What's the worst wedding YOU'VE ever been to?

The second wedding was a friend of DH. We had to go to Indiana.

It was a back yard wedding. They did not mow the lawn, scoop the poo or have chairs. Everyone brought their own lawn chairs. We didn't get that memo. We were told the incorrect time, because we were never sent a proper invitation. It was all word of mouth. We showed up after the food had been out for an hour in the heat. The flies were buzzing all over the totally vegetarian menu. THey had no citronella candles. The skeeters were eating us alive. They had no music, no dancing and just an almost gone keg of beer. People brought their own coolers of beer. We didn't get that memo either. It was a shorts and flip flops crowd and DH and I dressed as though we were going to a back yard BBQ wedding....resort casual. We looked like Joe Pesci and Marissa Tormei in "My Cousin Vinny". We totally stood out like a sore thumb. We traveled and incurred the expense of a a hotel for 2 nights. It was the wost.

I would say the worst wedding I been to was my FMIL.....this was her ummm 5th wedding and last minute she asked me and FSIL to be hostesses at her wedding so I was like "okay fine!" then about 2 weeks before the wedding I hear that I have to wear a lavender dress - gosh! do you know how hard it is to find a lavender dress in 2 weeks in August? Especially since I wasn't trying to spend more than $40 on something - then we get to the church - nothing was decorated and me and FSIL had to hand out programs - ooh what fun! plus this wedding happened on the day that Hurricane Irene was coming into town so it was pouring and very windy!!! We got to the reception - not many people came because after like 3 weddings people basically just won't come it's more for laughs at that point....it was at a restaurant the food was just OK poor FH couldn't really enjoy it because he had to go back to the house and get all of our luggage because we were all leaving to go to Bahamas... (cont)

Yes we went on their honeymoon with them....ugh! not my idea of fun but we avoided them at all cost!!!!!! But yes due to us having to get to our plane the whole reception was rushed...music wasn't really much it was all gospel and yeah you can't really get down to gospel music! ohhh and I forgot during the ceremony she sang "At Last" as she was walking down the aisle...oh boy!!!!

Worst wedding I've ever attended was DH's brothers and here is why:

-DH was not working at the time yet they expected him to pay for a tux and be in the wedding without even asking, just assumed/expected, so the DAY OF the wedding we had to scramble around and find a tux off the rack since their dad agreed to help last minute. (not too many places open on a sunday)

-Their date was changed multiple times and when it was finally set (because their grandpa paid for it) it was a mere 6 weeks from when they announced it.

-It was at a very run down banquet hall (not that I am downgrading banquet halls but chose one that has been updated or at least kept up since 1980)

-I drove with a bridesmaid and when we arrived, nobody was there to greet us or let us in for an hour (october is still very hot in FL)

-the "bride" had pissed everyone off so much that 60-70% of her guests didn't show

CON...

Most weddings have been very enjoyable.

the only wedding that ranks the lowest, is one that was a little too casual. we just showed up for their beach ceremony, no chairs, just a boombox and had lunch buffet at a location 30 minutes away. Cinnabon was offered as the dessert. I don't remember if they did a garter toss, bouquet toss or typical activities in a wedding program.

bottom line is that the wedding lacked some of the qualities that make weddings special... it didn't feel different from any other day.

Also, I think emotion and the expression of love has a lot to do with it. The best thing in a wedding is seeing the father of the bride shed a tear or MOH and best man making heart-warming speeches. Perhaps this missing element made it less exciting and entertaining.

OMG!! some of these are so funny!

-the "bride was late. She walked in and screamed at her BP for "not calling her to tell her to come"

-IPOD wedding. The music list was thrown together by DH after he had ran around town looking for a tux the day of, then he was made to stand by the IPOD dock and "dj". I didn't get to dance with him and he had to keep jumping up during dinner to fix the cheap thing.

-the food was TERRIBLE.

-they had an open bar for the first two hours but didn't tell anyone on purpose so whatever wasn't used, they took home.

-DH was at the head table, I was "seated" by myself. She has set me at a table furthest away from my DH or his family.

-Nobody want to dance because we could barely hear the music anyways.

-BIL and SIL ducked out early because of his probation curfew, we were left to clean up.

-Candy bar had nothing to put candy in so nobody was able to take any. Whole vases were sent home with guests.

-SIL was a MAJOR bridezilla & was during planning of mine. Kicked her out

I went to one a long time ago that still sticks with me. The ceremony was just fine. With no prior notice, they then led everyone downstairs of the church and served some (tiny) tea sandwiches and punch. Then they announced that everyone should gather outside to catch a bus. (WTH???) As we were boarding the bus, they handed us some tickets. "Surprise, we are sending you to ..... Casino. The tickets are for the buffet. Have fun." So we got on this bus and rode about 50 minutes to a (far from glamorous) casino. Everyone on the bus just seemed to disperse into the casino. BORING!! About an hour later, we saw the bride and groom. The worst part was killing time to wait for the bus to bring us back. When we got back, we didn't get dropped off at the church were we left our vehicle. We were brought to the groom's (?) parents' house where we had to endure another 2 hours of sheer boredom before we got shuttled back to the church. It was painful!

... oh man.. these stories just keep getting better!! Or worse?

This is ridiculously amazing!

My cousin married a girl that came from some huge money. The wedding was beautiful...you know $10k flowers, food to die for, open bar all night, great DJ...however, the bride and groom never came to say hello to their guests, the bride danced in the corner all night with her Bridesmaids, at one point screamed at the DJ to stop playing slow songs, got trashed on tequila shots, the best man threw up on the head table from said shots, and I overheard the bride in the bathroom complaining about the guests and how it was her day and they needed to leave her the F alone. The wedding probably cost $250,000 and they were married for 8 months...it was a beautiful wedding ruined by an ugly attitude...

Worst wedding I attended? The wedding invitation said 3 o clock, I got there 15 minutes before. The bride walked down the aisle at 7:30. I was so hungry I started to leave. Speaking of which, half of her guest left. Her reception after that only lasted for an hour, so as soon as we got there, we got our food and had to leave. The DJ played one song for the bride and grooms first dance, then he left because he was only contracted for the same amount of time.

2nd worst wedding food tasted like...........oh yeah, it wasn't seasoned so it didn't have any taste. It was so bad that a couple of co-workes and I ended up going to Applebees for dinner.

So it would have to be MY wedding to my first husband!

Preacher made following rules:

1. No white dress

2. No veil

3.No train

4. Married no later than 10am

25 people showed up...one of the guests was our 4 month old daughter. My dad walked me down the aisle and in the only photo taken, you can see my husbands cousin in the background. He is 6'2" tall in spandex zebra striped pants, leather jacket and has hair to his a** that is frosted and curly.

I was unable to produce breastmilk, however, during the ceremony my daughter cried and my nonexistent breastmilk chose that moment to appear.

Stayed married 15 years took 3 years to divorce him, YEP this is definitely the worst wedding I have ever attended. (I did get two perfect children out of this union!!)

I am so thankful to say that I haven't been to a wedding even close to any of these. I have been to a couple of receptions that sort of got boring after a while so we left (maybe a little earlier than we should have) but NOTHING compared to some of this stuff. KEEP THE STORIES COMING!! This is entirely too entertaining!!!

I got three memorable wedding thats were bad or had bad points in them. All due to the same relitive unfortunatley.

First was my sister's wedding. She had a small ceremony at our home with close friends and releitives. It was really pretty. With no time or money to shop for a white wedding dress she wore a formal dress she already had. A female relitive at hearing they would not do the traditional garter toss literally went up her leg to tear it off her. Bad taste all around felt sorry for my sister.

Second was same relative's first wedding. we were packed into a small Park building with no ac in Aug. Then went to her father's house where there was no seating and alot of her hubbies friends were drunk and commenting on my boobs. I at this time was underage I think 17.

Fast forward about 8 years and a divorce later. Her second wedding alsmost didn't happen due to her divorce from number 1 not getting finalized in time. Then I got no invite except word of mouth. Her mom paid for cont.

And made the buffet for the 50 odd people she invited. Only abuot 15 showed for a weekday wedding. I was nursing my son during this time so to be dressed up and fancy I had to use an outfit my mom had bought for her own canceled wedding that was a hidous shade of peach that had no room for my bust so I flet like I was smothering most of the time. She thanked no one who showed up and to my knowledge never sent any thank you cards also.

My sis wedding was the worst I have ever been to:

- No church decor not even a bouquets. My mom had to rush to Hobby Lobby and grab what she could.

- Went to help out with the reception, NO decor as well not even a tablecloth. I had to use some of her aisle runner to make tableclothes.

_ She decided to have cupcakes, but their was nothing to put them on . So I had to boot leg a cupcake stand out of pizza boxes and aisle runner.

- The ceremony started a hour late. The minister didn't follow the program and left out solos , reading and the unity candle. After the B&G was walking out they called everyone back in so they can light the unity candle.

- The father of the bride left right after the wedding and didn't get in any of the photos.

- When the food came, the delivery man wouldn't release until somebody paid the balance of $45.00. Once it came, we noticed they just ordered meat, no sides,drinks,bread nothing. So once again my mom had to run to the grocery store and grab some fixins,punch and etc. She didn't even had plates,cups or silverware.

- The church fellowship hall was so small, only about 20 guest was able to sit. The rest was standing outside,sitting in cars eating.

My sister's BFF:

-Not enough space for all the guests at the ceremony and the reception

-Dinner consisted of lunch meat & cheese and there was not enough for everyone

-The ceremony started 2.5 hour late (in a church with no AC in August)

A co-workers:

-All of the GMs were high (not drunk, high)

-The ceremony started 2 hours late

-The zipper on the brides dress burst and they pinned her in the dress

FH's friend:

-GM's got their tuxs at different places and were not the same color

-BM all had different dresses in different shades of red/lengths with different shoes

-MOB & MOG came to blows at the reception

-The MOH was taken by ambulance due to alcohol poisoning

Let me preface this by saying, I love the bride and groom, however...

*everyone gathered outside the church drinking BEFORE the wedding

*the runner was down before the guest entered the church and all the guest trampled it

*there was no music, then right before the bride entered someone asked a guest to work the laptop w/the music (and they didnt know what to do, so the music started abruptly,cut off early, was "patchy" in between

*the brides brother walked her down the aisle highly intoxicated

*@ the reception there was nothing to drink but two different kinds of beer ( I had an old half drunk water bottle that had been in my car for a month and brought it in and someone came running up to me right away saying "where'd you get that,do you have any more?"

* one of the bridesmaids was pole dancing on the railing of the walkway to the seating area (before the dinner) in front of everyone;children, elderly

CONTINUED

*the brides brother was the DJ and he played the music so loud you couldnt talk to anyone and it hurt your ears (and he wouldnt turn it down even though there were numerous request to by people with children, and his drinking didnt make him a friendly person either!)

*while the bride and groom were sweet about not smashing the cake in each others faces, a bridesmaid wasnt, she forcefully (think ouch!) smashed the cake into the brides face (from behind, surprised her) and then did it to the groom later

*at the end of the night the same bridesmaid was standing on a chair doing a dance that belonged in a strip club allowing someone to imitate sexual acts on her, UNTIL my FH turned around and saw, thank God he broke it up, then that guys family wanted to fight him!

NOW, let me say, the bride was beautiful,she was sweet, she was happy that day,we said the saving grace was that she was so happy and they were so in love. We were glad to be there for the bride &

CONTINUED

groom & we wouldnt change that, but....its not how I'd want my wedding :/
