“The guests were stunned, and the bride broke into tears.
And yep, they later divorced as expected.”
Let’s talk about weddings.

Other times, they can be absolute disasters.
So here are some nuptial-day horror stories to celebrate the wedding season being in full swing.
My uncle was convinced that my siblings and I would be horribly behaved at the service and the reception.

We were separated from everyone because he feared what we might say or do…"

He did a very um…wavy hip thrust first, then launched onto the pole.
It ended on the floor.

Some people just shouldn’t drink."

“I was a guest at my sorority sister’s wedding (I will name her Amanda).

We shared a room in the sorority house, so we were close.
“My wife and I went to a relative’s wedding many years ago.
The church wedding was simple and fine.

The reception was in a hall; I don’t remember if a band or DJ existed.
The drinks were fine.
They asked everyone to sit at their tables, and the announcer called the table numbers.

A row of staff served the buffet, so guests didn’t just dig in.
The main course was pre-sliced turkey.
We were getting hungry!…”

“…Finally, they called our table, and the serving trays were empty!
And a spoonful of vegetables.
The turkey was long gone.

To add to the disappointment, the bus people were clearing tables of plates still laden with food!
Lots of slices of turkey and two big scoops of potatoes are all floating in gravy!
We stayed until the end and ate the wedding cake.

We stopped At McDonald’s on our way back to the hotel.

We wanted it to be a small wedding.'

I was so surprised that I just said: ‘Of course not, I understand.’
But then I sat down to think.
It’s one thing to ask someone in town to pop by and see you get married.

No costs are incurred (beyond a metro ticket), and no gift is expected.
I made up an excuse and did not go.
And I never spoke to him again.”

“They ran out of food at a Jewish wedding.
This is pretty much a mortal sin in Judaism.
She and her boyfriend wanted to party in their hotel room for the night.
She never should have agreed to be in the wedding party!
I was shocked as I had always thought she had more class than that!”
There were giggles from the first few rows of guests.
Yes, I am that girl.
You cant take me anywhere.”
“The grooms ‘friends’ refused to leave.
Well, the reception went well, except the groom’s friends wouldnt leave at the end.
Except for one…”
“She wore white.
Dressing up like a bride is on the far side of tacky.”

“Many years ago now, I attended a smaller wedding.
The bride wore a veil over her face in a more traditional way.
During this tender moment, an older gentleman in the church loudly said, ‘Open fer biznuss!’
It was very cringy.”
“The reception where I had to pay for my own food.
Now, Im fine with having a cash bar.
We walked in and grabbed some beers, tossed some cash, and a nice tip.
It was one of the bridesmaids.
She was dancing late in the evening, and she had been drinking for most of the night.
The dress was damaged, but the bride was able to keep partying until she and the groom left.
The guests were stunned, and the bride broke into tears.
And yep, they later divorced as expected.”
“We got married at a location two hours from home.
My husband and I went a couple of days before the wedding to prepare and relax.
His grown daughter was bringing his mother the day before the wedding.

“About 30 years ago, I was the plus-one on a wedding invitation.
The bride spoke up…”
17.
“The bride did not show up.
The guests were at the church, along with the bride’s and grooms families.
The bridesmaids were missing, but the groom and the grooms men were waiting.
For one and a half hours.
Apparently, she used the airplane tickets for the honeymoon to elope with someone else.
We all left the church somewhat rattled and felt very bad for the groom.
However, that was only the brides first wedding.
Almost 40 years later, she is on to husband number six.
I did not attend any of the other subsequent, (elaborate) weddings.”
