No Grandma -- not the Pimm's!Weddings are becoming more and more casual in these modern times. Apparently we can't get enough of the barefoot-on-the-beach ceremonies. But for wedding guests, certain rules of etiquette still apply. Don't wear a white dress if you're not the bride. Don't sleep with more than one of the groomsmen. And for pity's sake, don't splash Pimm's all over the bride when you really should be tossing confetti.
Major wedding faux pas, Grandma! In this wedding video, you'll see that she broke one of these important wedding etiquette rules -- and no, it wasn't the one about not sleeping with the groomsmen. Now the bride is all wet.
(Pimm's is a sort of gin-based drink popular in England.)
Oh dear, poor Grandma. She's utterly humiliated! And so is the bride. And did you hear that bit at the very beginning? "I'm on Grandma watch. She's only had one Pimm's so far ..." Someone was not minding Grandma closely enough, apparently. Why wasn't she holding a cup of confetti like everyone else? No wonder she was confused. She was framed!
Thank heavens there was a cute young man standing nearby to comfort Grandma. But I think we all learned a valuable lesson here. Even more important than not wearing white (unless you're the bride), not sleeping with all the groomsmen, and not splashing the bride with Pimm's there is this most crucial rule: If you're on Grandma watch, better just hide the Pimm's altogether.
Have you ever committed a major wedding faux pas?

You can see her cup of confetti in her left hand, she just got the two mixed up! Let's hope she doesn't drive either (just kidding, maybe!) ;-)
AWwww....poor grandma! She is clearly upset. It looks like she is crying at the end of the video. I can totally understand why a bride would be upset at the moment, but honestly, this won't matter years down the road. It was at the end of the ceremony and it's not like that dress will ever get worn again. Too much importance is placed on the wedding when it's the marriage that counts. I would have endured getting some drink splashed on me if it meant my grandmother could have been alive to attend my wedding.
I honestly felt bad for grandma. You could clearly see she just got her hands mixed up. I think if this was the brides grandma, she shouldn't have made her feel so bad. It was only a small drink. She acted like she got a bucket of water dropped on her head. Talk about a prima donna. It doesn't say who's grandma it was. Nobody should make someone feel that bad. It was just an accident.
Goodness the bride overreacted a tad. A few ounces of liquid at the end of the ceremony is not the end of the world. Poor granny.
DH put his foot in his mouth asking a man with gray hair if he was the father of the bride or the father of the groom. The man was the groom. OOPS! Oh did he look like he wanted the floor to open up and swallow him!
It wasn't red wine for crying out loud! Geesh I would have laughed it off and hugged Grandma, not ran away.
Poor grandma..she obviously felt so bad and the bride was over reacting a bit I would say!
That's what makes memories!
