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?

I went to a wedding where one of the bridesmaids (whose wife was also at the wedding) started getting it on in the toilets with another woman and the wife caught them at it. I walked into the ladies and it was all kicking off, drinks being thrown, all sorts! Then rumour got round the blokes that there was a 'lesbian romp' happening in the toilets and they were all getting very excited

I thought the bride would be really upset but she didn't give a shit and was like 'yeah she is always doing stuff like that' about her bridesmaid, but I was glad she didn't let it ruin her wedding!

I love the one about the MILs bush showing through her outfit!

I also always remember the story on here about the bloke in a kilt who sat on the brides knee and left a skid mark on her white dress, I don't know if that's been mentioned yet?!

A woman I used to work with once told us about her friends wedding. . The brides father who was known to like a little drink went to the pub quite early in the day with his sons. The sons couldnt get him to leave and despite reminding him that it was his daughters wedding day, he continued to drink. His daughter had to be given away by her one of her brothers, drunk father turned up at the evening reception drunk as a skunk. He was refused entry.

The minister at our wedding called my husband "John" throughout the ceremony.

My husband is not called John, but the minister had made a comment about my husband looking like John McEnroe just before.

I do question whether or not we are legally married...

This will definitely out me, but...
At our wedding, the Vicar's sermon went on for ages, made no mention of me (the bride), or the fact that my DM couldn't be there (died 3 months prior). The Vicar did, however, talk about her love for her mangy, manky teddy that she's had since she was a baby & her love for the groom... The Vicar was my SIL!
I had guests ask if she had forgotten my name! 😐

A friend of mine got married abroad and her MIL (who hates her) wore a floor length white dress to the small family wedding (about 15 guests in total!) it was also slightly see through & low cut with a high split.

My friend attended a beautiful wedding abroad at much expense. At dinner the couple revealed they had already married back at their home city the week before 🤔

Getting it on in the suite during your wedding with guests and your mother outside the door. Jeez 🤢🤢🤢 so tacky

Wedding where the reception was in a church hall (fair enough). During the buffet meal when people were still eating one of the caterers started shuffling round the tables dragging a big black bin bag, snatching people's paper plates away and moaning "aven't yer finished yet?" when they objected.

The one where the mother of the groom got drunk and interrupted the speeches to announce that the man he thought was his father was not.

This is true of many destination weddings/weddings abroad. They are not legal. They want guests to pay huge whack to see a fake wedding. It's why we never bother with destination wedding invitations, just nope them.

Thought it really odd to choose that moment to inform all your guests you were already married! Married at a church convenient to the majority of guests. Very strange 😂

Yeah, that is a rather insulting thing to do to your guests, Keep.

I was at a wedding and the bride came up to me and my friend and said have you given in your cards yet 😬 I gave her the card and my friend did also ,we later found out they hadn't paid the whole wedding yet and opened all the cards in the room to pay , it was embarrassing.

The minister at our wedding called my husband "John" throughout the ceremony.

Same thing happened at my Dad’s funeral. Same name, John!

Placemarking this for a laugh later 😂

I went to a wedding where the Mother of the Groom wore head to toe black (plus big hat with veil). Around 50 people in Church.
During the vows, MoG left her seat, and turned to face the wall, and started to cry. I felt so sorry for the Bride. They are no longer married. He is now an MP. A bigger prat you could not wish to meet.
She met someone from a different social background and is v happy.

@OldLace: who?!?!

@VirginWestCoast some would say that story is a bit farfetched, but knowing people who move in such circles I well believe it!

@NameChangerinDespair

Ah, sorry, didn't mean to be all 'mysterious'.
I won't name the MP as it would then possibly 'out' his ex-wife?

Suffice to say i mentioned his MP 'status' as he is the type of twat who gives being a male MP in the UK a bad name - gammon faced, snobbish, lazy prat. She is SO much better off without him.

Which is why it was so ironic his Mother was making her feelings clear about her DIL. Actually, she should have welcomed her gladly (to water down the Prat - genes for future children)

Not once did anyone say that a ceilidh wasn't their sort of thing

Even if it wasn't, they didn't have to be so rude as to clear out to somewhere else. To my mind you either accept an invitation in all its parts or just don't go - doubly so when they already knew what was planned

Anyway, even if they didn't want to dance the music's fun ...

@OldLace, I was just curious, as I used to move in that world ...

I was a waiter in my late teens/early twenties and sometimes worked at wedding receptions.

-The wedding with a number of Scottish guests, the dance floor was mirrored!

• The bride who poured a glass of wine over her young (maybe 8/9) daughters head because she fell asleep.
• The bride who had been married before, her Dad kept calling the new husband the wrong name and said he preferred the old husband.

@ChocolatelyAsFuck

Oh god, that's awful!

Went to a wedding abroad - friends second wedding, his first wife had died . The new wife had a similar name to his first (think lena and corlena). The best man was his brother and he was really anxious and at the end of his speech he asked everyone to raise there glasses to and you guessed it he called out his first wifes name. The bride lost the plot and ran screaming from the reception with her bridesmaids running after her..... funny thing it everyone was so pissed that most hadnt picked up the error.....the groom sat back had a drink and laughed

The one where the mother of the groom caused a scene when her ex husband(grooms father) stood next to her! She threw a hissy fit and went to her room and missed out on dinner and the reception!

Or the one where the father of the bride solely talked about how much money the wedding was costing him, and how it was his bank account that was paying and how his wallet was much lighter than it had been! It was so cringe!
