A couple years ago, Pete and I got all dressed up and went to a friend’s wedding.
It was a crazy-fun evening of lovely food, lots of wine and tons of dancing! We hadn’t had a night out without kids in quite a while so it wouldn’t have taken much to thrill us that night… but we both felt like it was one of the best weddings we had ever been to. That was up until a very elderly guest decided to give a random speech after having a wee bit too much alcohol.
The speech was actually a really great speech. We learned how lucky “Andy” (real name changed) was for getting to marry the bride and that the love between “Andy” and the bride was going to last forever, and that they were totally meant to be. We learned all over again how they met and every reason why they had love that was better and stronger than anyone else.
Unfortunately “Andy” was actually the name of the bride’s first husband, the one who had left her for someone else… and that nobody else had ever heard of. The Bride had told everyone that this was not only her first marriage, but her first serious relationship too!
Talk about a hilarious speech and a few very awkward moments!
Thankfully everyone just started laughing and the party kept on going, but it’s one of my favorite wedding speeches EVER! It reminds me a whole lot of the new movie The Wedding Ringer (featuring Kevin Hart, Josh Gad and Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting) because both the movie and what happened at this wedding have lots of laughs and tons of love.
In The Wedding Ringer, Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is a loveable but socially awkward groom-to-be with a problem: he has no best man. With less than two weeks to go until he marries the girl of his dreams (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), Doug is referred to Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), owner and CEO of Best Man, Inc., a company that provides flattering best men for socially challenged guys in need. What ensues is a hilarious wedding charade as they try to pull off the big con, and an unexpected budding bromance between Doug and his fake best man Jimmy.”
I think it is so sweet that Josh’s character wanted everything to be perfect for his bride that he even hired Jimmy Callahan as a professional best man! But can you even imagine the outrageous missions they have to undergo in order to pull off this big lie of Josh Gad having seven groomsmen and inventing his history with each of the men (ringers)? Seriously funny stuff!
The Wedding Ringer is set to release on January 16!
Till then you can make your own The Wedding Ringer Photo Bomb here.
That sounds like it’s going to be a funny movie! I can’t wait to see it.
This is going to be a hilarious movie. I can’t wait to see it.
That’s a funny (and mortifying) story. I’m excited about the movie. I think it’ll be a fun date night movie!
This sounds like it will be a really funny film, I definitely want to try and get to see it 🙂
This is a must on my watch list. It sounds like it is going to be so funny!
Sounds like a hilarious movie! I’ll have to keep an eye for a date night
Ah this looks and sounds like it would be a riot! I can’t wait to see it!
What a funny story. I just saw an ad for this movie and it looks like it would be a fun date night movie with The Hubs!
At one wedding we went to, someone decided to give an Apache blessing. They were not Apache, and had probably never met an Apache in their life, and I don’t think the blessing was in any way authentic. It went on forever!
Looks like a fun story line. I can’t wait to watch it!
What a funny story! Not to the bride and groom, but to us hearing it now! LOL
I’m really excited for this movie. I am hoping that I can see it soon. I love Kevin Hart. He’s hilarious.
That story is hilarious! Movie looks like it will be really funny, too!
This sounds like a great movie – I like watching comedies!
I love comedy, so this definitely looks like a good one to check out!
It has been years since i have been at a wedding. This looks like a hilarious movie. I am excited to go see it with my friends.
LOL sounds like a great movie – one I would so add to my movie bucket list ~
What a funny story. This looks like a really good movie. I can’t wait to go see it.
this movie looks hilarious. Everyone hated my first husband so much that NOBODY came to my wedding reception despite rspving
Sounds like it’s going to be a really fun movie that people are sure to love, got to love that Kevin Hart!
I haven’t even heard of this, but I think it sounds like a great film..
and that speech.. another reason I won’t be having alcohol at my wedding!
To be honest I can see a lot of people liking this movie, just a classic comedy fun to watch and laugh at!
I can not wait to see this movie it looks like it is going to be really good.
This movie looks like a lot of laughs. I don’t know what I would do if someone gave the wrong name during a wedding toast or speech. How embarrassing but funny.
Looks so funny. Sometimes you just need a good laugh!
This sounds fabulous. I will have to see it.
That movie sounds hilarious! But I think the real life wedding speech snafu may be even better!
I’m really looking forward to watching this! I love Kevin Hart and this movie looks funny hahha
Love a good funny wedding speech! This movie sounds hilarious! Maybe it’ll find it’s way into my weekend plans…
This is definitely our type of movie. We love comedies and my husband loves Kevin Hart.
That speech is all kids of awkward!! Ha!
I’m sure this movie is going to be pretty funny!
I will have to check this out. I am not going to lie I am one of those strange people that totally dislikes weddings. My best friend invited me to hers and needless to say she kept tabs on me all night so I couldn’t escape. Good thing they had an open bar. There is no wedding like the ones with sailors because we definitely partied out butts off.
I can’t wait for The Wedding Ringer to hit theaters. I’ve been playing the trailer every day. It’s so hilarious. Josh Gad and Kevin Hart make a great team.
What a hilarious and mortifying story! Thanks for making me laugh today.
Omigosh, I think I would have DIED if I’d been that bride!! Nice to know it went over smoothly after all – can’t say anything crazy like that has ever happened at a wedding that I attended.
Oh my! I would have not been a happy bride! At least it makes a great story!
My own outdoor wedding was delayed due to a severe thunderstorm. Then when I went to put on my gown, the zipper came off the track. My mom had to sew me into my dress. Lastly, now that we were running late, a concert on the next pier over from my venue had started and it happened to be Cyprus Hill. You couldn’t hear my harp and violin over “hits from the bong.” Makes a good story though!
