Cringiest thing you've witnessed at a wedding?

[Fourtwenty]

We were secretly sent the lyrics to the first dance and as a surprise we all had to stand up and sing it to the couple.

My toes were curling

[WildIrishRose1]

Tinsel Ah ha!! Doing, not during.

Slightly less awkward.

Yeah, that's way better!! Tbf, I saw "doing" as well...

[FellOutOfBed2wice]

Placemarking because these are brilliant!

[WildIrishRose1]

"During" gaahh!

[OlennasWimple]

When the sister of the bride sang for the couple's first dance it was rather lovely: her voice wasn't terrible, and it made a standard part of the wedding more personal. The second song wasn't sung quite so well and went on a bit, but the rest of the wedding party joined the B&G on the dance floor so OK.

By the time we reached the fifth song.....Gah!!!!!

honor I think we may have been at the same wedding re. The unrequited love best woman scenario.

theghosts I went to one where the bride's father spent most of his speech talking about the priest. barely mentioned the bride*

[WhiteCaribou]

I went to a wedding where the groom's family had all been attending a slimming club. During the speeches the groom's mum whipped out a set of weighing scales and all the family members trooped up to be weighed while she wrote down the weights in her notebook and congratulated each o e on their weightloss, with special congratulations for the biggest loser (!) Then the rest of the speeches continued as if nothing unusual had happened. At the same wedding the bride's father, a dedicated fan of a particular football team who never missed a match (but had to for his daughter's wedding), sat at the top table with a radio in his pocket and headphones in so he could listen to the match and was thus oblivious to everything that was happening around him.

The marriage lasted about a year.

A better question would be what would the cringiest thing all your wedding guests would think happened at your wedding?

[crunched]

When my cousin finally married, he and his partner had been together for years and everyone was speculating about " why now?".
As he made his speech, he announced that there was not going to be just him and his new wife sat at their table, there was to be a third person! All the guests clapped and cheered. He looked confused. Turned out he meant Jesus

Nothing - we eloped.

[Cantseethewoods]

amy yes!! I'd love to go to my own wedding as a guest!

[IAmAmy]

I'm sure most people on here slating every wedding they've been to didn't elope...

[IAmAmy]

Cantseethewoods indeed

I've only been to one wedding and I was bored to death. Every moment was cringeworthy.

[misskelly]

One wedding that had four bridesmaids and one flower girl and the groom personally thank each one and gave them a gift, except for the flower girl. Hopefully was just an oversight and not intentional, really felt for the flower girl.

At another wedding a guest got the microphone off the DJ and went down on one knee to propose to his girl friend, she said no. Was mortifying to watch but they had been at our table and he was behaving as if it was the first Social even he had ever attended. Even before the proposal you could see the embarrassment on the girl friends face. She scarpered soon after, a lucky escape for her.

[IAmAmy]

Though I am in fits of laughter that people think all these weddings were cringeworthy but their weddings were perfect

[TinselTwins]

I'm sure most people on here slating every wedding they've been to didn't elope…

I didn't, but the guffs at my own wedding would out me

The killjoys were bound to come along, thing is a wedding isn't a wedding until something comical/unplanned happened and most couples will tell the tales of cringe moments from their own weddings in real life, I do!

[AndNoneForGretchenWieners]

amy at least I was honest and my own wedding was cringey in parts. I also missed out my most embarrassing part, which reveals I am a terrible person and should be shot- the registrar had a speech impediment and my vows were made through fits of giggles

[Cantseethewoods]

To be fair I had to think pretty hard for cringeworthy moments- been to more than 50 weddings and never seen a choreographed first dance. A few boring speeches but nothing really inapprpriate other than the priest one.

[IAmAmy]

Weddings are so boring. If I ever get married, I'd elope. I was bored to death at the only wedding I've ever been to and would never want to subject anyone to that.

[NoncommittalToSparkleMotion]

Oh there were definitely cringe worthy moments at my wedding. I just drank til I forgot about them.

[Pinkheart5915]

I'm sure most people on here slating every wedding they've been to didn't elope…

I did elope actually, had a lovely wedding in San Francisco just my baby boy and mine & dh parents. That's my kind of wedding!

[ExplodedCloud]

I remained clothed throughout my wedding amy so yes I feel free to cringe.
Feel free to tell us about your wedding or the one you've been to. Since you have your judgy pants on at the judges

[NoMoreBones]

I went to a wedding where they ran out of food before half the room had been fed. Ex had to run out and get Mcd's for the kids.

Ooo that reminds me of the one where the bride thought the venue's "approved caterers" list was more of a helpful guideline/recommendations than a rule!

Booked a family friend's company

Venue contacted her the week of the wedding: "we haven't heard from any of our caterers, which one are you using"? bride said using their own, venue said hell no! not happening!

So the couple had to get one of the approved caterers to fill in at short notice, they didn't really pull it off, there wasn't enough food, we were given half portions and there was nothing for special dietary requirements.

[wildthingsmummy]

I went to a wedding where the groom did his speech in rhyme, but got tongue-tied and accidently called his new MIL a 'cracking bitch'. I'm not sure exactly what he meant to say, but he never actually finished his speech, he was so mortified!

At another wedding, the maid of honour walked down the aisle with her dress tucked into her knickers and swore really loudly when someone told her.

[NoncommittalToSparkleMotion]

"a cracking bitch."
