Drunken antics
Everyone knows wedding receptions can be drunken occasions, and with the booze comes some bold behaviour.
One bar man revealed: “The bride was absolutely plastered, bar was closed, and she’s leaning against the bar.
“Some really dorky guy comes up to her and starts telling her how he thought they were always more than friends, and they had a deep connection.
“As if just to shut this moron up, the bride pulls the top of her dress down, says ‘there’, and then walks away.”
While sometimes the culprit is a bit close for comfort.
Dance With House Cats added: “A childhood friend of the groom stood up and held a speech about how the groom would never beat his new wife or his children.
“The groom had no history of domestic abuse or being a violent person whatsoever. It was really weird and so embarrassing. The couple were mortified.”
Just plain embarrassing
Jack With No Name said: "Family dog was the ring bearer. The ring bearer took a s*** on the way down the aisle."
Ball in uh Cup said: “Two of my friends got married. The groom cheated on his bride quite often, including the night before the wedding.
“An anonymous text was sent out and spilled the beans to the bride. A fight ensued, but the wedding continued as planned.
“Also, the girl that did the bride’s make-up for the wedding… well, that was the girl who had been sleeping with the groom.
“I never witnessed a more awkward situation in my life.”
Emma Westlund said her funniest memory was: “The bride’s water breaking as she hobbled down the aisle…”
Da Hoss Boss, a waiter, added: “I can’t count the number of times I’ve walked in on people having sex in the basement.”
And RPJ 516 said: “My brother asked me and my brother to make CDs for their sister’s wedding.
“We didn’t attend the wedding but we found out every CD turned out perfect… Except the one with the song the bride and groom danced to.
“I believe it was some N Sync song or something, but it only played for a good ten seconds before changing to a recording of someone - singing a song about their testicles.”
Who invited this lot?
New Yorker Admiral Waffles said: “The bride’s mother tried to convince her very pregnant daughter to do a pole dance/strip tease on a tent pole.
“Her daughter refused. And that’s when she decided to take matters into her own hands.
“It’s remarkably awkward watching a middle aged, white trash woman doing a strip show surrounded by your family.”
Poly Hooly recalled: “The groom invited one of his friends and his girlfriend, who was the groom’s ex.
“I was helping the bride with her dress in the bathroom, and the girlfriend walks in.
“The bride goes to wash her hands when ‘Oops!’ girlfriend dumps a whole drink down the bride’s dress.”
Day Break 74 added: “My mum toasting the groom (not me, thankfully) and saying how thankful she was to have the bride come into his life, thereby removing any questions about the groom’s sexual orientation.
“Booze may have been a factor. No way in hell did that woman get within 10 paces of the microphone at MY wedding.”
Takes the Biscuit said: “One of the guests threw up on the red carpet at the head of all the meal tables.
“That guest was me. I was 10.”
And Syowangza added: “At my cousin’s wedding, all was going well until my five-year-old cousin, the ring bearer, takes the cushion with the ring on it and spins it above his head – leaving the bride’s ring nowhere to be found.
“It took all of the bridesmaids and groomsmen a good while of crawling around on their knees to recover it.”
Bridezillas
The Money Of Art said: “Probably when the bride came storming into the men’s room, screaming that it was the last dance and everyone needed to be on the dance floor or her night would be ruined.
“She then kicked her new sister-in-law out of the reception.
