So I was walking to work the other day, in the middle of what might be considered the grossest, rainiest weather NYC has seen in a while. I’m standing at a street corner, waiting with 20 other people for the walk signal to turn (it’s a busy crosswalk). I’m assuming the “defensive position” when it comes to umbrella maneuvering - hunched back, ’brella against the wind. I think I’ve got things covered, and I get complacent.
You can guess where this is going.
Out of nowhere, a huge gale of wind hits my umbrella like a ton of bricks. In turn, my umbrella hits ME like a ton of bricks.
This, my bees, is how I ended up with a large gray welt on my forehead the week before my bridal shower. Ugh. STOOPID. I’m a total klutz. I attract accidents like Velcro.
My mishaps to date:
And that’s just off the top of my (very bruised) head. With this history, I’m tempted to walk around the entire month before my wedding in bubble wrap and a padded helmet. But I would probably injure myself by tripping on the slippery wrap.
Any other klutz brides out there? Are you concerned about injuring yourself before the big day?
Do other people feel they get clumsy around their period? That’s when I get clumsy. I don’t know what it is. Nothing as bad as you though. Goodness.
I’m the biggest klutz! I’m going to end up with one broken nail, and a giant bruise on my knee right before I have to take pictures I just know it. I’m still healing from my latest cooking mishap.. I dinged my hand on the inside of the oven.. how does that even happen? The dimensions haven’t changed.. EVER! I totally feel your pain!
I’m a klutz and so was my best friend. She was called ‘gimp’ in high school. I can hit my head on anything, the bed, furniture, car doors. I actually gave myself a concussion getting into the car in my senior year of high school and I wasn’t able to go to school for a few months.
I’m such a klutz! A week after getting engaged, I was chopping veggies for dinner and managed to chop off a tiny chunk of the tip of my left hand middle finger. FI joked that we’d have to have the tip of my finger photoshopped into our e-pics and wedding pics! Thankfully it healed, but definitely the month before the wedding…I am not allowed around anything sharp or with pointy corners!
I walk around hitting my limbs on things. I have zero spatial awareness 
Ugh, I hate umbrella mishaps! Be careful, Miss H!
I had an encounter with a large golf umbrella (yes, I was THAT persome) once. Approaching my train stop, I proceeded to close the umbrella and make my way into the door. Not realizing how long my massive umbrella was, the point slammed into the door frame & the handle into my ribs (I was holding it out in front of me). I then went flying backwards & landed on my butt/back, in a nasty CTA puddle. I ended up walking straight back homw. I had bruises for weeks. 
Mr. Library’s dad got a huge black eye playing basketball with his buddies before he married my FMIL. She was not pleased.
I feel ya in the wanting to bubblewrap yourself a month before the wedding! I’m a total klutz too!
About 2 months after moving into our house, I was walking down our steps (granted they are small triangular shaped around the corner) too quickly and fell/slid on my butt down the last 5. I thudded so hard, future hubby thought I took a header. At first the intense pain made me cry then I began to laugh bc only I could manage to fall down stairs. I ended up with a 4 inch by 1 inch bruise on my left butt cheek that looked like the corner of the first stair I landed on!
I am exactly like that! Just this morning I whacked the back of my shoulder so hard against a shelf (as I was standing up) that I now have a huge scrape (which I got THROUGH a thick t-shirt) and a very painful bruise! /Sigh
Yes! I’m so glad someone posted about this. Just yesterday, my mother called right after I had walked into the door frame.
“What happened? How could anyone manage that?” She asked.
I felt really lame, all I had to say was “I just misjudged where it was.”
I completely chose my wedding shoes in the hopes that I will not fall down trying to walk to my fiance.
It’s an umbrella MASSACRE in NYC this week! I got whacked by more than one errant umbrella (or just by people not looking where they were going). It’s rough out there!
@Mrs. Quiche– I have tears in my eyes from trying not to laught out loud at my desk. I would totally do that, and totally turn around and walk back home and get into bed. I haven’t even THOUGHT about getting injured before the wedding… one more thing to think about. Luckily I’m more likely to bruise limbs than face.
The other day I slammed my finger in the lint trap of the dryer, and then dropped the ball of lint when I grabbed the injured finger with my free hand, thus dropping the ball of lint. when I bent down to pick up said lint ball I hit my face on the corner of the washing machine. I’m oh-so-graceful.
I’m a super klutz… I’m glad I’m not the only one that smacks my head with my hair dryer!
My grandfather and my FI have a bet regarding when I trip down the aisle. Sheesh!
My grandfather and my FI have a bet regarding how long it takes me to trip down the aisle. Sheesh!
HAHAHAHA Reading all of these comments has just made my day! Who knew so many of us were klutzes?!?!?
Oh my! I’m in this bandwagon as well. I’m definitely accident prone. I was leaving work a few weeks back and had to give the parking garage attendant my parking ticket to pay. Well, I forgot to roll down my window first and fist and face punched my window HARD as I attempted to give the attendant my ticket. :-\ The attendant laughed hysterically while I was trying to find a bag large enought to cover my head.
Foundation/theater makeup is my best friend. The first time I was going to have important photos taken - my 8th grade graduation photos - I turned a handstand into a walkover. I panicked and came down straight on my face, more specifically my nose, and ended up with rug burns on my face. My mom successfully hid my shame. In high school… I ran into a door and had a bruise on my cheek. Once again mom to my rescue. My best friend’s wedding in which I was a BM. I have no idea what I did but I had a huge bruise on my arm and guess what? Our dresses were sleeveless. We used makeup to cover up the bruise and then all formal photos had us girls to the left of the bride so that my bruise wouldn’t show. Their wedding was outside so we were all advised to wear wedges. I managed to sprain my ankle before the wedding, luckily our dresses were long so I wore boots that hid and supported my wrapped ankle. I’m wearing boots for my wedding just in case. Also… I’m a spill magnet, so I’ve planned “costume” for our reception that way if something gets spilled on my dress, I have another amazing outfit waiting in the wings and no one has to feel bad about the spill. (Prior to the walk down the aisle everything but water is banned from being near me.)
