To ask for examples of the worst behaviour you've seen from an adult at a wedding?

[HappyHappyHawaii]

Attended one yesterday as a bridesmaid. The brides cousin was also a bridesmaid, spent the whole morning clearly aggrieved that the day wasn't about her... smoked in the getting ready suite and had to be told to put it out, then lit up again and claimed she had forgotten when the bride told her and made a snarky comment..then presented her silver converse she had customised to wear with her dress as she "doesn't really do heels"... the bride ignored her and sweetly said "at this point I don't think I can stop you" as she knows what she's like then what do you know, she wears the heels! There were loads of instances like this all day and she is 28 but seemed to want to just be am inconvenience all day which I assume was jealousy...even little things like being late for photos and pretending not to hear when called over, pushing the food round her plate, really ungracious behaviour. The wedding was fantastic! She could have really enjoyed it much more. Not really an aibu but whats the worst behaviour youve seen like this?

It’s possible that this happens all the time and the woman with the driveway had just about had enough.

Some people I know got married and the best man gave a very explicit speech in which he revealed that the groom had been in prison when he was much younger. This upset the bride’s family, who hadn’t known.

The worst one I have isn’t all that dramatic though. The groom was a sulker. And he sulked throughout his wedding - I don’t know why. He would quite often spoil nights out by getting into a huff so I suspect that he saw the bride (or someone else) having a nice time and couldn’t resist spoiling it.

My mother behaves terribly at most family events but there were two weddings she attended where her behaviour was unacceptable - I cannot say what she did as it would be outing, but I eloped and married abroad to ensure she wasn’t at my wedding - I wasn’t taking the risk.

Wasn't John Barrowman, perchance?
There use to be a photo circulating online of that description which was supposed to be him!
I probably have a copy of ot somewhere...

😂 This thread should be in Clasics.
It’s brilliant.

Which is why I asked - I don't blame the inconvenienced woman at all. The wedding guests are the rude ones as far as I can tell, especially if they followed her home to tell her off!

I am confused by this one. Are you saying that the ex of this transman didn't realise that she was trans? That isn't possible.

Relative at my wedding, got very drunk, standing on a table with lighted candle dripping wax everywhere and then told my DH that they were having a “fucking awful time”.

I used to work in a pub and two regulars had a discussion one night about this phenomenon. Their theory was that "pub air" had special properties which kept you upright. It was only when you left pub air and stepped out into fresh air that you found yourself swaying.

This isn't dramatic or drunken or rude, but it really stuck in my head because I thought it was really sad.

I have two boy cousins who married two sisters, about a year apart. So obviously there was a huge crossover in terms of guests at the two weddings. At the first one the father of the bride made a lovely, heartfelt speech about how wonderful his daughter was. All very heartwarming. At the second one, he got up ... and made the same speech. About the same daughter. He did a tiny preamble of 'of course today Jane [names changed] is getting married, but Sue has done so much to organise this wedding. Now let me tell you about Sue ...'. And he wrapped it up with 'and today is Jane's day. Let's all raise our glasses to Jane and her husband!'

We were all sitting there gobsmacked while poor Jane's face was frozen.

my sister got married on a beach. It was a public one so thy understood there would be onlookers

however, during the ceremony a woman brought a young girl, maybe about 4 years old and in a swimsuit, into the group of bridesmaids and flower girls. The mother was clapping and cheering on her child for being part of it all.

i had to take the child by the hand and deliver her back to her mother. They didn’t appear to speak English but a strong Glasgow accent always seems to get the message across regardless of the words used

Oh, memories of being in Cornwall camping, we went to the pub one evening and I enjoyed the rough cider. I have no memories of getting back to the campsite, I was totally fine as we walked out of the door!

And we have a winner!!

Appallingly hilarious. 😂

He's not a KBE.

She sure did. They did one of those follow up shows and he turned up himself and cringed himself inside out at the footage. Clown.

That speaks volumes about the groom doesn’t it? He had obviously been telling his friend about his sex life with the bride. What a time for her to discover her new husband is an arsehole. How did the bride and groom react during the speech?

One where the snobby Bride who’d spent the last two years making the wedding her personality and everyone else’s problem made a really pissy, snipey, angry little speech about her new husband, full of jabs and digs masquerading as ‘funny quips’.

Then said Groom went missing for two hours in the evening, only to be found alone, hiding and drunk in a barn. He danced with every woman at the wedding except his new wife. Said really lewd shit to me on the sly too. They’re still married!

Another wedding I wasn’t at, but went down in extended friend group history. Incredibly drunk best man who hadn’t written a speech, intending to ‘wing it’. Got hold of the mic and rambled on incoherently, but not before sharing that the bride liked her nipples sucked. At which point a bridesmaid shut him down and unplugged the mic.

He eventually retired to his tent (it was a glamping wedding) after harassing the DJ all night, pooed his trousers, left before anyone else woke up - leaving only his shitty RENTED suit behind.

I don’t think anyone got in touch after that. They broke up three months later - she cheated, he gambled away all their savings.

A dear friend married an absolute arse as her first husband. I met her as we had babies at the same time. That husband got their SIXTEEN year old baby sitter pregnant, left his wife and 2 small children at Centerparcs to collect the babysitter and her friend from the airport ( Spanish holiday). That was appalling.....they divorced and she married again.....to another absolute knob. We went to the wedding and the reception at her sister's beautiful house near Oxford.The best man's speech consisted of tales of how drunk he and the groom liked to get whenever they went out and the age of the youngest 'woman 'they( as adult men in their mid 30s ) had managed to shag ( probably 16 possibly 15 ). That was going to stop now they were married .Then the groom stood up. His brides daughter was 12 at this point and a large part of his speech referenced her breasts and how pleasingly puberty was progressing (the daughter not the bride). The brides father was in his 70s and was a retired vicar. After the speeches we went outside. The 12 year old daughter was drinking blue WKDs , was clearly drunk and was wandering around in her bra and pants giving blow jobs to the long thin balloons you use to make balloon animals at a child's party. At one point there were 2 children aged about nine drinking bottles of larger and bouncing on a trampine. The mother noticed and came rushing over . We assumed it was because they were 9 and drinking alcohol. No, it was because she was concerned they'd break their teeth on the bottle tops whilst bouncing. The second marriage also ended in divorce.

This is actually normal behavior, everybody minesweeps at the end of a wedding…… Don’t they?

Oopsy!

College friend very much wanted a fairy take wedding and the happy ever after with babies . She didn't have any boyfriends during our 4 year degree or for years and years afterwards. Eventually she started going out with an absolute prat. She was an Executive Deputy Head in a large school by this time abd he made no secret of his intention to work as little as possible whilst she funded everything. Eventually he ran out of reasons not to get married so they had a lovely winter wedding ( organised by her and paid for by her parents). They thought the groom was a prat. He had 3 wedding jobs. Hire appropriate suits, book a honeymoon, write a speech. He and the best man hired suits the day before the wedding. He organised a group trip instead of a honeymoon for 2 ( they went with 3 other couples none of whom said eeerrr no its your honeymoon.)Neither he nor the best man wrote a speech. The best man stood up and said he'd forgotten his speech, talked about the bride wearing a pvc bustier at a previous party and that Tom ( the groom ) married her because of her great tits. The groom stood up , giggled , said thanks for coming and sat straight down. My friend looked fabulous in her very expensive dress. He didn't look at her or say a word about her. We were on a table with a mixture of her friends and his. One of her friends brought up the subject of future babies. One of his friends replied " She doesn't need to have any actual children, she's married Tom and he's a giant child" They're still together many years later. He remains an absolute prat. The stress of It has really affected her

father of the bride gate crashed the wedding and insisted on sitting at the top even though he wasn’t even invited to the wedding!! He has ditched the family when children were little and not been in their lives but found out and turned up. Brides step dad was not impressed and bride was so upset. She asked him to leave but he said no I am your Dad not him ( pointing to step Dad ) it was awful. In the end her mum made an announcement to the whole room that her ex had appeared and he is a nobody and done nothing for her daughter so please do not give him the time of the day. He left. After that it was probably one of the best weddings I have been too.

The bride trying it on with her sisters husband and when that didn't work, she took one of her work colleagues to the toilet for a quickie

Yes I did witness it. I didn't say throw, I said put. He didn't lift it, he tried dragging it and then shoved it. It was an orangery with quite a low wall and it took him a while but he was determined.
To be honest I was more shocked by the bin bag full of buffet leftovers that he took home for a snack. He's a big man.

Grooms best friend got the DJ to stop the music and read out a proposal over the mic! Bride and groom had no idea so it wasn't a sweet proposal they were in on all along. It was cringe!

Another wedding one of the guests was wearing a very tight dress at least a size too small with a very inappropriately placed slit.

We went to a wedding the week before ours. It was a Catholic wedding with full communion ( including the village old ladies waiting outside)so it was looooong. The priest started talking about different types of love ( love of God, love of your brother etc etc) Then he started talking about sexual love between the bride and groom ( I guess the catholic church really really wants it's members to have babies so hopefully they can't wait to get their knickers off). It was hugely awkward. Then we went to the reception . The brides father was an estate agent and had filled the front tables with his fellow EAs , solicitors, golf club friends. During his speech he put a SOLD sign around her neck and then said he hoped all her 'original features ' were intact i.e she was a virgin. She had lost her virginity about 9 years before in the back of a van with the man who was now my fiance. So me , fiance and the rest of the table knew that she most certainly wasn't still in possession of her hymen.All the men on the front tables roared with delight at the virgin comment
