Some guests arrive late:<\/h2>\n<p>Late arrivals will happen, and there isn\u2019t much you can do about it. Whether it\u2019s traffic, an emergency or just plain carelessness, unless you are missing a key person from the wedding, carry on as planned. Late guests will likely sneak into the ceremony once it\u2019s started so try to ignore the distraction and be in the moment with your new spouse. Odds are, by the end of the night, even the end of the ceremony, you&#8217;ll have forgotten all about it.<\/p>\n<h2>3. One of your \u2018DO NOT PLAY\u2019 songs comes on:<\/h2>\n<p>Even if you have a list of taboo songs, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/music-djs\">DJ<\/a> might not be able to reference each and every request given. Unfortunately, there\u2019s nothing you can really do about this one so take a bathroom break and enjoy the rest of the night.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/l3fZPYFSKWjCsrAiI\" width=\"990\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>4. Someone\u2019s speech goes down some very inappropriate roads:<\/h2>\n<p>Even if you pre-read everyone\u2019s speeches and continuously remind them to NOT bring up that time your spouse almost died in college\u2026 it might happen. Remember that this is not a reflection of you or your spouse, but of the \u2018friend\u2019 making the speech. Roll with the punches and try to laugh it off best you can.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Your flowers aren\u2019t the exact shade of pink you wanted:<\/h2>\n<p>With things like flowers, you are at the mercy of mother nature and might have to be okay with the fact that your blooms aren\u2019t quite the shade of pink you had pictured.
