Today was my moms wedding and I was the maid of honor! I was so excited to walk down the isle with my mom, but the church was so dry I got a bloody nose 5 minutes before going down. I couldn’t go down the isle or watch my mom go down either. I had to stay in the back and hold my nose up. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, at my mom's wedding, I tripped as I was walking down the aisle. I was holding the train of her dress. It ripped. FML
Today, on the drive to church, I got a nosebleed. Not so bad, until I sneezed and splattered myself and my fiancé with blood, snot, and eventually tears. FML
Today, I went to a wedding with my family. While the maid of honor was giving her non-heartfelt, three sentence speech, my mom and I started talking about how lame her speech was. When I turned around to look at my mom, I saw the camera recording the speech behind her. FML
Today, I sneezed without knowing I had a nosebleed. Despite turning my head, a fine blood spray shot out all over my fiancée’s white dress as we were standing at the altar. She refused to say “I do” because she was so mad. FML
Today, I was at my sister's wedding. Everything was going flawlessly. That is, until our visibly drunk mom started a punch-up over who got to cut the cake first. FML
Today, I was a bridesmaid at my best friend’s wedding. During the ceremony, I felt a sneeze coming on. I tried to stifle it, but when I sneezed, my bouquet flew out of my hands and into the groom’s face. It knocked his glasses off, and everyone was silent until the groom finally said, “Are you implying you oppose our marriage?” FML
Today, it's my wedding day. It was meant to be perfect. The bouquet, along with a high pollen count, set my hay fever off. I walked down the aisle in front of 200 people with streaming eyes and a runny nose; I then had a sneezing fit during my vows and blew a large snot bubble. Real attractive. FML
Today, I’m stuck in a situation. It’s my mom's wedding, but her fiancé had a heart attack and died this morning. Now I’m surrounded by crying people, having to pretend to be upset so no one gets mad at me. I couldn’t care less to be honest, the man was an arsehole who treated mom and me like shit in private. FML
Today, I was the Maid of Honor at my friend's wedding. Months earlier, we had a bitter fight, but she picked out a beautiful dress for me and I thought we were past it. When I began speaking, the lights changed to a weird brightness and my friend snickered. My dress was completely see-through. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

As per my Red Cross First Aid course, when you get a nosebleed, you're supposed to lean your head down to try to get the blood out faster, not hold your nose up & make the process take longer. So you didn't even have to miss your mom's wedding, you just had bad information. You could have at least put your head down to watch. I'm sorry.

I would have just stuffed some tissue balls far enough up my nose so that no one could see them to soak up the blood for 2 min. and breathed through my smile and taken care of the issue the first moment I had the chance to. Sorry about the issue though. That sucks.

Maybe your nose knows something about the guy your mom is getting hitched to? Run away!!!

On a practical note: When I was young I had nose bleeds myself. Nose bleeds can be triggered in people susceptible to them by high blood pressure such as feeling very anxious or upset. And use a tissue instead of picking the nose - Thin skin in the nose with blood vessels close to the surface can be easily caused to bleed. Once the cycle gets started you become more likely have nosebleeds. That was my problem as a kid I am ashamed to admit.

Also if you tilt your head back the blood goes down your throat and can make you choke. Source: regular nosebleeds for the last 20 years, and have been correcting the crappy advice to tilt my head back from day one.

I long for the heady days of yesteryear, when the people that run this site would proof-read the submissions. I miss that.

Wow. Looks like you still had you nose up when you typed this FML... Or maybe your mother really did get married on an island so small you could walk down it before the wedding? In this case, I still have no clue what a dry chruch is :-S

So... you get a nose bleed every time you're bored? Or what does the church bring dry have to do with anything?

If the song has not started yet, I would have asked if the ceremony could be delayed for a few minutes. As the maid of honour at your mother's wedding, I am sure everyone would have been fine with it. If not, you could have used a tampon (if there was one available, cut it to a smaller size) as a temporary substitute (works wonders for a friend who gets nosebleeds easier than the average person). Whatever you do, do not tilt your head back when you have a nosebleed. It will not make it stop and who likes the taste of blood? When I am desperate to stop one, either because I am in a hurry or down with it, I sometimes blow it out. It is messy, but it does speed up the stopping process.

Yeah that's what I came here to say: The ceremony should have been delayed to wait for OP! I get a lot of nosebleeds and mine are done in twenty minutes. A service can wait 20min! Perhaps it couldn't though, like maybe the venue was very popular and they only had it for an hour before the next event. I hope the bride didn't just choose to exclude their daughter because they thought a delay would be embarassing.
