And while I love love, I also unfortunately love drama.
Here are some of the wild stories people had to share.
“It was an overcast day and had rained earlier, but the weather was clearing up.
The bride and groom went to take some photos after the ceremony.
Her dress had mud splatter all the way up to her shoulder.
I felt so bad for her.”
“I used to be a wedding registrar.
I conducted one wedding where the brides father had passed away the year before.
The ceremony was held outside in a venues walled garden.

The bride gently fed the wedding cake to her new husband.
The groom shoved cake at his new bride’s face so hard that it broke one of her teeth.
He kept pushing her until she tripped and fell over backward.
The groom’s father then began to beat the living shit out of his own son.”
“Outdoor summer wedding in Texas.
The groom’s 90-plus-year-old grandmother died during the reception.
They found out when she couldn’t be roused for family pictures.”

“My boyfriend’s oldest brother’s wedding.
One of his friends got plastered, lost control of his bowels, and shat himself.
On his shoes.”
“Went to a wedding where everything went well.
Got to the reception, and the alcohol was flowing.
My husband and I drank and got on the dance floor.
The groom’s side was very proper, while the bride’s was quite the opposite.
He motions for everyone to dump the dance floor and cues the DJ.
Madonnas ‘Justify My Love’ starts playing as the cousin starts crawling and rolling on the floor while lip-synching.
It was easily the most awkward moment while everyone stood there watching his overly sexual performance.
The song finally ends and its dead silence.
I will never forget this moment.”

Couldn’t even be bothered to turn around and say hi to any of the guests.
He just sat at the bar, eyes fixed on the TV the whole time.
Fuck all of you!
Needless to say, that marriage lasted all of a week or two."
“The bride’s grandfather died while she was walking down the aisle.
The ambulance was there in less than five minutes, but the paramedics called it after resuscitation failed.
No exaggeration, the time between Granddad hitting the floor and the ceremony restarting was less than 45 minutes.
I did not attend the reception, but I heard from others that it was a rager.”

“The bride used old film strips from movie edits/castoffs for decor in the table centerpieces.
Flowers and film strips at a quirky fun wedding…looked great, right?
She had picked up the box for free and didnt really look at it.
Some of the strips were from schlocky sci-fi nonsense.
Most of them, however, were porn.”
The ceremony went off OK.
The grooms mother gave a few killing looks, but nothing was said."
“She was sitting at a different table when the bridesmaids brought around pieces of the wedding cake.
She told them she didnt want any.
“The grooms mother shouted, ‘I told you I dont want any fucking wedding cake!’
The grooms mother jumped up, slapped the bridesmaid, and others joined in, defending their chosen side.
“The groom and his best man stopped the music, stopped the brawling, and split everyone up.
Thenhe said, ‘Thats it.
The wedding’s over.
Thank you all for coming.
And Mom, I never want to see you again.
‘He then grabbed the bride by the hand and walked out.
My SIL’s husband decided it was time for them to leave in case things kicked off again.”

“Wedding in upstate Georgia.
They still laugh about it to this day, but it was pretty bad at the time.
It was my wife’s niece.
She handled it with grace.
We have it on tape, and we pull it out during their yearly anniversary party.”
“The groom showed up an hour late, and his tux did not fit him at all.
Not to be outdone, the groom starts to look unwell.
He passes out, falling down a small set of stairs.
Upon regaining consciousness, he runs out of the small church out the back.
Ten minutes go by, then 20.
He returns with his tux shirt pulled out, unbuttoned, and wide open.
He returns to the bride, and they finish the ceremony with him like that.”

“Wedding of a guy I worked with.
A fight broke out, and the groom and his friend went to jail.”
“A friend of mine caused some drama at her own wedding because she wasn’t drinking champagne.

“Went to a wedding, and they ran out of food for the last two tables.
We had to order pizza delivery, and the brides family didnt offer to pay.”
“My friend’s wedding.
She showed up 25 minutes late.
I’m talking hard.
“His sister looked just about ready to murder her.
Finally,another family member got up and very quickly ushered her away.

“Back in the ’90s, I was in the band at a wedding with two big Irish families.
She was ruined and crying.
Her father walked up and coldcocked the groom with a one-punch knockout.
The groom’s father then charged and started fighting with the bride’s father.
The whole place erupted after that.”
“The maid of honor had sex with the bride’s father in the groomsmen’s bathroom.
They were both married.
Not to each other.

“The bride was struggling with nerves, so the bridesmaids kept giving her shots.
