Most newlywed couples look forward to their honeymoon. Finally, after months of busy wedding planning, they get to spend uninterrupted time together to celebrate their marriage.
But while many honeymoons are unforgettable, some go the opposite way. Arguments, excessive drinking, embarrassing mishaps, and questionable decisions can turn a supposed romantic escape into moments the people involved would rather keep to themselves.
Unfortunately for them, employees at their chosen romantic getaway destination may also witness their (mis)adventures and share those stories online. These accounts are both pleasant and otherwise, so be ready for quite a reading experience.

I used to be a bouncer at a night club that was part a a major hotel in San Francisco. People would get married and have their reception in the hotel and then head to the club after. One night a couple 2 hours fresh from the alter and their party was in the club. They are sloshed, but the bride is beyond drunk and causing problems (stumbling into people, being too loud and trying to cross the VIP rope that I'm guarding). Well, she gets across the rope and while I'm trying to persuade to go back to the other side she starts grinding on me and saying "You think you can handle me?" Her husband is about 3 feet away with his jaw on the floor. I asked him to control his wife and he snapped out of his shock. He grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the club swearing up a storm. I still feel bad for the guy.

We rent out holiday homes on a weekly basis. That Saturday, the family that rented one of them didn't show up, though they paid the 3000 euros up front. No phone call or message to warn us of any delay. We tried calling them, no reply. In the end we concluded they must have had an accident on the way.
2 days and various attempts at contact from us later, I get a very embarrassed phone call: it turns out they were at their own wedding feast when they were supposed to arrive, in their home country 1000 km from there. They passed out at 5 am, slept through the next day and only found our messages the following evening.
The whole party just assumed someone else had told us they planned to arrive 2 days too late.
I'm glad they turned out to be just wed rather than d**d, but who the f**k goes on honeymoon together with their parents and inlaws?

I don't work in a honeymoon location but I have watched a wedding proposal fail. At a zoo in Australia a man payed to hold an owl and have the opportunity to propose to his girlfriend. The woman didn't even seem interested in the man and in the end there was no proposal. The whole thing was incredibly awkward to watch, knowing what was meant to happen.

My brother used to work at a big restaurant/resort that would often do weddings. One night they were hosting a large dinner party for all the guests after the wedding earlier that day. Of course at that point everyone was pretty wasted so the groom ended up getting into a fight with one of the bride's distant uncles. I kid you not, the uncle ended up biting off the grooms finger and swallowing it so he couldn't reattach it. Everyone was freaking out and the groomsmen ended up beating up the uncle until he puked back out the severed finger.

I used to work at a large hotel where weddings/receptions would be held on a regular basis. One night, after a wedding, the newlywed couple is in their suite and complaints start coming in about a fight in their room. Turns out, they got into it with each other and the new wife beat up her new husband. The cops ended up taking her to jail. I guess the new husband was fapping that night.

Ah I got one. I wasn't there but my wife her cousin was the bride.
So the grooms brother was middle aged and autistic. It was also known to a few insiders that in the past he had been in trouble of "inoperative interaction with children". The groom told the bride this in privacy a while ago but of course she relayed this to her entire family over time so everyone knew.
So the big day comes and a few drinks in the brother gets a bit too friendly with a few of the family children. Nothing horrific, just making the kids feel uncomfortable, touching of the shoulder.
I am not sure what he did but a gasket broke with one of the kids dads and a fight broke out. Both family's are completely divided one side stating that the guy is a changed man and was just being friendly. The other that the creep shouldn't be allowed near children.
Wedding ends and is a disaster.

I live in one of the east coast's most sought after wedding destination. A Couple years ago a couple rented a moped which as locals know, on an island that's basically 90% sand, is a terrible idea. Despite this people rent many mopeds and there is always at least 1 fatality a summer. They were riding on one of our main cross-island stretches and decided to kiss while riding. They veered off the road and slammed into a telephone pole. The newly-wed wife, who had just received her PhD was driving and her husband's weight crushed her against the pole; k*****g her instantly. The husband is in a persistent vegetative state for what will probably be the rest of his life. So sad. They were just beginning what would be a beautiful life and just like that...gone.

I was in Cancun on vacation, and staying at my resort was a newlywed couple, wearing husband and wife sandals and all that business. They must have been the most miserable people I have ever seen in my life.
I was on an excursion, and it appeared that they had no money, they were broke, couldn't buy food, drink or anything. If they were cool, I probably would have paid for them just to help them have a nice time. But she was a relentless h*g, and he was a complete d****e. Fighting with workers everywhere saying it was a ripoff, everything should be included, they didn't know that they would have to pay for beer if they wanted it, yelling and being a complete d**k to very nice people.
They were white trash. They were white trash expecting things to be given to them here in the states, and they were white trash expecting the nice people in Mexico to kiss their asses while they yelled insults and angrily made demands. I wanted to slap them both. On top of that, they were both ugly and their nasty personalities only made it worse.

I was bartending a wedding with a friend of mine, Sam. Everyone was drinking and seemed to have a blast. At the end of the night, when everyone left, sam and I, went around to make sure everything was locked. When I asked him to check the last window, he went running outside saying there was a fight. I walked outside to find all the groomsmen holding back the groom and his cousin from fighting but no one seemed to notice the cousin's wife straddling the bride while repeatedly hitting her head and screaming that the bride is a s**t. The whole thing ended when the police arrived and sent everyone home. Sam and I still laugh about it to this day.

Not my idea of a honeymoon hotspot by far but when I worked in an ER it was kinda weird that on several occasions newlywed couples came in because the guy had a foreign object (ie. vib***or/d***o) stuck to far up his a*s and they couldn't get it out. It was always hilarious to us.

My wife got sick on our honeymoon, and the B&B we stayed at had no elevator only stairs and we were on the 3rd floor and she couldn't make it all the way down and back up again without getting sick. She really got stressed out before and during the wedding because 2 of her bridesmaids were b*****s all day.
