My Wedding Night STUNK!

5 November 2009 3 views 38 Comments

MamaKat asked me to tell you about my most humorous wedding experience. I can’t believe I’m about to blog about my wedding night. And I’m not sure how to put this delicately. Let’s just say we laughed about it that night and we continue to laugh about it 14 years later.

Here’s how it happened:

We got married.

We took lots of pictures.

We met our friends and family at a big reception at the church. There was tons of good food. And more pictures. And lots of hand-shaking and hugging near-strangers.

We didn’t have time to eat that good food.

We changed into “travel clothes” and drove off to our honeymoon with a large gift basket full of the bounties of the reception:

Wedding cake
Cocktail meatballs
Mints
Pistachios

We ate and ate. It had been a long day.

And sometime in the middle of the night, we both noticed some uncomfortable rumblings. Certainly not the kinds of things you want to feel or hear on your honeymoon.

We could have both been horrified by the sounds and smells. But instead we laughed and laughed. What a way to break us into the realities of marriage.

Our wedding night stunk. Like gas-mask stink.

It was totally and completely disgusting, but it made us remember that we would loved each other. Through thick and thin and stinky gas. The awkwardness and the nerves were gone, and we laughed.

We’re still laughing. Life isn’t always funny, but we’re still laughing.

    How funny, you guys look adorable! We ate at Subway all dressed up! I was afraid to eat anything to spicy on purpose so I wouldn't have an upset stomach!

    The meatballs and nuts weren't spicy. Neither of us thought twice
    about eating a bunch of gas-making foods! LOL!!

    I'm sure he'll LOVE the fact that I posted that picture. And the
    story. BTW-the picture was taken long before any meatballs or
    pistachios crossed our lips. I just thought it was a perfect fit for
    the story. You know-rather than a picture of me in lingere or
    something….

    Great news! Thanks for letting me know! I've been wondering how things
    are working out with the feed. I actually subscribed to myself to see
    if I would get updates. :)

    PS-I'm not necessarily going to TELL him that I posted this story. I
    think I'll just be quiet about that. Haha!

    How hilarious! You and your husband must really have created a bond that night… oh vey!!!

    By the way, since this is my first time stopping by, I had to comment on what a beautiful family you have. That photo of you, your husband, and children walking through a field is just to die for!

    Thank you for the compliment! The photo is now a year old, but I think
    it will remain a favorite for a long, long time. And, yes, we
    certainly bonded in a different way than either of us were expecting
    that night! LOL!

    Really? Ken? And you didn't say that I looked like Barbie?! Should I
    be offended? Haha!

    Usually, he is mistaken for Hugh Grant. And it bugs him to death.
    Actually, now that he keeps his hair short, nobody says Hugh Grant
    anymore, come to think of it.

    You are the first person to mention my terribly out of style puffy
    early 90s sleeves! THANK YOU!

    I LOVED my dress when I bought it, but I bought it in 1993 and didn't
    get married til 1995. I was already over it by the time I got married.
    Oh well. I only wore it once, right?

    Sleeves like that beg to be mentioned : )
    I thought puffy sleeves were SO cool when I was a little girl!
    I could NOT wait until I could have a puffy sleeve dress!
    Isn't that funny? : )
