No matter how much planning goes into it, something will inevitably go wrong on your wedding day. And the queen of unpredictable, unforeseen circumstances is none other than Mother Nature herself.

SonLight Music Ministry had just finished what sounded like a beautiful rendition of “Be Thou My Vision” when Father Ray Kelly again took the mic at the wedding of Chris and Leah O’Kane. But instead of closing the ceremony as planned, the priest unleashed a big surprise for the couple that’s destined for the pantheon of wedding viral videos.
It’s not a joke or a slip-up, but a performance of epic proportions. A backing track mysteriously begins and Father Kelly launches into a rewritten version of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” customized just for the new married couple. And this priest has pipes, belting out the melody with ease and even raising the key a whole step.
By the end, the stunned bride is left in tears while members of the audience offer a standing ovation. Father Kelly’s sweet and skillful gesture certainly deserved it.

We know how tricky it is to strike the right balance of sincerity and humor in a wedding toast. Add to that equation two shots of tequila and a few glasses of champagne, and things can go wrong, very wrong. To help you save face (and avoid the wrath of the mother of the bride), we’re counting down the 17 worst things you could say in your speech.
“When I first met the groom, I didn’t like him all that much.”
“We were beginning to worry that you were never going to get married.”
“I only have a couple pages left.”
“The last time you guys broke up, we were all sure it was over. But look how wrong we were.”
“To a thrilling lifetime together spent watching thousands upon thousands of hours of television!”
“I’m really happy that we’re all here to celebrate today, but I’d like to take a moment of silence to remember the 1 billion people who live in chronic hunger everyday.”
“Remember that time in college when we made out?”
“I know shouldn’t say this, but it’s really great that your husband is so rich.”
“If it doesn’t work out, I know a really good lawyer.”
“One word of advice: Wait until you have kids before you cheat.”
“May this marriage turn out better than your first one.”
“I remember when you said your ex-boyfriend was the love of your life, and I’m happy you found another one.”
“I honestly don’t know how you snagged this guy. You’re so lucky, I can’t believe it.”
“Congratulations on the baby! Oh wait, have you started telling people?”
“To my sister, I’m so excited to share some wonderful news with you on such a special day: I’m pregnant!”
“May all your ups and downs be between the sheets.”
“There’s a saying that the length of the best man’s toast is how long the groom will last on his wedding night. (Pause.) Cheers!”
