Embarrassing wedding moments?

Have you ever been to a wedding and did something so embarrassing, or witness something embarrassing happen? I was just thinking about the time that my dear best friend invited me to a former classmates wedding a few years ago. I was not really friends with the bride, but I went along anyway cause my BF needed a date. (He was in the closet at the time and wanted arm candy, lol!) Anyway, He comes to pick me up, and tells me that not only was I coming, but another former classmate was coming as well with her date, and that we were all showing up together. Ok, didn't think too much into it, I figured this girl had her own invite. So, we show up, and sure enough, they are starting dinner. The bride FREAKED OUT that he brought 3 extra people when he wasn't even given, nor did he RSVP, for a plus 1! This girl and all her friends were talking sooo muchhh shiiiizzzzz to us. We basically got kicked out, but were welcomed to come back in a couple of hours, after open bar was over and dancing was going on. I told him we would not be coming back. So aweful!

    More from the tackiest wedding ever: I was there as the MUA and a friend/plus-one of the one BM who was not the bride's sister. This friend I have known for years, and although she has changed a lot in more recent years (therapy and many stern talking to's), at this point, she could be the queen of passive-aggressive ass-hattery. And also, kind of a cvnt (it's appropriate in this circumstance).

    So, we all came into the church rec room/reception area, were given no food or drink, yadda yadda. She gets done with her pictures, and I have some excellent ones of her with a great pissed-off-standing-in-90-degree-heat-in-a-medieval-style-all-polyester-BM-dress look on her face, and comes inside. At this point, we are still not allowed to eat or drink. She gets even pissier, and then goes and changes into the yoga pants and T-shirt that she came to the church in. Everyone else there is in pretty nice wedding clothes. It was the tackiest wedding ever, but there was really no need for that. I'm with her, so I feel totally embarrassed, and like I should have been able to stop her. She then starts talking about the tackiness while still at the wedding. Urrgh. SO embarrassing. She's gotten better, and apologized for it, but thinking about her behavior that day just makes me cringe for myself and for her.

    Well, this was not fun embarrassing, but it was definitely embarrassing none the less.

    FI and I had a big fight at a wedding last August.  He was drunk and being really inconsiderate, and he has since realized that he has an unhealthy relationship with alcohol and no longer drinks hard liquor.  He tends to hit tipsy and then rather than slow down, speed up straight to belligerent drunk.

    Anyway, big fight in the courtyard which several people overheard, then I went to the bathroom to dry my tears, where the bride was (this was also a wedding of only like 35 people, mind you) so she tried to console me.  I told her we had a silly fight and I was just being emotional, as I didn't want to stress her out.  So the bride went and confronted FI and told him he was being a jerk, making me cry.  Everyone at the wedding watched as she berated FI, who was standing there like a stone statue. 

    I fixed my makeup, tried to put on a happy face, and said goodbye to everyone, saying I wasn't feeling well, and walked the mile back to the hotel since FI was the one with cab fare.  He crashed in the groomsmen's room and didn't come back to the hotel until the next morning. Apparently it was the conversation of the night.  I was mortified! 

    To be honest, several of these people are invited to our wedding and that was the only example they have of us as a couple and it's just really embarrassing. I hope they realize that we're really a lot better than that - that was honestly the worst night of our relationship!

    DH and I went to the wedding of one of his co-workers this past April.  Unfortunately it was the day here in NC that we had those horrible tornadoes (but more on that in a sec).  The groom is kind of weird to begin with.  Very little personality and I think he was bullied so much as a kid that he now assumes that everyone is still picking on him and really can't take a joke.  I'm not exactly sure what the bride's family thought of him, but when the bride's dad walked her up the isle, the dad just sort of "dropped her off."  He didn't acknowledge the groom AT ALL.  Just kissed his daughter and walked off to his seat.  It was so obvious and uncomfortable. 

    Then at the reception, the storm starts and the power goes out- the DJ's equipment wouldn't work, so they brought in a tiny "boom box" and ran an iPod off that.  The room was full of windows, so we had plenty of light, so that wasn't an issue.  The photographer they hired (just someone who worked with the groom who had photography as a hobby) kept yelling at anyone who tried to take their own pics of the couple.  (And not just during his "formal" sessions- which I would understand, but at ANY point during the event).  He was complaining that he wouldn't make any money because guests were supposed to buy any pics they wanted from him.  The groom spent the entire reception sitting in a chair in the corner of the room playing on his phone.  The bride's dad was walking around to the tables and when he got to ours, he goes "Would you all like some cake?"  My husband smiled, and was like "Sure."  Apparently this was the wrong answer because the dad yelled at the whole table "What?!  Do you expect me to SERVE it to you?!" 

    We seriously could not get out of that wedding fast enough.  We never even received a Thank You card from them for our gift either.

    I walked in on our Best Best and his girlfriend the morning after the wedding. That was really embarrassing, but in my defense they asked me for a wake up call/visit.

    My sister got really wasted at our Cousin's wedding. (First outing post baby) Her being wasted + bad fitting dress = Flash. The worse part was the photographer got her boobs in the candid shots. I was there when my cousin was going through pictures, he screamed when he got to that picture. I got a double shot of embarrassment for her with that one.

    LOL  My husband kept trying to put the ring on my right hand and I think I actually had to completely pull it away and say something to him before he got it right.  I think it threw him off that I had my e-ring on my right hand.

    I am so paranoid about putting the ring on the wrong hand/tripping in my heels/spilling red wine on my white dress... but I am not scared enough for the last one to NOT drink red wine at our wedding ;)

    I just don't think the wrong hand is a big deal. Do I have such low expectations that I just assume one of us will make that mistake?

    My Mom's cousin married the sweetest man who was so in love with her, and it was so obvious.... Because he sobbed so much from the moment that she started walking down the aisle that they had to pause the ceremony several times for him to pull it together! It took him 4 attempts to get through his vows!
