Three things: What went wrong in Rachel and Allan's wedding
or How R&A almost won $10,000 on America's Funniest Home Videos

1. While helping Rachel and dress up the stairs to the altar, the maid of honor stepped on her own dress, resulting in a huge ripping sound. If the whole skirt had ripped off or if I had been unable to quit laughing (I snickered for a loooong time), we could've been winners.

2. While trying to get the unity candle lit, Rachel's errant candle fell at her, pouring wax on her arm, but (un)fortunately (for the videographer) not torching her dress.

3. Bridesmaid #2 nearly passed out. Thankfully we got her onto the piano bench, and one of Allan's uncles stepped up to help her. If she had fallen, it would've been on me (two steps down) which would've meant a domino-effect of maids and 10,000 big ones.

MVP: Allan's uncle
LEB (least event-causing bridesmaid): Me

Honestly, I felt bad for bmaid #2, for the whole reception she had to reassure 150++ people that she was okay and talk about what she had eaten before hand (like all of us, that was light breakfast, no lunch).
