I was to be Maid of Honor at my favorite cousins wedding and her parents had this long gorgeous staircase she was to walk down to the alter set up in their home for the ceremony.

Music starts, we all came down the stairs, me and 7 bridesmaids, then she began her walk down. About half way down she tripped or slipped and tumbled head over heels down the entire staircase. OMG, she was devastated and had broken her shoulder. What a way to start a marriage. Never did get married until about 6 weeks later, went to the Justice of the Piece in the court house. We DO NOT laugh about that even today.

You're right JJ about bad omens. The day I was to marry #3, the worthless one, I couldn't fine my car keys for over an hour, we were late to the chapel and had to wait for nearly three hours because we missed our spot. Hummm, should have known!
