Haha! This sounds like something I would do. I once lectured everyone on NOT to drop their smoothies and spill them, three seconds later, I spilled it everywhere...

At my friend's wedding, I held onto her purse while she was busy getting married. Then in the middle of the ceremony a phone started ringing and I thought, "What rude person didn't put their phone on silent." It was the bride's phone, but everyone thought it was me because I had her bag.

Sent for collection? I would counter the same for non-fulfillment...

Well to be honest, babies don't belong at a wedding. We put a note in with the invitations that ours was an "Adults Only" event and as much as we loved the children of our friends, they were NOT invited. A good friend of mine couldn't find a sitter and just assumed I'd make an exception for her. I wouldn't and told her, "we'll miss you". I didn't pay thousands of dollars to have my day ruined by some squalling brat - I'm not being a b***h, her kid in particular was an obnoxious little s**t.

I had a big Indian wedding. I invited around 30 people. My parents invited around 80. My wife and her parents invited over 400. I literally didn't know anyone for large parts of the day.

Our flower girl dumped her whole basket at the end of the aisle and then started walking back out the aisle as I was walking down saying "wanna fro flowers" so we let her 😂. She's now almost 17 and we still kid her about it. She's a love bug and I wouldn't have changed it for the world.

It's the fault of the Limo service for waiting to confirm the services as long as they did. They should have called the night before. Also while they are not to blame it's definitely worth noting that you should not give your cell phone number if you are the bride or groom. Your best man and maid of honor (or literally anyone else in the wedding party) are the ones who are supposed to manage phones the day of.

This works really well actually - went to a wedding recently where this was the plan. By the time the couple were back from honeymoon they had thousands of fabulous candid shots that a professional photographer would never have managed. It was a fairly casual outdoor wedding though. Maybe it wouldn't be the best option for something more formal.

You’re not. You should probably fix that. My grandma was adopted and used what she thought was her real name to get married. The nuns were wrong. When she found and reconnected with her family, it turns out it was way off and they had to go to city hall in their 60’s to fix it.

I was pregnant with our 3rd child at our wedding. We are really bad at planning LOL and it was a planned pregnancy, any ways, had to get sparkling apple cider. We are a picture of my 5 year old with the whole bottle ripping it up in a corner while looking around suspiciously. I guess he thought it was real.

When I got married, my Mom and I went to have our hair styled. When we got back in the car, and the radio came on, someone had called in to make a remark about "A man getting married today who dedicated a song to his wife." He even mentioned the name of the song. (Our song)

Do to obligations I attend about 3 to 5 wedding receptions a year. I have rarely seen one where it did not end up in a drunken orgy. I hate going but usually have to. I try to only stay as long as I can get away with. Always try to get out before the drinking gets too bad. I can't tell you the number of times I have seen many of the guest arrive at the reception already blind drunk. Makes me disgusted. Usually the more spent on alcohol the shorter the marriage.

As the officiant I will not perform a ceremony if either of the parties is drunk. They are not legally capable of entering into a binding contract while under the influence. And yes, it's happened.

My brother was trying to save on costs so his wedding location was an old barn in the middle of a forest. I'm very allergic to both trees and mold. I spent the entire wedding struggling to breathe and puffy faced and that is really all I remember about the wedding. Also, the maid of honor and father of the bride speeches were so long and bad (I think they mentioned the bride once, mostly talking about themselves) at my cousin's wedding, that the best man decided his speech to about 30 sec because he was hungry. He got the biggest round of applause.

Your brother is kind of a d**k for doing that, if he already knew about your allergies.

BIL's wedding vows: "I will never give you up, I will never let you down, I will never turn around and desert you. I will never say goodbye, I will never make you cry, I will never tell a lie and hurt you." Sweet, and everyone who got it giggled, but still kinda a fail

I went to a wedding where the uncle of the groom gave his entire family copies of his (partly plagerized) self-publshed preachy pseudo-religious book instead of getting a gift for the new couple. Grooms sister is the one he plagerized for parts of the book. One of her aunts had me take her back to the hotel before she (not literally) killed him.

They wanted you to be wedding guests even though your mom died on the same day? You shouldn't be friends with sociopaths, it's not healthy.

My sister was my bridesmaid and forgot to bring her shoes. She made such a big deal of it. My husband told me later that the rabbi was about to leave because I was 30 minutes late. I told my sister to wear some other shoes, she refused. I said we can all go barefoot down the aisle. I just didn't care! Finally my brother showed up with the shoes and I've now been married 29 years. Now, about the singer who forgot to bring her background music...😂

I was flower girl in my parents and my aunts wedding. In the pictures of my aunts wedding I am happy as I can be but in my parents... I was grumpy and sad during the whole ceremony, all because I couldn't sit on their lap and none of the other family members laps was good enough XD.

I have so many bad stories about my wedding, it's no surprise that I ended up divorced. We only had the wedding like we did because his parents paid. Everything was done their way because it was their money. About 2 months after the wedding they showed up at our apartment and asked when we were going to pay them back. Excuse me? I had and paid for a wedding that I didn't want in the slightest. I spent a lot of time on the seating arrangements. It was a small wedding and everyone knew each other. When I got to the reception I was surprised to see that my family had changed all the seating and no one was where I out them. Grrrr. Oh... and one of the groomsmen cornered me and asked if I would be with him if he left his wife. Fun times....
