Worst behaviour seen at a wedding. :)

[anyabanya]

... Inspired by a thread in AIBU. (But not a thread about a thread. )

what is the worst behaviour you have seen/witnessed/heard of at a wedding?

A couple I have heard of.... Groom's mother turns up dressed in her own wedding dress and carrying a bouquet.

Another one.... during wedding speeches, Grooms mother gets up and welcomes her DIL into the family by stating 'Remeber. He will never love you as much as he loves me'.

At our wedding. It was the first time both families had all met.

During the reception. Groom Dad - My FIL told Brides stepdad - my stepdad whilst pointing to BRIDES mother - my MOTHER.

'Im taking her home tonight'

OMG i was mortified when i heard.

The the groom was fighting with his dad outside!

At our wedding reception one of the groomsman's and a female friend of mine got v.drunk. She has always been a 'bit of a goer' and he had just returned from a 6 month stint with the services.

Anyway, they started groping each other whilst sitting on a chaise long, (baps out, hands down pants!) next to my elderly aunts. DH asks them to take it someplace else.

They kindly left, only to return 45 minutes later, red-faced, hair messed up and in their hotel dressing gowns to enjoy the late buffet!

TheCrackFox - I think I was at the wedding you talked about. I was stood by the cake with my son (who kept trying to nick cupcakes off the stand) so I was right near the best man as he gave his speech. My DH said my face froze into a grim smile - speeches like that are so disrespectful to the bride.

My DSis got stranded at the church as there was 'confusion' over who was taking her and BIL to the reception - My Grandpa (who took her to the church) or her FIL (who hired a car 'especially to take them to the reception'). Grandpa was told FIL was taking them, FIL saw Grandpa bringing her, FIL too keen to get to bar and get wasted decided he wasn't needed.

They both drove off quick as a flash to the reception 20+ miles away, and my Dad got a worried phone call when we were half-way to the reception ourselves. So he turned around and she and BIL ended up in my dad's clapped out Montego estate, with BIL squashed in between me and screaming DS who was hungry but as I was at my fattest curviest, I couldn't fit on the middle seat... so had to lean across BIL to try to shush DS.

My wedding, my phone got nicked, turned up in the gents loo without the SIM card . And apparently I was sozzled tipsy and wandered around with a large carving knife demanding that everyone have a piece of the wedding cake which my Grandma had made for me

I used to work in a posh health club. I knew a few of the members and used to see them regularly on nights out. There was a guy and a girl i used to see regularly who i presumed were an item which i thought nothing of.
Anyway my mum's friend invited her to her daughters wedding and she took me as a guest. I was horrified to see that it was the guy from the health club, but he wasn't marrying his 'girlfriend', in fact his 'girlfriend' was the chief bridesmaid. It was incredibly awkward congratulating them as well as keeping what I knew from my mum. it was an excruciating afternoon and when the priest said that line about no one knowing any lawful impediment I felt like my face was on fire.

I went to a wedding where the best man forgot the rings......

Drunken racist speech from the father of the bride. No-one knew where to look. Gist was he 'still' loved and welcomed his new SIL 'even though he's a P*ki'. Horrendous.

However MY worst behaviour at a wedding was, with two pals, grabbing the band's microphone during their break and drunkenly trying to lead people in an awful rendition of Last Christmas. Baaaaaaaaaad!

Oh coolma, what a disastrous day! Hope you get your honeymoon eventually.

Have related this on here before, but I was at a wedding in the 80's where the groom's sluttily glamorous middle-aged auntie came on to the dancefloor while the couple were having their 'first dance' dressed as a playboy bunny, tapped the bride on the shoulder and finished the dance with the groom herself. Her husband was proudly grinning and looking round at the (horrified) rest of us for approval.

Not as bad as a lot on here, but at our wedding the best man wolf whistled as I walked down the aisle (he was met with a stony glare from MIL) and then when they got to the bit about any reasons why the couple shouldn't be married DH's 16 month old niece shouted very loudly!

But when I was in my teens I went out to Spain as a nanny at a very posh wedding. The groom's friends all got ridiculously drunk, broke into the honeymoon suite and completely trashed it, smashing up the furniture and everything. They were later arrested.

at my wedding...

all was going well until, after the ceremony we sent everyone to the reception venue in a coach we had booked and paid for over a month earlier and went on our merry way to the reception in our limo little did we know that while we were sat sipping champagne in the limo our guests were being wrangled for money by the coach driver who claimed we hadnt paid him and wouldnt let anyone else off the coach until the full balance (£150) was paid and proceeded to take money from the guests as they got off the coach my FIL came storming over to us when we arrived to the venue and practically shouted at us that we had ruined the day all was ok once it was explained and we told him we had paid and had reciepts (i had them in my bag but the driver was long gone by then) we did get the money back but no apology from the coach company who we will never use again!!

later that night my uncle left to pick up my cousin and his DP and DCs. he decided to bring my other cousin who i havent seen for years...mainly due to her being a serious hardcore drug addict and proistitute/lap dancer she then proceeded to smoke rock cocaine outside and was wearing a very short cream lace dress with an underlay dress under it. once she was nice and high she decided it was a great idea to take the underlay dress off and dance around with just the lace dress on, no bra and a black g-string. she also started to give a lap dance to DH's friend infront of said friends wife and 18mo DD the friend was no best pleased as he is a quite straight laced religious type and was very red faced and flustered. we had to ask her to leave at which point she looked at my cleavage (substantial in the halterneck dress i wore...(pics on profile)...) and said well at least im not the only slut at the party ermm.. yep i think you are slutty cousin

At my wedding my SIL was a complete nightmare on the back of the registrar asking that any crying babies be discreetly taken outside during the ceremony. SIL took this that my mother didnt want her baby at the wedding??!!

So...she left the pram against the door I was meant to come through as the bride, when asked to move it she charged it into me and pushed it over my train etc. (I was obviusly unaware she was pissed off as i stood nervously on other side of door waiting to make my entrance)

Then she refused to come into the blessing later sobbing that she had missed that part!
Then when everyone was asked to take their seats for our entrance as husband and wife at the meal. She refused, stormed out yelling to DH that she was going for a piss instead!

Then during the meal, she took her 6 month old baby to her hotel room and left it in there alone when she came back to the meal. Then called my mum and I bitches when we told her we could hear the baby crying.

During the meal she stormed out crying in front of everyone shouting how her baby wasnt welcome. With all the family stood up shouting after her to come back.

Then at the evening do, she had full on screaming rows with all DH's family at how she wasnt welcome, how they should all go to bed. Family all told her she was an attention seeking drama queen and refused to talk to her.

So then she had a full on drunken row with her own DH who called her a shit mother! Then she tried to pour a drink over me, but i was holding her baby and she soaked the baby instead!

Two years later at another wedding, she launched into a row with us again about our wedding, and then with me 5 months pregnant said how me and the baby would die in childbirth! She's not a very welcome guest at celebrations anymore!

At my wedding reception, I was called a silly bitch and slapped round the face (twice) by my mother's evil best friend. In the middle of the dance floor.

Bizarrely, they still see each other, and she has never apologised.

At a friends wedding:

brother of bride got pissed drinking pints of wine, spent the afternoon fighting and puking.

an uncle had a punch up with his only son, who then vanished into the night

Bride and groom sent home early, as she couldn't stand up!

father of the groom fell off a wall and broke his back, though he didn't realise until the next day, when he woke up in agony. He was hospitalised for weeks. Apparently the same thing happened to shakespeare...

All in all, far too much wine, was great!

Firepile, how awful.

It was, Sayanything.

But every cloud has a silver lining - and in this case there are three:

1. it is a very funny story with a bit of distnace behind it

1. we never have to speak to her again, and

1. my cousin-in-law got 2 clear punches in, demonstrating that I was very much invited into the family.

Although I am gutted that my mum still speaks to her.

This happened to a friend of mine last year -she went to the wedding of a very dear old friend who was the bride. The bride was an hour and a half late for the ceremony because she'd suddenly developed a truly horrendous headache, couldn't stand up, kept vomiting etc. Doctor called - diagnosed a migraine brought on through stress/excitement. Bride pulled herself together and dragged herself to the ceremony, looking like death warmed up.

After the ceromony Bride and Groom go off the sign the register - and never come back. Guests all mill around for ages, and are eventually asked to go on ahead to the reception, and start without them.. At the meal the announcement is made that Bride is very ill and has been taken to hospital - apparently she'd collapsed while signing the register. They have the party without Bride and Groom, and in the morning they get the news that she has suffered a massive life-threatening brain haemorrhage and is on life support.

She stayed in hospital for weeks on end, and it was touch and go as to whether she'd live at all. But she did, thank God.

Another very very sad one. My friends went to a work colleagues wedding, they all live in the Netherlands.

You have the civil ceremony and then the church bit later that day. Groom was feeling unwell after the civil part laid down for a rest and died!

How utterly utterly horrendous.

Haven't got any funny stories to cheer you up after this.

OMG Fellatio, thank goodness she's ok in the long run

Just remembered another one.

Best Man's speech consisted of taking all the guests through an overhead projector image of a magazine article from a real sleazy rag in which the groom, in his younger days, had been "interviewed" about how " Women never fake their orgasms with me".

When I went to the wedding of my ex-sil, her bridesmaid had a boyfriend who was particularly loud and obnoxious and got very drunk, as did my ex-DH.

I got fed up and went home because my DH wanted to drink himself into the ground and I'd had enough. Much later one, he came home absolutely covered in blood - not his, and feeling very pleased with himself.

Apparently he'd gone out into the car park to find the obnoxious guy hitting the Bridesmaid, so he'd waded in with his brother and they pasted him senseless. Glad I missed it all TBH. Not my idea of a fun night out, even if he did deserve it.

Also went to a wedding of one of Ex-DHs cousins, where some of the guests on the brides side appeared to be - how can I put this nicely? Um, members of the traditional romantic travelling community. Several of her old aunties had turned up in their best silver sparkly...carpet slippers.

Sorry, should reiterate, this was my EX-DH! Current DH is rather more well-behaved!

Just remembered at my sister's wedding her husband's Grandad started making groaning noises and collapsed into the aisle during their vows! He was carted outside and an ambulance called. Then his wife (the Granny) had a bit of panic attack and virtually collapsed herself. They were both carted off to hospital to be checked over and appeared back at the reception halfway through the evening!
