A guy shared a story of how he screwed up a few years back while giving a speech in front of his friends, his wife’s friends and their families which resulted in awkwardness and the wife disturbing him about it from time to time.
He said that thankfully his wife was not mad at him over the incident but he still feels very embarrassed as a lot of people related to the both of them were present.
He wanted to thank his wife while addressing the crowd at a party, but ended up mentioning his ex wife’s name when giving his speech.
Here is the story
“I was married to my first wife for less than 4 years. I married my current wife 3 years later and have been happily married for 6 years. We have 2 lovely daughters and i have never been this happy.
On one of our daughter’s birthday, we held mini celebration and invited all our family, relatives and friends over along with out daughter’s play school mates and their families.
I was asked by my wife to say a few words just before the cake cutting ceremony as we have never really had celebrations or gatherings like this before and she thought that it would be nice to speak to everyone and get to let them know our little family better.
So i am at the end of my little talk and i am saying how happy and proud i was for having someone so special in my life and this is where i screwed up. Instead of saying my wife’s name, i said my ex wife’s name.
In that moment, time slowed down. I could hear my heart stop as I look at my wife who was standing to the left of me with the “oh crap” face.
I knew I was going to pay for that and I knew we were going to get in a fight when we got home.
Thankfully when we had a chance to talk she wasn’t mad, she understands that I go get a lot of jitters when I do public speaking.
However she and her family do disturb me here and there about my mistake from time to time and asked me if I still think of my ex wife.”
Editor’s notes: Lucky you did not call the wrong name when you guys are intimate.
