Oh boy. Had a small wedding in the colorado Rockies. This one couple did all of the below:

-brought their 7 month old without asking

-drove from Texas and expected to stay with us in our home at Denver before traveling to the mountains (Estes park, about 1.5 hours away)

-they did stay with us (husband is too nice). They criticized our house (too small, walls paper thin)

- thought they could do the wedding in a day trip from our house, did not buy hotel room. My parents had an extra one that the guys were getting ready in and gave them it. Stanley hotel, $800. They didn’t offer to pay or say thanks they actually asked my dad for his credit card for incidentals

- woman wore white to the wedding

- man forgot to buy groomsmen vest. Had to go to mall day before wedding to improvise

-baby cried during service and wedding coordinator had to escort them out

- rented a cabin for the weekend for the wedding party. Lots of partying and drinking. They brought the baby without asking us and then got mad/ turned off lights when we were too loud (we paid for it btw, about 400$ per person)

-man kept knocking on our door ON OUR WEDDING NIGHT as we were having sex asking if we saw his keys

- they didn’t buy us a gift

Oh. And I found out later that the man’s mom offered to fly to colorado from Texas to babysit the baby while they were at the wedding/ cabin and they declined.

My son (the ring bearer) and his dad got in a wreck on the way to the venue.

NOT what I wanted to hear as I was getting 33575789 hairpins installed for my fancy updo! The stylist overheard that conversation and brought me some wine.

Kid and Dad were fine, other drivers were fine, they were only a little late, and everything else went off without a hitch.

But DAMN. "Your son got in a car wreck" completely snapped me back to reality. The wedding is just fluff; family and marriage are serious commitments that are worth making and keeping.

I like that one best - not the accident part, of course, as it's super stressful and all...but that sentence that "the wedding is just fluff". Someone wears white on your wedding? Someone made a scene? Not everything goes up to plan? It's just fluff. It's your day, absolutely - but because you just made a family, started your own story - not because you had a party. I love it :)

DJ texted sometime DURING OUR VOWS that he wasn't showing up.

A lot of other things went wrong including a flash flood, hubbies car breaking down, my car keys getting somehow deadbolted locked inside of a hotel room that no one else was in (I still don't understand how that happened).

I had a little breakdown right before the reception because I thought I wasn't going to get my first dance without a DJ. My husband and MOH wiped my tears and we headed into the reception to find our friends DJing the reception collectively, ended up being really special and sweet.

8 years later and we joke we got all our bad luck out of the way that day, smooth sailing since 😆

First. Caterer tried to poison my flower girl and ring bearer with almonds on the hors d'oeuvre platters (I said no tree nuts anywhere due to their allergies, she didn’t care). Thankfully their mother was smart enough to keep them away. Then, same caterer put raspberries in my wedding cake (I’m allergic to raspberries, cake was supposed to be blueberry and lemon, she took it upon herself to add raspberries to the berry compote), SO I went into anaphylactic shock at my reception. Thankfully I had relatives there who are doctors and were able to administer epinephrine and make sure I could still breathe. Nevertheless, that caterer still ruined my wedding reception. I was out of commission for 5 hours that night, missed everything. Pictures ruined. It took 3 days for the swelling to go down on my face and throat. Only reason I’m still alive to tell the tale is because I had relatives present who are doctors and were able to save me. (The reception was held in a remote location in Vermont, too far away from a hospital so if it hadn’t been for my family and their kids’ epi pens (which they almost needed because of that same caterer’s carelessness with the appetizers), I wouldn’t have survived my own wedding reception).

We had a HUGE Italian style dessert bar served after the cake. I was to busy dancing, talking and having fun to make it over to the desserts. My mom asked if I wanted anything and she would make a to go box. I say yes, cheesecake. That's all, just cheesecake (it's my fav). Shortly after, my mom tells me it's all gone.

My cousin comes to tell me goodbye, holding a desert box. We chat, tells me how much fun she had, how great the food and desert was. Then says "the cheesecake was amazing, you should get some!" She opens the box to show me, 4 slices of cheesecake, along with a ton of other desserts.

I asked her if I could please have just 1 slice. She said "no, it's mine, should have gotten to it quicker!" I begged her and explained its my favorite desert. She still said no and promptly left.

My tall, attractive, athletic first husband was a ballroom dancer. So our first dance at the reception was going to rock, right?

I thought I was having fun at the time, but a friend remarked years later we looked terrible. He just looked like he was showing off and it was clear I couldn't keep up. He didn't care at all about slowing down and making us look like a couple.

It became a metaphor for our failed 10-year marriage. He only ever cared about his stuff and was constantly inconsiderate of me.

My second husband is an awkward, nerdy guy, 2.5" shorter than me. But we took dance lessons together, looked good at our wedding, and had fun.

My mom picked a fight with me at the reception because I didn't invite her extended family but I did invite my stepmom. Family that she had only recently reconciled with and who I didn't know. Meanwhile stepmom is a decent person who was married to the man who raised me so she's an automatic invite. Besides I was having only 24 guests in total. My mom looked like she had a lemon in her mouth during the wedding until she started arguing at the reception. We had actually fought about this a lot during the engagement so I think she came just to make a scene. Anyways, I asked her to leave and proceeded to have a blast. I have not voluntarily spoken to my mother in thirteen years.

Two bees flew up into my wedding gown as my Dad, myself and my attendants walked across the grounds of the venue to the ceremony area. I screamed and immediately began pulling up the bottom of my dress as the bees stung me, one on my butt and the other in a more delicate area. 😳
So there I was with the bottom of my dress pulled up over my head, with my Dad and attendants furiously looking for the culprits.

To my horror, I realized the 3 photographers which were snapping photo’s as we walked kept taking pictures, although one did lay his camera down to try and help, which wasn’t great either.

Everything got sorted, but I walked down the aisle and got married with half my butt and that other area burning and hurting. I sat on ice packs between dances at the reception. Sure enough when we got our wedding photo’s back for review, there were 5 photo’s of the whole wild scenario. 😂

We asked the pastor from my husband's childhood church to officiate. Very old school conservative. We discussed with him what we wanted him to talk about during the ceremony, marriage being hard work, treat love as a verb, that kind of thing. What he ended up doing was speeding through the passage I wanted read, then talked for 15 minutes about how marriage is for only men and women, how we are made this way and how hormones play a part. I should add that my father-in-law, who walked me down the aisle, is gay. Well known fact. The preacher's speech at my wedding was basically condemnation for my father in law. He was able to laugh it off, but I am still mad about it to this day. We call it the hormone speech, the one black spot on what was otherwise a perfect day.

Two months before my wedding I wound up in the burn ICU for a month. We had to cancel my shower and my bachelorette was cut short because I had a panic attack thanks to the resulting PTSD. I was on so many painkillers I don't remember much of the day itself, and I could only bring myself to look at the pictures once. Sometimes I feel like I got cheated out of a happy wedding.

MIL shared the news before we could.

We eloped, and didn't tell anyone until 30 mins before. We only told immediate family right before, with very clear directions not to share with anyone yet. We got married in the evening, turned our phones off, and in the morning woke up to messages from all of the inlaws (aunts/uncles and cousins). We had originally planned to do a social post within a couple days, but because she shared our news, we opted not to at all. My family waited until I gave the go ahead to share it with others (to the point my little sister told me that my dad was having a really hard time not sharing it with his brother/my uncle, but he knew it wasn't his news to share, so he didn't).

At least we know who gets any other big news last now.

Not exactly *at* my wedding but it is a big part of it... so my mom is a REALLY good seamstress so I asked her if she would make my dress. She was happy I asked, I had the pattern picked out, ordered the 15 yards or very expensive silk... a few months before the wedding I asked her if I could see what she's done and asked if she needed me to try anything on, she said she wasn't ready to show me yet and said she is plugging away on it. Months go by, still haven't seen anything. Exactly three weeks before the wedding she tells me she isn't gonna have any of it done. I went to a bridal store and just bought the first dress I tried on because it fit perfectly. There wouldn't have been time for adjustments. It was pretty enough, but not what I wanted. Still, to this day I've never seen any parts of the dress she was making and I am pretty sure she never e en so much as cut the pattern out.

Our photographer's ideas of "casual and candid shots of our guests having fun" was zooming in on one person's face in a group of 5+ with everyone else's head shown from the back and blurred out. Every photo looked like this. Only our posed wedding party shots were usable.

At the reception he did not play any of the music that we sent, we started wondering why, he had non of our music saved... after we literally begged him to play songs that we requested, he played 2 of them (because we asked twice) from youtube! he was cutting them short and continuing to play his favourite music. It was horrible, because guests were not following, it was not something dancable or even familiar to them, a lot of them were super outdated and culturally, language-wise not familiar. AND every freaking song he was cutting short and putting another... you know the feeling when you just just starting to get into the vibe and it cuts. Frustrating. And then the best came...

Well my wife and i are both in our second round of marriage and so we learned one thing: you marry for yourself and not for the guests, you can never ever make things right for every one. That does not mean that you should be rude or sth. but we didnt invite guests just because someone said we should, we just invited the people we wanted there, we planed everything ourself had a lot of fun and the best wedding ever. Since we where not allowed to.marry in church (both female) we had a wonderfull free spreach and free planned wedding with ceremony parts we wanted. I will never forget it. Second thing we learned: if you have any bad feeling while getting married (no matter how short before) DONT DO IT! Really everone we know who.is happily married says they dont had "cold feet" or bad feelings, and same with us, the second marriage felt just right in all parts!

My cousin- formerly a fairly non-religious “Christian” changed her entire personality when she met her Hillsong boyfriend. Their wedding was full of statements about the “sanctity of marriage being ruined by the legalisation of same-sex unions” and the “role a woman plays in being obedient to her husband.” The groom’s family also condemned divorce. Every single one of her aunts or cousins are either divorced, gay or the child or sibLing of someone who is divorced or gay. It was beyond horrifying!

Oh goodness, where do I begin? My grandmother's first words to me that day were saying my dress was ugly and I had funeral flowers. Two family members threw a fit over who was taking pictures (there was a hobbyist photographer on both sides of the family) and I had to spend time placating them. My best friend complained about her ex and his new girlfriend all day. Same grandmother whined about no lunch before the reception that evening (when she had been invited to the big family rehearsal dinner the night before and ignored it). I'm diabetic and never managed to find time to eat... So instead of a romantic wedding night/first night together, my husband and I sat in the Burger King drive through (where they forgot we were there) trying to get some semblance of food into me. Thankfully it's been 13 years and we are still going strong!

Oh gosh, yes, my first wedding. We were really young, students, didn’t have a penny. We were dressed in the new clothes we bought which we were going to use for graduation and work afterwords. The cities wedding officiant started off his speech detailing how wonderful the previous couple was. He tried to regain himself by talking about how the two of us met on vacation in what was then known as Yugoslavia, to proceed into a speech about the terrible war that country had. He didn’t stay for small talk afterwards. My MIL disapproved of the whole wedding and had a thundering lemon face all day. Afterwards, the cafe, where we took our crowd of friends and family, were told everyone could have a beer, a wine, or an orange juice on us. When it came to bill time it was huge! They had been serving fresh pressed orange juice, charged by the glass, all evening. By that time my fresh husband was so stressed he laid into me and the day ended in tears.

Not my wedding but the groom is a guy I worked with. On the day of wedding, the bride started throwing up and couldn’t stop. She had food poisoning and kept getting worse. By the time the ceremony rolled around, she was hospitalized. The father of the groom had to announce that there would be no wedding that day but everyone please come to the dinner because it was paid for. The bride missed the whole day and spent it in the hospital with the groom at her side. He made a brief appearance at the dinner to thank everyone for coming and to reassure them that yes, they are still getting married. I’m not sure when they got married but there was a party later where she wore her dress. But a decade later, the marriage is still going strong.

On our wedding day, we both got 2 days before gastroenteritis from a visit to my now wife's grandfather who was at the hospital. This same grandfather didn't attend to the wedding because he didn't want to, not because he was feeling wrong or sth. My father was going through cancer treatment so he had to run to the toilet often. And due to family issues we had to invite a lot of people that we didn't even know, very common in Spain. Final result: all the photographs taken of me before the wedding were of a worried groom, not even by far the happy day everyone talks about. At least, we went to Vegas and a drunk Elvis married us stinking of bourbon (he )was, we don't drink

Not really bad, but my best friend skipped my wedding for a job interview for a job she ended up not taking. It wasn’t a huge deal because the wedding was kind of last minute (we had a courthouse ceremony and were having a hard time finding someone available to officiate) and was super small. Just us and two witnesses. Also, the judge that presided over our wedding misspelled my name on our marriage certificate. I have a common middle name, but with unique spelling, so a lot of people spell it incorrectly. But it was literally on the sheet of paper right above the section he filled out. And we didn’t catch it when we signed it, so we didn’t realize until we got our copy.

Some of my husband's friends took a few plates of hors d'œuvres to their table during the garden reception. Basically we had a buffet of hors d'œuvres spread out on a long table for every guests presented there but apparently the friends didn't want to share. We thought it was so rude of them and many guests thought so too. The same group of friends decided to give all their attention to my brother in law and his then ex girlfriend. Not caring about my husband and myself at our wedding. (after this incident we decided to break contact with many of them, my husband only keeps in contact with 1 and myself 1 other.) There were so many other incidents that happen during our wedding 10 years ago that we cringe just thinking about it. It did leave us bitter. If we could do it all over again, we know who to invite and who we wouldn't. FYI my own friends and family couldn't make it to ours because of finances (one however manage to go to another wedding because it was set somewhere exotic.)

Spend the money on premarital counseling. Way better investment.

We eloped. Best decision we could have made with the amount of alcoholics we have in both our families. I don't even attend weddings in my family because it always ends up with a drunken brawl. We've been happily married 21 years :)

It wasn't your fault that you missed the wedding. You were sick and being home was probably the best thing for you.

Not all weddings are soap operas. It depends on the people involved.
