A wedding planner has shared a horrific story about the time she was forced to help a bride who "gambled on a fart and lost in a big way" after she ruined her $15,000 wedding dress in a disgusting way.

Getting an upset stomach can be mortifying in many situations - unless you're in the privacy of your own home, preferably alone, experiencing severe diarrhea can be pretty inconvenient and often humiliating.

There's probably no day worse to get the squits than your wedding day, however, as one bride found out - with horrifying consequences.

The event planner took to Reddit to explain exactly what happened after a bride chanced a fart - which wasn't just a fart - and ended up ruining her expensive wedding dress in the middle of her big day.

She explained that the wedding had been between two "fairly wealthy" families, and the bride in question had chosen to have a "shabby chic" aesthetic by having the reception at a historic barn on the family's property, which had already caused many issues such a needing to be cleaned as well as extra tents to be set up to accommodate the guests, and - crucially - no running water or electricity, which was solves with generators, tubs of water for catering, and hidden portable toilets.

Everything had been going fine despite the bride being something of a "bridezilla", however, things started to go wrong just before the professional photos were about to be taken, which had all been scheduled in to the carefully-timed day.

The woman explained: "I was speaking to the caterer when I happened to glance over and see the most curious blend of expressions pass over the brides face, and she frantically waved down my assistant.

"A few moments later, my headset beeped on, and my assistant said 'we have an issue'. It turns out that the bride had gambled on a fart and lost in a big way."

We're not going to spell it out to you, but you can imagine what went down under that dress was not pretty.

The planner revealed that the bride was wearing a "huge, full ball gown, with a fitted, bones strapless top in a sort of embellished mesh" with a shaper garment, hoops, and slips underneath, which meant there was no way they'd be able to get her into one of the portable toilets, given they'd struggled to get her and the dress into a limo to get there in the first place.

She continued: "Having her use a portajohn meant one of us would have to get personal. That was my assistant's job. I radioed to everyone to expect a fifteen minute delay, and they headed towards the tent.

"The fifteen minutes pass. Then twenty. Finally, my earpiece beeps on. 'The previous issue is more than we anticipated.' I ran over to find my assistant looking horrified."

After running over to where the crisis was unfolding, the planner found out that the bride had been using some health shakes to get rid of last-minute bloating, which had combined with the cocktails she'd been drinking as well as her "fairly decent breakfast" to create a pretty horrific reaction in her body.

She added: "The substance that had come out of her body as a result defied explanation. It was slimy, oily even, with stringy bits and the consistency of hair gel.

"Not only had it been a rather profound accident, but the smell was unrivaled. Generally, a substance no human body should emit.

"But the thing that set it over the edge was that the shaper the bride wore was a latex deal that came down over the thighs and up to her bra. Waterproof, the poo had just sort of filled it, like a water balloon of horror. My assistant had opened up the snap crotch and just released the evil trickling down the bride's thighs."

The poor assistant - who we'd hope later received a handsome tip as some sort of compensation from the bride - "quickly sealed it back up" as she and the bride "vainly tried to wipe up the goo, dry, with toilet paper", which only ended up spreading it around more.

She added: "Now I have a shell-shocked assistant and a crying bride. You can smell her four feet away. The bride is just flipping out that she's making her guests wait, that she has a cheorographed dance waiting to happen, and she needs to be introduced NOW.

"I'm just looking at her manicured nails. Residue of diarrhea are just embedded in her nail bed. I start trying to scrape the poo out with a fabric stain wipe, while the bride insists that the show must go on, immediately."

The planner eventually agreed that the poonado would "have to wait" and the show must go on.

After the bride was introduced, she noted that the groom "looked vaguely disconcerted by his new wife's odor", but made her assistant distract him until they could take to the floor to dance.

Of course, things still didn't get any better as the woman added: "Introductions happen, the dance starts, and we find some fresh horror.

"The dance was a choreographed affair, and as the groom spun his bride around, hand on her waist, he is squishing the poo up the insides of the waist trainer, up and out the back waistband.

"To our horror, we watch as a oily stain spread across the mid back of the gown. As we are still cringing from this, the groom sets his hand firmly in the middle of the poo stain."

She added that "action had to be taken" the moment the couple left the dance floor as the assistant warned her the stain was spreading and that she could smell the foul odor all the way to where she was standing by the DJ booth.

Given there was no proper running water to even wash their hands, things got even more grim as she revealed: "They were cutting the cake now. They were feeding the cake to each other, both now with s**t-stained fingers. Each was looking downright repulsed."

After the pair left the dancefloor, the planner had someone rush the groom some wet napkins while they shut down the support tent for the bride and procured some clean water from the caterers to try and mop up the mess.

"She walked in to find me in dish gloves and a poncho, like American Psycho. The five minutes, I was sponging down a sobbing, naked bride, while I questioned every life decision that led to this point," the planner admitted.

"The diarrhea was everywhere, spread in a thin layer across her body. It may be the most disgusting thing I've ever dealt with. With her clean, I threw away the waist shaper, and scrubbed down the $ 15k wedding gown back in a plastic basin. The inner lining was a loss, and I cut it out completely."

After cleaning up the gown as best as possible, the bride was offered a Xanaz and returned to the parts "little worse for wear, except for missing her dinner", leaving the support tent "smelling like a sewer" and closed for the rest of the day.

She added: "The groom was a sport, never directly saying anything, but asking if we could cancel the garter toss as he didn't really want to go under her skirt," which - let's be honest - is fair enough.

Despite the mortifying incident, the photos still turned out "beautiful" and were even featured in a magazine, where thankfully readers were shielded from the smell and therefore unaware of what had happened under that expensive gown.

If you've ever had something go wrong on your wedding day and it felt like the end of the world, rest assured it - clearly - could have been much, much worse, as this poor bride found out.
