Was at a seemingly lovely wedding at the weekend. Beautiful setting and lovely ceremony.

One of my friends was chief bridesmaid and she had put so much effort into making the day perfect for the happy couple. But she started to drink a lot after the ceremony and by the end of dinner she was very tipsy and all over the singer from the wedding band. They had been playing some acoustic songs throughout the day and she kept making requests. It was obvious she fancied him.

Later on, one of the other guys from the band was lovely and asked if I had seen their singer because they were setting up for their evening set. I mentioned that my friend was also missing so went to look for them together. We joked that maybe they had eloped or something.

But nothing prepared me for what I was about to witness. Behind the outdoor toilets, my friend was down on her knees giving the singer from the band oral. I was mortified and the other guy from the band told me his friend had done this a few times. We are not even sure if they seen us and I’ve been too embarrassed to bring it up with my friend.

On the up side, the other guy from the band was really sweet and we danced a bit later that night and swapped numbers.

What is the craziest thing you’ve ever witnessed at a wedding?

That’s quite funny and no harm done ! Every wedding has a drama, if this is the worst it gets then the bride & groom got away lightly !

Urgh how minging

and unprofessional of the band member

Band members are not accountants! Surely sex and drugs and rock and roll is part of their profession?

Conclusion: my family (myself included) and friends are boring. Nothing like this has ever happened at a wedding I’ve been at.

As I stated, the guy from the band needed their lead singer to get ready for the set. Yes, the chief bridesmaid was technically off duty but the other bridesmaids were still going round chatting to people.

It is not the act I’m shocked about but the timing of it. Couldn’t she have waited a bit?

So now you're not shocked at all, you just think she should have waited till -- when? After midnight? After the band finished its set and the singer was free again? I reckon that if a chief bridesmaid who has put a lot of effort into making her friend's wedding day run smoothly kept it together until the end of dinner, she's well and truly off duty, whatever the other bridesmaids are doing. And gets to do whatever she likes when off the clock. After dinner at the last wedding I attended, the bridesmaids changed into their own clothes after dinner.

Your language is insanely melodramatic, too.

But nothing prepared me for what I was about to witness.

That wouldn't even make the top ten of stuff I've encountered at weddings

Which shows why asking chat gpt instead of using your own brain leads to stupidity. Read the original comment again, carefully.

Well, looks like someone needs to learn how not to be rude eh?

Well, I'd have said that being the singer in a wedding band is definitely not the non-rock and roll end of being in a band, so you'll take the free buffet leftovers and sex where you can get it.

You've not lived until you've pulled at a wedding!
Should have kept your nosey nose out and you would never have known! You knew what you would find when you went looking behind the toilets! 😜

Delatron · 06/07/2026 15:30

Why did you go looking for her? Especially behind the toilets! Nosey! If they are both single leave them be and stop being such a prude.

Ballotine · 06/07/2026 15:31

AgnesX · 06/07/2026 15:18

Behind the outdoor toilets? Classy I don't think.

I don't think 'classy' sex is a thing. I once had sex in a bunker on a golf course beside a hotel I was attending a wedding at. I mean, I don't recommend it...

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 06/07/2026 15:36

Years ago the best man of a groom I knew, was spotted shagging (not by me) one of the bridesmaids, well going into her hotel room. It can’t have been just for coffee. The bridesmaid knew he was engaged but she was newly single and had a bit of a fuck you attitude at the wedding, flirting outrageously with lots of men. Best man had his own fiancée though who spent ages looking for him and his mates kept on giving her different information to throw her off the scent. She went back to their hotel room, I was with her. Next morning at breakfast only the bridesmaid came down (the fiance and best man must’ve stayed in their hotel room). Cue a few people asking her where she’d got to, and a few laughs. Best man and fiancee broke up a year later, he’d been caught cheating, not with the same bridesmaid.

Let’s be serious, you would be totally ok with seeing one of your good friends giving a guy head in public at a wedding?

Yes, she should have had a little self control to wait and do it in private. She had a lovely room at the venue she could have gone to.

Personally think it's a bit tacky, but there's so much worse out there at other people's weddings!

Was once at a wedding where there were a bunch of class A drug-fuelled fights, the police were called to an upstairs room at the hotel where it was really kicking off and an unconscious - and much older - guy who'd OD'd (didn't die) was found in bed with a guest's 16 year old boy. Absolute carnage.

Edited to add that nothing untoward had happened to the boy, thank God.

Jeezo!

I can confirm, my friend is unattached for sure. The singer guy I can only assume he’s single too but don’t know him.

Some people like the thrill of possibly being seen and caught though.

Read my OP again… I was helping the other band member look for their singer because they had to get set up for the show.

They had been flirting beforehand hence why we went together to look for them. It was nothing to do with being nosey.

If she was single and it was all consensual I really wouldn't see an issue.

Least it wasn't the groom ...

Family wedding and the couple turned their first dance into something that could have gone straight onto porn hub. No one needs to see tongues on a dance floor. The worst bit was that they'd asked their guests to crowd round them in a circle holding LED candles for the videographer so there was no escaping it. Our poor Nan was horrified, and kept saying "what are they doing" over and over. In the end, the Bride's Dad had to tap them on the shoulders. And funnily enough, it wasn't in the wedding video...

Guests (who were at least a couple) at my DB’s second wedding were doing what my mum termed as dirty dancing on the dance floor. She wasn’t impressed! I didn’t really notice them as I was being chatted up by a male guest whom I was trying to escape from, despite my boyfriend being there.

Willsmer · 06/07/2026 15:47

Not sure if this would count but I was at a wedding and after the reception the two Mother in Laws were circling in the lobby of the Hotel aiming for a fight. They had been sniping at each other for most of the day.

I don't think you attend many weddings, do you? I'm quite aware my friends have sexual impulses, and don't necessarily chose the people or the moment i might choose to exercise them in. I don't get exercise about that. My good friend could blow the entire band as long as she was enjoying herself as far as I'm concerned.

The band member did presumably need to find his singer to start playing again, but as it was obvious to you both that your friend and the singer were together and probably having sex, and her bridesmaid duties were over, I don't see (1) why you went looking for her in the first place and (2) why you are shocked they were engaged in a sexual act.

Even in a hoary old classic like Four Weddings and a Funeral, Lydia the bridesmaid says she 'was promised sex', that everyone told her that being a bridesmaid meant sex.

My boss got married years ago and invited me and her assistant. The assistant was invited with a few jobs to do - so pay the hairdresser, tip the driver etc. My job was to drive myself and the assistant to the venue and home the next morning .. Only I couldn't find her! She was meant to share my room but went on a coke binge with the grooms men.. she had lost her dress & shoes and I had to get her out of the hotel and into the car wearing a sheet with out our boss seeing.

I'm crying laughing at this 😂

It was in no way your business to reunite the band member with the singer. Of course you were being nosy. You say you were joking with the other band member about them having eloped together, so you knew perfectly well they were together somewhere, and that as she'd been all over him earlier, that it was likely they were having sex. You knew what you were going to find. If you were 'shocked' by 'what you witnessed', that's on you.

I bet he didn't wash beforehand. That would give me the ick.

Family wedding at a relative’s chateau in France. A lot of guests, but only family staying on the premises.

In the morning the older children (12/13 ish) of the owner were coming down to breakfast on the ground floor - which entailed walking through about 3 large reception/sitting rooms on the first floor, to get to the stairs.

In one of those rooms, a pair of yesterday’s guests, who should have left the premises the night before, were shagging in an ornate antique 4 poster bed that was a feature of the room!

Glad to say that the kids merely found it utterly hilarious!

I could not ride him with a sock
I could not ride him in a frock
I could not ride that wedding jock…
