We went to a wedding this Saturday – beeeeea-utiful! Outside, 80 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, at an incredible old estate. The reception was under a tent in a horse paddock with huge blooming peony bushes surrounding the fences. Seriously gorgeous. We were seated with a fun group of my husband’s co-workers, having a great time.
Our table noticed it was time for the toast. All the men were off somewhere so we ladies took matters into our own hands. I took the bottle of champagne and started to pop the cork out. It wasn’t moving. (Can you guess where this is going?) So I pushed harder.
POP!
The cork SAILED ACROSS THE ENTIRE WEDDING TENT!
OVER THE BEST MAN!
WHO WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS SPEECH!
The ENTIRE tent looked over at me, sitting at the table, holding a newly opened bottle of champagne with my mouth hanging wide open.
Ohmygoodness. I. Wanted. To. Die. DIE!! Crawl underneath the tablecloth, curl up in a ball and DIE!
Did I mention that this was the wedding of someone my husband WORKS with? Way to make a great impression! Wanna guess what his office will be talking about on Tuesday? Seriously. You can’t take me anywhere!
About Melissa
Oh, I got you beat. Yours had no lasting effects save a few embarrassed memories!
Two weeks ago, I managed to shave a chunk out of the back of my husband’s hair while giving him a haircut with the clippers. And I mean, there wasn’t any possible way we could hide it. His work is VERY much in the public eye and he doesn’t wear a hat as part of his uniform. I felt so bad about it I almost don’t mind that he probably ‘threw me in front of the train’ when he had to explain it to his workmates!

LOL! LOL!!!
That’s why I don’t go NEAR champagne bottles until they are completely uncorked. Last time I attempted to open one the cork flew across the kitchen and hit Adam’s roommate.
Oh, I sooooo wish I had seen THAT! Especially the look on your face:)
I stay away from corks. They don’t like me.
That’s hilarious! Bless your heart…
Lets look at the bright side. At least you won’t be the wife that no one in the office remembers.
eh, could have been worse… at least you didn’t get caught making out in the coat room…or hit the best man in the eye with the cork… :0
I’m sure they found that very funny
Don’t worry. At least you didn’t hit the best man right in his face! 
omg, oops….hopefully it will go down as a funny thing happened at our wedding…:)
