Today, my sister got married. It was also the day that I was supposed to deliver a heartfelt toast to the happy couple. I got so nervous that I kept stuttering and finally ended with "Congrats Beth and Steve!" Her husband's name is Eric. Her ex was named Steve. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I had to give a speech at my sister’s wedding. I spent weeks preparing every word. When it was finally my turn, I stood up to the microphone and froze. Instead of something like, "Congratulations, I’m so happy for you both," I mixed up whatever jokes I'd prepared in my brain, and blurted out, “I’m in love with your husband.” FML
Today, I was at my sister's wedding reception. My boyfriend of three years decided to give a toast to the happy couple. He was drunk and confessed his undying love to my sister. FML
Today, I was the best man at my longtime friend’s wedding. I got so into talking about our shared memories over the years that I accidentally called his bride by his ex-girlfriend’s name at the end of my toast. FML
Today, my ex husband is marrying my sister. FML
Today, was my wedding day and I had been preparing my speech for my husband for about 3 months. At the wedding, I poured my heart out to him. Did he do the same? My husband forgot about it and right before the wedding, took his from his first marriage and changed the name. FML
Today, it was my wedding day. When my soon-to-be-husband was saying his vows, he didn't say my name. He said his mother's. FML

Today, it was my wedding day. I gave a speech about the first time my wife and I met. I said I knew she was the perfect woman for me and it was love at first sight. I looked to my right as she stormed off and then realized I had told a story about my ex-girlfriend who was sitting in the crowd. FML

I'm so on the fence on this one. Yes, it sucks you got nervous and stuttered, but you could have easily written it down in cue cards. Disaster could have been avoided.

I lurve how your profile says you pole dance but are not a stripper, yet you find it nessacary to have a picture with you in your undies on a pole. :) your amusing tiny dancer. Very amusing.

Those are pole shorts, different then underwear for sure. They're basically spandex shorts in the shape of brief underwear so that you can grip the pole more easily as most sits and "still" tricks require the body to be held up by the inner thighs. I'm showcasing my work in my profile picture, as this elbow stand is extremely hard to hold for extended amounts of time (ie for a group of photographers to take multiple pictures, which was the case).

Because the fml community cares that you can hold a pose? ... Wait, I guess a portion of commenters do, but not for the fact that the trick is difficult to do.

100 - Yikes, no need to get so rude because I'm proud of an accomplishment I've achieved. Geeze...

Well to each their own. Congratulations on your tricky accomplishment, I wasn't trying to attack you. I really do just find it rather amusing.

120 - At first I wasn't sure if it was sarcasm or not (good old internet/technology), but I understand. It's more so #100 being a total ass.

Yeah, I might be "a total ass" in your opinion, I just think it's a little sketch/risque to have a half naked picture of yourself on a pole on a forum. My apologies, hopefully your "promotional" picture is doing the trick! ;)

Beth/Sister: "What the hell!?" Eric: "Honey, who is Steve?" Beth/Sister: "Uhhh... Just an old friend" Eric: "Oh okay.." *awkward silence* Eric: "So was Steve... HOT?" Beth: "BABY!!! We are at OUR WEDDING" Eric: "I know.... I'm just curious" Beth: "Baby... Just no... We can talk about this later" Eric: "......" Beth: " OKAY! So maybe he was a LITTLE hot but then i met you baby!!!!" Eric: *looks thoughtfully in the distance* Eric: "Who is the hotter one out of the two of us?" Beth: "You, Baby" Eric: "I DONT BELIEVE YOU!!"

They will forgive you. I promise. I know this because, when I got married 1st time, my guy had his Best Man from his 2nd wedding be his Best Man for our wedding too... The poor guy toasted us with: Congratulations Rick and Bette-Jean... ... ... ... ... My name is Becca or Becky or Rebecca... ... NOT Bette-Jean... I was mad for 1 day and teased him for weeks... But I got over it quick. So, all will be fine. Just apologize to your new bro in law. He will forgive you. It will be something they will make fun of you over, for awhile... But they will forgive you. Honest mistakes happen.

In all fairness, if you were his third wife, I can see how the names would start to run together. Most parents with three kids get their names mixed up at some point.

Poor Eric...

Maybe Steve deserves to be congratulated for not being in poor Eric's shoes.
