Today, my fiancé said "Rachel" instead of my name when asked to repeat, "I take thee, Emily, to be my lawfully wedded wife." I was shocked, so he explained while laughing that he doesn't even know a Rachel. He ruined our wedding for a Friends quote. FML

Hey guys, I'm the OP. To clear a few things up, he didn't exactly ruin the wedding. He and I have always been able to joke back and forth, and quoting shows in fitting situations is almost like a contest to us, to see who can quote a show or movie that matches the situation the fastest and the best. Before the wedding, I was winning at this game, and he saw our wedding as the PERFECT opportunity to take the lead. This wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't visibly shaking and feeling like I was about the puke throughout the whole ceremony. Don't get me wrong, I love him with all my heart and knew it was the right decision to marry him, but I was still a bundle of nerves. So when he said "Rachel," I immediately burst into tears, because my immediate thought was he was either cheating on me or in love with someone else (I knew the Friends quote, but when you're that invested in what's happening around you, your first thought isn't exactly going to be Ross Geller). So I guess I technically ruined the wedding a little more than him with my horrible sobbing that wouldn't stop even after I had forgiven him... After I calmed down, we went through with the rest of the ceremony. No slaps across the face, no leaving at the altar. We've been together since 8th grade, so I wasn't about to leave him after over 12 years of nothing but love and care.

Glad you were able to provide some context, OP, since that 300-character limit leaves so much room for (mis)interpretation! It sounds like you've got a good attitude about all this and will be able to laugh at it when you tell the story later. Congratulations!

This is from friends holy crap people

I understand how it could upset a women on her wedding day. I love friends anyway. But some women want one day to be perfect even if they have a million more to have with that person.

Nope. Your husband is the one who messed up your wedding by purposely being inappropriate. No amount of you taking the blame will change that. If he's the one who convinced you that you were the problem for thinking he mixed up your name with his mistress or other girlfriend, then he's an extra jerk.

I wish my husband woulda done that at our wedding! Hilarious!

Still love this. My names Lindsay but I kinda wish it was Emily just so this could happen to me. Awesome memory

I'm sorry but I just find that absolutely ******* hilarious although at the time it wouldn't have been too funny

He didn't ruin it at all! possibly the best time for a Friends reference, well done to the husband.
