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?

School friend’s wedding reception where the groom was discovered shagging one of the bridesmaids in a cleaning cupboard. Cue much screaming and everyone went home early. It was actually quite a posh do up until then.

Needless to say, that couple are divorced.

[Viggooooh]

At my brothers wedding the very drunk best man mentioned the fact that we had snogged (when we were at school over 20 years previously). Which was news to my husband and not really relevant to the day. Very bizzare!

@Enidthecat!
Only if your dad also kept going on about how your sister was fat and unlikely to marry any time soon

Wedding last year.
None of the grooms friends like the bride or approved of the marriage (my own feelings on the fact they made this so obvious at the wedding are another story). Several friends had refused to come to the wedding at all.
It's the best mans speech.
"Well, what can I say about these two?!"
And then he gave up and walked out the room.
He wasn't even drunk!

Father of the bride spent ten minutes recounting how beautiful Kate is, all her sporting successes, her academic achievements, the great job she has now and how she’s just bought her own house, all down to hard graft and talent. Mother of the bride nodding approvingly.

All fine until you remember it was his other daughter Emma getting married that day and she barely got a mention.

Anniecott, if your real name starts with O, I was possibly at your wedding and it was a great day. xo

[Enidthecat]

@WombatStewForTea no but that sounds horrific! 😳 Blimey. Mine said 'Enids nan had big tits too'. Which people were horrified by because a) it's so inap and b) my nan is dead

[Enidthecat]

Inappropriate that was meant to say

[NotSureAtAllReally]

Absolutely howling at some of these.
Mine was a cringe but also sad one...basically dh’s uncle married in his 40’s well know for still being a virgin until he met his stb wife.

[NotSureAtAllReally]

Posted too quick!
Anyway the father of the brides speech focused on how his dd was the furthest away from being a virgin as you could get and how well she knew all the cricket team (most of whom were there) . So awkward.

The wedding where the groom turned up with bright orange hands which he tried to hide throughout the ceremony because of his stag do the night before when the stag party dyed him orange. The bride wasn’t happy.

Oh dear. Total Eclipse is a very difficult song to pull off at the best of times (also the lyrics...not exactly appropriate for a wedding) Poor groom.

@Rainbowknickers - I've just sent that joke to my brother as he is best man at a wedding soon

I posted on a similar thread about my friend's MIL who came to the wedding dressed head to toe in black and wore sunglasses in all the wedding pictures!

The only other cringe I can think of is my cousin and his wife who played only Hip Hop and Drum and Bass at their evening reception. Their first dance was to their favourite gangsta rap track complete with references to bitches and ho's Several guests commented that they felt as if they were at a rave rather than a wedding.

My friend's dad had been divorced from her mum for about 17 years when she got married but he had never forgiven her for leaving him (she had an affair). He had always been incredibly bitter about it and managed to refer to it in his father of the bride speech. Not directly, but enough that everyone there knew what he was talking about. Such a selfish man.

[Dilligaf81]

At my bils wedding she was given away by her brother as her parents were divorced. For some reason sil and her mother think the sun shines out of his arse, when he is actually a twat!
His speech was him going on and on about if it wasn't for him the bride wouldn't be there as he had saved her life when she was younger. He then produces the medal from his jacket to show everyone.
Now we were all slack jawed at his display of ''look at me I'm the hero here" but the bride and the brides mother were looking at him like he was jesus reincarnated.

[Groovee]

My dad never mentioned me in his speech at my wedding. He went on and on about his daughter who lived abroad coming.

I was at a wedding along time ago and the groom chose 10CCs Im not in love for their first dance.
Suffice as to say they divorced.

[JudgeLinda]

I once went to a wedding where the groom wore a white suit (a bit off white) with a pink shirt and tie - not a good look

[KUGA]

I was at a wedding years ago and the groom decided to choose a song by 10CC called I`m not in love.
Suffice as to say,, they are divorced.

[BluebellsareBlue]

@KUGA but the song I'm not in love is actually about someone head over heels in love

[Greyponcho]

@littlechocola
Was it just his hands that were orange? Sounds like the remnants of someone else’s fake tan if so...

[ChrisPrattsFace]

Friends wedding - A very rehearsed dance routine as first dance - you could see them both talking themselves through it ‘1,2,3,4 turn - 1,2,3,4 step’. Made for awkward watching!

My own wedding - my step mother refusing to take her sunglasses off (wasn’t sunny!), refusing to put her very large tote style handbag down - even for the photos and clinging hard to my dads arm the whole day. Just cringe because I don’t like her and photos with her in look so stupid 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[Windydaysuponus]

The night before my last wedding (!), my supposed to be dc - free wedding... My dd (who was invited!) showed me my friend's dd on SM trying on the dress she had gotten for my wedding!!
She turned up wearing a fuschia pink frilly number and appeared in every bloody pic like Where's Wally peeping at the side!!
Kept the dh but ditched the friend!!

[TheFaithfulBorderBinbag]

A family wedding where the bride and groom planned to come in doing a fucking frightful dance routine. They started but the music was the wrong track. Three times they made their entrance and the whole thing was turn inside out with cringe embarassing. They had two DC at the wedding too and they were screaming so loud that the vows couldn't be heard and the celebrant refused to continue as, of course, the vows need to be heard for the wedding to be legal. The grooms mother had to take the nippers out so missed the actual wedding. Everything about the day was as tacky as it can get. It's still talked about ten years later. The bride got shitfaced at the reception and screamed constantly at the person in charge of the music but that was actually the best thing about the day!

My bridesmaid announced her engagement at my wedding

Last wedding we went to there was a huge fight with all the bridesmaids - screaming, pushing, pulling, doors being kicked in....in the hall then all spilled outside. Might have been due to it being wildly under catered so everyone was very drunk

[GreekOddess]

I absolutely detest the rehearsed dances.

At my sister in laws wedding which was over 20 years ago 2 male guests (husbands of two of her friends) did a ridiculous rehearsed dance. It just screamed of "look at me, look at me"! They weren't even groomsmen or close to the bride and groom. The fact that they had obviously taken some time before the wedding to discuss the dance and practice it just made it seem so attention seeking.

I find the dances pretentious and so cringeworthy.
