To ask for your cringey wedding stories?

[thedysontree]

Was at the wedding of my sister's best friend yesterday. The bride sang "Total Eclipse Of The Heart", as she was walking down the aisle. She's a lovely woman but christ she cannot sing (though I think it would have been cringe even if she was Adele). The husband didn't know she was going to sing and seemed very taken aback by her it.

There was also a wedding a few years ago where the couple had their 4 year old stand next to the vicar and try and read out their vows for them. Being 4, he struggled and everybody was waiting awkwardly while the vicar was trying to help him pronounce words.

So, am I being unreasonable to ask for your cringe wedding stories?

A wedding where the father of the bride made barely any reference to the bride (his daughter), but instead spent most of the speech going on about his wife (her mother). Just odd.

Wedding where the groom sang “Sweet Caroline” to a bride called Claire.

A family member is the licensee of quite a big social club and every now and again asks me to open/lock up/keep an eye on the bar if he's busy elsewhere as I live nearby. A few years back we held an evening do which was absolutely empty. I felt terrible for the poor couple, they seemed lovely as well. They'd not done a plated meal type thing but had instead laid on a buffet and had catered for about 150, maybe more. I'd say there were less than 30 people there, and it was a massive elephant in the room that no one was acknowledging. It was a weekday and during the school term time, and from about 5 o'clock onwards or so a few people trickled down, clearly having just left work, to have one drink and carry on home. I lingered round for a bit out of ghoulish fascination to see if anybody else turned up to supervise the bar but I left myself at about 6.30 and let one of the bar staff lock up. I often think of the couple and wonder why, even if the choice of date was a bit strange, nobody came.

Best man's speech going on and on about how the catholic priest had "touched him" with his ceremony. How he was obviously quite talented at "touching people" (the priest was at the meal and good friends with the bride's parents). Also went on about how hot the brides mother looked in her white trouser suit (that was rather tight) and how she was a milf! Apparently the groom and best man nearly came to blows over the speech later on and didn't speak for weeks.

Sorry annie but i spat my drink out at the server who couldnt get up

[Anniecott]

My 80 yr old priest was pissed, forgot half the service, didn't pronounce us man and wife and fell asleep during 5 mins quite reflection and prayer, he had to woken up the 90 yr old alter server who tripped over and couldn't get back up. 😱

The best man's speech at a wedding I went to last year. He said to the bride's parents " I bet you feel sore about losing your daughter - but not as sore as Emma will feel after a night with our Matt! " Cue a dreadful silence then a few uneasy chuckles. Bride, groom and parents looked horrified.

My own toddler cried through our, non religious, service wanting juice. It was a hot day and they were knackered. Every other adult was too terrified to move and sort it so the DJ saved the day.
We do have a lovely part of our video that has him screaming.

God I wish I'd witnessed Total Eclipse Bride 😂. Utterly amazing!!

When my cousin got married, she recorded a song on her hen night with all the other squawking hens on the backing track. So as a surprise for her new DH she got the DJ to play it for them to dance to at their reception . His mother's face was the highlight of the day tbh and we all learned during that painful 5 minutes that my cousin really can't sing and her DH really can't dance ..............

Conservative crowd, the groom’s parents were Christian missionaries and quite uncomfortable with the fact that this was a second wedding for their son. The best man gave a speech telling us all about the threesome he’d had with the groom and a woman who was not the bride!

[AnneElliott]

The brides sister (bridesmaid) was found in the ladies loos with a bloke that wasn't her husband. The man and husband had a fight on the dance floor.

[Intheupsidedown]

Whole load of commotion going on with the bride, groom, bridesmaids etc.

Turned out the boyfriend of the main bridesmaid had just been found in bed with the best man.... hotel was at the venue.... girl thought she was clever having the room keys hadnt banked on the hotel staff having a spare which the guy borrowed when he was worried that he hadnt seen his gf for a while and couldn't get in the room....

[Isthebigwomanhere]

A wedding last year , the groomsmen and best man had to be given a lift by the grooms neighbours as the cars never turned up.
They made it by a minute before the bride.
At the reception the best man was to pissed to give his speech and had to be taken home and put to bed.😀

[BlockedAndDeleted]

How long was the fucking aisle?!

What part was she at when she reached him?

“Every now and then I fall apart!”

Did the congregation join in, because it is the ultimate singalong.

Any excuse to watch this again though (not wedding related)

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

Oh I’ve remembered another one.

Wedding where the bride sang her entrance song. Awful! Completely tone deaf! And the evening band were friends of the bride and groom. Musicians were great but the singer was dreadful. I had held it together all evening, resisting the urge to comment on it. They started singing one song though and I couldn’t help myself. The loudest laugh just burst out of me. A fair few people looked at me for that.

The vicar scarcely mentioned the existence of the bride during the service and instead heaped praise upon the groom. Who it transpired was the vicar’s son...

[dollydaydream114]

Full striptease by the groomsmen at the night do.

I’ve seen this happen too, at an afternoon wedding reception I was working at when I was a teenager. The guests all seemed to think it was fine until one of the completely naked ushers danced behind the top table and tapped his dick against the face of one of the bridesmaids, who looked to me to be about 14. She cried (understandably, given that this was literally a sexual assault) and then a fight broke out. Looking back I can’t believe the police weren’t called by the venue staff.

Argh the 'daddy-daughter dance' only seen it once, but I nearly died. bride, her dad, mum and sister all slow dancing together (as in all 4 hugging and swaying together) while the tuneless bride screeched the song into her poor dads face and the already very drunk mother stumbled and was being held up by the other 3 dancers. I could feel the dad cringing.

Same wedding, at the church the couples youngest dc (5) was so badly behaved, running and shouting at the alter, hanging off the table behind the priest and throwing things that the priest stopped the wedding and said they had to do something or he wouldn't continue with the ceremony. Later the brides 10yo dc and 8yo dn sang a couple of songs- well the dn sang, the dc screeched over her the entire time with a different song. A few members of the grooms family turned up at the church in jogging bottoms and t-shirts, already drunk too.

It was an interesting day.

I went to a wedding where the grooms mum and dad had split up quite close to the wedding.
They were both on the top table and I was watching the mum knocking back the champagne but she seemed in good form... until the speeches.
The best man was going on about what a good guy the groom was etc. There was natural break where he had a bit of his drink and you heard his mum say and it echoed around the room " unlike his father who wanted a blue Peter badge when he got it up"
Followed by gasps and sniggers.

Ha
Jeez

Mid 80s wedding, there was a song at the time called Strip for me babe or something like that. The DJ played it and within seconds the groom was completely starkers on the dance floor. The song went on for ages, just him standing there bollock naked. The bride was in tears and everyone was desperately trying to get him dressed and off the floor. Tensions rose quickly and a huge fight broke out, it was awful. They were divorced within 18 months.

@Rainbowknickers first time I can say LOL and actually mean it 😂😂😂

[DareDevil223]

At a family wedding the best man (also the groom's brother) gave a long 'lad's bantz' speech which included a rambling and involved story about the groom getting pissed and shitting himself. Which was nice.

One of the many reasons that I avoid weddings like the plague.

[CornedBeef451]

Wedding with 3 best men and all 3 did speeches barely mentioning the existence of the bride.

First one was mildly amusing, second was misogynistic and third one was borderline racist. Very glad when that part of the day was over.

[CilantroChili]

A couple did indeed announce their engagement at my wedding
I cheerfully ignored this information and congratulated them the next day. Fuck that noise.
