What is the craziest/worst thing that happened at your wedding?

I made the mistake of inviting not only all 7 BMs (plus MOH, my mother, MIL, nephew/RB and FG) but also two BMs daughters (total of 3 girls) to get ready in the hotel suite my sister/MOH, my nephew and I stayed in the night before the wedding. It was chaos! While we were finishing up getting dressed one of the BMs asked her husband to "grab" her "stuff". In addition to her jewelry box and belongings, he grabbed my silver heart-shaped jewelry box (with the wedding bands in it) and brought it up to their hotel room (luckily we had the ceremony and reception at the hotel). We lined up for the ceremony and I asked my nephew for the jewelry box (the bridesmaids had already walked down the aisle so standing there was my sister/MOH, ring bearer and flower girl and my dad and I). He didn't have the jewelry box, I asked my sister if she had the jewelry box and she didn't have it. (I wanted the box as I had planned to waited to take off my e-ring until I was ready to walk down the aisle). My sister and I "raced" (because you can only go so fast in a wedding gown) back to the suite and looked for about 10 minutes (without realizing that no one said anything to the groom or the guests, they were all just sitting there wondering what was going on). Finally I decided that we would just go ahead without the rings. When it came time for the ring exchange I took off my e-ring and my FIL (who officiated as well) used his wedding ring and we "faked" the exchange. During cocktail hour we found out what had happened and BM's husband went and got the rings so we had them when the reception started so it all worked out in the end. (The worst part of the whole thing was that the jewelry box I had was a gift from him and his wife for helping plan their entire wedding in 7 weeks and my name was engraved on the top of the jewelry box. I don't really understand how he could have mistaken my jewelry box for one of his wife's jewelry boxes.)

The only thing that stands out to me this far out is my sister's date. He was extremely creepy, hit on all the bridesmaids and tried to stay in the room while my dress was being put on - SIL had to literally hold the door open and chase him out. He was also a mortgage broker and handed out business cards to everyone that he talked to.

Yeah, I probably will never get over it. Needless to say, we are no longer friends. She was a friend of a friend, but a caterer first.

I'm still laughing at the "almost ruined" shirt story, sorry OP. Even this c*** didn't come close to ruining my day.

About 30 min before the ceremony we were out front of the ship finishing up pictures when I heard a splash. The ceremony speaker had gone overboard. I thought it was hysterical. We still ended up with sound for the ceremony but I don't know how. The only downside is the DJ went on a social media rant about how awful my day was for him. Super unprofessional.

@puppbagel Oh my, that is too funny! The poor guy was probably so embarrassed! lol

@ELyse... In all fairness, he had a right to be upset about ruining an expensive piece of equipment!

Does make for a good story though

This happened at a friend's wedding where I was a bridesmaid. I had only recently begun hanging out with the bride (mostly because I was friends with her friend). I'm pretty sure she only asked me to be in the wedding so that the bridesmaid/groomsmen sides were even. The bride and groom wanted to save money on an officiant so they asked the groom's brother to get ordained. As we were standing up there for the ceremony it was time to sign the marriage license. The brother immediately realized he screwed up and forgot it at the hotel that was 15 minutes away. The bride had a fricken meltdown. She started crying and told one of the ushers to go back to the hotel to pick it up. We tried to explain to her that they could continue the ceremony and just sign it later. She was having none of it. We walked back down the aisle and went back inside the small park shelter and waited for the usher to get back.

Did I mention it was mid-July and about 90 degrees out? Yep. I have only spoken with her twice since her wedding. They were divorced within 3 months and she was engaged within 2 weeks after her divorce was finalized.

Puppybagel, since it all turned out ok, is it ok that I laughed out loud at your photographer?

The only thing that went wrong at my wedding was that my son was late. I was so upset. We didn't get to take pics of him and his daddy getting ready. He literally got here 30 minutes before we were scheduled to line up for the ceremony. My in-laws were trying to put him down for a nap before the wedding but it didn't work.

This isn't tragic, just funny. My parents have a friend who is Palestinian (and quite old), apparently he was able to pinpoint two of my Jewish friends, and while on the dance floor, decided to ask them what their feelings were on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. My friends were very diplomatic in their response, but later on they were like, Fuck, Lara, you could have warned us that Yassar Arafat was at your wedding!

Wow Katie....What a trainwreck.

@Katie wow, she sounds like a piece of work! Ruined her own wedding.. Which I guess, didn't really matter lol

The funny thing about the photographer was when DH told me about it. He was like, "I don't want you to flip out, but ____ is passed out." I was so excited and distracted by the million other things going on I was like "OKAY DANCE NOW."

I actually still feel really bad for the guy. It seemed super out of character and like he genuinely was in real pain. And apparently my mom was a real peach to him :/

Uh....staff saved our top tier instead of serving it, so the remaining cake had to be sliced REALLY thinly to serve everyone? We requested the lobster upgrade to our macaroni and cheese station but didn't get it (and were not charged for it)? I've got nothing on some of the nonsense y'all had to deal with.

My mom showed up drunk in the hotel parking lot that morning wanting to fight me. The cops ended up being called.

MIL booked the suite next door to ours in hopes that it'd deter us from having sex our wedding night. I don't see what the big deal was as we were already pregnant with baby #2 and had been together 5 years at that point. It didn't stop us at all.

Another weird thing was that one of the GM and the husband of one of the BM's got so drunk they had a dance battle then kissed on the dance floor.

Kristy, I didn't out the specifics in my comment. No, he had no right to discuss my contract with his friends/followers on his social media account and never contact me about it. Also, this is why vendors need to be properly insured and luckily my venue had made him get more coverage prior to the event.

@m - no offense intended by the original post, I was just trying to get people stories! This isn't a "my wedding was worse than your wedding" thread. This was a place to post your stories without having to feel like yours had to be the worst for you to be allowed to be upset by it.

And for the record, I wasn't even mad about the shirt thing, I just thought it was crazy and funny and laughed a lot at the thought of him walking down the aisle in a three piece suit minus the shirt.

PS - sorry that happened to you, I really am!

Elyse, you're right , I don't know the specifics. And no vendor should talk about you specifically. I was thinking it was just a post complaining about his speaker, in which case, he could say whatever he wants. Hope he wasn't too much of a jerk to you!

Haha no worries. Sorry if I came off as a bitch, it still annoys me and I'm super cranky today.

Elyse, you didn't I guess I just should have assumed what he posted

Also, wouldnt it have kind of been up to him how close he put the speaker to the edge of the pier?!

PS... I love this thread lol. Post more dirt, ladies! ;D

The worst thing that happened at my wedding was this skank being there who hung all over all the men including DH and then starting an argument with me at the end of my wedding. I didn't want to invite her but DH was friends with her so I didn't have a choice. I should have listened to my gut and shouldn't have sent her an invite. The bitch had the nerve to talk about how she had electrolysis "down there" to my dad then had the nerve to call me insecure when I said I didn't want her around me or DH because of the way that she acts. She did not win the argument and DH is no longer friends with her. I've had so many problems with her and this was the icing on the cake. So glad she's not in our lives anymore.
