As if planning a wedding weren't stressful enough, one couple in Britain managed to land the title of unluckiest bride and groom when every single thing went wrong.Seriously. Kenneth and Karen Porter's impending nuptials got off to a bad start when the airline and the hotel firm that had booked their honeymoon went bust. After that, the shop with the bridesmaids' dresses also went bankrupt, and they lost their deposit. THEN, Michael Jackson died, probably because they had bought tickets to see his concert to celebrate their nuptials, and an unexpected foot surgery made them cancel an Oasis concert they planned to see instead.
Next, the hotel they had booked to host their wedding went bankrupt, and yet another deposit was lost. It gets even weirder. The store holding the bride's dress was robbed, but, in the only stroke of good fortune the couple enjoyed, the dress remained unharmed. Except, oops, the steamer they bought for their wedding clothes literally blew up right in front of their very eyes.
You'd think somebody was trying to tell them something, but the wedding itself managed to go off without a hitch, and the honeymoon they arranged after the first one fell through turned out to be a marvelous time.
Hopefully all those mini-catastrophes have earned them smooth sailing for awhile.

If they could still get married after all that, they have a long and happy life together! They are not deterred by mishaps and tradgedy and should be able to weather any storms. Good Luck to both of them!

Wow! And I thought my wedding was a disaster. The JP didn't show up to marry us, it poured down rain when it was supposed to be an outdoor wedding and weather said no chance of rain, we lost electricity, one of the brides maids got mad and left before the wedding started, we had tents from a local funeral home that said funeral home name on them to keep the tables dry.

Sounds like our wedding. A week before the date, I was involved in a motorcycle accident, with minor injuries. Several days before the wedding the airline went on strike and nearly wiped out our honeymoon. The morning of our wedding, my Dad called from his hotel to tell me his Caddy had been stolen. The travel agent came thought with a flight, but we get to the hotel in Cancun only to find out they were overbooked and did not have a room for us. But it went on and we've been married 24 years so far.

Why do you think that? Not all men are like that. My Husband and I had friends who were getting married at the same time. We were to have a double wedding. After making all the plans myself and the other bride just wanted to get married on my dime and do nothing. 2 weeks before the wedding I called it off. It was my Husband's Church so they gave us the time slot. I had to redo many of the plans and make sure the Ushers were on hand to stop any trouble. The other Groom was our Best Man. She broke off the marriage after she could not book the Church and Reception Hall for a hour before us and he stood up for us. So yes Marriages can and do survive with rocky starts. BTW we have been married for 22 years with 3 wonderful children. Neither of us ever cheated. It is called TRUE LOVE!!! Some people can actually have faithful happy marriages. It takes work.

i think the people who endure these unfortunate wedding circumstances are not doomed at all, if they still get married no matter what , that proves true love, for better or worse......right from the very start

I HAD A VERY GOOD WEDDING BUT I ALSO WAS VERY CLOSE TO MY GUY FRIENDS. AFTER THE WEDDING WHEN MOST HAD LEFT ONE OF MY FRIENDS ASK ME IF I COULD HELP THEM LOAD AN ORGAN THAT WE HAD RENTED. I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ODD REQUEST BUT I ALSO KNEW THAT THE ORGAN WAS VERY HEAVY. ON LOADING IT, SOME OF MY FRIENDS ALSO LOADED ME IN THE TRUCK AND I COULD NOT GET AWAY. THEY TOOK ME TO A BAR WE WENT TO SOME AND I HAD TO HAVE A PICTURE OF BEER BEFORE THEY WOULD TAKE ME BACK. MY WIFE, HER MOM AND DAD, MY MOM AND DAD WERE THE ONLY ONE'S STILL AT THE CHURCH. WELL, ABOUT 7 GUYS I WAS WITH. BAD START BUT FUN. WE TALKED ABOUT IT FOR YEARS.

If all of that happened to my fiance and I before our wedding, I would have had to put
it on hold. Not cancel just postpone. I know all too well what kind of weird and sad things can happen before one's nuptials. The worst was having to attend a sad wake and funeral, just three weeks before my wedding. I had to bury my Mom, as she died (young, only 52) from cancer... My family and I, really thought that, my mom was strong enough to hold on for at least a few more months but she checked
out early. About 6 months before we got married our landlord informed us that we had 30 days to move out, as his daughter was moving in. It is amazing that landlords can really get away with that kind of eviction. It's not fair! So, we had to scramble and find a somewhat affordable place to live, and is still close enough to our FT jobs. We managed somehow. Anyway, the reason I went ahead with the wedding, after all, even though I was still grieving, was because my mom was very instrumental in putting my entire wedding together. My dad highly suggested that I go ahead with the upcoming wedding, b/c that's what my mom would have wanted. And I know my dad was right. All day long during my wedding, I felt my mother's presence so much! I'm glad I went through with it, even though I still felt numb inside
and was still very sad.
