#1. The weather forecast ditched you at the last moment

We know you checked the weather predictions everyday ever since the wedding date got finalised, but when it comes to judging nature, you cannot be a hundred per cent sure, can you? So, a bright sparkling sun on an otherwise cloudy afternoon set up or rains on an outdoor set-up can completely ruin your reception.

#5. Kids messed up the entire stage decorations

They rip apart the flowers, jump on your decorated sofas with messy shoes and shift the carpet or eat a bite each from all desserts. Man, do you need patience in a situation like this? Yes, yes you do!

And, not only is your dress stitched to a length including your 5-inch heels, but also your husband is more than a few inches taller than you! Just for the worst-case scenario, keep a pair as a spare.

#8. Very little lighting arrangement

You thought that a full moon night with a million stars in the sky and just a few lights would give your wedding a surreal charming effect. In reality though, your guests can hardly recognise each other’s faces!

#9. The food is not as good as you imagined it would be

Because when you went for the food tasting, you visited the caterer’s restaurant where food is made in small quantities and will obviously taste good, whereas actually, you should have tasted the food at one of the wedding events organised by the same caterer before your gathering.

#10. You get unexpected guests

You invited only the family but they brought along some houseguests who are staying at their place with them. What do you do now? How do you seat them? How do you feed them? Well, for such a situation, make sure that the caterer arranges for some extra plates and chairs.
