Today, I got married. I'm Jewish, and it's traditional to break a glass cup by stepping on it after giving the bride her ring. My brother thought it would be funny to replace the glass cup with a rubber one. I slipped and fell flat on my back. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at a friend's wedding and caught the bouquet. Everyone cheered, until I slipped on the flowers and fell flat on my back. FML
Today, at my wedding, when my husband heard, "You may now kiss the bride!" he swung me down romantically and was about to plant one on me when his arm slipped, causing me to fall on the floor hitting my head, and getting a concussion. FML
Today, at my wedding, my brother decided it would be funny to trip me as I was walking down the aisle, in front of hundreds of people. FML
Today, it's my wedding day. I broke a toe on the couch while turning on the lights in the hotel room. FML
Today, on my wedding day, when they said, "You may kiss the bride", I swung my wife over in the romantic fashion and went in for the kiss. Unfortunately, my hands were sweaty as I was nervous, and she slipped under my grip. She fell and was knocked unconscious in front of hundreds of people. FML
Today, I was at a baby shower with my wife. I went to go outside for some fresh air, but walked straight into their glass sliding door. Everyone stared at me. I smiled with embarrassment and walked back over to my wife, only to trip over my own feet and faceplant the floor. FML
Today, I was the ring bearer at a wedding, something I'd been nervous about being ever since the groom asked me. As I was walking down the aisle, I tripped over nothing and the ring flew from the little silk pillow and rolled into a nearby pond. FML
Today, I was the maid of honor at my sister's wedding. I was the first one to walk down the aisle, where I managed to trip over a wire, shutting off the music and falling on my face. My family cheered and took pictures. FML
Today, I was at a friend’s wedding, and when it came time to make a toast, I tried to stand up to make a speech. My suit jacket got caught on the chair, and I ended up falling flat on my back. The speech was drowned out by everyone laughing. FML
Today, it was my wedding day, and while I was standing next to my husband in front of all of our guests, I was rocking on my heels because I was nervous. I rocked too far and fell backward. My husband didn't come to help me up. He just said at the top of his lungs, "FAIL!" FML

Nah he'll be fine. All he's gotta do is make sure he's on top so he's not on his own painful, sore back!

If you don't break the glass on the first stomp, your marriage is doomed to fail. Otherwise, it's 50/50. Oy, gevalt!

So if the cup didn't break, would they still yell "OPAAA!!" anyway?
perdix 31
No, that's Greek. The crowd would say "Mazel Tov" as you kept stomping on the glass as if it were a wily cockroach.

Oh yea, forgot the movie was my big fat *GREEK* wedding. Well now I look like a complete idiot, so... OPAA!!!

Aw, don't worry, people reading this won't think you're an idiot. They'll think you're a schmuck, a nar, a schlimiel, a bulvan, a schmendrick, or a putz.

Definitely a moment you'll remember, but in years to come this will be a funny story that you'll enjoy telling people :-)

I hope it didnt hurt too much. But hey, people won't forget your wedding and it's a nice story to tell your future children :)

I've heard they now use light bulbs because they make a louder pop noise and are easier to break.(:

Oy, your brother is such a joker. I'll bet he put a whoopee cushion on the bride's seat at the head table.

A hot honeymoon will straighten out that back.

There are many explanations of the origin of that tradition. My favourite is that your marriage should last as long as it takes to put the glass back together. If that's the case, I'd consult a divorce lawyer immediately.
