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

They were a staple challenge on the early series of "Bake Off" which is how they got popular in the UK.

You drank too much the night before, you nearly knocked over the bride, you left the church then came back in whilst the service was taking place, you cried through the reception then left it to go to your room, you left your children in other people's care, your ex had to miss his brother's speech to try and stop you being so dramatic, you think your mil's day wasn't affected by your behaviour and you think everyone else apart from you had a lovely day ...oh yeah, you're an absolute peach!

They were 'the thing' a few years ago, Aldi even sold one I think, you had to assemble it yourself!

Friend of the groom whipped his penis out, put it in a bread roll, buttered it and went round the tables offering it to old ladies.

@SabrinaThwaite sorry it wasn't, was the notorious '5th Ave' in Manchester. I remember you used to pay £2 I think to get in, but you'd be given a drinks token on entry which would get you a cheap bottle of beer and a vk lemon and a plastic pint glass so you could start with a power shandy

At my first attempt at getting married my MIL to be declared that she didn't like me and I was only after DH to be for his money
I earned nearly double his wage and had my own house and he had a massive gambling debt that they knew of but had all kept from me
We didn't say "I do"

Oh for goodness sake! The poster was quite clearly accepting that she was in the wrong in her original post. I’m quite sure it didn’t happen last week and I’m sure it doesn’t happen every day. It was a mistake. It was a lapse of judgement. It was a fuck up. And this is supposed to be a light hearted thread for everybody to enjoy. And I definitely have been enjoying it, especially as I’m stuck at home unwell but posts and judgement like yours really do take the fun out of it all. Get off your high horse.

This one?

I wonder why it was then at the wedding that it happened when they obviously knew each other as colleagues already - or was she a colleague of the bride?

maybe the romance of the day and everyone dressed up?

Wow! So stuffing confetti down the bride’s top must be a thing. I thought I was the only one. How utterly bizarre!

Not a problem at the reception and not randy like the other comments but....

My friends from high school were finally getting married. It was great on the lead up to the wedding which was delayed for 2 years because her grandmother and aunts needed to hand embroider the dress as her family was Ukrainian and very traditional. Despite this and getting married in the Eastern Orthodox Church (so very Catholic) it had been agreed that the service would be all in English as the groom wasn't Ukrainian or even Catholic. The priest would do one blessing in Ukrainian and then the standard English ceremony lasting about 15 minutes.

Come the day of the wedding the priest was called away to give last rites to some old boy and a different priest agreed to do the ceremony. Two hours worth of wailing and chanting in Ukrainian and Latin complete with waving incense about. We told our groom friend that we would vouch for him if he wanted an annulment on the basis that he didn't know what was happening throughout the ceremony as apparently the first part was baptising him as a Catholic.

I decided not to have bridesmaids or flower girls at my wedding. One of my cousins was very offended by this. On the day she turned up with her daughter dressed in a flower girl dress. She even had a little bouquet. Her son was in a 3 piece suit, complete with tails😳. Moving on to thr reception, her brother, who has rsvp'd to say he couldn't make it, turned up with his wife and their 3 dc. No place settings because he'd said they weren't coming. To top it off, he'd come straight from his shift as a bus driver, and was still in his uniform...

I was at a wedding, where the groom fell massively in love with a colleague, who was also a guest.
I saw this, it was really like a lightning strike.
The couple marrying had been together for 8 years.
It was incredibly sad.

Oh, he'd have had his reasons. It's just that the wider family have not been informed about it. Maybe the dad didn't even tell his daughter in case the reason was even more upsetting. Maybe he couldn't stand his new son-in-law, but kept his thoughts to himself and his daughter had no idea.

Maybe he has a secret health condition that he hasn't even told his daughter about, never mind the wider family. Or a secret alcohol problem.

Maybe he has severe anxiety and just had to run, and the daughter isn't aware of the extent of it because her dad doesn't want her to know, but he put himself through the main father of the bride duties for her sake.

Maybe his other half had just told him she wanted to split up or regretted marrying him (or whatever other awful revelations could prompt someone to just leave suddenly).

In families, you just never know what's going on in someone's life unless you're living in their home and witnessing the day to day goings on for yourself.

YOU don't sound like a nice person, did you have to hijack all the attention on a wedding that wasnt yours?

Well actually excuse you , I AM a nice person .
I didn’t hijack all the attention on xbils wedding , I spent most of my time in hotel room !
Everyone had a lovely time & I was a sorry lady .
Jeez , relax would you , there’s a lot more interesting stories than mine on here ..

Do tell?

A very well known (BBC type) guest spat at the venue manager who asked him to extinguish his cigar. (Very notable/landmark type of venue). Then followed with a sea of expletives, telling said venue manager they would have no job in the morning, as the world’s best security escorted him downstairs and left him on the floor, external to the site.
Venue manager was a much younger me. I remained there for a further two and a half years & received the biggest box of chocolates I had ever seen from Fortnum’s with a huge bunch of flowers from the happy couple on the Monday morning. Turned out they barely knew this guest but had caved under pressure from the father of the Groom.
Still chuckle to myself when I see this guest on tv behaving as if butter wouldn’t melt 😂

Was the church Catholic or Eastern Orthodox? Not the same thing.

So what happened @PandorasSockBoxdid the original couple get married? Did he run off with his new love? We need details.
