Brides and grooms share cringeworthy wedding disasters from food poisoning to a child who peed on the dancefloor

WEDDINGS are a joyous - and expensive - occasion which can go very wrong, resulting in hilarious stories which won't be forgotten in a hurry. 

From drunken groomsmen to guests wearing white, most of us have heard some truly shocking tales from weddings. 

Brides, grooms, guests, relatives and even photgraphers have been sharing their worst wedding disasters on a viral Twitter thread, after Jimmy Fallon put a call out for cringeworthy tales. 

The presenter said: “It’s Hashtags time! Tell us about a weird or embarrassing wedding story, and tag it with #WeddingFail. Could be on the show!”

People didn’t disappoint, with the tweet racking up thousands of likes as hundreds owned up to some truly embarrassing wedding fails. 

From dogs and children peeing to brides turning up at the wrong venue, these stories may make you think twice about tying the knot.

One woman said: “At my mom's second wedding, when everybody was clapping after they kissed, my brother who was 8 at the time yelled ‘You don't have to clap.  She's already been married before’.”

Despite trying her best to make the bride look good, this MUA revealed: “I was the makeup artist and when I went to freshen up the brides lipstick mid-pictures (before the ceremony) the lipstick broke and fell down leaving a streak of RED straight down the front of her dress!”

This bride proudly wrote: “Forgot my overnight bag for my wedding night -had to walk thru the hotel lobby in my WEDDING GOWN the day AFTER my wedding looking a mess bc I had nothing else to wear!

"Strangers in the lobby looked at me like I was a runaway bride! At least I got to wear my gown 2x!"

A groom’s sister commented: “My brother mistakenly drank one of the lemon-scented center pieces thinking it was lemonade. He later warned us the lemonade was awful.”

This poor groom revealed: “I ended up cracking my wife’s rib trying to recreate “the lift” from Dirty Dancing when the DJ played “I’ve Had The Time of My Life.” 

Any couples getting married, take note: “We didn't note on our invitation that we were getting married on the day of Daylight Savings and most of our guests showed up an hour late.”

Another good tip from this couple: “Our venue told us the napkins would be blush and navy. They were instead pink and royal blue making all the tables in our reception look like a gender reveal party. 

“We definitely weren’t pregnant at our wedding but guests wondered if there would be an announcement.”

And this wedding won’t be forgotten in a hurry: “We gave our guests a case of food poisoning.  Needless to say, it was quite a long flight to our honeymoon. 

“Thank you cards were fun, thanks for the money, sorry for the diarrhea.”

This poor wedding guest said: “I showed up to my cousins wedding in the exact same color as the bridesmaids dresses! I could’ve been a stand in if any one of those girls couldn’t make it!”

And brides are going wild after Primark launched a bridal section in store featuring all your wedding essentials.

Plus this couple cut into a tower of bananas for a wedding cake which people have compared to something rude instead.

While this sassy bride sent a passive aggressive thank you note to her friend who wore white to the wedding.
