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

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).

You win! That one is hilarious! 😂

My one is - I accidentally caused a fight between the father of the groom and his partner by asking if he was looking forward to his big holiday - that he was going on without her and hadn’t told her about. She lamped him one 😳

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.

Show quote history

I wore a beautiful green dress to marry the love of my life.

He buggered off less than three years later. I clearly offended the fairies, big time (it used to be said that green was the colour of the Fay and they didn't like it being worn by humans!)

Not me, but years ago, someone I knew was telling me about their own wedding. Families had never met before. Turned out that brides dad had had an affair with grooms mum. Bride married her half brother. They now have two children with severe special needs.

Oh goodness this is so sad to read, I hear it’s common for long lost siblings to find each other attractive. This is of course a sad situation in that they weren’t to know :(

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!

Omg! What a nightmare

I was at a wedding where one of the guests decided to do a few lines of coke right before dinner could start (to suppress her appetite apparently) and ended up collapsing right in front of the open buffet; supposedly the coke was laced with something which caused her to have a seizure.

Out of propriety, we were all asked to leave the hall while she received first aid and they waited for the ambulance to arrive but by the time the paramedics got there, stabilised her and got her into the ambulance over an hour had already passed. Then because she had released 3 different types of bodily fluids all over the place, the venue had to do a proper deep clean so it was nearly 2 hours before the hall could be reopened and by that time everyone had left / wandered off into the city centre in search of food as we were all really hungry (word had got back that the buffet was a write off) so that was basically the end of the wedding reception. As the buffet had just been put out when she collapsed right in front of it, the food had to be thrown away due to the risk of contamination from airborne particles so not only did the bride and groom lose all that food / money and miss out on their reception, but they also lost money on a DJ who never got to play, favours that never got given out, a photobooth that went unused and they also had to pay out to meet the minimum payment for the bar. Then the cherry on top of the non cut wedding cake was that they also got given a hefty clean up fee from the venue as well!

this is a sad story … poor bride and groom!

Fairly tame in comparison.
A work colleague invited three of her colleagues to her wedding.
On the Monday I asked how colleagues wedding had gone. Turned out one of my colleagues who was renowned for mixing her drinks had drunk too much and when the main course was put on the tables she threw up all over her plate and everyone on her table hadn’t even begun eating.
The bride was livid as she was getting married at a luxury venue and had been planning the perfect wedding for 2 years.
The marriage didn’t last either, I’m not surprised though the bride was very enmeshed with her dp’s and dsis.

I didn’t know it was a thing, perhaps as over the years lenghas have changed, I know for example if your brother is getting married you can where your wedding outfit the day before (this is just a party for the groom’s side) but not the actual wedding day! My cousin had gone all out, I remember walking in and seeing her sitting there and thinking wtaf

Gracious! I have heard of all of those tales but never met anyone in real life that believed any such thing.

When my mother married my (vile) step-dad, they had a very small wedding. Party at home afterwards, rather than a proper reception.

He got tanked during the afternoon and took offense to one of the neighbours and started a fight. While this was all kicking off, his adult daughter yelled at him 'Not again dad!' At which point we realised he had a problem with violence.

Found out later that although he hadn't drunk a lot before he married Mum, that he was a violent alcoholic who beat his ex wife.

Sad that this only came to light on their wedding day. Eventually Mum left him. Because he was a violent alcoholic obvs.

Mine is a lucky escape from scandal story.

My husband's best man went AWOL before the wedding. The other groomsmen and friends were really keen to get the stag organised since it was just five weeks before the wedding, so since I was the only one who knew everyone, I set up the group and left it so everyone could coordinate.

The best man resurfaced and flipped. He claimed to have organised a stag do and paid a 1k deposit (when he had been in contact with NOBODY about dates and attendees). My fiance had to be restrained from falling for it and refunding him.

A stag do was organised at short notice, and one of the groomsmen stepped up as best man (should have been best man in the first place). A lovely and scandal free day was had by all.

Except... When we were in the airport two days later, we had finally left the black hole of signal at our wedding venue. And my husband's phone pings with a text from the "best" man. Turns out he texted a long, self-indulgent whinge on the eve of the wedding offering to come back in last minute and be best man.

It would have sent my husband into an absolute tailspin right before the wedding, the self-indulgent cunt. But bad signal saved my wedding!

Went to the 3rd wedding of the groom. He was nearly 60. Bride was late 30's.
His speech included joking about the baby oil he was going to use on his new bride and where he was putting it.
Her parents were sitting on the front row.

Wedding was at a chateau in France. Family only was actually staying there. But on the morning after, the owner’s kids (12, 13ish) were coming down for breakfast through some of the first floor ‘reception’ rooms, when they found a pair of non-family guests shagging in an ornate antique 4 poster bed that was part of the decor.

Luckily the kids (and everyone else) merely found it hilarious!

My exH’s friend’s girlfriend wore a white lace, off the shoulder midi dress to my wedding. No other colours on it- just white- with a white flower in her hair.

It was only the second time I’d met her.

Yeah, a supposedly good friend of mine (since high school) wore something similar (not off the shoulder but cream lace). I was really pissed off with her but to this day she doesn't know I was upset....maybe one day I should tell her?

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.

You can take Ilford out of Essex, but you can't take the Essex out of Ilford !

Come to think of it there was a second lucky escape at my wedding.

My school friend group had split in two a few years back after a big fall out between a few of them, I stayed friends with both sides. They had just about reached the stage of being civil at my wedding.

During dinner, just before the speeches, my husband was going around the tables, when one of my friends from one side of the fallout told him that I had been fingered at a party by the fiance of a friend from the other side of the fallout when we were teens!

Not only did this NEVER happen (we didn't even attend the same parties), if the other friend had heard of it, she would have kicked off big time. My husband only brought it up with me once all the guests had left.

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

Show quote history

It’s the equivalent of turning up to a Western wedding in a strapless white number and a veil and carrying a bouquet.

At a friend's wedding the brides mum left during the wedding meal with the photographer. She got up from the top table and was never seen again.

it transpired that she had been having an affair with the photographer (a family friend) for some time and decided to leave her husband for him during her daughters reception.

This was decades ago. The bride never spoke to her mum again and the mum never met her three lovely grandchildren. I hope the photographer was worth it.

One of my friends went to a wedding where the bride wanted all the men in kilts to dance to 'you can leave your hat on' from the full monty then lift their kilts to show their willy's. Friends DH declined and she was furious.

I was at a friends wedding and she was marrying a Scot. They did something similar at the reception to "Donald Where's Your Troosers" but the punchline was when the kilts were lifted up they all had on joke underwear of an elephant's head, with the trunk sticking out of it.

Groom and his best man (also his brother) doing coke in the loos. Groom drags him by his feet onto the dance floor at 9pm. He's in full cardiac arrest screaming for help. Bride is doing cpr. Us bridesmaids try to get all the little kids outside. Ambulance arrives. Blue lights him to hospital. He died. All grooms family leaves the wedding. Police arrive. Shut off the music and place themselves outside the loos. Groom at a table crying. Bride still trying to save her wedding and dance in silence....

This happened to a man in our village - not at a wedding though, just at home on a weekday evening. Turns out coke is a really effective way of finding out if you’ve got an unknown-about heart condition…

Not really scandalous, but....
My dad's (much, by about 20+ years) older sister was invited to her granddaughter's husband's sister's wedding evening 'do'.
She'd met some of that side of the family, but not the bridegroom, before.
Apparently the groom wasn't, in her view, a 'looker', and she was heard to comment, when observing him with his pregnant bride, "Dear me, it must have been dark the night she went with him...."

Also, my Northern Irish father in law told me about a family wedding he'd been at years ago when the bottom tier of the wedding cake was hurled across the room, came to rest on a wall light, then slowly made it's merry way down to the carpet.
And nobody turned a hair.

Wasn't a scandal at the time as only a few of the men who were on the stag do knew what the reference was, but at my best friends wedding the best man who was the grooms brother gave a lovely speech then toasted the bridesmaids and the bride then made a toast to "miss America" a few people laughed mainly because we didn't get the joke.
My best friend found out recently that miss America was the prostitute her soon to be ex husband slept with on his stag do.

I’m amazed that a man managed to get 4 women to do this.

was he incredibly handsome / charming?

I just can’t envision women ever doing that.
