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?

As if it was 5th Ave!!! 🤣

Well do I remember the days of the 75p vodka red bull!

Exactly! Can you imagine a bride and groom in there, where did they even come from??
I started working there when midweek it was 50p a drink 😳

Friend of the groom whipped his penis out, put it in a bread roll, buttered it and went round the tables offering it to old ladies.

😱🤢🤮

Went to a wedding where the groom’s family were apparently part of some kind of local gang/mafia. They were all really tall and broad and completely terrifying. At the reception, a few of us were sitting in a booth (the only one left) and three of his family came over and one just said in a menacing voice, ‘this is reserved for us’. We weren’t arguing and scarpered.

The bride ended up in tears after an altercation with one of them and later there was a fight in the car park. I only knew this girl through work (wasn’t entirely sure why I’d been invited) but yeah, the marriage didn’t last.

😳😳

That's you told then @CharlotteLightandDark 😂😅 I do hope you appreciate these very insightful and nuanced views about cocaine at it's usage. I imagine you hadn't heard of drug cartels before tonight, but now you have learnt about them, can use the information to get your crazed, out-of-control substance addiction in check!

I'd forgotten about this until reading this thread:

At my lovely daughter's wedding to an equally nice chap, my BIL turned up in his oily mechanic overalls. Why would you do that?? Why bother to come?? What point was he trying to make? We hadn't (to my knowledge) fallen out, it was done out of pure spite.

With no ongoing problems, I'd have assumed he had to rush to the wedding straight from work rather than leaping to malice. What do you feel he was being spiteful about, and what point would his overalls be making??

Bridesmaid at my aunt and uncle’s wedding- I drank repeatedly from the bridesmaid glass by mistake all through dinner, sang a song about a bird spinning round and round my plate at full pelt, fell off my chair and had to be put to bed.

1973, I was 3 and had been necking blue nun

You sound like great fun. Do you still do all those things at parties? 😃

My best friend's wedding. They were getting married in one country, we're all from another. We all travelled up and all was going well. Until 8pm, with the evening do starting. Bride's dad decided to leave because his very new wife has decided she is tired and has had enough. They hadn't even done the father daughter dance yet. Bride inconsolable, ruined the rest of the night.

I was at a wedding, where the groom fell massively in love with a colleague, who was also a guest.
I saw this, it was really like a lightning strike.
The couple marrying had been together for 8 years.
It was incredibly sad.

Chattanoogachoo · 10/02/2026 21:48

The groom who was marrying a lady with 3 little boys , two of whom were his.He said he couldn't wait for them to be a family of 4, guests shouted 5 at him and he corrected it but the little 8 yr old boy just sat taking it all in.

Are they (still) together now?

Was it his or her colleague?

At my sister's second wedding, her future sil parked her baby's pushchair in the middle of the aisle and refused to move it until someone from the location told her to.
I was then standing at the drinks reception, after the ceremony, where I had given a reading, talking to my sister-in-law and said groom's sister came up to us and asked us how we knew the bride!
Luckily my sister-in-law just said that she was married to the bride's brother and that I was the bride's older sister. Groom's sister then disappeared, as we were clearly not interesting enough!
Having said all that, her family think she is a loony, and I have heard her father refer to the father of her child as the "sperm donor".
Totally shocked at the English middle class!!!

PandorasSockBox · 10/02/2026 21:55

@HollyGolightly4
It was a bit fraught, but the original couple divorced fairly quickly and the other 2 married and had a family.
Bit weird as they (the 2 who fell in love at the wedding) were both psychologists!

PyongyangKipperbang · 10/02/2026 21:56

Some of these have brought back long forgotten memories.

Naked men at weddings.....

My uncles wedding in the 80's, I was about 9 I think. After Uncle and new Aunt (still together, happily!) did their "going away", the best man got very drunk very fast. He had been on soft drinks all day to do his job properly so the booze went straight to his head according to my father. He decided to entertain everyone. My cousins and I all remember a naked man dancing around the room and our very po faced grandmother insisting we all leave! I think he was led away by friends, us kids all thought it was hilarious!

The "married couple in a nightclub" was something I saw. In Chicago Rock in the 90's, saw a very young couple in wedding attire. I dont think either of them was yet 20, and a group of older people who were family I think. They were all shit faced except the girl who was drunk but just looked utterly defeated and down. I dont think that this had been her reception of choice.

One woman was outside and I think was mother of the bride/groom. She had a bottle of something in one hand and the other hand was supporting her against a wall whilst holding a cigarette. Every time she tried to take a drag from the cig, she almost fell over. Someone offered her a seat but she told them to fuck off (charming), so they did. Not sure what happened next but about ten minutes later there was a hell of a fuss, we saw bride on her own in tears, groom yelling at doormen and several people being chucked out. I said "I hope she divorces him" and my very astute sister said "She wont, or at least not until she has popped out a couple of kids and he has fucked her best friend".

Not really at the wedding but I was stationed at South Barracks Gibraltar. We’d had a very boozy Saturday in Gib and at 6am the guard sounded an alert due to a bomb scare. Senior NCOs dragging drunken bodies out of their pit and down the road to an improvised muster point which was a church hall that was in the process of being set up for a wedding. Plates, cutlery, centrepieces etc. One drunken genius had come home, stripped naked and gone to bed. In the confusion he was dragged out of the building and piled into the church hall to be confronted by half a dozen black clad Mediterranean grandmas in the process of setting up. In order to cover his modesty he grabbed a table cloth and pulled and with a massive crash all the stuff came flying off the table.

TapsOff · 10/02/2026 22:18

One guest got drunk and angry and grabbed a big garden flare and started trying to fight someone with it. Someone else dragged him to a caravan (on the grounds of this big stately home) and locked him in. Bloke who had come in the caravan to stay in slept on the floor of the disco.

Horrendous timing and awful for the bride - but I'm quite envious! Of the erring couple to have experienced this, and you for having witnessed it.

Some of the old ladies might not have seen one for years 😆 certainly not one in a bread roll, let alone a buttered one 🤣🥰🤣

That's just horrible. The poor bride.

LeftieRightsHoarder · 10/02/2026 22:34

The best man was the groom’s flatmate. He culminated his speech with a story of the groom coming home drunk one night and being discovered by the other flatmates squatting on the kitchen floor with his pants down, trying to push ice lollies up his bum. Apparently he suffered from piles.

Thanks, best man. I really wanted that image in my mind while dessert was being served.

No - correct thread.

See @Wierdyperiody post yesterday at 18.41.

All kinds of wrong.

@SabrinaThwaite - you are right - very dim misreading on my part - apologies to you and @Wierdyperiody.

PurpleFlower1983 · 10/02/2026 22:44

Full on fight, the police were called. It was actually more like a brawl. It was a nice hotel, the bride looked lovely but ended up with blood smeared over her. It was awful! Nice wedding up to that point!

Not Stephen Fry, no.

This guest equally eloquent & knowledgeable in his own specialist subject.

I thought David Starkey

Did he end up going off with the lightning-strike guest?!??!

Ohhh!!! sorry - working backwards and see you already answered that. But I have another question! What did the lightning strike look like, and did the bride notice?!
