The Bride Wore A Diaper!

Stress can do strange things to a person. When planning a big wedding stress weighs heavy on the bride to be. If ever there was a reason to step back and re-think your wedding plans, the following account would be it.

If you are planning a wedding, you probably have heard every wedding horror story out there by now. Urban legends abound in wedding disasters. Unfortunately, most of the stories are 100% true. I was an eye witness to the bride in the diaper debacle, and I can tell you, I will never look at weddings in the same way again.

Rule number one when you are planning a big wedding, "TRY NOT TO EMBARRASS YOURSELF". People think a wedding disaster will never happen to them, but the odds are it will. The bigger the wedding, the better the chance that something will go horrifically wrong! Our bride who wore a diaper probably wishes someone gave her this advice. But the question is, would she have listened?

Our diapered bride was an average 25 year old who never had any medical problems or any indication that one day, on her wedding day, her bowels would simply and totally betray her in a most devastating way. She was happy-go-lucky, planning her big day with a spirit of gusto reserved for drunken sailors. Nothing, and I mean nothing seemed to faze her. She
