As I was planning our wedding, I kept in mind that not everything would go as planned ... I loved to ask people what things went wrong on their wedding day, to help me feel less like it needed to be perfect, I guess. And people's responses usually ended up being really funny stories too!
Anyway, the whole day of our wedding, things were going pretty smoothly. Sure, there were hiccups and delays here and there, but nothing as interesting as my friends' stories. I was actually getting a little disappointed that I wouldn't get a "fun" well-we-had-to-deal-with-this experience. Cuz, you know, those are so desirable.
Of course, we got what we asked for.
As we drove away from the reception, we were pretty much in the clear. I was really pleasantly surprised how well everything went and we were looking forward to starting our honeymoon.
... But first we had to get the cans off the back of our car. (I love that our car got decorated with cans, by the way. So traditional and, I don't know, wedding-like.) Anyway, we stopped in a nearby neighborhood to remove them before we got on the highway. Unfortunately, we couldn't get started again; our car engine wouldn't turn over!
Eventually El-ahrairah's dad came to jump it, but when that didn't work, we just took another of his family's cars, and off we went to bliss! And with our very own own what-went-wrong story to boot!
*Our car got a new battery the next day and it's been working great ever since!
