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?

I've been to two weddings where the bride was crying before the ceremony as she didn't want to go through with it.
One was my cousin's and I saw a completely different side to my Aunt and Uncle who were very much "we have spent all this money and you bloody well are going through with it". Marriage lasted less than a year.
Second was a workmate from an Asian background, her Mum and Dad threatened to have no more contact with her unless she married her first cousin. She went ahead. Ten years on she's still married, living in Pakistan and still unhappy.
So sad and unbelievable that you can lovingly raise a child to adulthood then not want them to be happy.

Yep. The staff were terrified of the wedding party’s behaviour. The whole venue was shut down with police support and no one - not even the guests who had paid to stay at the venue- were allowed back in that evening.

Forgot something from my wedding - the reception venue had floors at different levels so often up one step or down one step as you moved about. This wreaked havoc amongst the elderly guests and later the drunk ones - they were going down like nine pins. It was like the beach scene from Saving Private Ryan but without the sea, sand and gunshots!

🤣🤣🤣 Wonderful description!

Got to be the one where we left the reception and there was a fight in the car park. As we drove past we noticed it was the bride and groom fist fighting. Friends of dh not mine 😅

FWIW, I went to an AF wedding. The couple had met in AA.

Personally I loved it, because I have a history of problematic drinking so it was nice to take it out of the equation It was a glorious afternoon tea and it was just wonderful.

But, fuck me, people moaned. Thankfully it was on their own farm so it didn't matter if people snuck alcohol in vis a vis a licence for the venue. But wholly crap people were shitty about it. And left early.

Stoppp 😂

Just reminded me of one we went to, a marquee affair so no specific end time, and this was around 3am. It had been a great party but really everyone was getting very worse for wear and needed their beds. The normally absolutely lovely, mild-mannered groom swung for his new-wife’s sisters boyfriend, who in turn shoved over said sister in order to return punches. We felt it was a good job well done as we managed to hustle the groom outside, he wasn’t a small bloke, only to bump right into his cousin who, probably 10 years before and before the groom and his bride were officially together, had a very minor fling with said bride. It was like throwing a match into a box of fireworks, I swear every member of the family got involved, it was horrendous! We beat a hasty retreat. Apparently the groom didn’t make it to bed, he slept on the floor in the porch of their new marital home! They’re still happily married and that side of his character has never ever been seen again… most bizarre!

Really? I think you behaved very badly.

OMG! That's brilliant!

I’m a bit taken aback at all the weddings where people have taken drugs. I can understand getting drunk but taking drugs at a wedding is just a bit weird.

Traveller wedding, massive drunken fight at the reception that spilled out onto the carpark. It wouldn't be a Traveller wedding without a massive brawl I was informed.

Friends daughter's wedding at a very posh venue in Henley, mother of the groom got paralytic & was carted off to her hotel room to sober up.

Ex husbands auntie had a massive drunken row with her husband, the groom at the reception in a pub. Picked up the cake knife and threw it at him like in a carnival or circus act, with such force it narrowly missed him & stuck in a wooden support by the bar. They divorced a few months later.

Oh dear
Snorts 😂😂😂😂

My no longer a friend got obnoxiously drunk and spent the whole evening making a fool of herself

We had those centre pieces that were a giant martini glass filled with those little jelly balls (like orbies) with floating candles in them - she proceeded to fling them at people, including my elderly grandad....

She lost her leg in an accident when she was 17 (she was about 40 at the time of my wedding), and she spent the whole night telling everyone that she "learnt to walk again to this song" to every other song that the DJ played!

She encouraged her daughter (12) to be snidey and mean to my DSD (11) who was our bridesmaid, leaving DSD out and running away from her - it was really childish and pathetic

She came across as really jealous and I haven't spoken to her since - it's been 14 years

Ohhhhh... that breaks my heart 😞

Loooove the uncle speech.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lucky man to escape from such odious in-laws!

as part his best man’s speech, too disgusting to repeat on here.

God, it must have been bad, considering the things on this site at times!

I feel exactly the same way, totally cheated, I want to be at such a wedding before I pop my clogs and I'm seriously old! I can bring the very hot chilli sauce for the filled bread roll and a long fork.

I obviously wasn't at this one, but sometime in the 1880's, my great grandparents. She was 15 and very heavily pregnant, he was so drunk he repeatedly fell on the altar steps. The vicar paused the ceremony to say that gt grandfather was a disgrace, his new wife was a credit to him and he was only going ahead with the service because he felt sorry for her.

The marriage didn't get any better, sadly. Proof I suppose that bad behaviour at weddings is nothing new.

> What happened afterwards?

She called the police from the photographer's studio, the photographer advised her to go two doors down to a solicitor and start divorce proceedings

He did a lot of awful things during the divorce, including killing the family dogs and leaving them in the back of her car, but in the end he got ... five? ... years, and the house was sold and she took her half and moved away

Nope I agree , it’s indecent exposure.

Aw c'mon tell us 😆😆

Agreed! We can take it....

Bride's brother - spend the whole event drunk and obnoxious and was completely vile to his wife. His mum kept asking the wife to tell him behave himself, like it was her responsibility. After lurching round the reception upsetting everyone he attacked the croquembouche with the ceremonial sword. It was all very awkward. I can only assume he was either mad at his wife or his sister or perhaps both as he made absolutely sure neither of them would have any happy memories of that day.

Probably only me that had to look it up.

A croquembouche (French: [kʁɔ.kɑ̃.buʃ]) or croque-en-bouche is a Frenchdessert consisting of choux pastry puffs piled into a cone and bound with threads of caramel. In Italy and France, it is often served at weddings, baptisms and First Communions.
