PORTLAND (NEWS CENTER Maine) -- Thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours go into making a wedding perfect. But it only takes seconds to shatter the illusion, totally free of charge.
A tipsy uncle or cranky flower girl can raise eyebrows or hackles, depending on how badly they misbehave. At the time when they happen, such antics seem like major disasters. But years later, they become funny and cherished family stories.

That is the pressure facing England's royal family as they get ready to celebrate the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on May 19.
If they need any reassurance that life goes on after a wedding fail, this is the place to find it.
