👍👍👍 Totally agree! It's not like the fact he'd been married before would have been a secret or even unusual.
Load More Replies...He could have started the speech with " Welcome to Joe's wedding tales part II" Or " Joe's wedding remixed and remastered"
Or just stuck with 'welcome back everyone', simple and to the point.
Load More Replies...Yea... that's tacky. It's your friend's wedding and you are focused on a joke you know he won't like, making fun of probably one of the most painful things he had to deal with.
Agree ❤️ while it's really funny, it also is a bit unsensitive and kindof lacks empathy. If I was the second bride I'm not sure I'd feel alright with this joke. But it could also be a funny moment for everyone - it really depends on who's attending.
Load More Replies...After attending my gal friend's 4th wedding, I gave her a certificate saying after a year she can choose the wedding gift of her choice at her fav store. One of these just has to last . . .
I didn’t make it to my sister’s fourth wedding, after having been Maid of Honor in the first, which was the big white affair, and signatory in the second, which was a Justice of the Peace deal. I don’t even remember the third, although I’m pretty sure I was there since I really liked the guy she was marrying, but passed in the fourth since I was by then living in a different state and didn’t even know the guy she was marrying. I will say this: she sincerely believes in marriage!
Load More Replies...That´s just AWESOME!! xDD And it fits all of them so perfectly :)

Load More Replies...I thought they were the bridesmaids of a senior bride. They look great!
I don't see how it could possibly have been any better.
Load More Replies...Dogs are dogs. Leave them at home. Weddings and other gatherings are stressful for them.
They really aren't, do these huskies sound stressed?. Most dogs thrive on social interaction and love being out and about, If they are used to social situations it's fine plus they are our doggy family, my dogs love going places with me and seeing people they know, better than leaving them at home every-time
Load More Replies...Even though he agreed to marry her in the first place...
Load More Replies...That's my face when the realization sets in that I should have had that second plate of refried beans
Without context I would have guessed this was a photo of a wedding at which the groom turned into a werewolf and attacked the bride.
I think it's pain laughing. I do that. It's very confusing to others. Am I angry? Am I am used? Am I crying? Am I laughing? Yes. To all of that.
Load More Replies...They’re festive while keeping with the black-and-white theme.
Load More Replies...You know in the wedding vows we say, "In GOOD times and in BAD times"... You skipped the GOOD and went straight to BAD TIMES mate... Talk of testing the marriage with fire and brimstone.
If that's your real last name you should make vacuums
Load More Replies...He's secretly Morpheus and gave you the blue pill because the matrix ain't for you!
in France the bride must wear something blue to bring good luck.... so it's perfect
The real joke is that the dress was white at the beginning of the evening!
Because someone had a glass of wine and another drank some coffee?, weird.
Load More Replies...Did she ever look in a mirror of her back view when buying the dress?
why is it so common to see someone ripping their pants at weddings?
So your sister in law was hot but not in a good way? Best man speech could have started "Dude your new wife is smokin hot!!"
I need that DJ for if I ever get married. What the... I want him for my Old Spinster's Partee-heee!
I've upvoted this simply because you called them pants, which they are. :)
Load More Replies...This happened to my ex at his brother's wedding...I laughed...he was not amused....
That's not exactly needless to say - but I'm relieved that's the case.
Kinky con-artists. They HAD to know they were going to get caught. Just think about that for a second...
... And exactly how did the front desk check-in two different couples to the same honeymoon suite? Did the kinky con-artists know enough to pretend they lost their keys AND identification, etc? Actually plausible on your wedding night, but these people are diabolical.
Load More Replies...You mean to tell me a high end hotel didn't ask to see ID and the card being used before handing over the room key?
Nobody said it was in recent years. It could be many years ago. y'know, just 20 years ago identity and e-identity weren't nearly as closely watched.
Load More Replies...Why do people pull that c**p? Do they think it's funny or cool? What a bunch of asshats!
I upped you, but no, it definitely isn’t wrong.
Load More Replies...That was very sweet of them to try and catch her. Haha, what a cute family photo.
I would have laid there for a second pointing out the beauty and the intricacies of the ceiling....
Looks like they heard something funny and all fell down laughing Peppa Pig style.
I saw the pic and thought they had all died laughing during the ceremony 🤣
Same thing happened at my wedding. My very, VERY old and mega-grouchy Chinese grandmother-in-law climbed four steps for the photos … and fell flat on her face. She was apparently mortified, and refused ANY attempts to lift her up. Since she didn’t speak English, she didn’t even try, and she stayed there, face down, as stiff as a board. I didn’t know whether she’d had a stroke or was dead, and totally wanted to freak out but I remained calm and got everyone to leave the room save for my then-husband and his parents. I figured maybe she’d get up if there were no witnesses. Sure enough, it worked, but having what looked like a dead old Chinese lady face-down on the floor at my wedding, refusing to budge, is the most vivid of my wedding memories.
Nope. Grew up on a dairy farm with over 200 cows. Birthing calves was a common place event and I don't believe it. Never heard any of them make much noise at all - cows giving birth for the first time, cows having difficulty and needing a vet to help them give birth. Nope.
He probably just assumed it was a cow giving birth, more likely just a hungry cow. Hungry cows make lots of noise, or maybe even a cow recently separated from her calf.
Load More Replies...Well, that probably would have been the noise that the cow made AFTER she gave birth. Because that's when they take away the calf so that we humans can drink the breast-milk that was meant to raise a baby cow. Leaving a distraught mama cow that will call out for her baby for days. That's one of many reasons why I chose to go vegan.
I can personally vouch for this being true having grown up on a dairy farm.
Load More Replies...Cows waiting to be milked are noisy. Cows giving birth, not so much. Sorry....former dairy farmer here too....
That is a stressed cow not a birthing cow, farms really do talk c**p to cover up horrible practices.
I have spent a lot of time around cattle, and they can be very noisy, especially when they are hungry and their food is late, or they want to be milked in their udders are heavy and uncomfortable. Having a wedding on a farm means that you have disrupted the normal schedule for the day, and the animals will notice!
If you want to hear a commotion, go to a ranch when the calves are weaned from their mothers. It can drive you insane by the third day. I assume maybe something like this actually took place. Cows are mostly silent during birth except for a few low key grunts.
New life. New lives as one. Sounds like it was a very moo-ving ceremony. (Had to be done. Sorry)
Nobody can blame him if he, being blind, kissed the priest instead of his bride
Why did they have earwax remover at the wedding? I'm honestly curious
Most likely happened while he was getting ready. He might have been staying with friends and went through their bathroom cabinet looking for eye drops, saw a similar bottle and just assumed. I doubt he put them in at the church.
Load More Replies...He probably had a thing for her back then too and didn’t have the courage to tell her why.
Load More Replies...If the best friend of the person you are marrying says you shouldn't, chances are they know something you don't so you should listen.
And for the noisy cows as well. People make up things for attention or don't understand what's going on.
Load More Replies...Any mother who would do this makes me wonder what other wretched things she’s done to her kids. 😞
Load More Replies...that´s a nice warm up for new family members XD no time for shyness ...
Sorry you had such a s****y mother. Hope you're in a better place now.
Load More Replies...A 12 year old who 'kept getting refills' of 'spiked lemonade' would do more than 'feel a bit weird towards the end of the night' - I seriously question this one.
Maybe not every refill was the spiked one. I remember (US) weddings in the 70s, with open bars, and they were very lax about things back then.
Load More Replies...Yeah that's not something that accidentally happens and they should've called the police on the bartender
Load More Replies...I had a cocktail bar at my wedding an all of a sudden I saw all the kids walking around drinking cocktails! Scared the c**p out of me so I went to the bartender and he told me he made all the kids virgin cocktails because they wanted the fancy drinks all the adults were having, haha.
When I went to a wedding as an eight-year-old, they had a fountain with cheap wine or champagne. I had a glass and filled it from the fountain several times throughout the night, with no one stopping me. My mother and father were busy being the minister and minister's wife. They were accustomed to my taking care of myself and staying out of trouble at such events. Which usually I did. Except this time.
I was 12 at a cousins wedding and they had the champagne glasses all filled in one of those multi tired arrangements.. unguarded... best wedding (that I barely remember) ever.
When to a wedding where my three teens sat at a table together. They were serving everyone champagne. I assumed the kids would get sparkling cider etc. They served my "obvious" teens at the table champagne. One being my exchange student was thrilled! When I called on Monday to complain I was told ....well that is what the bride and groom wanted. I was like.....what! to serve alcohol to teenagers??????
at my cousins 18th there were a bunch of jellies with alcohol in them - saw a boy walking around with them and thought nothing of it (wasnt sure if he had gotten some from the fridge or something since he has loads of Allergies and usually packs his own food) yet eventually he started to jump on everyone and scream PEEEKABO as my mum did it to my baby brother 😅😭😂
As an organist I've heard many wedding homilies, but never one as good as this one. The priest spontaneously gave an example of the progression of a marriage: At first the love is like a fresh fire burning brightly, warming all around it. After time the flames begin to die down and there are only coals left. Sometimes to revive the warmth it needs a good poke." Mother of the bride couldn't hold back and was laughing her head off, shortly joined by everyone but the priest who hadn't a clue.
Legally, if your correct names are on the license that was filed with the state, you are married in the eyes of the state/government. Theologically, you might want to consult with an expert! (insert wink emoji)
Theologically, there is nothing to worry about; holy matrimony is the only sacrament that is not administered by someone else (like communion or baptism) but that you administer to one another :) The priest acts as a witness but otherwise he is irrelevant for the validity of your marriage.
Load More Replies...Considering that priesthood is "God's calling" i'd say God sucks when it comes to HR.
OMG! This happened to us. We say we had a Simpson’s wedding (see Vegas episode).
No worries. As long as it is written right on the marriage certificate it's official.
Especially coz wedding ceremonies and mass are generally boring.
Load More Replies...If someone with the spoken name shouted "Yes" is that a legal marriage then? :D
The problem is, the chair is way too comfy. It's OK for a chair to look ornate, but it should be uncomfortable after 10 minutes.
Her nickname needs to be shortened to just “Boobs.” What an introduction to her in-laws, showing them her (・人・) AT HER WEDDING. The mortification woulda killed me!
That's why bridesmaids' dresses deserve the option of straps. Brides, take note. As someone with giant boobs, I can't imagine having to dance in a strapless outfit - with or without a nephew.
What was the back story?? Would love to know, because in my opinion nothing would excuse this.
Load More Replies...My God if I ever get married and my mother in law did something this petty, I'd tell her to go change or she can leave! How disrespectful!
There's a previous story on here that explains this in detail (: I was annoyed too at first but reading it changed my mind
Load More Replies...Do you buy the explanation? I can't help but feel the bride was annoyed (legitimately) and then had to come up with a lot of 'oh I didn't mind, she's a sweetie, so helpful and is SUCH a bargain lover' c**p because the family were pissed off with her.
Load More Replies...And who's the lady at the left, with her back to the camera? Because I thought it's "not done" either to wear black at a wedding. Though I know many many MANY women scoff at this convention. Because everyone wants to show off their perfect little black dress.
A young child reacting to parents or others kissing is understandable and normal but a grown woman having that reaction is childish lol.
Yep - just found myself thinking 'oh grow up'.
Load More Replies...This is not fail, this is expression of brother-sister relation in it's pure form :D
I understand her “horror”. I had 4 older brothers. I grew up with them and knew just how gross and disgusting they could be. So I could just never understand why any woman in her right mind would ever like them, much less go out with them or, for God’s sake, marry them. I love my brothers, but yuck.
It probably resolved itself as I can't see much other than one deleted comment and this. 😜
Load More Replies...The father is a piece of s**t. Even if the bride was a terrible person, the father just f*****g ruined an expensive event and caused his son a s**t ton of problems. What did he accomplish? Also, he isn't the one who has to spend the foreseeable future with her.
yes, that's not nice at all. He shouldn't disrespect women and verbally like that, especially his son's choice and bride. If he has any disapproval he should have discussed or reasoned elsewhere but to publically denounce someone, worse without any reason or cause, i'm sorry but thats senseless.
Load More Replies...This is horrible! BUUUUUUUUUUT i want to know the background for that, should be hella interesting.
Why didn't he speak up when the officiant asked if anyone had reason the couple should not be married?
I'm guessing that dad was just making sure he wouldn't be spending much holiday time with her.
Load More Replies...Always 2 sides to the story, could have been shady stuff that happened previously, but no excuse to try and humiliate tje bride like tjat on her day. Sounds like daddy a drama queen grudge holder and booze may had a play in it. Not cool.
yeah this actually looks like a really cute couple.
Load More Replies...Somehow this guy managed to make falling down the stairs look suave...
"If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself." At least you have to outline what you want and check at every step.
😂😂😂... didn't you ask what he planned to cook? Or give him a list of food not to present - i.e. hot dogs... 🤦♀️
NO. READ THE FIRST LINE. Dad was in charge of food. If they didn't tell him what they wanted, then it was their fault. End of story. No guilt.
Load More Replies...My father would do something like that but everyone knows he would so he isn’t trusted with stuff like that. Brilliant engineer but very simple outside of that. He gave my mother a bathroom scale for their anniversary one time cause he last minute remembered she wanted a new one months earlier. They’ve been divorced 35 years.....
My ex was a groomsman in my wedding. He's really good friends with my husband. We all get along well and spend a lot of time together (including his wife and our kids). Not everyone hates each other after a breakup.
Load More Replies...Hope it was before the signing of the papers so the bride to be could leave the dirty rat at the altar. EDIT: Oops, I read the post wrong. He isn’t the dirty rat, the ex is.
The only dirty rat was the former girlfriend reading old love letters.
Load More Replies...Why was she even asked to talk at the wedding let alone why was she there
Well, to be honest, the first wo look like black dresses with white stripes, while the last look like a white dress with black stripes.
Hoping the cousin wasn't the daughter of the aunt. That would be super awkward.
The first picture is the same woman as the third- they both are wearing pearls, and haircut is the same
Look closer. Different pearlstrings, different earrings, different bracelets.
Load More Replies...It would have been an awesome surprise if it was brief...
Load More Replies...That would have been a really cool surprise if it had only been a short performance.
Your wedding, just ask them to stop instead of looking grumpy..or join in
If it is an expression of my cultural heritage, or an appreciation of the local cultural heritage, that would be so awesome! If it is a practical joke, The father has shown himself to be, publicly, a major a*****e. If he is like this in public, how is he in private? How does he treat his wife and son? How will his son treat his wife and children?
I love that the wife looks so mad and the husband looks like he is having the best time of his life lol
How long (or short) was the reception time ? Why hire traditionnal dancers ? More backstory, please.
If this prank had been played on me, as the bride, I would be mortified on behalf of the dancers. I would make a public announcement, at the reception, asking my guests to please donate to a charity close to the heart of the dancers. Out of respect to the dancers, I don't think I would announce to the guests that this was a prank. I don't know if I could even bring myself to tell the dancers during the event that it was a prank. I would probably want to communicate that with them very soon after. This is so upsetting, though. I would seek couple's counseling immediately. We either have to deal, as a couple, with an a*****e family member, or I have to deal with the fact that I married a man who thinks that disrespecting a culture and ruining a couple's public celebration is funny.
seriously? my aunt gave my uncle (after the divorce) a pass for weddings. he never paid child support and had a warrant on that basis, and she could have easily gotten him into major trouble. (he worked under the table just so he could screw her over.) but she had the grace to not ruin their kids' events - not that anyone gave her credit for it. SMDH
There's always someone worse out there - small comfort I know!
Load More Replies...Perhaps that was his performance? If he was a good singer I can't see anything wrong with that....
But... why do you say she was a stripper ? it has nothing to do with history.
Wait he brought a mistress?!?! That’s horrible on its own. Or is this in the south?
Not a mistress, a girlfriend who happened to work as a stripper. I don't think the guy was married.
Load More Replies...there should not have been any weddings the day the pope died, just a day of mourning.
Load More Replies...You’ve never planned a wedding have you. Not a question
Load More Replies...Why would he want to leave her then? Looks like he is just not a d**k
It was funny, why downvoted. Dark humour is good, ignore if it's not for you
Load More Replies...Could have been one of those mothers who hates all of her son's girlfriends. Wants to keep her little boy's attention on herself.
Load More Replies...I could say your MIL is a b***h. But if she asked you first, and went ahead with your permission, great!
Sounds like something my MIL would do. They brought coolers with alcohol, because A cash bar is too expensive. F*****g cheap skate.
I mean... if you served a vegan menu I can kinda understand where she's coming from.
Even if they served only vegan, then you still have to act like you're a decent human being and eat what is served. It's not like you die when you don't eat meat for once.
Load More Replies...And kind of completely unbelievable that no one stopped him.
Load More Replies...Sorry, but a wedding is not an "all you can drink until you're passed out on the floor" event.
I wish my sister had realised that at every family wedding she's ever been to.
Load More Replies...The cake normally taste bad anyway. It severed its purpose of being a center piece.
Depends on the cake - I had a chocolate orange cake and it was gorgeous!
Load More Replies...I'm sorry? On the day of the wedding the bride is the one in power. The bride should have sent the mother home and have the wedding as she wanted it. And where was the groom?
My MIL was 30 mins late to my wedding and because she had my daughter who was flower girl I couldn’t start without her. I later found out that she was late because she wanted to finish her cup of tea. She was also in charge of bringing the stereo to play the song I was going to walk down the aisle too. She forgot so our friend played the song on his car stereo. We had a juke box for music and were dancing to the chicken dance when the top of my dress popped open and I wasn’t wearing a bra so I quickly ran into the kitchen so my SIL could do the zipper back up. My daughter decided to do a poo explosion through her nappy and went all over her dress so my In-laws took her to their house, washed her and she spent the rest of the wedding in track pants and a jumper. But even with all these things I had the best time, I loved my wedding. The only thing I would have changed is the photographer, I should have hired a professional instead of cutting costs and using a family friend.
If it's any consolation my sister ended up paying a fortune for her photographer and he wasn't that good. My photos were actually better (good camera).
Load More Replies...I went to an old friend's wedding...hadn't seen her in years but we were best of friends all through our childhood. Somehow I got put in charge of cutting the cake for everyone. I ended up cutting it so the structure that holds up the top tiers came loose and the cake toppled over. Cake went everywhere.
I was a bridesmaid four times, and schedule for a fifth. During one marriage ceremony, the priest's sermon included the word "Divorce" exactly 13 times. Yes, I counted. And, yes, they ended up divorced. And this was the priest that did their premarital couples counseling... What-the-what?!
"And this was the priest that did their premarital couples counseling" Makes sense. He got to know the couple and works with people professionally so probably knows people really well so he made an informed guess or simply listened to his gut feeling --- which doesn't excuse him using the word that much during the wedding ceremony (should have talked to them in private instead), unless he improvised and did it subconsciously
Load More Replies...my cousin did not believe us when we told her we were too large breasted to wear strapless bridesmaid dresses. Her maid of honor bowed at the alter at the beginning of the ceremony and completely came out of the top. flashed the alter.
As a punk in the 90s, I had PINK hair. Went through my sis's wedding rehearsal with pink, then went home that night and rinsed it to black for her next day, the big day. She cried her thank you. She was not going to ask me to change . . . but . . . I did NOT want her wedding pictures to have a BOZO with pink hair, for the rest of her life. I changed my hair back after the weekend . . . Love you, sis!
In my country we have a whole tradition for the bride and groom's entrance to the reception. You have to do a bunch of things, but the the very first is the bride has to kick over a small metal pot full of water (resembling a tiny cauldron) laid on the floor. The spilled water in your path would bring luck and happiness. Of course I couldn't turn it over on my first try. On my second I kicked the thing too hard and sent a metal missile flying at my mother's feet. Luckily she stepped out of the way on time. I still don't know how we're supposed to take it. We had a good laugh about it though.
My cousin got married to a girl from an extremely old-fashioned family, and she wanted her first kiss to be her wedding kiss. Nothing wrong with that, expect they definitely did not plan how the kiss would go. On their first attempt, he knocked off her glasses. On the second attempt, she hit her tooth on his nose. They finally landed the kiss on Attempt #3.
I am gonna say that about half should be listed on r/thathappened. But funny non the less.
