Silly White Horse Saddle Slider Western Wedding

This Came From Sarah R.  of Rocky Branch, LA

I read the story of the Grand Canyon Wedding posted on your site and laughed my tail off! After reading it, I had to share my own story.


My husband and I are big fans of the television show, “Walker: Texas Ranger” and we wanted a wedding with the feel of a modern western where everyone had cowboy hats and boots on.


After the outdoor wedding, my husband and I were going to ride away on a white horse.


We rented the horse and the saddle but I didn’t know how to put it on him. I assumed all men knew how to do that so I didn’t question Tom’s ability to do so.


So, there we were following the ceremony. Tom mounted the horse, then reached down to help me up. As soon as my weight was off the ground, the saddle slid.


It was funny because I tried to catch Tom as he fell over, and I fell flat on my back. He fell sprawled out on top of me with his face buried deep in my cleavage!


Seeing we weren’t hurt, people started laughing. My brother-in-law remarked, “Can’t you wait till you get a room?”

Lost Wallet Wedding Blessing

This story comes to us from Lisa D.  of Johnson, TN

Our wedding took months to plan. We’d go to the Church to get married, then meet at the Brandi House later for the reception, Toward the end of the evening, we were to sneak away to our honeymoon.

After we each said, “I do”, George told me he lost his wallet. I looked at him and gave him back his words, “You lost your wallet!?”


He started explaining how he had to fix his pants at his brother’s house earlier, and that if she could stall everyone at the Church, he’d get the wallet and the key that was in it, to unlock the Brandi House doors.


Little did we know, while I was stalling all the guests at the church, across town the Brandi House was in flames.


According to the fire department, there was a gas leak in the kitchen. The Fire Marshall’s report said the pilot light under the hot water heater ignited the room full of natural gas causing an explosion.

If George had not misplaced that wallet, someone would have been in that kitchen when it exploded.

Sometimes little inconveniences happen for a reason.
