To ask your ultimate wedding guest scandal?

This was only a 'scandal' of sorts for me personally! But last year I began dating a woman who had nagged me for months to date her, I was happily single but I did like her and she seemed very keen, we talked a lot (we were part of a wider friendship group) and I talked myself into it, telling myself I was being silly, perhaps she was right and we could work up to something very good.

One of the first conversations we ever had, she'd mentioned that her little sister was to be married soon, she was the MOH and she didn't have anyone to take as a plus one. I didn't think much of it at the time but said I hoped she found one and she asked (jokingly so I thought) if I would be it. I barely knew her at the time. Anyway after we started dating naturally I agreed to be.

Turns out, that's literally ALL she wanted me for. The rest was all lies. I found out from the grapevine that she has form for this and as I am 'easy on the eye' (apparently) and good company she thought I'd be ideal. She turned cold on me days following the wedding, started changing her attitude toward me, picking me up on very small things and making them into arguments then dumped me around 10 days later...
Madness. And made me much more wary of who I believe/when to listen to my instincts!

ETA(I am a gay woman)!

Must be!

And was it Scientology?

did you not understand the Indian wedding part?!! Red is the colour they wear instead of white for wedding dresses

Thats the one.

Oh dear, I wore red to my brother's wedding 45 years ago. To be fair we had probably slept in the same bed at some stage, but not since we were about 3 and 4.

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

Not me, but years ago, someone I knew was telling me about their own wedding. Families had never met before. Turned out that brides dad had had an affair with grooms mum. Bride married her half brother. They now have two children with severe special needs.

I was at a wedding where one of the guests decided to do a few lines of coke right before dinner could start (to suppress her appetite apparently) and ended up collapsing right in front of the open buffet; supposedly the coke was laced with something which caused her to have a seizure.

Out of propriety, we were all asked to leave the hall while she received first aid and they waited for the ambulance to arrive but by the time the paramedics got there, stabilised her and got her into the ambulance over an hour had already passed. Then because she had released 3 different types of bodily fluids all over the place, the venue had to do a proper deep clean so it was nearly 2 hours before the hall could be reopened and by that time everyone had left / wandered off into the city centre in search of food as we were all really hungry (word had got back that the buffet was a write off) so that was basically the end of the wedding reception. As the buffet had just been put out when she collapsed right in front of it, the food had to be thrown away due to the risk of contamination from airborne particles so not only did the bride and groom lose all that food / money and miss out on their reception, but they also lost money on a DJ who never got to play, favours that never got given out, a photobooth that went unused and they also had to pay out to meet the minimum payment for the bar. Then the cherry on top of the non cut wedding cake was that they also got given a hefty clean up fee from the venue as well!

This would have been in the late 90s so the internet existed but wasn’t used constantly like today, i dont know where they’d got these ideas from tbh but they seemed very sure of themselves, and equally sure that of course everybody knows all the same wedding “rules” as them.

all internet myths and not recognised wedding customs whatsoever.

I have never heard that about red and green (and I’m in my 60s). I can see that it is sensible for a guest not to wear red to an Indian wedding, but otherwise I can’t see a problem.

I seem to remember hearing years ago that it used to be considered unlucky to wear green, but that was only if you were the bride.

Well, my story is pretty scandalous. I’m from Indian heritage … a cousin I had not seen for years invited by my family to my wedding - she wore her bloody wedding outfit her glam reception - red outfit - all her freaking jewellery I mean Wtaf and I’m still not over it and it’s been 17 years

Groom and his best man (also his brother) doing coke in the loos. Groom drags him by his feet onto the dance floor at 9pm. He's in full cardiac arrest screaming for help. Bride is doing cpr. Us bridesmaids try to get all the little kids outside. Ambulance arrives. Blue lights him to hospital. He died. All grooms family leaves the wedding. Police arrive. Shut off the music and place themselves outside the loos. Groom at a table crying. Bride still trying to save her wedding and dance in silence....

Married in white, you will have chosen all right.
Married in grey, you will go far away.
Married in black, you will wish yourself back.
Married in red, you’ll wish yourself dead.
Married in blue, you will always be true.
Married in pearl, you’ll live in a whirl.
Married in green, ashamed to be seen.
Married in yellow, ashamed of the fellow.
Married in brown, you’ll live out of town.
Married in pink, your spirits will sink.
