This probably isn't scandalous enough but at my friends wedding her brothers best friend and her former family au pair (who lived with them when friend was a child and used to also babysit for said friend) were caught shagging in some woodland behind the venue.

That was more ick than scandalous though. Both adults by then of course but bleurgh! She was married with kids too.

I'm confused. Is there something wrong with wearing a red dress and jewelry to a wedding?

i think that’s what brides traditionally wear to Indian weddings.
the equivalent of a guest wearing their own white wedding dress to a traditionally British wedding

I think it is like someone turning up in a white wedding dress complete with veil and bouquet.

We had two people turn up to the sit down reception who had not been invited, nor catered for nor on the seating plan. They shoved themselves onto a table and ate and drank plenty. Bless them :(
I also heard my cousin ask a member of the wait staff if he 'wanted to come outside and say that mate '

My DM and her DP had a huge argument and he walked out.
He accused my DM of flirting with my FIL which was boloney.

At my friend’s wedding, the groom and best man (his brother) had a stand up fight after the groom discovered that he’d slept with his ex-wife while they were married years prior. God knows how he found out on his wedding day!
