To ask for examples of the worst behaviour you've seen from an adult at a wedding?

Wow! His wife had four children with him before this disastrous wedding. He started the fire directly under the room where she was sleeping. I can't imagine they remained married for long.

The groom’s speech - him saying how beautiful and wonderful his wife is and how much he loves her etc etc and someone heckling ‘ you said that about Cindy’ Cindy being his first ( now x wife). 😅

”adults and not children spoil weddings so the no children st weddings brigade don't have a leg to stand on really.”
People have a right to decide whether they want children at their wedding or not, and they don’t need an excuse for it. Besides, those who behave inappropriately at such events will do so whether kids are there or not.

Exactly. An example of things that never happened.

This one?

Wasn't there but heard about it afterwards: Friend of the groom was taking the photos. He took more of his own wife than of anyone else.

Bride's (bride aged 35) parents had split up and divorced years ago, but they seemed to get on OK and bride had a close relationship with both. Turned sour during wedding preparation as expenses going up and bride wanted more and more money from father (my brother) for which he'd already taken a loan out for agreed costs....wedding day comes, she gets her mum's boyfriend (together a year!) to walk her down the aisle at the last minute, seats her dad three rows back, and her mum's boyfriend to do a speech alongside her - which mentioned thanks to everyone but her dad, despite him having paid for the whole thing. He left quietly after the reception, and she told him he had 'ruined her day' by leaving...

Best thread ever!

I'm guessing the DJs tried to end early because of the fathers trying to start fights on the dance floor? Who knew being a wedding DJ was such a dangerous calling!

My DSis second wedding, her now ex was a graphic designer who worked in London with a “creative arty” network of colleagues and friends. His best friend turned up in an orange boiler suite. Another arrive in a camper van which they parked up in the hotel carpark. As the evening do started exBIL friends “popped out” to the camper van which was being used like an ice cream van for drugs. It was a lovely wedding but I was in charge of my nieces and DS was just turned one so we were able to leave before it became interesting. The “ice cream van” van was cleverly parked as to not draw too much attention but we left via the rear entrance so had to walk past it. There was a heavy cloud of weed hanging around it.

Her third wedding, she’s hoping this one is the last and we have nicknamed her Liz, was brilliant. Same guests from her side but the ice cream van they hired served ice cream. It did provoke many comments. The venue was basically a farm and there was a bit of a festival vibe, culminating in a very drunken silent disco. However most of the guests are seasoned drinkers so no embarrassing moments. I did get flung around the dance floor by my DS and DN. It was first family event where they could all drink legally and they went for it.

GuestZilla!

@katseyes7ha that reminded me … a snotty far flung English relative let their toddler start screaming in church … unfortunately for them, they were at a west coast Scottish wedding so about sixty people turned round and told her firmly to “get to” and one furious aunt scooped
up toddler and marched them out while Binty McGinty flapped alongside helplessly saying “don’t touch my child” “tough shite ya cunt” was the reply!

Ha – it was a fun guessing game!

Oh, and once sat through a wedding, as a teenager, knowing that the MOB had shagged the groom the night before. MOB was my then bf’s mum’s friend.

My husband was at a wedding (he’s in the industry) in a beautiful castle. The groom was refused more alcohol after the wedding had finished, so he started a fire in the building where his family and friends were sleeping. He destroyed a wing of the castle and was later jailed.

No way!!!!!

😱😱😱

Didn't see, but was told about it.

The groom wasn't able to get into the bathroom because the bride's male family members occupied it for 4 hours with showers, shaves, hair, everything so that they looked good and laughing that they weren't going to let him in.

When he finally got in with 20 minutes to spare, they turned the water off at the stopcock and shouted through the door that if he didn't come out right now, they were going to tell his fiancee that he'd changed his mind after being caught with a stripper on his stag (which he hadn't gone to because they'd told him he was going to be handcuffed naked to a lamp post).

He panicked, came out, his suit was missing from his room, nearly burst into tears, then had his suit thrown at him in a bin bag - and had to get dressed still unwashed & in a creased suit because his fiancee's biggest uncle had turned up to collect him and was hammering on the door to get a move on, as he was keeping everybody waiting.

The marriage didn't last.

And where did he jam it?

@FlappyThingdid he butter the roll, or the penis? I feel this is vital info.

I only thought Schama because of the clues OP gave. The OP got the details wrong, as David Starkey is not a knight.

For what it's worth, I interviewed Simon Schama once and he gave every appearance of being a genuinely pleasant person

OP thank you for starting this thread...its taken me all day to read every single post. Most are just awful, so many alcohol or drug induced fights etc...the mind boggles!!! Shame there's a couple of PP who want to argue about whether a pool table could be 'thrown' out of a window tho! 🤣
@mnhq can you put this in classics?!

What?

Umm... if that was supposed to be for me as your previous post was, I'm afraid you're mistaken, it was not me who was replying to you this time. (As I'm not TheKateColumbo)😁
