For fun! What is the most boring/weird/random wedding you've ever been to?

@Christina. I think it was called "...and fist pumping". I love the show too and was super excited. She ended up coming in last mostly because she had 3 different dresses and the other brides HATED that. It gave me a new perspective on the show cause the cram 5 hour event into 10 minutes. There were a lot of fun aspects that were left out.

@Happy In Hawaii, while I did not attend the wedding of a Mormon girl I went to high school with, I saw the pictures of it on facebook and it sounds exactly the same as the wedding you attended based on what I've heard from other guests as well. I KNOW her family has a ton of money and could've thrown a very nice reception for them, but they left the temple (and they got married in that huge one in Salt Lake City) and went and had a pizza reception at picnic tables in a local park.

The weirdest wedding I've been too was actually an absolutely beautiful wedding and very well done, except for the ceremony. First, the bride had her old pageant coach sing during the ceremony, which is fine. Except she forgot the words to the song. Obviously not something the bride could've anticipated and to her credit, she covered it up so well that no one would've noticed had they not known the song. But FH and I immediately noticed. Then the pastor, who was very old, gets on this tangent about death and would not stop! Literally at one point he said "you will spend your life together, and then you will die, and mark my words, YOU WILL DIE." He would not stop talking about them dying, it went on for 10 minutes. It was really odd. Other than that, I've been fortunate to attend some very nice weddings haha.

Holy sh!t Hawaii those BM dresses are hideous.

My cousins wedding was a shit show from the start, they forgot the wedding license so the ceremony was delayed while they went to find it, the cake was from stop and shop and the writing on it a five year old could have done, the employees at the venue were constantly rude to me, and to top it off the groom got so drunk he passed out from alcohol poisoning after the second dance and had to be taken away in an ambulance.

I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you. And I'd never work again, lol...

Wendy, I always like to mention the apocalypse in my wedding scripts. It's a real crowd pleaser.....

I love this tread!

For me it would be my co-workers wedding this past summer, They were running late, so the decided to put the cocktail hour before ceremony unannounced, the bride had lost her shoes and jewelry and they had to make two trips home to find them. There were bees and hornets all around during the cocktail hour. After the ceremony the food took forever, the DJ's assistant wore a white dress, and to top it all off the best mans speech was all about how he taught the Groom to pickup women in Bars.

Any religious ceremony where everything is else is put before the two people getting married (god, family, friends, community, but not the couple!)

Seen it several times, but I come from a Catholic family and it drives me nutso.

My brother's wedding was in Israel and was in Yiddish. On the one hand, that is the local language, and I'm sure 90% of the attendees understood, but those of us who had flown thousands of miles to be there did *not*. One which was unavoidably boring I just happened to be seated next to The Most Boring Woman Ever. That was one long reception, but wasn't really anyone's fault.

This is an amazing thread. @Lori, what an amazing bride!

Cash bar and no one was told so we didn't bring a lot of cash...whomp whomp. Majority of the music was oldies and repeated...sorry, I can only pretend to like the chicken dance so many times. The bride was so drunk she showed her lady bits during the garter toss...the look on FH's face was hilarious. I literally couldn't stop laughing.

I couldn't make up a story as crazy as some as these. Holy sh#t!

I went to a wedding two years ago it started two hours late then they ran out of food before I could get to the buffet line, it had a cash bar on and it was in a nightclub so they charged nightclub prices ($12.00 for a rum and coke). I ended up leaving with two of the bridesmaids and going to IHOP oh and on top of it all the DJ kept trying to hit on different women at the wedding so he was calling out..." Hey girl in the black dress you looking good" on the microphone. It was just a hot mess all the way around.

The most awkward moment I've ever witnessed at a wedding occurred at one I was in. The groom's cousin had a meltdown after the recessional. She came to the holding room where we all were congratulating the newly married couple. She literally broke down crying and lamenting about how she wasn't married and how badly she wanted to be. She kept saying she never was going to find anyone. The groom spent about 10 minutes trying to console her. The bride was done. I and the rest of the wedding party stood there with our mouths open. LOL!

I guess the weirdest wedding I ever attended would be my brother's, but it wasn't because the wedding itself was bad. It was actually very lovely. The thing that made it weird was that my sister (she was 25 at the time) threw a fit in the middle of the reception because she didn't like any of the food that was served. She made my dad, the father of the groom, leave in the middle of the reception and drive her to McDonalds. When they got back my sister just sat there eating from her McDonalds bag. Then at the end of the night she got into a screaming match with my SIL's stepsister. I can't even remember what they were fighting about, but it was completely mortifying.

I attended a dry wedding, but didn't know it was dry until the reception started. Except, the groom's family somehow kept showing up with Bud Light cans. So it was dry for everyone but the groom's family. Then, the groom's father was asked to make a speech, and his whole speech was about how divorce doesn't exist in their family and they have to work things out no matter what. It was incredibly awkward.

I have been to a lot of weird/bad/awkward weddings:

One was a potluck wedding in the middle of the summer. I was dressed in heels and had to walk down a choppy gravel road to a mosquito infested pond for a long winded ceremony. My heels broke, I got sunburned, and at the end of the night almost every one who attended had food poisoning from the non-refrigerated food. I ended up in the hospital from dehydration.

One wedding for whatever reason there were a bunch of bratty kids in attendance. They RAN WILD. Parents were throwing back drinks at the bar and just assumed "someone" at the venue would babysit their hellions. One mother ended up locking about 10-15 children under the age of 12 in the ladies restroom - it - was - horrible.

We went to a dry wedding which is fine - but the best man had TWO KEGS in the back of his truck and guests kept on leaving the reception to chug from the kegs. The bride's mother threw a FIT but not before the bride's sister made a very embarrassing, drunken speech that made the whole room gasp.

We went to a "black tie" wedding that when we arrived at the reception all they had food-wise to hold us over was a chocolate fountain with marshmallows. The bride wanted pictures taken at some park a considerable distance from the venue so their pictures took over 2 hours. We left the venue and went to McDonald's and came back. They also ran out of food at their buffet as well.

We went to a shotgun destination wedding - the bride got pregnant on accident so they threw a wedding together in about 2 months. They had NO FOOD for almost the entire first two hours of the reception but they had an open bar - so everyone was drunk. The bride and groom hurriedly did a dance, cut the cake, and then they disappeared. They vanished from their reception about an hour after they arrived. The bride being about 4 months along at the time was tired and wanted to go lay down - but that was the cue for everyone to bolt from the reception. People were literally running out because they thought they were committing a faux pas by staying after the bride and groom departed.

Well, there was my nephew's wedding. The bride was Muslim and from Malaysia. My nephew (raised Catholic) had to at least nominally convert to being Muslim, and the ceremony had to be Muslim, or the bride would have been criminally prosecuted if she'd ever gone back to Malaysia. Only the bride's father (not even her mother!) was invited to the ceremony, but we all got to meet at the reception. The bride's father spoke almost no English, and both the bride's parents were seriously homophobic. The groom's father (my brother-in-law) is Mexican, speaks little English, is seriously homophobic, and is convinced that his son is going to Hell for converting to Islam. So pretty much the only thing that the bride's parents and the groom's father can agree on is that a) NotFroofy and I are going to Hell for being in a same-sex marriage, b) I'm going to Hell for being Jewish, and c) NotFroofy is going to Hell for not having a religion.

I just went too one yesterday for my cousin. She's pretty tomboy, so plain dress, gross food, 0 alcohol and no dancing. They decided to have a piñata instead of dancing, bouquet and garter toss.

I went to my cousins wedding yesterday. She's very untraditional, but the wedding was so boring. Her dress had no style, she had no dancing, gross food, and instead of dancing there was a piñata and 0 alcohol.
