What's the craziest thing you have seen at a wedding?

Lmao kylene

Been to tons of weddings as a guest and many more with a friend's mom who caters and I have zero craziness to share! lol

Melissa, damn that article is long! I mean dissertation long. I read about 4 paragraphs and had to stop. Weird!!

I posted this a few months ago:

We went to a wedding yesterday for FH's assistant. It was held in a Baptist church in LA county and had NO air conditioning. Well, the mother's of the church showed up and showed out! They demanded to sit up front on "their row" and made a loud stink about having to sit in the back. When the BP walked in, they loudly commented about one of the BM being to fat for the dress and that the dresses were inappropriate for a church wedding (FYI: the dresses were more than appropriate) When the bride came in, hell opened up and those women talked about her so bad. Finally, several of the deacons stood up and demanded they leave. They had to be physically removed from the church and they did not go quietly. They stood in the foyer of the church and talked loudly during the entire ceremony. The bride was in tears. I couldn't sit there any longer and me and several other women went out there, dragged them out to the parking lot and let them have it. Reminded them they are grown women and should be ashamed of their behavior. (Continued)

The ladies and I thought that was the last of it because we did not hear from them for the rest of the ceremony. However, that was not the end of it. These women (who I later learned were not invited to the wedding) did a "sit in" at the cocktail hour! (Oh, did I tell you they were carrying their Bibles?) Of all things, they were quoting Scriptures about how older women should be revered and treated with respect. The groom had enough, and called the police. They were told to leave or will be arrested. All left except for one. She was eventually arrested (handcuffed and put in the back of a squad car) Later, I finally got the juicy scoop and the whole matter. Turns out the one who was arrested was the groom's grandmother who absolutely cannot stand his new wife because she was married before (he husband is deceased) and is 5 measly years older than the groom. She forbade him from marrying her and told him if he did, she would cut him out of her will. For the life of me, I will never understand how some "Christians" can justify their behavior by construing The Bible to fit their selfish demands and judgmental thinking.

I'm just glad the groom stood by his love and defended her to the detriment of his relationship with his grandmother. I'll let you know how things play out.

Lol @FutureMrsDean, yeah it's super long. When this all happened, I just spent all day at work reading it and a fellow student's response article to that article. I definitely couldn't deal with work on any day that something new showed up so I had lots of time. My sister (other MOH) is convinced that it will become a lifetime movie and she keeps trying to figure out who would play us. Smh. I'm pretty sure we won't be in it since I refused to talk to the news.

That is by far the craziest wedding I've been to, but at my FSIL's wedding her cousin's two kids (RBs) completely ran crazy, one even pooped in the corner of the hotel during breakfast, but my FSIL was too tired to go grab the kids since their parents didn't care. One of them is my RB, but I won't let that happen no matter how tired I am. I'm completely prepared to be viewed as a psycho bitch if it means not having the kids jump on the couches, dancing on tables, and pooping in corners.

Melissa, I'm waiting for it to be featured on the ID channel!

I'd have to say my brother's wedding which was only a few weeks ago in August. Our family is pretty traditional so all of this began about a year ago at the engagement party. We are Vietnamese so the engagement party is a formal tea ceremony where both families dress in traditional attire, the groom's family presents gifts to the bride's family. Then we eat. Mind you this was August 2013.

Fastforward to this year for the wedding. My mom calls me to come over the night before the wedding to get the house ready cause the videographer will be filming the house. Why? They are having the tea ceremony ALL OVER AGAIN!

Wedding Day: Get there at 7 am, get dressed, and do the tea ceremony (engagement party) all over again. Get dressed, gather together, go to her house, present gifts. 11 am comes around so let's hurry to the church to take pictures. (Before the wedding? Yes.) The church had back to back weddings and my brother's was at noon. Hey, let's save time and take pics of the groom and bride together BEFORE the wedding (in her white dress). 11:20 rolls around and they begin the rehearsal. What? Yes. Rehearsal cause they apparently didn't have all the parties there the night before to practice the ceremony. So as the guests filed into the church sitting in the pews, the bride and groom practiced in front of everyone, BEFORE the wedding.

During the wedding, everything (I thought) went wrong. The church had flowers on stands that fell over, the unity candle went out during the ceremony, and mass was rushed and seemed out of order.

Afterwards, my mom invited everyone from the church to her house for some snacks. 140 people! In a small house! This was not the reception. So I helped serve 140 people, then helped clean up. The last person left about 4:30.

The real reception was at 6 p.m. All that was left was the DJ was a couple who loved karaoking (probably decided "Hey you like karaoke, I like it, Let's start a band and charge people at wedding parties". When they didn't sing, they played Kenny Rogers songs from a CD).

Needless to say, it was just weird and I felt like I was in the twilight zone.

@Melissa - Holy wow. Thank you for the info and article. Truly bizarre, so sorry this happened.

At a wedding I went to a couple years ago, the mother of the bride got very drunk. I walked into the restroom and she was sitting there on the toilet in a stall but with the door wide open, peeing and laughing.

Also, there was a mock sword fight between the bestman (grooms best friend) and another groomsmen (bride's brother) at my FSIL's wedding. Her husband is Malaysianso it was part of their tradition and I liked that they included it but it was a little odd at the same time!

O_O Wow to all of this. Seriously. I'm starting to get freaked out lol.

When I was a waitress at a banquet hall, the bride had a family member maker her cake. Well, this woman completely dropped the ball. For starters, it was in the middle of dinner before the cake made an appearance at all and when it did, she came in through the back to the kitchen, dropped it off, and then snuck back out without saying a word to the bride or really anyone. Well, the cake was a sheet cake that would only have served 20 people, (200 person wedding), with a layer of white frosting. Thats it.

We bring the bride back to the kitchen to show her and she immediately bursts into tears, which is then followed by, "I'll kill that bitch" on repeat. We calm her down, and tell her she can use the dummy cake we kept in the office for her pictures so she at least has something. The whole thing was just insane.

FH and I went to a wedding last year. You could really tell where they decided to spend money and where they cut back. The venue was beautiful and they spent a lot of money adding draping to the ceiling and up lighting. She also had her dress custom made. What was weird though is that they switched their ceremony venue the week of the wedding since the bride decided she wanted an outside ceremony, even though it was February and we live in Nebraska. They had a 3 hour gap in between the ceremony and reception but provided games for guests to play outside. Due to the snow not many guest braved coming to the wedding. The reception was so empty that they actually started inviting people over from the hotel bar where the reception was held, to fill up the dance floor. The bride and groom had a cash bar with their honeymoon fund jar up on the bar top and they left in their tux and wedding gown to go pick up pizza and cupcakes for the dinner. Right after dinner they had their first dance, shared a cupcake and took their honeymoon fund jar, loaded the gifts in their car and left suddenly. The brides mom spent an hour trying to track them down. When she finally got ahold of the bride she found out they left because "no one was trying to make her wedding day special, and how she was annoyed because she needed us to be generous and chip in for the wedding and no one did". Her mom had to get the DJ to announce that the bride and groom were gone for the night and that the reception was over. It was maybe 7:30pm.

In a non-negative way, the craziest thing I have seen was my cousin's wedding - they used a falcon as a ring bearer. Talk about a waste of money. And it took so much attention away from the beauty of the ceremony itself (meaning the real meaning of the ceremony). It's a wedding. You don't have to put on a show.

Oh, and I just remembered I went to a wedding on my hubby's side when we first started dating and there was beer pongs, kegs, and a bonfire included. I also got ambushed in the bathroom and forced to do shots by his cousins. I was 19. lol

Someone's hoohaa at my wedding. Short dress + The Wobble= drop it low, hoohaa edition.

Snarky...I see nothing wrong with any of that

@ Stitching bride.. The couple is doing fine. The grrom is my co-worker and he said she was getting angry and having an attitude. Apparently she yelled at his mom and made her cry (The mother is very sensitive and takes everything personal) so, he decided to see her before the ceremony in hopes of calming her down.... but she turned on him... Lol they have been married 6 years now

@Miss to Mrs ... it was pretty hilarious ... until I was hugging the toilet into the wee hours of the morning. That's what happens when your best friend (also a bartender) invites all her bartender friends and has an open liquor bar. Ouch.

@Kylene that is one of the best comments I have ever read! @Miss to Mrs Cut off shorts and a bikini top, I'm sure that was a lovely sight!
