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?

Of all the people I have told this story not one thought it was acceptable to storm into a church during a wedding screaming - regardless of any inconvenience. I just remembered why I avoid posting anything on any forum.

part of the grooms wedding party started a fight. the mother of the groom told him to stop and he called her a C**T

In my first year of teaching I met a fellow young teacher who had married that summer. I only met her husband once, he was vile. One day she told me about their wedding day. Her husband was South African but lived and worked in the UK. On the eve of the wedding lots of his family flew in from his home country.They drank and drank and drank. The next morning he was barely able to stand and vomiting so frequently that the vicar found a bucket in case the groom needed to puke at any point. My friend was extremely pretty and looked beautiful on her wedding day. When she reached the groom at the front of the church she whispered "Well ?", expecting him to say that she looked lovely. His comment was " Nice tits". On the way to the reception the car had to stop so he could puke and , at the hotel, the ' helping the bride out of the car'photo was delayed whilst he ran in, puked in the gents and came out again.

Wow!! Not even knob roll man beats this!! Please tell of the aftermath!

I think most people would be more shocked by the pool table incident!

I’ve been to more than one wedding where the Father of the Bride has laid out the DJ for trying to end the set early

Did any of the other people who know this story think it was acceptable to follow the inconvenienced person home to tell them off? Just curious.

Sorry, I see you did later in the thread. How sad for all involved.

I also think you behaved badly. The world doesn't revolve around your 11 year old and their reading.

At my niece's wedding, one of the 'groomsmen' got completely off his face on drugs. There was a massive fight that started in an upstairs corridor of the hotel. I was holding my baby great-nephew, then aged 6 weeks, on the stairs as a group of fighting men came hurtling down the staircase. The hotel staff were unbelievable, with the woman in charge yelling 'Protect the baby!' and about six members of staff dropping everything to make a human shield around us!
The fight spilled outside, back in again, onto the dancefloor (which my brother and I found hilarious for some reason) then back out again. It took four police officers to get the groomsman into a van all whilst various men were engaging in argy bargy and women were shrieking 'He ain't worth it!!!!' at their boyfriends.

I was matron of honour. I threw my napkin down onto a lit tea light candle at the end of the meal & everybody else had left the table. It was only a little fire in my place setting which was quickley contained 😂
I still dread to think how catastrophic it could have turned out if I hadn't have glanced back to make sure I hadn't left anything behind!
Alcohol & real candles should not be mixed

I’ve been to a wedding with a fight and it was brilliant entertainment. It helped that those involved were the family of the groom and my husband was a work colleague of the bride so we didn’t know them. Far better than a string quartet and I’d imagine a lot cheaper - until chairs were smashed over heads that is.

Friend’s wedding a long time ago. Very lavish reception at posh hotel paid for by bride’s family. Bridegroom (apparently sober) made his speech a bitter diatribe against his new in-laws and refused to stop although the bride was in tears and her parents were glowering.

That doesn’t answer the question. Loads of posters google things but don’t copy and paste the long boring results.

I didn’t hear a question and even if I did, I don’t owe you anything, I did say I was happy for you to glance and move on but if you’d prefer to carry on talking to fresh air, knock yourself out.

My second husband has a SIL who is now 75. She's been married 3 x. At her first wedding her husband ( a well know rugby league player at the time) started a huge fight. SIL and her own sister ended up having a punch up on the dance floor. By her second wedding she was a teacher as was her husband to be. She had a 'rolling on the floor' fight with her other sister during the reception. By the time of her third wedding 2 years ago they were all too old and had such bad knees, hips, bowels, hearts etc to manage a fight.

The poster has confirmed Starkey further up thread. Now wash your moth out, how very dare you besmirch the name of our national treasure!!

Absolutely beautiful wedding at a gorgeous, and hideously expensive, venue. All well until the BM’s speech when he made multiple references to the shared house at uni and the codes they had about when they brought someone home for sex - and what the groom used to do when he brought his now bride home. Bride’s mother looked like she was sucking a lemon. And then the groom’s other best friend, at 5pm, when we’d all just moved on from the wedding breakfast, speeches and string quartet, and were mingling with a couple of drinks moved onto the empty dance floor and proceeded to completely strip off, with accompanying moves to, ‘You can leave your hat on’, until the end when a couple of other friends rushed him off the dance floor. The groom was my mate as well but from a different setting and, thankfully, I didn’t know his more recent friends at all! Love this thread, had forgotten about that wedding for a decade or so!

50+ years ago we all went to a lovely family wedding in a very posh hotel. Several hours later at home, my poor mum was coping with all 5 of us having
D&V as we all had food poisoning and only one bathroom!

A rather more recent one saw the groom whack the MOB’s awful hat off her head at the end of his speech.

Another (which we weren’t guests at thank goodness) saw the very drunk MOB jump in the pool where all the children were swimming, fully clothed hat included. Her poor daughter was very upset.

First fiance and I went to see a wedding photographer my mum had recommended . Her work was beautiful. She showed us examples of recent weddings she'd done. One of the weddings was 2 local posh families joining together, where money was no object. The wedding went ahead and the happy couple left on a fabulous honeymoon . When they got back the bride immediately left her new husband for the local ( very handsome) shagger who she'd been having an affair with all along . He turned out to be shagging multiple local women so that collapsed too. They never did collect the photos

Oh, what I would give to have the laugh reaction back. That last line............

Originally she wouldn't contemplate having a third wedding.After a bit of wine she admitted that it was because she and her sisters always had a punch up at a wedding and she saw no reason why it wouldn't happen again. After reaching 73 , with sisters in law in their late 60s she decided they were all too knackered to be bothered with fighting and got married. There was indeed no fighting. It was very pleasant

Groom told the bride, after having gone through with a whole church wedding, as they were both stood in front of the book you sign to make it legal ( register ? ) that he was already married. Neither of them let on, and we all proceeded with a lavish reception. They actually stayed together until he started hitting her about a year at later. Research by her kids revealed very old newspaper articles ( national ) about him doing the same in the past.

Me 2!

My wedding and DH invited his uncle by marriage. Aunt had died almost 10 years before so uncle was allowed to bring a plus one. He chose to bring the mother of a boy who had been in DH year at school. The boy had sadly died 15 years earlier of alcohol poisoning. My DF put his credit card behind the bar for the drinks reception and while most guests were sensible with it this woman who would have been around 60 years old was not. We went to the wedding breakfast and everything was fine until the puddings came out. The adults had apple crumble with cream and the children had a banana split. She starts making a scene and screaming she wants ice cream too. Uncle disappeared not long after the speeches taking her with him.
