Thread: What is your single most embarrassing moment ever? Does it beat this?

The last wedding I was at was one between my cousin Shona and her fiance Andy. My mum is a minister and she had been asked to take the wedding. Now this was a family wedding so I pretty much knew half the people there but crucially I didnt know them very well. Also, for those who dont know, my name is Sandy. This is the information you need for this story.

The ceremony went fine and at the reception we all sat down. The bride and groom, their respective parents and my mum (minister) were all at the head table. The MC called silence and said that we would have a blessing, then food, then speeches.

Cue my mother. A silent room. Eyes closed and heads bowed.

Some of you can probably already see the car crash coming.

My mum proceeded to give thanks for the marriage between 'Shona and Sandy.... um... Andy'

I quietly died. I prayed that the hall would open up and swallow me. I was CRINGING with embarrassment.

OMGOMGOMG

So tell me lads and lasses... have you ever been more embarrassed than that?

Andy, I mean, Sandy ;-) If this is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you, consider yourself extremely lucky.

Al raz.

Go on Al, what has happened to you that was really emarassing? Something more embarassing than your mother marrying you to your cousin in front of all your relatives....

The day before my wedding, my entire non-drinking, non-smoking Southern Baptist family came down to New Orleans to be present for the wedding. My cousin got me so drunk and high that when I went to see the family, I passed out in front of them, and went straight to the bathroom to vomit for the next 4 hours.

haha, my guess, since it was mostly family, is that everyone already knows that your mum thinks it high time you found a nice girl to get married

My mom still does similar to me sometimes, though never like that in public. I'm the oldest of my siblings by several years, yet my mom will start to call me by all my siblings' names. Once she even started to call me by the dog's name!

Most embarrassing? Hmm, not sure.

I doubt it Quick. I was sitting next to my wife of five years at the time!
