We had to order pizza delivery and pay for it ourselves.

The bride’s family refused to pay for it.

You never remember the good weddings, but you never forget the bad ones.”

“My husband picked up a shift at work on our wedding night.

Dont worry, though he didnt actually end up working on our wedding night; he was just cheating.

She constantly texted me and called me to tell me how horrible of a friend I was.

Well, I was never told this, but I continued to do what I could from far away.

“A long time ago, I was invited to the wedding of a college friend.

The invitation was very fancy, so we dressed up in suits to attend.

I had a difficult time finding the place.

We arrived and found out that its in a literal horse pasture.

It smelled of manure and was an extremely hot summer day, so that made it worse.”

“The priest called the bride by the wrong name for the entire two-hour-long ceremony.

The poor bride corrected the priest each time, the first 10 times or so.

The priest was the groom’s uncle.

The groom never corrected him.

The priest just kept using the wrong name through the end of the ceremony.”

“The wedding was to take place on the East Coast.

It was huge, expensive, and had been planned for two years.

The wedding party traveled from all over to participate.

Six months later, friends are told that the couple is going to loop back and try.”

“It was my close friend’s wedding.

I flew internationally to attend and got my nails, hair, and makeup done.

I bought a $500 dress.

I made it through the ceremony.

Immediately after, I went to the bathroom and was uncontrollably vomiting and shitting.

I had to ask staff for help.

They ended up closing off the bathroom because vomit was all over the walls.

I had to exit the party covered in my own filth.”

“I was all set to be the best man for my friend’s wedding.

It was going to be a small wedding at their church, with a lunch afterward.

I am not friends with any of those people anymore, and thank God.”

“It was my own.

I was trapped in an elevator with the groom for hours the night prior.

The wedding commissioner was two hours late and didnt have a phone.

I rented a boat to get married and cruise around on it.

It was an old icebreaker with lots of character, and I planned all my decor around it.”
