Tackiest things you have seen at weddings
What are some of the tackiest things you have seen at weddings or have gotten as wedding invitations?
I went to a wedding where they had margarita machines. Like full on display lights ones. It said slushee/margarita machine. They had 3 of them with really cheap tequilla.
Re: Tackiest things you have seen at weddings
Is it bad that DH and I would have been inordinately excited about this?
The tackiest thing I've ever seen at a wedding was when the bride's trampy cousin got completely hammered and was seen being pulled down off of a table after an attempt to dance on it. Oh wait, that was my wedding.
Haha that's what I'm thinking. Best. Wedding. EVER. :0)
not quite the same, but an acquaintance of mine RSVP'd to my SIL with +4. She, herself, was invited, and thought the whole family could tag along. What?! This was after she had told my SIL she understood not being a BM since she had dated the groom - 1) they were not friends and 2) the groom NEVER dated her.
DH and I keep our distance from this crazy chick
I could see how it could have been fun to have one. But they didn't have anything else to drink becides bud light. Whatever don't need drinks. But I wish they would have had one that was just slushees for the kids (they had 30+ kids / under age people at the wedding). I think I would have preferd a regular 7-11 machine...oh that would have been fun.

OMG! Hillarious!!!
Let's see. We went to one a few weeks ago where they ran out of everything except for pork and a mediterranean salad. They had a backyard pig roast so there was plenty of pig to go around. But by the time we made it through the line, they were out of BBQ sauce for the pork, falafel, schwarma, pasta salad, etc. I could have killed DH because I tried to get in line sooner and he insisted we wait for his friends so we could all get in line together.Like we needed to have a kumbaya in the buffet line or something. I was a very unhappy lady to say the least. And my shoes kept getting stuck in the grass. And then there was the port-a-potty that I frequented way too many times with little guy kicking my bladder.
And then there's trainwreck, aka BIL's fiance. Their wedding is sure to be a treat next February, if it even happens. I can't even begin to fathom the disaster that's going to be. There's her gypsy mother and step-siblings too many to count or name. They are not having DH or his sister in the wedding, let alone me and SIL's husband. Her MOH is DH's 16-year old cousin. Oy, my head hurts already.
ETA: Forgot a few goodies about tomorrow's "Detroit" wedding. (1) DH's grandpa plays his sax at EVERYONE's wedding. I mean ALL of his grandkids that have gotten married have had him play. Except for this one. The bride's psycho mother forbode it. He's 83 years old and not that good, but that's not the point. I've talked to him and he is really hurt by it. (2) Psycho mother also refused to invite the long-time boyfriend of one of DH's aunts. I mean, they've been dating for a little over two years now. This coming from the woman who cheated on her first husband with Matt's uncle, who she's now married to.
A tie between two cousins
1. Sister of the groom, drunk, dancing on a table with a limbo stick doing what you would imagine a drunk girl on a table would do with one, then the table toppled.
2. Groom got so drunk the night before the wedding that he was still drunk AT the wedding. The priest offered him the blood/wine and his wife said "no" for him. After the ceremony they went to a picture location (not the reception or ceremony location), and he vomited between each break for pictures.
For non alcohol related tackiness, a friend of a friend showed me wedding pictures. All of the posed shots had a line of porta-pots in the background.
Yum......
At my best friend's wedding (let's call her L), her FIL's speech was the most painful, inappropriate thing I've ever witnessed. He spent 15 minutes rambling on and on about his son (telling stories like when his son was constipated and they had to go to the ER, or duck hunting and describing how they'd "blow them up with huge guns"
). Then at one point he was like, "And I'm so excited to have L for a daughter in law, and will talk about her in a second", and then kept rambling on about his son and never brought up L again.
Everyone in attendance was really uncomfortable and my best friend was super embarrassed. I remember wishing someone would just grab this guy's notebook from him and sit him down. Or punch him. And he wasn't even drunk!
*sigh*
Dude, that is awesome! Seriously, I don't find that tacky at all.
I was at a wedding in which the best man proceeded to tell a story about how bad the bride's farts are. It was bad.

I was at a wedding where the best man's toast rambled a long time about how bad things were at work (he and groom worked together, apparently). This toast included the following line: "We tried to talk him out of getting married to her...". Yeah. Everyone at my table had this look
And then we quickly all looked down at the table, too embarrassed for everyone there.
My mom and dad went to a wedding where the bride was a few months preggo. He made mention how they (the married couple) went to Mexico as two and came back as three. At that point the bride's sister got up and took the mike away.
