A wedding day is supposed to be one of the most wonderful days of your life. All of your family and friends are there to share it with you, months of meticulous planning has gone into it, and you've paid nearly a year's salary to fund it all. Everything has been building up to this dreamy moment and all eyes are on you and your future spouse. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, as it turns out, quite a lot, actually.

We asked our readers to tell us about some of the worst wedding mishaps they have ever witnessed or experienced. Whilst we expected to hear of a few minor accidents on the big day, the horror stories we were told far exceeded our expectations:

"The groom, who'd been out the night before, kept sitting up and down and huffing and puffing. Suddenly, we heard him say 'oh crap!', and he ran down the aisle towards the toilet, holding his bottom. Unfortunately, the groom had indeed pooed himself!"

"The bride's mother didn't like the groom - not one bit - and everyone knew it. So, in a bid to avoid her going to the wedding, she was told that they broke up. Somehow, the mother found out and she broke into the wedding ceremony and shot the groom in the leg at the altar."

"The groom looked drunk and the bride seemed incredibly angry. Then there was this woman walking around during the reception taking bets on when they would divorce. I later found out she was the mother of the groom."

"By the time I got to the evening reception, the bride had her boobs hanging out of her dress. Her bridesmaids were desperately trying to help her cover her modesty while she danced! Hardly surprising when they had Jägerbombs as their toast drinks."

"At the wedding, the photographer drank heavily, effectively ruining all the photos. The images were blurred, cut out important people, or were ridiculously staged. Maybe it was an omen for the trouble to come - they got divorced last year."

"A kid fell into the £3000 wedding cake right at the start of the day. Subsequently, it was completely unsalvageable."

From topless brides and kids in cakes to drunken photographers and injured grooms - the possibilities are endless and, unfortunately, these things can and do happen.

Have you ever witnessed a memorable wedding mishap? Or perhaps you were the unfortunate one that experienced it? If so, we'd like to hear from you.
