To ask your ultimate wedding guest scandal?

[greenbean80]

Well, my story is pretty scandalous. I’m from Indian heritage … a cousin I had not seen for years invited by my family to my wedding - she wore her bloody wedding outfit her glam reception - red outfit - all her freaking jewellery I mean Wtaf and I’m still not over it and it’s been 17 years

At my friend’s wedding, the groom and best man (his brother) had a stand up fight after the groom discovered that he’d slept with his ex-wife while they were married years prior. God knows how he found out on his wedding day!

My DM and her DP had a huge argument and he walked out.
He accused my DM of flirting with my FIL which was boloney.

We had two people turn up to the sit down reception who had not been invited, nor catered for nor on the seating plan. They shoved themselves onto a table and ate and drank plenty. Bless them :(
I also heard my cousin ask a member of the wait staff if he 'wanted to come outside and say that mate '

I'm confused. Is there something wrong with wearing a red dress and jewelry to a wedding?

Red is the bridal colour in indian weddings.

I think it is like someone turning up in a white wedding dress complete with veil and bouquet.

Ah, thank you!
Every day's a school day. 😊

i think that’s what brides traditionally wear to Indian weddings.
the equivalent of a guest wearing their own white wedding dress to a traditionally British wedding

😢

This probably isn't scandalous enough but at my friends wedding her brothers best friend and her former family au pair (who lived with them when friend was a child and used to also babysit for said friend) were caught shagging in some woodland behind the venue.

That was more ick than scandalous though. Both adults by then of course but bleurgh! She was married with kids too.

Love this!!! But what footwear?!! 🤣

At a lot of weddings, black, white and red are out as colours. When I moved to England, I was told that wearing red to a local wedding meant you'd slept with the groom-I hadn't heard that before. Others have already said why most guests won't wear red to an Indian weddings, but you should also avoid white and black.
OP, you want examples of shocking guests:
One guest licked the bride's face.
The groom's father demanded a different meal a week before the wedding-the couple had sent invitations asking for any dietary requests, and he didn't have allergies/religious needs, just wanted his own way.
He pulled a non-related woman to the floor to dance-when the couple were doing their first dance.
A member of the bridal party changed her baby's nappy at the top table (no reason she couldn't have gone to the toilets).
Bridesmaids turned up really late.
Woman turned up with 3 kids and let them scream throughout the ceremony.
Not all the same wedding, obviously!

My now ex husband and I were sat in a table
ot all his friends and their partners. One friend had a new girlfriend and my ex said loudly she’s lovely I’d like to bang her. It caused a huge row between the men and an awkward day thereafter ( all the men on that table and the groom had slept around on the stag do I discovered years later)

Someone wore a white lace dress to a wedding after she was specifically asked not to by the groom. Things were already awkward as she’d previously slept with the groom (prior to the bride and groom meeting) and the bride didn’t want her there to begin with.

I was once accidentally the scandalous guest.

In my early twenties I went to my first wedding and wore a 50s style black dress covered in little pictures of red cherries with green leaves. Wore it with red accessories and thought I looked very cool and retro.

Found out on the day that the bride’s family was very traditional, and strongly believed that wearing black to a wedding meant that you were mourning it, wearing red meant you’d previously slept with the groom, and wearing green meant that you were envious of the wedding.

Add to that the fact that I wore pictures of cherries (and cherry earrings) and they concluded that I’d lost my virginity to the groom, wished I was marrying him, and had chosen to publicly announce these facts through my outfit.

I have been very careful with wedding guest outfits since then!

A friends wedding. A guest’s boyfriend (plus 1) took cocaine in the toilets then vandalised the outside of the venue and got escorted off the premises by venue management. Thankfully bride and groom were unaware until the next day.

Mother of a friend of mine had had a few drinks and went to the loo. when she came back to the hall Grace after Dinner was being said so, in order to be inconspicuous, she crawled across the dance floor (in her evening dress).

I have never heard that about red and green (and I’m in my 60s). I can see that it is sensible for a guest not to wear red to an Indian wedding, but otherwise I can’t see a problem.

I seem to remember hearing years ago that it used to be considered unlucky to wear green, but that was only if you were the bride.

The father of the bride was known to have a drink problem. During the ceremony, he objected at the "any lawful impediment" part 😮

Turns out he'd been at the hip flask beforehand and thought it was the "Who giveth this woman?" part.

In my wild 20s, at a friend wedding … it was hotel, I had a room. In the afternoon I snuck off with my ex and shagged him, later in the evening shagged his cousin …

At a Reception in a marquee (well, big gazebo) in a back garden in Ilford a neighbour was invited. He started chatting people up and inviting them to his house. Eventually about 4 women were in his house two doors down having group sex. One of them came back over the garden fence and urged me to join them (I didn't). They were all climbing through the gardens all afternoon.

One of them had an autistic son who was distressed because he couldn't find his Mum and badly bashed another kid on the head. Everyone was saying 'where's his Mum?' and I had to explain she was away having sex with the guy from 2 doors down, Then she came back and the mother of injured child attacked her.

This is excellent

My mother found my exDH’s brother having sex in the toilets during the reception. Of a small venue.

At my cousin's wedding (she was the bride) the groom got really drunk and flirted with all the cousins, told the bride's uncles he'd made a mistake, snogged the bridesmaid on the dance floor and threw up on the dj.
