To ask your ultimate wedding guest scandal?

My mum hired an escort to accompany her to my wedding. Total cringefest

Ah, well she obviously wanted to be asked to be your bridesmaid and was VERY bitter that you hadn't asked her. Weirdo. Some people just have no shame.

A wedding I was at my friend shagged the groom's first cousin in the toilets at the reception, I went in to pee and heard them in the next cubicle and legged it 😂.They are now married with two kids so a happy ending for them!

Also I wasn't at this wedding but I heard from my friend that her best friend was one of 12 bridesmaids at a wedding where the groom's speech was basically just slagging off the bride's entire family, really brutal. The bride then got up and stormed off crying, ran out of the hotel and up the busy city centre street (it was a wedding at a posh central hotel). The 12 bridesmaids (who were in white jumpsuits - bride's choice) ran after the bride who was screaming and crying. I think they managed to catch her, corner her and persuade her to return to the wedding but the atmosphere was totally ruined.

Tbf, I think your new MIL looking miserable all day would be the problem, no matter what she was wearing 😂 if you’re not intending to cause offence, I’m sure that would come across!

It was my nicest dress. I still have it and I fully intend to lose enough weight to get back into it but will take note and not wear it to any weddings😂

It was 15 yrs ago. I also have no idea what any of my guests wore (or care either)..but obviously I'm going to remember what this particular friend wore as it was a mini wedding dress!...so very inappropriate

Groom was marrying the best friend of a girl he was obsessed with for years, slept with her etc, they were together because said girl wasn't really into him so palmed him off to bff.

Even weirder this girl was maid of honour who'd had slept with the groom's best man and half of the grooms friendship group who were in attendance at the wedding. She also has weird attachments to these men even though she has a boyfriend, including my own husband who she still tries to initiate contact with occasionally. We've spent many times laughing at her messages.

At the wedding she was always looking over at us while her poor man sat looking glum. At one point she cornered my husband for a hug and told him how a song always reminds her of him 🤮

Maybe not scandalous but a massive ICK 🤣

Even uf they decided to stay married after they found out, it was very irresponsible to have children.

Apparently so, my son married last year in a green suit.

I guess the fay are just sexist buggers.

Is it OK for the groom then? My DH married me in a dark green suit, and we were married for 47 years until I lost him.

This is why I asked, as I know some people just like black and especially as a “evening do” wouldn’t look out of place at all, so was wondering if it was made clear to the PP what the SIL’s intentions were. As I said, a friend of mine is much disliked by her MIL who wore black to their wedding with a fully miserable face all day by all accounts, so in her case it was deliberate. But I can imagine someone wearing black just because their nicest dress is black, ifykwim!

I wore black to my friends wedding because I'd lost weight and could get back into the dress. I'd never heard the "in mourning" statement until this thread.

Can honestly say I was so pleased for her. Her ex was a twit and the man she was marrying is absolutely one of the best, they were and still are so happy.

Drunken wedding party and guests
Stomach- turningly crude speeches
Loud behaviour
Slanging matches
Actual fights
Gross behaviour at the buffet
Sex and drugs in the lavvies
Damage to venue
Police being called

HTH 🤣

Only one bloke objected to this?!

Was it definitely a “I’m in mourning” statement? Because a friend of mine says she always wears black to weddings as it suits her and it’s not intended to offend (although knowing people could take offence makes it a bit insensitive imo). I do know someone whose MIL wore black to their wedding and that definitely seemed to be a comment! 😬

My friend and her husband were guests at a wedding (friends of the bride). Part way through he took his ring off and went outside and took one of the bride’s friends numbers, told her he was single and KISSED HER

Crikey, I thought it was bad enough when the parents of one of my guests just “happened” to decide to go for a drink in the public bar at the evening reception venue of my wedding, then decided they would just come in and say hello before casually wandering over to the buffet table and helping themselves.

Boy, her mother sure could pack away those vol au vents!

I agree. The only thing missing is a punch up.

I was at one where the groom's sister wore an actual wedding dress. It was off the peg from Monsoon, but it was unmistakeably a wedding gown, it had lace and a train and everything!

Oh I remembered a really embarrassing one- my friend got married and her dad hadn’t prepared a speech at all but held forth for ages talking about how he wishes she was more like me- from birth. It was so awful. We never spoke about it and I wanted the ground to swallow me. I’ve also avoided her dad ever since.

Holy shit! How embarrassing for her.

An American friend who lived in Europe married someone from that country. They had one wedding in each country. The MIL of my friend recounted a traditional myth about son who tore apart his mother’s heart and that his mother still forgave him. At the American one, she wore her wedding dress when she walked her son down the aisle. Then made a speech at the dinner about how the Americans ancestors were cowards and how her ancestors were superior. They got divorced 2 years later.

SIL (dhs brothers wife) wore black to our wedding. Fucking bitch. There's lots of other rude stuff they have done and how they have treated me so I don't see them anymore.

This is fairly tame compared to some stories on here, but it's stuck with me over 25 years later.

Fairly large wedding reception, probably 100+ guests. At the end of the meal, just after the speeches, the bride's sister (also a bridesmaid), by this time quite well refreshed, grabs the microphone and announces that her purse, with a substantial sum of money in it, has been stolen out of her bag, and nobody's going anywhere and there'll be no band and no dancing etc. until it's returned.

Of course, nothing happened, and the purse didn't miraculously appear. There was a 5 minute stand off where everyone just sat there while the sister occasionally harangued us. It ended when the groom's brother, who was sitting at our table, went up to her and said he would personally give her the cash amount if she would just shut up, and asked the band to start playing. Luckily it didn't derail the whole reception.

We found out later the missing purse was found...in the sister's hotel room. It had never been in her bag in the first place.

Father of the bride spend his speech discussing his divorce and father of the groom (alcoholic) was paralytically drunk and had to be removed by some relatives. Mother of the groom gave the bride a huge dressing down in the middle of the reception over their inadequate hotel room ...the family fallout afterwards was awful.

The couple are no longer married...

Hmm, Jamelia and whats his name must have been about then. This is going to bug me!
