Terrible wedding behaviour.

Have a friend who used to work as a waiter to get himself through college and was working at a wedding, said it was going well until the speeches, when the groom stood up and said ' and to my beautiful wife, thank you for being an utter slag and shagging the best man last night' turned on his heels and left - apparently the place erupted !!!

you could always namechange, flibberty...

Oh and the perimenopausal flooding? Unless I am supposed to go about every day for several months with half a pack of towels stuffed in my knickers, there is no way to even predict when its going to happen.

Normal periods for a few months, nothing for 5, 7, 9. 3 weeks and then WOOSH.

At least when I just had heavy periods I had some idea when one was coming along and could prepare! I am just dreading disasters like the one mentioned upthread and feel the humiliation in advance of any unforeseen and uncontrolled bodily function that others might view as disgusting. Don't judge until its happened to you.

back on topic though, can't possibly post anything from sil's or my own sisters weddings last year as I would be outed within about 10 mins.

Brother's second wedding was a charmer. My family hadn't met SIL's family before - turned out this was deliberate as DB guessed we all wouldn't get along. SIL was heavily pregnant and money was tight so it was just the registry do and some photos outside, then DB and SIL went off with their DS for a family dinner. That bit was fine, don't blame them at all.

But my family and SIL's family did not hit it off well. SIL's dad took all the photos with a flashy camera he couldn't actually use and then and kept us out of most of them. SIL's mum kept screaming at nephew to stay still in the photos. He was 3! (Poor lad is generally kept in the house all day every day anyway because of SIL worrying about things, so he went loopy over the big outside space he was suddenly released into). SIL's two younger, late teen sisters were dressed... Well, as a previous poster has mentioned, the lack of either a bra or underknackers was blatantly obvious on one of them, and if she had bent down in that dress we would have been in for an eyeful. Two sisters spent the whole wedding ceremony trying to insist that nephew liked them more than he liked us and generally tried to keep him away from us.

And throughout it all I was about 3m pregnant with HG and had to keep nipping off to either be sick or try and eat half a biscuit Probably best I am only in a few photos, I look distinctly green...

Lovely day!

I forgot the most recent one. My al got married, love day fab evenig until another pal announced while the bride was having her hair doe that morning the groom was having sex with her. Marriage was annulled this week.

I almost forgot, I was at another wedding of a uni mate a few years back, everything was fantastic, the location, the ceremony, the food, the other guests. It was not some over the top £30k effort, just a perfectly pitched modest wedding. A whole gang of us, mates of the groom from uni, were sat at a table at the back, all getting a bit merry but nothing too messy. Anyway, one of the girls at our table had dated the groom for a few months while they were students, which was literally over ten years previously and had since remained friends. We were all there listening to the speeches and the last to speak was the groom, it was all the usual stuff, thanking the hotel staff, welcoming the new in laws to the family etc before finally turning to the bride to sign off his speech with the expected ?I am so lucky to have you as a wife? bit. As he spilled out his heart felt words to his new wife he uttered the phrase ?I have never loved anyone as much as you? to which the girl at our table shouts out at the top of her voice ?YOU FUCKING LIAR????..stunned silence ensues??fair play to the groom, he just retorted with a dead pan ?Thank you for that contribution Tanya??..before continuing his speech, we all pissing ourselves laughing

Mine are quite tame by comparision

Firstly as a 10 year Bridesmaid to a cousin, I go to the house at 11am as pre-arranged to get ready. There is no food offered, and wedding is mid afternoon. After being dragged off the second we get to the reception for another hour of photographs (as only tacky 80's photos could get - think through brandy glass couple type) Im nearly fainting on my feet. Eventually get to the reception, where my gran rants that children should be the last to be fed, luckily my mother ignored her as realised we hadnt been fed all day.

At my wedding, various cousins not only dont accept my invite, but get their mum to ring my mum to say they cant come the week before the wedding. Day itself was fine, but had trusted my friends with our video camera, which I then see after our honeymoon that between the afternoon and evening part, they had taken the camera and themselves on a pubcrawl of the local pubs and basically invited any strangers to the evening do (luckily no one took them up on the offer). To top it off, they are videod trying to set up a "you've been framed" style set up of hitting each other on the back with food trays - one of these guys is now a head of history at a secondary school.

Not terrible but always chuckle as we went for breakfast the next morning at the hotel and met a group of friends, DH's BM asks if he managed to consumate the mariage yet, before DH could even respond, another married male mate said "not everyone can do it on their wedding night" his wife went bright red - we werent sure if it was embaressment or anger

I think Libra's story wins hands down but there are some shockers on here.

Worst behaviour I can think of was at DH's cousin's second wedding in Australia - he used to be a pro rugby league player and still had some old friends from that "scene", most of whom had been at his first wedding, including his best man/MC. Memorable bits were:
Father of the bride using his speech to basically plug his own estate agent business
One of the groom's old friends getting so drunk that he smashed the mirrors in the bathrooms and was escorted from the premises, only to try and sneak back in again in a golf cart (it was held at a golf club), when the police became involved
As the groom and bride were about to leave, the best man/MC got everyone together to bid them farewell and said into the mic "Best of luck to Groom and [ex-wife's name]". The bride was utterly mortified, unsurprisingly and ran out in tears.

I managed to avoid most problems at my wedding by not having any disruptive elements there, although DH's other cousin did get very pissed and nearly upset a few guests...

Went to a wedding where the groom started a speech, then turned on his heel and walked right out, mid sentence. Audible gasps from the guests...The bride ran after him and her sister stepped up cover the mutterings. Then she spoke for perhaps forty minutes almost entirely about herself, though she did mention her sister, the bride, in passing.

At my wedding, my mid-50s year old father spent the whole evening sleazily hitting on my early-20s friends. One he particularly liked kept trying to hide from him because he wouldn't stop stroking her hair and trying to get her to dance with him.

I no longer speak to my father.

At my SIL's wedding, the starters were elaborate boards of cold meats, cheese, hoummous, sundried tomatoes, etc. Really gorgeous. Because other SIL & I are dairy intolerant, we had an extra smaller board on our table just with stuff we could eat. One guest decided this just wasn't on and came to our table to tell us so before taking our platter away with him! SIL was absolutely furious when she found out.

My husband took me to a wedding where the father of the bride stated in his speech that he was delighted his daughter had married as he never thought he would be rid of the slut. The same wedding boy enough food for 30 people and there was around 100 there. Funnily enough we didn't stay long. Oh and there was another wedding he took me to where when we left there was a couple fighting in the car park. Screaming, kicking and punching. It was the newly married couple.

this is by no means as bad as some of these...

at sil's wedding (she is now ex sil so can now divulge). David Blunkett is a friend of ILs so was invited. He was sat at the same table as us and as the wine was served he said to the waitress "no thank you I've brought my own, but if I could have an ice bucket for it please." Hown wine to about two or three of the guests at our table and nobody else, and asked for some ice to put in it (even though it was in an ice bucket). Now I'm not a drinker of white wine but even I know you don't put ice in what is supposed to be expennsive wine!

Fil's speech went on for 30 minutes! the best man made a speech while absolutely smashed out of his mind and later shagged one of the bridesmaids...

They're renewing their wedding vows next month because it's been ten years, however they booked it three years ago! e then offered his

I fell into a ditch whilst walking back to the B&B we were staying at because my now DH didn't want to pay for a cab. It was semi rural so I couldn't actually see that there was a ditch full of mud and stinging nettles.

Oh how I cried all the way to the B&B, shouting at DH, especially as we'd had 'words' on the way back as it was.

Seems funny now, but then, oh no!

Not a chance. DH did go and watch her get married, which put her in a very sticky position trying to explain why her brother had disappeared straight after the ceremony.

When I was a student I used to work in a bar at a large hotel in Bristol, their main trade seemed to be hiring out their function rooms to weddings, most passed off without too much incidence but about once a month you would get two families from the local shithole estate that clearly hate each other squeezed into a small room and fed copious amounts of alcohol. It was always a matter of time before someone said something, usually a disapproving father of bride bemoaning how the groom is ?not good enough for my princess? and it would rapidly escalate to shouting, pushing and ultimately punches being thrown and a scrum of men rolling around on the floor or over tables with a wailing bride in the middle screaming ?leave my Darren alone he aint done nuffing rong?. We would pull the shutters down on the bar and call hotel security who in turn called the police, it was a pathetic sight seeing everyone leave, insults still being traded, ripped shirts, bloodied faces and in some cases the groom in the back of the police van.

Binky, did you give them a present after that!

SIL invited us to her wedding via email, a save the date, 1 month before the wedding uninvited us, via email, because 'we haven't spoken much, for a while' then was pissed off because DH didn't reply to her uninvited email and slagged us off about it to anyone who would listen.

Mirry, what a heartless bitch!!!

I didn't even go to my DB's wedding as I'd had a miscarriage about 10 days before and my sil (bride to be) uninvited me as she said it would
'put the mockers' (her words) on the day. I was too at the time to object. It was particularly hurtful as I would never have dreamed of mentioning it on the day and I've never mentioned the uninvite to anyone in rl

I give up.

She acted like it had never happened

Oops bloody phone

Wedding night shagging her loudly. Not a problem but we were too poor to stay in hotel and she'd invited herself to spend night at ours.... Poor DH couldn't perform conjugal duty until they'd finished and tbh we both struggled as were too busy smothering our hysterical laughter. Kidnapped bloke snuck out before sunrise too ashamed to face us. She acted l

Oh dear AndyMurraysBalls hope those dreadful months are now just a distant memory.
In response to OP, worst wedding behaviour I've experienced is a best man who proposed to his girlfriend during his speech, she said yes and they shamelessly hi-jacked the happy couple's day.
I was furious and told DH on no account was he to buy them a drink, lots of people did though

I may have mentioned this before but....

SIL very obviously not wearing bra or undercrackers - very prominent nipples and minge outline in photos.
SIL forces unwilling male guest to spend wedding n

this was not a thread I should have read with 5 months to go lol

An aunt of my (ex) husband gave me a tray of dirty plates to carry back to the Kitchen at my Reception..I was so amazed that I ended up taking them!
