and then not know how to get it out?





sheesh

Yep. More often than I care to admit.

All the time....

At my last wedding I asked two divorced parents of the bride, "go over there and stand next to your wife"

When I got the blank look, "On the left side of the bride and groom there to have the married couples together!"

Long pause.....

THEN it finally clicked.... DOH... "nevermind, sorry about that, stay right where you are"..............

dumb... I hate that

every day.

My mouth goes faster than my brain....

Like when I asked for the Bride's Mom & Dad, and immediately realized that I knew he had died a month before the wedding?

Yep. I have.

I'm notorious for it!



(Gives my non-involved with the conversation, watching-me-do-it...........again friends, get great enjoyment at my expense!) (Ask Jen Stewart!)

And not know how to get it out? Not terrbily often, but stick my foot in my mouth? Probably daily, comes with my personality, lol.

Meaning nothing you say or do seems to ameliorate the situation. It's just stuck.

So, Vida,

What did YOU say?

Do we need to call the PPA legal hotline for you?

Just askin'...

Ohhhhhhhh!!!! Well.... sadly yes... that does happen a fair bit. Time usually does a fantastic job of healing it though. It's never fun to waiting it out tough....

I do it all the time. My most recent was when I was on the phone with a brides's mom and she expressed that she only wished that she could see their engagement pictures, I asked her "why, do you need the link to their online gallery?" She then reminded me that she was legally blind.. that was not such a great moment

I made a joke. The recipient took it seriously/personally.

Bah.

That'll teach me.

Get in line...


There's not an adult person that hasn't done something similar.

I am so sorry about that...we all end up in that situation though at one time or another.

The worst for me though was when one of my assistants made a comment that really wasn't PC and made me and the whole wedding party feel uncomfortable.

I have also been known to say things that the groomsmen seem to think are hilarious....mostly b/c they sound perverted without me meaning to be.
One day I was talking about lighting and I had to tell her that I would just "bounce it from behind"...so needless to say they couldn't stop cracking up and I got some real smiles so whateva.

I am sure your foot will be out of your mouth and back on the ground in no time.

During my second meeting with a bride (first time time meeting the groom), right after I had my baby, the bride asked me "Did you have a boy or girl?"

I grinned and said, "Girl, thank goodness!"

"Why?" they wonder...

"Because red hair runs in my family and i think red head girls are much cuter than red head boys (no offence red headed male OSPers...)"

Not 10 seonds later her 4 year old son walks in the room with Blazin' red hair.

....NOW. That will teach me!

ouch, ouch, OUCH!!!!!
