To ask for your CF wedding tales?

[DuggeeRulz]

A guest’s plus one (someone I’d never met before) wore a white mini dress to my wedding. I laughed it off at the time (more focused on getting married!) but lots of people were a bit outraged on my behalf that she wore white.

Anyone got some more lovely tales of CFs trying to steal wedding thunder? I do love a good CF story!

My DH's friend brought along his girlfriend no-one knew about to the wedding even though she wasn't invited - it was a sit down meal and not cheap - we needed to find space for her and them pay the additional money for the extra head afterwards. That in itself wasn't too much of a problem......We had a chocolate fountain ( in my defence this was 13 years ago) and this uninvited guest proceeded to get extremely drunk and grabbed the huge vat of melted chocolate and pour it over my DH's car as a 'joke' and decorated with marshmallows, fruit, etc etc. No way of getting it off that night so we needed to wait until the next day, by which point it had set and despite jet washing the chocolate would not budge. We were flying on Honeymoon the next day and how no time to call a professional valeter so it say covered in chocolate for 10 days at the airport carpark. When we eventually got back and called a professional to come round to sort it, the chocolate had ruined the paint work of the car ( a new Audi) and it cost us ALOT of money to get it resprayed. She refused all contact asking her to pay.......

My parents divorced 10 months before our wedding. My DF had a new partner quite quickly and my DM made a huge fuss about DF’s new partner not being allowed to come to any of the wedding. Then just a few weeks before the wedding DM got a new partner and declared that he would have to come to all the wedding as he was family now. She couldn’t see the hypocrisy. In the end we compromised and said both new partners could come in the evening.

One of my Dad’s cousins is a gay man in his 60s. When he heard we weren’t having a videographer at our wedding he very kindly offered to take some footage. When we watched it back about 10% of it was wedding related, and the rest was extreme close up footage of various young male guests, and my husband’s arse

At my sisters wedding, I caught one of her "friends" shoving bottles of wine into her bag, telling my to help myself as there were free. 🙄 They went over their bar budget by 15k

£15k? Wow, that's twice what our entire wedding cost. I've been to two weddings with a free bar but in the first case, when the booze was gone, it was gone. In the second the. At was free up until about 10 I think.

The bar

@sockunicorn she was pretty uncomfortable but she did stay! I didn't say much as was shocked (and didn't know the full story until talking to best man later). Just said they're mine, she mumbled a bit, I grabbed them and walked off

My bridesmaid had a fight at my 1st wedding, XMIL slagged me and my family off to everyone then once we were on honeymoon called my mum and gave her loads of abuse. Bridesmaid disappeared after we'd left for honeymoon at the end of the reception and my dad and her dad were roaming the streets trying to find her, she turned up on my parents doorstep (she'd lost her purse and phone).

2nd wedding was not that eventful. Only things I can think of are MIL and her friends ate all the veggie options at the evening reception (They were specific items per person) in spite of them ordering meat options so we had to pay for a load more. Also we had the ceremony abroad, FIL booked to come then found out MIL wasn't going (They were divorced) he then cancelled as he was only going as couldn't bear the thought she'd be there and not him. Best man missed his flight as misjudged the train times (bearing in mind be used to do the same journey every day for work), he did turn up as he stag do started got so drunk he woke up with a 2 inch gash across his face and has no idea why so that looked good in the photos. Good job we love him dearly!!

The bride did the whole secret wedding, it was his birthday, so he was in a brilliant mood, food and drink first, groom still has no idea and she had been a right moody bridezilla the whole month, so she swaps her dress, and on goes the music, the vicar appears, he turned round swore and said no bloody way.
Seems she was trying to force him into having to marry her..
They broke up that night for good.

How does this happen? Surely you have to give notice, apply for marriage license, etc?
