How did you overcome the thing that<br />
went wrong on your wedding day?<br />
BY HALEM SHEENA<br />
February is the time we shine the spotlight on Weddings. Couples shared<br />
their stories on how they dealt with the unexpected on their special day.<br />
Brigit Samona, 32, Commerce:<br />
Just hours before my wedding, I was zipping my<br />
dress and the zipper popped right off into my hand. I<br />
would’ve freaked out, but luckily for me, my amazingly<br />
talented Maid of Honor/Sister put her talent of sewing<br />
to good use, and sewed my dress shut. Luckily for<br />
me, the rest of the night went smoothly and my dress<br />
stayed together!<br />
Martina Konja, 27, West Bloomfield:<br />
I walked into the reception hall and everything looked<br />
amazing. However, something was off. We had wanted<br />
a floating glass with flowers under the cake, but<br />
this addition was nowhere to be found. I was so upbeat<br />
and happy about the day, that I just went on with<br />
the night because I knew we’d be the only ones that<br />
knew it was missing. Your guest have no idea what<br />
your vision was, they just see what is done. All and all,<br />
everything looked great!<br />
Summer Yaldo Nagarah, 32, Troy:<br />
You want everything to be perfect on one of the most<br />
important days of your life; however, there are things<br />
you just can’t control. Nothing major went wrong on<br />
our wedding day, but we had a few complications<br />
with running late and forgetting a few minor things at<br />
home. My butterfly releasing did not go as planned.<br />
I’ve been in many weddings and coordinated plenty,<br />
so to every bride and groom I will say, enjoy the day<br />
and don’t stress the small things because it’s about<br />
the love that you two are sharing and celebrating with<br />
one another and everyone that is attending.<br />
Shavon Manni, 36, Troy:<br />
I walked into our hall and realized that the cake on<br />
the table was one that I had never seen before. I may<br />
have been frustrated at that moment, but after looking<br />
over at my new husband and all our loved ones, it was<br />
in that moment I realized it is not worth sweating the<br />
small stuff. Not one person in that room was going to<br />
remember my cake, nor did they even notice it.<br />
Rita Zoma, 28, West Bloomfield:<br />
In the moment I did get disappointed, because I had<br />
high expectations after so many months of planning.<br />
But, I got over it because I realized it was so minor<br />
compared to the bigger picture which was that I just<br />
married my best friend and we were starting a new<br />
exciting chapter in our lives. The small issues don’t<br />
matter anymore.<br />
Robert Semaan, 31, Sterling Heights:<br />
There wasn’t one specific thing that went wrong, but<br />
the stress and anticipation makes you feel like everything<br />
is going wrong. I kept thinking that these small<br />
things did not matter and just went into the day with<br />
an open mind. In the end, it was all in my head and<br />
everything went great!<br />
