Terrible wedding behaviour.

*19 year old niece

At mine and dh's wedding his friend (who had a gf at the time) got horrendously drunk and tried to chat up, in succession my sister and then my bridesmaids who were my 29 yo old niece (sister's daughter), 17 yo niece and then tried to buy my 13 yo niece a drink thinking they were all in their 20s 😱

Just remembered one from when I was a kid. I was about 9 or 10 and my uncle got married. His best man decided that the best way he could honour the newlyweds was to strip completely naked and dance around the hall. My grandmother was about as catsbum as it was possible to be without sucking herself inside out. Us kids thought it was hilarious and the rest of the adults, my parents included, were too pissed to care.

My uncle talks of it with regret to this day, because he missed it, him and my aunt had already left for their honeymoon at that point!

OMG what is it with weddings and the the Dirty Dancing lift?!

I have seen it attempted a couple of times, it didnt go well either time although thankfully no injuries or major damage to anything other than egos and outfits! The best of the two would be the best man and the groom having a go at it, with the skinny groom attempting to lift the rugby playing best man. I was expecting him to get up in a Tom and Jerry way, squashed completely flat :o

My wedding... His Mother was a nightmare, I still can't decide if she had undiagnosed mental health issues or whether she was just a massive bitch. She spent most of day showing people a photo of her mother who had died about 5 years before & crying saying how much she missed her. She spent half an hour arguing that she didn't want to seated anywhere near her ex husband at the top table, holding up the meal. Given that there were only us, my parents, his parents, one bridesmaid & the best man at the top table it was pretty difficult to accommodate her request any more than we already had, she was at one end of the table, him at the other. She made a huge scene & said he should have to sit with his "new" wife, he'd been married to his "new" wife for the best part of 20 years. No one could understand what her problem was as they had always been reasonably amicable & had gotten divorced because she left him for another man who she went on to marry (they then divorced after she left him for another man...). She also went around telling half the guests that it wasn't common knowledge but I was pregnant & that's why my dress looked tight. I was NOT pregnant! My marriage ended in divorce, turned out my ex husband was as bat shit crazy as his mother!

Well, if this is Zombie threads for you, then Roll On The Apocalypse!

Two guests at my wedding attempted to recreate the magical moment of romance and dancing genius that is the final scene of Dirty Dancing.

Funnily enough after several hours of partying the lift went wrong and both of them had to be treated at A&E for concussion...

Reading these has made me very relieved that there weren't any dramas at our wedding.
I did announce at a wedding of my uncle to a woman that I really didn't like "Aunty can't dance" after the first dance...in fairness I was about 6 and had been taking dance lessons since I was 2 so kind of knew what I was talking about. I don't think I ever saw the woman again.

My not so DB and his even worse brides wedding was atrocious.
They NEVER smiled the whole day hence the awful wedding photos my DM hides in her spare room.
They chose my DNephew aged 16 to be BM and forced a speech on him where he thanked ALL the family dogs but none of the actual people.
The cake (shaped as a bus) arrived with the names Kaye & Ian piped on.... their names are NOT Kaye & Ian!

Nothing on some of the stories here, and I found all the blips hilarious anyway.

• My two brides-men got so pissed the night before that instead of arriving early on the morning (one of them was also pre-wedding photographer), they arrived minutes before the wedding. So no getting ready photos.
• They were starving, and I ended up feeding them my lunch. My dress-maker had to dress them.
• The registrar put the wrong details on the preceding couple's certificate, causing delay so I arrived (squashed in a taxi with 4 people as the taxi booking had been lost) and made my entrance on the street outside where the guests were all still queuing.
• Registrar then also got OUR certificate details wrong and had to redo it.
• A guest decided that this was the right moment to repeatedly phone DH to ask him to sort out their childcare at the hotel. So DH was phoning nannies outside the registrar's office.
• I was nauseous with morning sickness (not helped by the brides men having nicked my lunch).
• A guest threw an entire glass of wine down my dress (thankfully champagne).
• Caterers forgot the knife, so I had to brave the venue kitchens, in my wedding dress, to find a carving knife for the cake-cutting.

And why do people bring extra guests, or children, when no children invited, and then feed them, which upsets other guests who have paid for babysitters and want to know why their kids were excluded?

I help my DH who is a wedding photographer, some of these we have witnessed or have been told about by the couple when we deliver their photos.
One of the wedding the brides df during his speech made several references to the fact that this was her second wedding, he then proceeded to Deliver a long and bizarre speech that was basically all about him.

At another wedding some drunken guests attempted to steal one of the hotel statues and damaged it. The hotel then tried to get the B&G to pay for it.

I've witnessed badly behaved children, there was about 20 children various ages and their wedding favour was a sock monkey each. All the kids then decided to run round swinging these monkeys about totally unchecked by their parents who were enjoying a drink. I don't know how the wedding cake didn't get knocked over which had been put in the centre of the room and the chaos.

There was also the mil who wore exactly the same colour as the bridesmaids, despite the bride asking her not too. I then overheard mil telling a guest that she didn't realise it was the same shade because her outfit was apple green and bridesmaids were in sage green. The bride had seen the outfit before the wedding and asked mil to change it and told her why.

Weirdest behaviour I've seen at a wedding was where within the first minute of the first dance the bride's dad interrupted and danced the rest with of the dance with his daughter, leaving the groom standing and watching.
The friends and family of the groom (us) stood speechless. The bride's friends and family didn't bat an eyelid.
The marriage lasted less than a year. She had their honeymoon baby and kicked him out......,

I once turned up to a wedding that had been cancelled the day before, as the bride and groom had been arrested 😀😀😀

I invited some work colleagues to our evening do. They added all their drinks to our tab, leaving us to pay about £130 on their behalf! BIL, who was the best man, had to cover it, as DH and I had left by then. We only heard about this after coming back from m our honeymoon. We reimbursed him of course.
I'd left my job as I moved away when I got married so I never got the opportunity to confront my ex-colleagues, but I do think, what cheek??

Friend of mine was a bridesmaid. Got steaming and invaded the stage at the night do where there was a Rolling Stones tribute band, embracing the drummer and screeching 'I can't get no Ronnie Wood'.

Not quite on the same league as some of these but at my mum's wedding, some ramdomner gatecrashed the reception (local hotel so other users). He was undone by claiming to be a friend of the bride to my mum's best friend. Needless to say he was promptly escorted out by the management

My dad was awful at his sisters (my aunts) wedding. Tried hitting on one of the bridesmaids (yes he was married to my mum at the time) and got into a fight with her boyfriend. Got insanely drunk, caused alot of aggro by being the kind of truthful only drunk people can be, made a lot of people cry, proceeded to strip in various places around the hotel. Next morning me and my sisters were sent on a mission by my very sore headed father to find the various misplaced parts of his rented suit.

At my uncles wedding i was the badly behaved guest. I got very drunk very quickly, almost smashed a glass door by falling through it, got abit emotional towards the next and was put to bed by my boyfriend. Woke up an hour later, and for whatever reason decided to rejoin the party, forgetting to get dressed again. I went down to the lobby in my bra and pj bottoms. Thankfully most of the guests had gone home by this point but it was my mum's boyfriend who spotted me wandering around in my underwear and called my mum over to put me to bed. I was 24

I haven't RTFT but surely Libra wins!

A family friend of the couple was providing the cars. After a furious row, friends wife chucked the limo keys in a pond to fuck up the wedding (couple were not linked to the row, but she knew it would ruin her husbands business reputation).
Luckily there was a spare to be found after an hour or two searching.

The limo driver then proceeded to get 10000% hammered drunk during the ceremony. Couldn't move the car away from the front of the hotel for photos. Could barely walk and was threatening to drive home. Was sick in front of everyone.

At my uncle's wedding, he quickly nipped out to the car to get something, and his new wife decided she couldn't wait and just cut the cake by herself!?!?

Many years ago i went to a wedding - work colleague of DH. There were quite a few colleagues from his work who attended - including 2 female colleagues of the grooms. Halfway through the wedding mass the two girls started crying and noisily left the church Turns out they were both rather too close shagging the groom during office hours. How he juggled all 3 without them realising - or why they came to the wedding dont know. Bride was oblivious. She found out on honeymoon when he called her the wrong name in bed

I went to my dreadful uncle's second wedding in my teens. He spent his entire speech saying how lucky he was to marry his wonderful wife and gain her daughter as his own, and didn't at any point mention his own daughters or his sons who he hadn't informed about the wedding. It was awful.

These are brilliant, mine aren't anywhere near as good.
I was a bm at a wedding once where the bride had insisted on really awful, poorly fitting dresses. One of the other bms was quite flat chested, and the dress didn't look great with a bra so she went without. Cue prett impressive nip slip while walking down the aisle.
My df got married a couple of years ago and was so drunk and nervous during his speech that he forgot to mention the bride, so I'm looking forward to his speech at my wedding

Is there something I'm not getting about @pandarific'S joke because to me it doesn't seem that bad - presumably if she eats like a rabbit she'll shag like one? Hardly that blue for a bm speech?

Our's was pretty incident free - a friend's girlfriend did offer to give him a bj under the table but he refused saying he wasn't going to do that at a friend's wedding! Mil did wear white but I was half expecting that as she did at bil'S.
We went to one more incident packed. They got married abroad. Ceremony was outdoors at noon and we were all boiling as there was a long delay.
BM's ex was there as she was a friend of the bride and determined to flirt with everyone - particularly bm'S brother. She also got changed for the evening into a ridiculously tarty blue dress - think the one Charlotte in Satc wears in Atlantic city, essentially just a blue boob tube.
Bride furious at being upstaged announces "well I've got something blue on" and walks round with her huge dress lifted up to show her knickers with blue bows on.
Within 4 years the bride and best man were shacked up after she left the groom, and they've now got 2 kids.

Love this thread! The worst thing that happened at ours (that I remember! ) was a married friend of DH's flirting with one of my single friends, walking around holding hands etc, his wife hadn't come as we had a no kids wedding (tight on space and no kids in the family) and he didn't wear a ring so my friend had no idea. I ended up marching up to them as we were about to leave and said he was married, my friend was mortified and dropped his hand like it was a hot coal. He and his wife have since split up and I am not exactly surprised! I mean who tries to commit adultery at a wedding?!
