In November 2018, I attended the wedding of my in-laws' friends. They were an older couple (in their 60s) that had been dating for decades and finally decided to tie the knot.
The husband did a stint in the Navy, and so given the timing of their wedding, he invited a lot of his veteran buddies from across the different branches.
During the reception speech, the guy had the DJ begin playing the military hymns for the various branches, and he asked all the various veterans from said branches to stand up and be recognized.
I get where he came from, wanting to pay respect given calendar proximity to Veterans Day, but absolutely nobody (veterans included) knew he was planning to do that. They all kind of stared amongst themselves and awkwardly stood up. The civilian guests just fidgeted for the 5 minutes or so this went on.
His heart was in the right place, but damn if it wasn't cringey as f**k.
Later that night, the bride got really drunk with her girlfriends and spent a while dancing barefoot on the floor. At some point, she took a wrong turn and wound up rolling her ankle pretty badly. She ended up in one of those mobility boots for about a month.
