To ask your ultimate wedding guest scandal?

I was once accidentally the scandalous guest.

In my early twenties I went to my first wedding and wore a 50s style black dress covered in little pictures of red cherries with green leaves. Wore it with red accessories and thought I looked very cool and retro.

Found out on the day that the bride’s family was very traditional, and strongly believed that wearing black to a wedding meant that you were mourning it, wearing red meant you’d previously slept with the groom, and wearing green meant that you were envious of the wedding.

Add to that the fact that I wore pictures of cherries (and cherry earrings) and they concluded that I’d lost my virginity to the groom, wished I was marrying him, and had chosen to publicly announce these facts through my outfit.

I have been very careful with wedding guest outfits since then!

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....

Oh goodness this is so sad to read, I hear it’s common for long lost siblings to find each other attractive. This is of course a sad situation in that they weren’t to know :(

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!

University friends of dh. Groom had been with same woman (Cathy) throughout uni, but broken up the year after. I met dh just after. G Meets and subsequently marries bride (Becca).Mates group not keen on her but are civil. Who apparently is the spit of gf1. All of the mates are telling themselves "Don't call her Cathy"We get through service; photos, reception Phew. Then bride is stood chatting to the women in our group and foot in mouth me goes "It's been a lovely day, you look gorgeous Cathy" Silence descends. "I Expected it of them(dismissive wave to mates)but you never even met the fucking woman" and swept off. I felt terrible, but they felt I'd lifted the curse and relaxed. Marriage didn't last.

Red or white wine?! 🤣

Yeah, a supposedly good friend of mine (since high school) wore something similar (not off the shoulder but cream lace). I was really pissed off with her but to this day she doesn't know I was upset....maybe one day I should tell her?

People like that love a good moan. You probably made their year.

I've worn a lot of black and white to weddings, a monochrome Jane Norman polka dot dress was my default for weddings when I was 25 and a size 6/8.

A member of the bridal party who did not know anyone on the groom's side had a glass of wine thrown over her for no apparent reason.

Well, it turns out that earlier in the evening she'd snogged a man who turned out to be the father of the groom and the woman who threw the wine was his wife!

A big fight ensued with people stepping in to break it up.

We didn't discover the full story until days later.

Omg!

I’m amazed that a man managed to get 4 women to do this.

was he incredibly handsome / charming?

I just can’t envision women ever doing that.

What makes a wedding chavvy?

At least two, I didn’t know this either!
