Today, I took part in a bouquet toss. The "single ladies" consisted of myself and several girls under the age of ten. I'm 31. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at my aunt's wedding, the time for the tossing of the bouquet came and the announcer asked for all the single ladies to gather behind the bride. I was the only one. FML
Today, I went to my friend's beautiful wedding. The only other single girl there was 5 years old. She caught the bouquet. FML
Today, I attended my best friend's wedding. Instead of throwing her bouquet, she turned around and handed it to me. I was the only single lady out of 150 guests. FML
Today, I was at a wedding, and during the bouquet toss, I stood back and let the single ladies have their moment. The bouquet flew straight at me, hit me in the face, and I instinctively grabbed it. Now everyone thinks I’m desperate to get married. FML
Today, during the garter toss at a wedding, all the eligible men yelped and scrambled, evading it like a falling meteor. They apparently wanted to stay single, rather than put it on and dance with the one who caught the bouquet, which was me. FML
Today, at a wedding reception, I accidentally caught the bouquet. I got cussed out by the women who were fighting over it for being uninvited and party crashing. I'm a busgirl and the bouquet only landed on the tray I was holding. FML
Today, at my cousin's wedding, there was a bouquet toss. I jumped to catch it, only to get knocked down and crushed by a woman twice my size who'd jumped backwards. It still feels like someone shattered my ribs with a sledgehammer. FML
Today, my sister and her new husband invited our family and my fiancé over to look at their wedding pictures. Turns out, I caught the bouquet and flashed the world in the process. FML
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 sister's wedding, she and I had a plan that she would purposely throw the bouquet to my girlfriend, then I would propose in front of everyone. When the bouquet landed in my girlfriend's lap, she screamed, "Ew, no way" and threw it to someone else. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At 10 I was taller than my mom and half the women in my family. It's possible.

Well hopefully you're the one who caught the bouquet!

It's better than a 10-year-old being the next one to get married...

Depends on the country. "I failed to catch the bouquet... Now my cousin will be a child bride. FML." Too dark?

I agree with you. but there's also that point where you are tired of being single and you want to find somebody....... yet again she is only saying that she participated and not that she's feeling lonely :|

Being single and alone forever isn't a fun thing either.

I also agree with you. And like other commenters have said, being single and alone may not be very fun at times, but that shouldn't mean that we become so desperate for a relationship that we are willing to settle for less than we deserve.

you can be single and still have fun ;)

I agree with what the others are saying. Being single sucks sometimes (says the single 29yr old) and sometimes you know yourself too well. Being single can really suck, but on the flip side you shouldn't just settle either.

So you were probably the tallest and was able to catch it

militarybrat 21
Not entirely true. Ive met some super tall 10-12 yr olds

Okay. Not going to lie that sucks. But it's still not over for you. My mum got married at age 37.

It is encouraging to hear success stores of women who were able to have kids at a later age! Thanks for sharing darling! :)

I saw "My mum got married at age 37." Not "My mum started having children at age 37." Who says you have kids once you're married?
ohjoy15 33
@#31 "My mum"= my mother = I am her child. She had me after she got married. For religious and moral reasons and what not. (:

one of my teachers got married at 45 and is so glad that she waited because she found the right person. age is not the most important thing, finding someone you're happy with is.

21, my aunt didn't have her second kid till she was 39.

Well… there's nothing wrong with being single. Don't be too hard on yourself.

You caught them flowers right?

Good, it's easier RKO a few of ten year olds than people your age. Advantage you.
