Today, I hired a professional makeup artist to apply my makeup for a wedding. After paying her $500 for the excellent job she does, and getting dressed, I grabbed the invitation to check out the address, and it said the wedding was on December 2. Today is December 3. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had the wedding from hell. Nope, not a bridezilla, but a makeup artist-zilla who caused the ceremony to begin over an hour and a half late, and then tried to charge the bride for her delays. She then went nuts when confronted with the reality of her poor time management. “Professional” my ass. FML
Today, we gave my in-laws-to-be our wedding invitations. Their first reaction was to assume we needed money and told us they couldn't help pay for the wedding. Their second move was to book hair and make-up for themselves. Congratulations? FML
Today, I was doing a little victory jig after finally sending out the last of the invitation cards for my wedding when I realised that I had forgotten to put the date of the event on them. FML
Today, it was my wedding day. Everything went great, except that no one showed up. Apparently, the address of the invitation was typed wrong. FML
Today, was my wedding day. Right before I walked down the aisle in my gorgeous white dress, the woman who did my makeup saw a blemish. She went to squirt concealer on her finger, but squirted the orange concealer all over my dress. FML
Today, I spent $70 on party supplies for my sister's bachelorette party, another hour decorating, three hours baking and designing a cake, before waiting five hours to hear that she and another bridesmaid had 'moved' the party elsewhere. Cake anyone? FML
Today, I was told by one of my bridesmaids that she can't afford the travel costs to get to my wedding, after telling me that she didn't need me to organize alternate free travel for her. I'm getting married in less than two weeks. FML
Today, I accidentally slept in two hours later than I was supposed to. Today is my wedding day. FML
Today, it is my wedding day. I couldn't find my very expensive wedding dress anywhere. After almost 2 hours of panic and chaos, I found it in my pool, covered in red paint, with a note on one of my lounge chairs reading, "Today is MY wedding day, bitch." FML
Today, my fiancée decided to go on a "vacation." Our wedding is tomorrow. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You spend 500 bucks to look good on the wedding of a (I'm assuming) friend? YDI for trying to out-shine the bride.

#84 where did your response even come from? #11 did not judge at all. They just said it seemed like a lot of money and even added, "if you have the money spend it how you want," showing that they were not judging how the OP spent the money. They just thought it seemed like a large amount. Which seems to be the general thought from looking at the other responses.

I mean if she wanted to look really hot and paid that kind of money for it that's her prerogative. Hope it turned out good..you say it looked awesome. I know whenever I'm looking forward to a specific date I typically know what day of the week it's going to be on. If you put that much effort into looking good you should have known the date and even where you were going..come on now. I'm not sure if it was a Wednesday over there because it is a different time zone. Not sure how that works. I'm sure you probably won't make that mistake again.

Damn, I don't think I'd spend half that much, hell, a QUARTER of that much money getting my makeup done even if I was the freakin BRIDE.

I don't get all of the responses about weddings not being on Wednesdays. It's very common for someone to have a specific date for their wedding regardless of what day of the week it lands on. My wife and I got married on a Tuesday, we chose it because it was the anniversary of my grandparent's marriage and we wanted to somehow include my grandmother (who was dead) and honor the strong union that they had together. I was not going to stay engaged for another 4 to 5 years just so the date would fall on a weekend. Plus the OP is in a country that has a completely different culture and religious following than most of ours. It may be common there, for all we know it may be strange to them that we get married on weekends. So how does the day of the week make this an obvious fake? I understand people being confused by it, but it does not make it fake.

omg. $500 for makeup? i'm sorry, but you deserve every bad thing that ever happens to you in the remainder of your life, ever, just for that. what the crap. imagine all the things you could have done with that $500 that actually would have benefited people other than yourself. i'm guessing the reason no one asked where you were on the 2nd is because no one missed your conceited ass.

What do you do with your money that you spend on lavish things that could have gone to charity? Do you have a TV? Cable? You obviously have a computer.. You don't NEED that. You could have spent that money on a charity. Wow, you're so selfish.

Who cares? Society today is selfish, don't try to tell me its not because you'll just be lying to yourself. If the OP had the money and wanted to spend $500 on make-up that's her issue, and she's entitled to make that decision. I hate hearing people talk about how that money could have gone to help other people. I'd bet $1000 on the fact that you guys would NOT use $500 you had to help others, but instead buy something for yourself. Selfish? Maybe, but that's life. ******* deal with it and shut the hell up already.

I was being sarcastic to the poster above me. I don't care HOW the OP spends her money and I'm actually proud that someone knows what the right makeup and right makeup artist can do for your look and was willing to spend the money on it.

MAKEUP. makeup! i need my computer for my job, i use it every day, and it makes ME money - it's an investment. this woman spent $500 on makeup that she'd wash off in a day. there's a little thing called VALUE that needs to be examined here!! and thanks for playing, assumption queen, but i donate quite a bit of my money. i'm amused by your attempts to dismiss actually having to think about donating and community service, though. "everyone ELSE is selfish...so it must be ok! cool!"
