40 Times Weddings Went So Wrong, People Just Had To Vent Online

During my wedding vows, a fly landed on the minister’s face… near his lip. Using his tongue like a lizard, he pulled it into his mouth and swallowed it. It was horrifying.

The music for the wedding was recorded by the bride and groom, neither of whom were singers. Basically prerecorded karaoke.

The groom didn’t like the music so he proceeded to smash all the bands equipment, I really don’t like being around drunks.

My father's speech (which he was asked not to do) included saying "I (the bride) and my sisters had always been a disappointment.
You could have heard a pin drop. It was devastating. I actually left my own wedding, went home and watched tv trying to compose myself, then stuck on a smile and went back. It depressed me for months.

My father’s step sister's wedding. I was 5, it was hot, the groom smushed cake in her face even after she told him not to, she smushed cake in his face and broke his nose. Blood everywhere, we left as the ambulance was arriving.

When I was in my 30s, at my cousin’s wedding, his wife had asked him not to smush the cake, and he didn’t, the best man who was a massive ahole, did it instead. We left. Didn’t get any cake at either wedding.

My own.

Trapped in an elevator with the groom for hours the night prior. Was mistakenly sent a red hummer with no AC on the hottest day of the year instead of the limo I rented. Wedding commissioner was 2 Hours late and didn’t have a phone. Almost got fake married. Rented a boat to get married and cruise around on. It was an old ice breaker with lots of character and I planned all my decor around it. On the day the boat didn’t work and we had to ask all the guest to grab whatever was on their table and re-set it up on the new boat. Which had maroon everything and my colours were teal and coral. That boat was just coming back from a bar party cruise so they hosed it down. As soon as I got on it my entire dress soaked up the water to my waist. Had to change into my friends sundress. There was not enough food and it was disgusting. The new boat had used all the fresh water on board on the last cruise so they hooked up the lines to some nasty slat water and were making drinks with that until people realized. There was no water on board and no gun drinks. The only thing to drink was palm bays. Even kids. Again on the hottest day of the year. Then we danced to 2 songs and they shut the music off as it had to be off by 12 even though we’re started hours late after the first boat didn’t work. I was so pissed I stormed off the boat. In the boat move one of my bridesmaids lost her keys and ended up having to come to our hotel room at the end of the night. Didn’t get refunded a dime. There was honestly so much more but I think I’ve blocked it all out.

One of my good friends from high school got married in December. The couple gave the DJ a list of accepted music. You want to know what was NOT on that list? Dogs barking Christmas carols.

This guy played three songs of dogs barking Christmas carols in a row and the groom was PISSED. He asked after the 2nd one for the guy to stop. He didn't. By the third, I thought the groom was going to fight the guy. Who does that to someone's wedding? WTF?

It's the most annoying thing...

I've been to two weddings where the Christian ministers went off the rails. One decided he needed to go on a diatribe about how the (cis-gender heterosexual) couple getting married was fighting the "good fight" against gay marriage. The other one decided he needed to discuss his personal sex life during the sermon. Nearly walked out of the first, nearly threw up in the second. Absolutely bizarre.

The grooms dad made a speech that started with 'When we first met we thought she's not much to look at, but then we got to know her'

Idk if it was his idea of a joke or what but it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The married bride’s dad went behind the reception hall for a make out session with her maid of honor. They got busted by his 9 months pregnant niece, who had a massive blowup in front of everyone. Meanwhile half the groomsmen were in the parking lot fist fighting a bunch of guys next door.

It was the 4th of July and fireworks were going off. 3 scared local dogs came running in the church down the aisle and the brides family was freaking out. No one thought it was funny. I did though.

Saw a bride give a very well thought out vow and remembrance, and the groom said
>”wow, that’s a lot. Ditto”.

I do wedding videography. A few years ago, I was covering a wedding in this incredibly formal cathedral. So much formality that I had rules where I could and could not be (not super typical with most venues)

All morning, the groom had been slamming beers with his groomsmen. Everyone celebrates in their own way, right?

The bride and groom meet at the altar and begin to exchange vows. Mid bridal vow, the groom begins to burp. Everything turned slow motion after that. The groom projectile vomited all over the altar and the bride, before running away while continuing to vomit. It was so silent that his upchucking echoed throughout the cathedral.

The groom returned wearing his best man’s suit jacket, and the bride had magically blotted away the vomit stained on her dress.

Although the vows were never finished, they still got happily married. True love prevails.

My uncle got so drunk at my sister’s wedding that he confessed to having an affair and completely ruined the family💀.

I was roofied (drugged) at the reception by a woman I never met before. I didn't know anyone at the wedding. I was the plus 1.

It was held in the couples backyard and all of the guests brought dishes and essentially catered for them. When the ceremony took place, no one sat down because the “officiant” didn’t tell anyone to. When it was time to eat, the groom went and sat at a table with his friends and the bride sat at a table by herself. We had to invite her to our table. At the end, they opened and read everyone’s cards containing money in front of the guests. Thought that was tacky as hell.

My cousin's wedding.

For context, there had been some family issues about some inheritance and the relationship was cold, but we still got an invitation.

He had booked a hall and a cook but not a catering service, and we found out when the reception started.

The friends/sisters of the bride banded to serve the courses, and me and my brothers (cousins of the groom) doubled as waiters to take them to the tables.

We managed to eat in installments, taking g a couple minutes here and there to wolf down some food before we got back to serving tables.

He didn't thank us. He didn't even acknowledge us.

At the end of the reception he passed to every single table to toast with the people there and thank them for coming. He completely ignored us.

It's been over ten years since the last time I've talked to him.

At my dad’s wedding, having to run around to find my brother for toasts, found him upstairs hooking up with our new step mom's daughter.

The bride was wearing a $10k dress but didn’t feed her guests. The wedding was in the afternoon in a church with the reception “to follow immediately after” at a ball room nearby. The wedding party went to take pictures and everyone had to wait for them to get back and go through the line first.

One tray of appetizers for 200 guests went pretty quickly. There was only 2 buck chuck white wine or water to drink. No soda, no iced tea, no beer.

The bridal party spends 2 hours taking pictures while we wait to eat. They had set up a “stations” buffet but didn’t spring for plates at each station so the line moved through a snails pace at every station. We finally got something to eat 5 hours after the ceremony.

Had to go to an indian auspicious wedding that started at 10pm and the actual marriage was at like 3am bc that’s was when the moon aligned with saturn or smth. wasn’t bad just felt like a fever dream.
