" The bridegroom ’s aunt got intoxicated and shed all the details about the stableboy actually being in love with his friend , who coincidentally was also attending the marriage . "
Reddit userGeneral-Mango_askedfellow Redditors to share the worst things that happened at weddings they attended, and the responses had my freakin' jaw on the floor:
1.“The bride had a gorgeous, but very tight mermaid-style gown, which caused her to trip while walking down the aisle. She knocked her front tooth completely out and had blood down her dress, but eventually continued the ceremony and rushed to an emergency dentist during her reception.”

2.“I went to a wedding a few years ago where the caterer of the wedding had a heart attack right after the buffet had been set up for dinner. The bride and groom stayed with him and made sure he was breathing while waiting for the ambulance.”
— ZenNoodle
3.“There was a Civil War reenactment across the street from the church, and literal cannons went off the entire ceremony.”

4.“Everyone got food poisoning from the cake. First, the bride was feeling queasy and accidentally revealed to the whole family she was pregnant, which meant my ex and the bride’s nanna wanted to go home early because she was ‘devastated.’ On the drive home, my ex’s sister starts to feel sick, and the dad refuses to stop, so she just vomited out of the open door while we drove a bit slower. I made it to their house before I projectile vomited strawberries all over a white wall. Back at the venue, 80% of guests were having the same experience. Apparently, there was no room in the bathrooms, so people were just puking at their tables. It took hours for people to be able to get home because there was a mad scramble to leave, and it caused a traffic jam. There was at least one fender bender.”
" We went the next day to aid clean , still feeling dreadful . There was pink vomitus everywhere . I think I got five minutes in before bailing and get a line about it endlessly from my x ’s mother until we broke up eight calendar month by and by . "

5.“My white trash cousin was getting married in the Catholic church, and she and her equally white trash groom’s friends were basically tailgating with a keg before the wedding in the church’s parking lot. Before starting the wedding, the priest made a pretty pointed comment about being respectful, and when the bride’s brother got to the altar as a groomsman, it is typical to stand before the priest and make the sign of the cross, and he did so with his middle finger. I wasn’t there because I don’t associate with that branch of the family tree, but I heard about it afterwards. Apparently, the priest continued the wedding and didn’t acknowledge it. Honestly, I think he should have walked away and ended the ceremony.”

6.“It stormed so violently at my own wedding as the guests walked from their cars into the church that no umbrella could keep them from getting absolutely soaked. I’m talking drenched. A lightning strike took out the power, so the mics and audio system didn’t work. You couldn’t hear anything that the pastor or anyone else said. Also, the church had no AC, and it was the middle of summer in 100% humidity. My sister, the maid of honor, fainted at the altar from the heat and locking her knees (don’t lock your knees!!!). Luckily, my uncle caught her and she made a quick recovery. Alas, the show went on, the sun eventually came out for the reception (still wild humidity), everyone drank the venue out of booze, and my husband and I are still happily married 15 years later!”

7.“I was at a wedding where you were supposed to open these little envelopes and release a butterfly at the end of the ceremony. When we opened the envelopes, all the butterflies were either dead or almost dead. Super awkward. If you watchBob’s Burgers, there’s a similar scene in an episode. The first time I saw it, I immediately thought of that wedding.”

8.“For a laugh, when asked the ‘Do you take…’ question, the bride said no. The vicar stopped the ceremony dead and refused to marry them. They had to go through all the pre-marriage stuff again and get married six weeks later.”

9.“At my wedding, my husband’s grandmother fell and broke her hip, went to the hospital, had a pulmonary embolism, and then died.”
— Due_Finger6047
10.“I was a plus one at a wedding where I barely knew the groom and had only met the bride once before. During the reception, I stopped at the bathroom and found the bride sitting alone in the big stall, crying. She didn’t want to get married, but did because she and the groom had had sex. She wasn’t pregnant, but as a Mormon, she felt she had to marry him. She was only 19 and felt she was too young to get married, but didn’t feel like she had a choice. I stayed with her for about half an hour, comforting her until her grandma came in and took over. I went back to the party, and her groom was oblivious to the fact that his new wife was missing, let alone that she was devastated.”
" My now - hubby lost racecourse of that friend after he got married . We ran into him years later and take how he was doing . The two of them had four kids under the eld of 5 , and he was thrilled to be a dad . I marvel how she sense and if he sleep together how she feel . "

11.“The wedding officiant forgot to come. Someone tracked her down finally, and she showed up 45 minutes late drunk off of her ass. She barely made it through the ceremony. She started and restarted several times at certain parts. It was super awkward for everyone and the bride was pissed.”
— inexplicably_dull
12.“The bride didn’t show up. Everyone was waiting in a huge church, including the groom, who waited at the altar for 30 minutes. Then the bride’s father came in and announced that she had decided she didn’t want to get married. But, as he’d already paid for the reception, he said all the guests should proceed with the party.”

13.“A guest got shitgoosed and decided throwing up on the floor was tasteless, so she threw up in another guest’s baby carrier instead. She fought with venue staff while being escorted out to the point where her dress was hiked up and her coochie was on display.”
— SweetsourJane
14.“One of the groomsmen decided it was a good idea to take shrooms for his first time at the wedding. At the reception, the guy had a panic attack and thought his heart was failing. We had to call an ambulance and paramedics just to have it turn out he was tripping balls.”
— ShooterMcGavins
15.“A fight broke out during the reception and spilled out into the parking lot. The bride’s father and groom (on the same side of the fight) were in the thick of it while the bride’s mother was literally holding the bride down with wrestling moves in the back of the limo. Both the father of the bride and the groom were arrested, along with half a dozen others. The fight resumed at the hotel after everyone got bailed out, and even more people got arrested, including the bride, who didn’t have her mom to hold her back. No honeymoon. The bride and groom both got felony assault charges as wedding gifts. None of this was gang-related, and there was no beef going into the ceremony. Just one of the groom’s friends was a really angry drunk, and someone bumped him at the buffet, and some of the other jackasses just couldn’t let things go.”
" It was unreal . We were there as friends of the bride ’s parent , and we were in the limo while the Bridget was screaming , ' My pa ! ' about her father being in the fight out in the parking lot , and her mamma had her arm and legs wrapped around her to hold her down . "

16.“The cake collapsed in the middle of the ceremony. It was a sign!”

17.“The wedding was at a barn in the middle of nowhere. The food was brought in from the city, about 45 minutes away — fried chicken, mac and cheese, etc. Afterward, we got back to the hotel, which was maybe a 10-minute drive, and we saw the bride throwing up in the parking lot. Okay, maybe she had too much to drink. Then we saw some other people throwing up in the parking lot. Well, they were young; that happens at weddings. Then I got upstairs and it hit me. I swear I threw up for three days. If I had died, that would have been fine with me. It was the worst food poisoning of my life. I found out after the fact that pretty much everyone was sick in some capacity. Good times.”

18.“The father of the groom’s speech went a little something like this: ‘Bride, we never thought he’d marry you. You weren’t his first love.’ He then launched into a 20-minute monologue about the groom’s love for cars and his love for his son and granddaughter, then ended the speech. Nothing was said about the bride, and he didn’t even welcome her to the family. I was absolutely floored.”
— Spoopylaura
19.“The wedding was for the daughter of a very religious conservative family who had found out that the daughter and her boyfriend were having premarital sex and basically pressured them into getting married to ‘fix’ the sin they’d committed. The mother, father, and priest took every opportunity during the ceremony and reception speeches to remind everyone that the bride and groom had premarital sex and say how disappointed they all were that the marriage was starting in sin.”
— Wild_Ordinary_4357
20.“The wedding venue was left open, and someone stole ALL of the booze behind the bar the morning of the wedding. Without tipping off the bride of the mishap, the groom gave the go-ahead to open all the cards with money and send someone with a Costco card to buy all the missing booze! The bride obviously found out after the ceremony, but everything turned out great afterwards, but man, the stress we all went through.”
— NoInformation7506
21.“The groom’s ex and child were invited by the mother-in-law against the bride’s explicit wishes, because what the bride and groom knew and had come to peace with (barely) was that the child was a result of his affair. The rest of the wedding guests did not know this and thought the bride was being unreasonable until she threw a tantrum and spilled the beans. I disappeared to the free bar at that point.”
— BathFullOfDucks
22.“The groom was on his phone the entire time. I flew to Mexico for the destination wedding with my kids, and he chose one of the most expensive hotels and looked bored at his own wedding. Leading up to the wedding, he claimed he was sick and had the hotel staff get him cold towels and check on him. Drama king. Until the ceremony, the rest of the bride’s friends and I were hoping she would back out. I was her maid of honor.”
— Any_Cow_3379
23.“Oh boy, where do I start. The grandmother of the groom died. She died at the hotel in her sleep, right after the wedding. Nobody saw it coming either; she was on her feet all evening. Most solemn continental breakfast I’ve ever been to. The vows were also quite awkward. To sum it up, the bride’s vows basically were: ‘I’ll always remember to not bother you on Mondays and Wednesdays since those are your designated gaming days.’ Also, the reception had some of the most awkward speeches I’ve ever heard. The bride’s sister obviously did not like her sister’s choice of husband, and said as much during her speech.”

24.“The groom’s aunt got drunk and spilled all the details about the groom actually being in love with his friend, who coincidentally was also attending the wedding. Awkward to the extreme.”

25.“The groom’s friends drugged his drink with Viagra so they could laugh at him ‘lifting off’ in front of everyone.”
— BrownJasmine
26.“Friends' wedding at a country club. They were in the middle of their vows during the ceremony. All of a sudden, we heard a loud crash. One of the bride’s young nephews, who I think was 5 at the time, had taken one of the golf carts and crashed it into a tree. The kid was okay, but shaken up. That put a damper on the event.”
— SassyAF519
27.And: “The best man professed his love during his speech and not so subtly said it should’ve been him instead. The best man also volunteered to be the DJ for the bride and groom to save them money before the wedding. After the ceremony, he went to the DJ booth and played two EDM songs before flicking the entire wedding off and leaving. Oh, and the groom’s mom had a massive center-of-attention problem and dragged her husband onto the dance floor in the middle of the first dance.”
