(Original Air Date: 03/23/09) The bridal party may look beautiful, the guests may arrive on time, and the best man may remember the rings, but sometimes the best-planned ceremonies can go horribly wrong. Dr. Phil’s first guest, Gi’Zelle, is well acquainted with wedding disasters. When she woke up on her special day, she had no idea she’d end the evening eating pizza at home with her bridesmaids. Gi’Zelle says the man of her dreams left her at the altar, and she hasn’t seen or spoken to him since. In the four years since the young woman was jilted on her big day, she says she hasn’t been on a single date. Don’t miss Dr. Phil’s surprise for her! And, Brandi says a series of mishaps marred the day she wed Robert. But nothing could prepare her for the biggest calamity of them all, one that caused her to be rushed to the hospital in her wedding gown! Robert says he thinks his wife feels their relationship is doomed because of that incident. How can Brandi let go of the painful memories and move on? And, Carrie got hitched at a chapel in Las Vegas and says everything that could go wrong did. She says her wedding gifts were stolen, the reception food was undercooked and the rabbi who officiated the service later revealed he was not Jewish and was actually a reverend. Her husband, Mitch, says the ceremony was fine, and he wants his wife to get over it. How can Carrie move past the guilt? Share your thoughts here.

I well remember that other event planner. The one who planned an outdoor wedding in the hot, pop-up rain shower-prone month of July for her own wedding. So, she got rained on. And, her cake melted in the heat. Probably from the wrong kind of icing. Traditional shortning-based icing melts in hot weather. A buttercream icing might have held up better. But, only fondant would have held up best in the July heat. She was a victim of her own poor planning.

Ok here is what you didn't see....I am an event planner and have been for 15 years.
You were correct on the wedding location.
When I slightly mentioned the wedding was planned in 24 hours, that was totally twisted!
I had said, being a professional I knew EXACTLY what I wanted. this was a second wedding for me.
The wedding itself I was able to plan in 24 hours BUT the day was set for 2 weeks away from when I planned it!
He made it sound like I planned and got married within 24 hours! NOT the case at all!!!
If you are a professional, and know what you are doing and what you want, it should have taken no time at all. and there should have been 0 flaws...ok maybe a few but certainly not that many!
I finally found my PRINCE CHARMING I wanted my wedding to be the same!
There was a lot that was not what it looked like on "TV"

The wedding isn't the point; the marriage is the point. Why not be grateful for having a good husband instead of still whining years later that the wedding wasn't perfect. The only one I had much sympathy for was the one who was stood up at the altar. She seemed like such a nice lady too, it's hard to imagine why somebody would treat her that way.

Brandi is killing me - she is so negative and feeling sorry for herself. I'm surprised Dr Phil just rewarded her victim mentality with a reception. I feel for her of course, but she's hanging onto it years later. She was fine afterward and none of her friends or family were injured... get over it already. At least she had a nice wedding and has a good marriage. Move on already - the way she's dwelling on this makes her seem awfully self-centered and ungrateful. What's the payoff for her to be so stuck on this - sympathy? Yuck! She's lucky her husband is so sweet to support her.

I think that this girls mother is crazy. I think she was upset that her daughter and soon to be husband wouldn't listen to her about the wedding date. She secretly put something in the girls food or drink to make her have an allergic reaction. I think the original plan was to have her have the reaction before the wedding so she couldn't go through with it. It backfired on her though, the wedding still took place and now they will be given another wedding by Dr. Phill. Did she see that coming in the stars? Maybe Dr. Phill can "heal" her from her craziness.

I Was married about 3 weeks ago today The day started out lovely the best day of my life and turned out to be almost also the worst I was struck by an RTS bus around 3:30 on my wedding day. My mother was nearly killed We also had my 6 year old niece in the car I feard for her life. It was the scariest thing ever My mom was taking to the hospital and I l was left behind with minor cuts and a very badly hurt knee My niece had not one scratch on her My mom turned to protect her. I had to wait until the cop told us we could leave the scence of the accident which seemed like it took forever. The second we were told we could leave I went and seen my mom I was so scared because everytme I called I was told nothing. So here I am searching for my momther still in my wedding dress which was ruined It was torn on the side im guessing from glass and there was blood at the bottom. I finally found out that my mom was going to be ok which was a huge relief. She has nerve damage but nothing to serious thank god. I truly believe something protected us that day Because we all could have died. My husband felt so bad Talk about a rough start to your marriage lol But its getting to a point where we can sit back and laugh about it because we look at it this way we can think of how it ruined our wedding day or we can be thankful that everyone made it out alive. Lets just say we now have a new start on life.... Everyday is a gift and not a gving right I live by that now
