Terrible wedding behaviour.

Hit send too soon.

Es bag then went missing. Contained her expensive Estée Lauder lipstick, emergency cigarettes, her something blue and some sentimental bits from her Grandmother.

After a frantic search, nobody could find it. A then swanned over with a smirk of "Here it is, C, take better care of it." But I wasn't watching it - Es little sister was. She'd taken it because she thought it'd get me in the shit with E and she'd be "the hero" Batshit.

E was getting married. E asked me (closest and longest friend) and her sister to be bridesmaids. A was very pissed off about not being asked. But actually wasn't as good a friend to E as she thought she was. A is selfish self absorbed and well vacuous. A also hates me which made it even worse. She absolutely ruine Es hen night with her awful behaviour towards me. I'm talking screaming in my face within 5 minutes of arriving to the hen night that I organised and paid for which I then left because I knew she'd behave like that all night. So she got her way then.

Then she turned up at the wedding. Wearing a very similar dress to me and other bridesmaid. And her hair and make up exactly the same. She had snooped through Es wedding book and wardrobe to find the bridesmaids outfits.

Es DSis who was only 12 was very upset and cried. I thought it was hilarious and incredibly pathetic. E was furious.

Mine is tame compared to your stories. I went to a friend's wedding in NI, where her husband is from (said friend is Brazilian, her mum came over, but apart from her mum, we were her only friends there - my sister was Bridesmaid, my mum played the organ/ piano and I sang a couple of times throughout the ceremony.). She wanted 'Close to You' by the Carpenters to be sung during the signing of the register - fine, but groom didn't like the song so passive-aggressively removed it from the Order of Service before printing the night before with no discussion. We went ahead and did it anyway and he was giving me evils throughout.

His family pushed ahead when food came out at the reception (buffet style) and demolished the food so those at the back of the queue got none. My mum eventually pushed in and got some for the B&G but we got none and had to grab something at Burger King at the airport on the way home. Fun times.

Mine was lovely, bar a couple of small bits. Went for local church and venue. Two days before wedding building work starts on church, to our surprise...Stained glass windows removed, we end up walking through those bright green building site fences to get in.

Friend had asked to bring her new boyfriend, we had to say no as it was a small venue and literally not a spare seat. It was a small wedding so bar some family members she knew all the others, we didn't have plus ones. Quite a lengthy guilt trip from.her.

Imagine my surprise when he is there at the church! I walk out of the ceremony to see them standing with a uni friend, who tells me that her boyfriend couldn't come as he 'had stuff to do' (given this was £100 a head i was a bit but i suspect that in fact they had argued. On hearing this other friend (with boyfriend right there) chips in with "that's great then, X can have Ys seat. We can change the tables round when we get there so we can sit together." And off they went. Boyfriend didn't say a word to either dh or I all day

Hey ho.

My brother ended up on a terrible table at a wedding a few years ago with the grooms "rough" mates and their partners. The first course was venison, to which they all started loudly making "vomiting" noises and complaining. Then one girl announced she had a bag of sausage rolls in her room... and actually went back and brought them to the table! They had also brought their own cans of beer to the table and made no effort to hide them and were smoking during the speeches (it was a marquee). What a delightful bunch!

I was at a separate table with my DH, met some lovely guests and had a great time!

I think this thread should be saved for the nation in Classics.

I know it's a zombie but.......ex BF of mine from years back had been married before he met me. He discovered his new DW shagging the best man in a broom cupboard AT THE WEDDING RECEPTION! They had a pretty swift annulment. It's alright, he'd got over it by the time I met him and could laugh about it.

Mine was a wedding on a hall and a wedding done on a budget. Absolutely no problem with that and it was great until it was realised that the 'top table including the bride and groom' had different food (we all had buffet they had waitress catered) and much better wine than everyone else. They hid the wine under their table!

I am soooo enjoying these!

I've never appreciated my own (very difficult) family so much. Our wedding passed off pretty much without incident (except for my mother say my dress was shite), but that's probably because none of them were talking to each other (nothing new there, then).

I know it is a zombie thread, but can I add one?

Bride and groom were uni friends of mine. The wedding was in Wales and guests had traveled many hundreds of miles to be there, most of them staying at least two nights in a hotel.

The bride was 30 minutes late to the wedding - just bearably late.
The reception is held in a hotel in the arse-end of nowhere, no information given on how to get from the church to the hotel. Many guests become terribly lost en-route. Other guests have to start sending out search parties.
No sign of the bride or groom or any of their families. Turns out they have gone off to have photos in local picturesque spot. For four hours.
Guests are not allowed into hotel while waiting, luckily the weather is OK and there are some garden seats outside (but not enough). Hotel staff become frantic because the timings for the food are completely shot.
Mid-afternoon the wedding party eventually rock up, no apologies and no photos taken with any guests. The hotel staff serve lunch at a run.
Bride gets wrecked and insists on giving a long, rambling speech thanking her hairdresser.
Hotel staff on the verge of a nervous breakdown - we are now running about six hours behind schedule and the lunch segues neatly into the evening entertainment. Which turns out to be a very blue, 1970s-style comedian who rolls out every sexist and racist joke in the book.
At 11pm I finally manage to grab my first word with the bride, tell her she looks wonderful, say goodbye and thank her for inviting us.
I never hear from the bride or groom again, not even a thank you for the gift...or a reply to the note I sent with a few photos of guests (from the church and waiting in the hotel garden) included.

I got the feeling all the guests were just extras in her bridal extravaganza rather than, you know, friends, people, guests.

Zombie thread plus I didnt even answer the OP's question properly

Not so much bad behaviour, but I went to a wedding once, and a fuse blew every time someone used the hand dryer in the ladies, so the disco stalled.

My MIL wore all white to my wedding. My BIL wore jeans. I forgot to arrange a nice car and only realised about 10 mins before wedding so ended up arriving to the ceremony in DH's mate's van.

Mine went better than my cousins wedding- the hotel kitchen had a fire during dinner and we all had to stand outside in the rain while the fire brigade sorted it, then the cake randomly collapsed on its own just before being cut, then during the dancing part my cousin got a nose bleed and got blood all over his new wife. They did think it was funny though

Recently went to a wedding where the Grooms entourage were doing West Ham signs and chants during the speeches and ceremony. Said entourage also started fight with photographer. There were about half the wedding guests in and out the toilets doing cocaine too. It was an experience

My MIL also attempted to open our wedding gifts, but my dm put her in her place! Typical thoughtless behaviour of mil.
. My SIL & BIL had pictures of themselves, and only themselves taken at their wedding, which I thought was weird, never seen a wedding album like it. Loads of photos of them in a field, on a bridge etc with twee 'special effects ' , it was as if no one else was there. It made me sad as her DF, my FIL, who was a lovely man, died 2 years later so no pictures of him at his only daughter's wedding.
I made damn sure there were lots of photos of family and friends taken at ours, especially our parents.

My hateful BIL threw a tantrum and insisted on inviting a girl he had been chatting to over the internet to our wedding even though HE HAD NEVER PHYSICALLY MET HER and she lived overseas. Of course she didn't turn up. I refused to take her place setting away before the meal and made him sit next to her empty chair with her name card on it.
A few years later we went to his wedding and his bride (not the same girl) got drunk and spent the whole reception throwing up into a bucket.
Also at our wedding, just after the first dance, one of the ushers was very publicly proposed to by his girlfriend using the DJ's microphone in the middle of the dance floor.

Two of my best friends left my reception early to watch a World Cup match (on TV). It wasn't even England playing.

Years later, they both joke about it. It annoyed me then, and still does.

As a guest at a recent wedding, I noticed someone on our table had lined up three large wine glasses and was insisting that they were all filled each time the waiters came round with wine. They were all for her and she was horribly drunk.

For info - ZOMBIE THREAD ALERT

Pascha That sounds epic!

THat was meant to be in HER house, not our house, that would have been even worse!

Not the actual wedding, but a few from mine - my MIL and SIL are ok generally so it must just be weddings that do funny things to people.

• I asked Mum and MIL for a list of the formal group shots they would like, of the family. MIL sent over here, there were about 15 and I wasn't included in any of them, just DH and our DD. Of course I did shove myself into the middle!
• After the wedding she put up a photo of SIL holding our DD from our wedding up in a big frame in our house. None of us on our wedding day.
• SIL and her boyfriend announced their engagement the morning after the wedding, we had a Sunday lunch at our local with all of DH's family and it was all anyone talked about.

It's their wedding soon, maybe I should take pointers from this thread

No where near as bad as some of these other ones.

At my wedding in the evening do, a close friend (used to be best friend but him and DH drifted apart) had a massive go at him for not being best man. DH told him where to go.

My MIL then proceeded to drunkenly complain to DH that he's not paying enough attention to her, that she doesn't know anybody at the wedding and she's having a lousy time. DH sent her home in a cab.

Poor DH. In hindsight he put up with some crap that evening.

I cant believe some of these!!! ....my wedding is next month and I'm slightly panicked now!!

Place marking to read the rest later! xx

Very drunk bride (me)

A relative who's husband couldn't attend asked if she could bring a grandchild. We agreed but on the day were told that said grandchild had gone out with other GM to buy a new school coat.

Hey, don't worry that was only a table setting and a £100 odd quid down the drain.....
