It’s inevitable that something will go wrong with weddings; it just happens.
How could there not be a few snags on the big day with thousands of pounds spent and hundreds of attendees?
One woman may have the largest wedding gaffe on her hands because she says she accidentally married her father-in-law.
You did read that correctly.
The information was revealed on the episode of Fitzy and Wippa with Kate Ritchie that aired on Tuesday, July 18, when the three hosts were taking calls about occasions when callers had messed up the one assignment they were assigned.
One woman, named Kim, had a doozy that was both hysterical and horrifying.
Kim recalled: “So I got married and we needed two witnesses, which was my mother and my father-in-law.
“And then at our rehearsal, the mother-in-law insisted that her husband come up [as a witness too].”
So far, so good right?
Well, it was only after everything was signed that the error was spotted.
Kim revealed: “So we find the certificate and then when we looked at it and I’m actually now married to my husband and my father-in-law.
“They signed on the same line.”
This led to shock from the presenters, with Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald clarifying: “So legally on a piece of paper you are married to your father-in-law?”
Kim replied: “Well on the certificate. Thank God I’m hoping they didn’t sign the legal papers that would be horrible.”
Fellow presenter Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli remarked: “That is amazing. [He] Just saw the signature and went ‘I’ll throw my name on that.'”
Kim, however, clarified that she wasn’t legally wed to her father-in-law.
