Tensions tend to run high when planning the perfect wedding — just ask any bride. From organizing seating charts to dealing with rowdy in-laws, the preparation that goes into a single event is mind-blowing. While the happy couple saying "I do" should be the most expected thing to happen during a wedding, those who are seasoned in the white dress affair know to expect the unexpected.
