I do say so myself.
(Except, perhaps, for asking my bridesmaids to wear patent leather shoes when any ole black shoe would have done nicely, but then we all learn from our mistakes).
The pictures are numbered in order for you to leave captions for each one (or just for the ones that inspire you) in the comments. The picture corresponds to the number above it, not below.
It’s been awhile since I’ve had a giveaway from La Maison du Chocolat, but I will give a box of truffles or glazed chestnuts to whichever winner is in a participating country.
One entry for leaving a comment with ideas for a caption. And one extra entry if you leave a comment with a link to your own wedding blooper(s) picture. The contest ends Wednesday evening my time. See? That’s not so hard!
Ready, Set, Go!

Whether I’m sucking the lipstick off my teeth or yanking up my sagging bodice, my French in-laws were left in no doubt of their son having chosen an American wife of unparalleled charm.
#4 – “So you’re my husband’s ex-girlfriend. So nice to meet you.” Do you see me really trying to smile through my gritted teeth.
You are SO expressive, I love it!
#3 – See, you can only see the whites of my eyes, it’s my party trick, French people!
(PS: My sister can do the same thing with her eyes, it’s freaky)
#8 – Boooobs, people, booooobs.
#9 – Oh dear God, someone left their fascinator on my wedding cake!
for #9:
“She’s got huge… tracts o’ land!” Monty Python fan… 🙂
First of all… you are gorgeous!
But number #*8
“Steelllaaa” (ala Rocky) he he he
love these pics! i’ve got nothing creative today, but i’m enjoying reading the other responses! xoxo
Oh, I was laughing out loud.
What pulled it all together was your comment. The french in laws (who no doubt use cubed sugar while we use the loose granular kid cuz PILE IT ON) and their french son marrying into the woman who keeps a JAR of loose sugar only a reach away.
OH JENNIE THIS WAS WONDERFUL.
#5 If one more old man with bad breath kisses me I am going to puke! (do they kiss you on the cheek in French receiving lines???) Fun pictures, love everyone’s suggested titles!
No idea how to link my own wedding bloopers… but video of my flower girl niece screaming “I have a wedgie!!!” in hysterics during a quiet part of the ceremony as my brother carted her out under his arm is one that always makes us laugh!
Bloopers and all you were a beautiful bride!
Hilarious! Number 3 is the best. Zombie bride, anyone? 🙂
I’m not good at captions, but this post made me smile and laugh after a stressed-feeling day; thank you!
I’m not a great captioner, but first of all, your bloopers are still gorgeous!
#2 – Bwahahahah. He is mine. Now he shall see the real me! (cut to photo #3 – Zombie Bride!)
#3 is my favorite!! Bride of the living dead!
“I married him for his brains!”
Very interesting captions 🙂 Can’t think of anything creative to say except you were very full of happy (mostly) expressions, bloopers or not. :p
Ohh… My sides hurt. Self depreciating humour is my favorite. Thanks for the giggles Lady J. I think you’ve started a trend. Wedding Blooper pics are soooo hilarious. Better than video bloopers by far.
HA! LOVE the comments left by everyone . . . So funny! sorry to miss it, but I think you look wonderfully authentic and true to your wonderful spirit!! LOVE IT!
It’s clear you’re just practicing your French vowels!
