Wedding Horrors

MeaghanandMichael

ummmm so a girl on my local just told us how at her wedding, during the after party, a groomsmen stole the key to the the B&G wedding suite and has sex with a rando wedding guest IN their room. His response when they flipped out on him? "Well we didn't do it in the bed, only on the couch and in the bathroom." FFS!

Any good horror stories out there?

Awww Christ. Two of my friends in high school had sex in the back seat of my car at a party because it was the only unlocked car they could find. I don't have any crazy wedding horror stories. My friend Candace had a DW in Florida and her mother couldn't understand why Candace and her husband wanted to go to Mexico on their honeymoon when they could just spend the rest of the vacay with the fam. Moron.

My friend's wedding dress was altered a tiny bit too small.  Combine that with 90 degree heat, not eating enough, nerves, and champagne (and then wolfing down a ton of apps very quickly) and she got a migraine.  The migraine led to projectile vomiting in the bridal suite before the introductions.  The DJ didn't know so she had to rally quickly and go out to be introduced and cut the cake and kiss her H with vomit-mouth.  As soon as they were done she continued vomming hard for the next hour or two.

She perked up eventually, but that would suck.

Lauren, your sig is amazing.

That's crazy!

I don't know if you'd call this a "horror" but it's the worst thing I can think of at the moment. 

A girlfriend of mine got married summer of 2008.  She had been working on this guy forever.  He didn't want to get married but I think he finally caved to her, obviously.  I don't think (and I wasn't alone in this) that he was the one for her.  I think (and others do too) that she settled for him for various reasons, the major one being that she wants a kid NOW for medical reasons and just felt like he was the best she could do. 

Anyway, she was completely freaking out the whole week leading up to the wedding, just freaking over minor details and things like that.  The ceremony went perfectly, it was nice, yadda yadda.  At the reception, everything is fine, dinner is fine and we did some dancing and then she had another freak out.  She had to go the bridal suite and lay down, left her own reception for over an hour.  Her BMs had to get her out of her dress because she couldn't breathe, not because it was tight.  Anyway, she's gone from her own reception for more than hour.  Finally we had to leave because it was getting late and we just left without saying goodbye, and a lot of other guests did too, because her and the groom were in the bridal suite the whole time. 

I just thought it was so weird that after the stress of the anticipation was over, she would freak out again.  We speculated about how happy she was to actually be marrying this guy you know?  At any rate, it was crazy and left people with a really bad impression.

Thanks Pink! The pic isn't terribly flattering, but my brother took it and it makes me laugh.

I would never ever ever speak to that person again. That is so disrespectful.

FSIL's (FI's SIL) stepmother thought that their (FSIl & FBIL) wedding reception was the right place to announce that she (SM) was divorcing her (FSIL) father. Sorry for all the parenthesis, a different time I told this story someone got confused and thought FSIL was announcing that she was divorcing her father.

Very TMI, reader beware. At this same reception menopause decided to kick FMIL's ass. Apparently her period started that day. And ended. With the same amount of bleeding she would have had in a regular length period.

At SIL's wedding a year before ours she spent SO much money on her pretty princess day.  Well after dinner when the dancing started going strong she decided to go change into her second dress.  She was gone maybe 15 minutes and when she came back everybody had left except the bridal party and a few other family members.  (there was like 175 people there).  Nobody said goodbye, they just left.  She walked back in the room to show off her second dress and almost dropped to the floor.  But we immediately had the DJ play a good line dance song (she made the BM's come to practices to learn line dances I kid you  not!) so that got her mood back ok and we had fun and danced the rest of the night.

Oh, Brie. . . bad news.  Have you told that one on here before?  I feel like if you didn't, somebody else had a similar story.

Holy Crap Stackeye! Talk about chew and screw!!!  Did she ever ask family members why they left?  I would be so hurt!! 

Brie2010

I probably have.  Thank goodness the MOH was a doctor.  She was in really bad shape.

MeaghanandMichael

awww I almost feel really bad for her Stack.

Dani - are they still together?

The worst thing that happened to me personall was at a friend's wedding from highschool. Every one hated the bride (she sucked and our friend is such a nice guy) but we especially hated her because he dumped our best friend for the bride.

Anyway, I am in the bathroom with our best friend, and she was drunk out of her mind because she still had feelings for the groom. It was a total horror show. She started talking really loudly to me through the stall about how hot it was in bed with the groom and how the bride was such a biitch. Then she told me she couldn't get her tights up so I had to literally help her. The worst part? The mother of the bride and the bride's aunt were in the bathroom for the ENTIRE scene.

Stack, why did everybody leave?

ohwhynot

At my sister's wedding many, many years ago, the groom and two groomsmens' car either got a flat or quit running (I don't recall which) about 4 miles from the church.  On a very hot day, with little time to spare before the ceremony starts.  Cue large, beefy guys sweating into their tuxedoes as they jog the rest of the way, arriving at the church red-faced, disheveled, and pitted out to their waistbands.  (This was before cell phones, so they reallyl had no way of getting a lift, short of hitch-hiking, which apparently didn't occur to them).

I'm not sure why everyone left.  The grooms family usually only shows up to places where food is involved, so the fact that dinner was over kind of leads me to believe why his people left so fast.  As for the SIL's guests I'm not sure.  She is a very sweet, good hearted person, but she's also very spoiled and passive aggressively rude sometimes.  I think she invited a lot of people that didn't mean much to her.  She had 12 BM's and GM if that helps as to how out of control she is with people she "considers close".  One of the GM was my husbands friend who my husband didn't even ask to be a GM.  I think she was making a huge deal about her wedding but like people on E say - nobody cares about your wedding as much as you do. 

EDIT: and by 12 BM and GM I mean 12 on EACH side.  It was a spectacle, and a horse and carriage send off.  I think people rolled their eyes a lot during her wedding.

Holy crap, stack.

I was a BM 3 years ago at a ranch style wedding where the WP all stayed in a rustic lodge on-site the night of the wedding.  Great place after drinking and dancing, and you don't have to drive. 

Well pretty much everyone had gone to bed for the night- everyone except this other BM.  She had been seen earlier in the evening flirting it up with a GM.  I was not quite yet asleep when I started hearing moaning, loud moaning.  Another BM was awake too and started laughing.  I asked if she heard that too and we both were busting up.  BM had shacked up with GM inside the hall closet (large walk in) and apparently thought no one could hear her drunk @$$ getting it on. 

The next morning she had to do the walk of shame down the stairs when we are all in the living room staring at her and laughing.  Her response "$hit- I didn't know anyone was awake."  BOB responded, "well we weren't at first, but we ALL were after a few minutes, I even went out and had a cigarette for you."

At my first wedding this guy that was friends with my now-ex was not invited because he was a shithead troublemaker. He crashed our reception, brought along a 19-year girlfriend (he was well into his 30s) and sometime during the evening snuck upstairs to the ceremony room to have sex with her on the dais where we had just said our vows. Then he went and told a bunch of people they had done that, while still at the reception. No one told me that part until well after the wedding and stuff was all over. I was livid and banned him from our house.

Thank goodness I have nothing to do with those people anymore.

These make me feel not so bad about H being sick and out of commission, having to call the paramedics, and missing the last hour of my own reception.
