A wedding day is supposed to be magical—filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. But for one unfortunate bride, her big day became unforgettable for all the wrong reasons.
A wedding planner recently shared a horrifying story on Reddit about a bride who “gambled on a fart and lost in a big way.” The result? A $15,000 wedding dress ruined in the most disgusting way imaginable.
A Risky Move Gone Wrong
The wedding was a grand affair, held in a historic barn on the bride’s family estate. While the setting was charming, it lacked running water or proper restrooms—something that would soon become a major problem.
Despite a few hiccups, everything was going according to plan. That is, until just before the professional photos were about to be taken. The planner noticed the bride’s expression shift from joy to sheer panic. Within seconds, her assistant radioed in: “We have an issue.”
That issue? The bride had taken a chance on a simple fart. Except, it wasn’t just a fart.
The $15,000 Disaster
The bride’s dress was extravagant—a full ball gown with a tight, corseted bodice and layers upon layers of fabric underneath. She also wore a shape-wear garment made of waterproof latex, which, unfortunately, trapped the disaster inside like a “water balloon of horror.”
Trying to salvage the situation, the planner’s assistant attempted damage control. But as soon as she unfastened the shape-wear’s snap crotch, a thick, oily, indescribable mess began to leak out. The smell? Absolutely unbearable.
With no proper facilities to clean up, panic set in. The bride, now sobbing, insisted the wedding must go on. There was no time to change. There was no time to fix this. She had a choreographed dance to perform.
A Dance to Forget
As the first dance began, the groom lovingly placed his hand on his new bride’s waist—completely unaware of the horror lurking beneath. With each twirl, the trapped mess squished higher up her body, finally seeping through the back of her gown.
The planner and her assistant watched in horror as a dark stain spread across the bride’s expensive dress. Then, the unthinkable happened—the groom placed his hand directly onto the stain.
At this point, the smell had reached the DJ booth. Something had to be done.
The Cleanup From Hell
After the dance, the planner rushed the bride into a makeshift cleaning station. There, armed with dish gloves and a poncho, she did what had to be done—scrubbing down the sobbing bride while questioning every life decision that had led her to this moment.
The dress was beyond saving. The inner lining was cut out entirely. The bride was handed a Xanax and sent back to the party, skipping dinner because, well, no one had an appetite anymore.
As for the groom? He was a good sport—never saying a word about what had happened. He did, however, politely request that the garter toss be canceled.
A Wedding to Remember
Miraculously, the wedding photos turned out stunning. The event was even featured in a magazine. No one looking at those dreamy images would ever suspect the nightmare that had unfolded behind the scenes.
So, if something goes wrong on your big day, just remember—it could always be worse. Much, much worse.
