Love is a messy old thing.
And ohhhhhh my lordy, did these folks witness some wild events!
I had to drag her out of my hot tub and send her to the cab soaking wet.

Of course, we then needed confirmation from her boyfriend that she was home safe and sound.
She was 43 at my wedding.
We still talk, but not as much, and she knows exactly why.

She was jealous I was getting married, and she made the lead-up difficult.
On the day of the wedding, she lost a friend, and I gained a backbone with her.

“The first wedding I ever attended as an adult was last year.
For context I literally didnt know anyone there I was just a date for a friend who needed one.
The ceremony went well it was a lovely wedding.

Fast forward to the reception at this big estate jot down of house with a lovely garden and pool.
The mother of the groom got absolutely drunk and was becoming increasingly intense as the night went on.
Her husband had to jump in to get her out while we all averted our eyes.

It was most certainly a very eventful first wedding.”

The wife even said, ‘I fucking knew it, you bitch!’

She was escorted out, and everything went as planned.
The new wife looked SMUG.
You could literally see the ‘that bitch is FINALLY getting cut out’ running through her head."

“My cousins wifes brother got super high and drunk at her wedding reception.
He got upset about something and then decided he was going to drive home.

His dad said absolutely not and took his keys away from him.

5. told me about a wedding she attended before we met.
It was a typical Finnish summer wedding.

There was a band, a lot of people, and a lot of booze.
The venue had a cloakroom with that low desk at the front.
People left their drinks on that desk to go dancing.
Children were attending, too.
A seven-year-old boy had drank all the drinks from the desk and passed out.
He was vomiting and completely unresponsive when the ambulance arrived.
He spent the night at the hospital, and child protective services got involved.

The groom had been shagging her during the engagement, unbeknownst to the bride.
The marriage didn’t last.”

I felt so bad for her she was distraught.
They’re divorced now, but I don’t think that had anything to do with it."

“My relatives got married on July 7, 2007.
We were hushed during the cocktail hour so as not to interrupt a different ceremony that was taking place.
You couldn’t tell where one event started and the other ended.
I know the family paid top dollar, and they certainly werent informed about it.
The severs were so rushed.
It just didnt feel special.”

The child was conceived while the groom was in a relationship with his bride.
But, it turns out his other ex was also still his ‘side-piece.’
“They did still get married.
She complains she still thinks he cheats on her (he does).”

“That’s a scene straight out of a badrom-com.”

Then, she thanked her maid of honor for sleeping with her fiance the night before.
She then walked out of the church.
My parents just came home."

“The bride was about five months pregnant.
She had a shotgun wedding, as she already had a kid by someone else.
Her religious family wasnt about to see that baby be born out of wedlock, too.
It culminated in a drunk groom verbally fighting with anyone who was within a five-foot radius of him.
I left at that point.
I didnt even know these people I was my best friends plus one.
Apparently, the marriage only lasted a year.”

“I used to have a friend who owned a small hotel which operated primarily as a wedding venue.

“It was my own wedding.
I truly do not know why.
It wasn’t even a religious thing just a dumb teenage brain moment, I guess.
Everyone got food poisoning from our cheap cake literally everyone.
We spent our honeymoon in bed, throwing up.
I got calls all day from people telling me they were also throwing up.
Truly a nightmare.”

Everything about the wedding was probably the most expensive option available and required very sizable deposits.
Two whole years of effort and at least $50,000 spent was all for nothing.”

“A high school friend of mine had a shotgun wedding.
Her brother was about to graduate, possibly valedictorian.
The blow knocked out three teeth and messed up his brain badly.
He never fully recovered.”

“As the bride walked down the aisle, the organ player hit every note wrong.
My friend told me, ‘This is the only thing you will remember about this wedding.’
You could have heard a pin drop.”
As fate would have it, his second wedding was to this woman from business school.
It ended up being the cover photo of their virtual wedding album.
It was beautiful karmic justice and the wildest thing Ive ever seen at a wedding.
