s/o Wedding drama at other weddings
What have you seen happen at other weddings that was noteworthy?
I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball
Re: s/o Wedding drama at other weddings
Um. The FOB and Brother of Bride got into a fist fight on the dance floor.
Bride lost her dad to a heart attack and did not want DH to do a mother/son dance because she would feel very left out. She communicated this to both DH and MIL. They did one anyway. It took 6 of us to calm her and her mother down.
MOG flew off the handle at bride because bride wanted her to walk down the ailse with FOG. MOG refused and began pouting. I sent one of the BMs down the aisle to tell MOG it was time to come walk down the aisle so she could be honored. The MOG marched down the ailse and in front of everyone, got up in the bride's face and screamed, "I am his MOTHER. I am not a POS you stupid B---- F---- You!" and marched back down the ailse. Everyone heard. The poor bride was horrified.
Oh goodness! Ha ha ha. Too much.
I went to a wedding two years ago where the whole bridal party got sloppy drunk. It was in CT at a lovely country club, and the MOH was throwing up in the pond. The bus that was supposed to transport everyone back to the hotel never showed up. I was one of maybe three sober guests. My FIL had actually driven to the country club, and then had asked me if I minded driving back to the hotel instead of him since I wasn't planning on drinking....but I ended up having to make SEVERAL trips back and forth to cart all these drunk people back to the hotel. I was piling them in to my FIL's brand new Lexus SUV with people hanging out the window. On the last ride back this ridiculous BM was hitting on all the guys in the car talking soooooo DIRTY. It was so awful.
I am LMAO at this. LOL
I don't blush easily. As someone who has worked in an industry dominated by men it takes a lot to make me feel uncomfortable! Ha ha ha.
I used to be a day-of coordinator and have been a BM a ton of times so I've seen the inner workings of my fair share of weddings. Still, these are probably pretty tame:
1) I had to practically yell at a bride's dad to go get dressed because we were going down to the ceremony shortly and he was still dragging his feet about going back to his own room to get ready.
2) I had to kick some tourists out of the church once. They were sitting in the last pew and clearly didn't belong but wanted to just hang out and watch the ceremony.
3) A groom got completely sh!tfaced at his reception and yet his wife gave him a mic to do a thank you speech. He was slumped down in a chair while she stood behind him feeding him lines that he slurringly repeated into the mic.
4) DJ screwed up the bride's name while announcing the couple into the reception, despite the fact that she was told multiple times that bride was not taking groom's last name.
5) In a drunken bid to get the bride to kiss a couple of girls at the reception, the groom accepted a dare to first kiss one of the guys. Boys are so stupid.
6) A bird pooped across the front of the skirt of bride's dress while they were taking pictures before the ceremony.
7) Caterers ran out of food for the buffet dinner and started putting out random things they could find in the kitchen.
8) Cake people left without assembling the tiered wedding cake. We were left to oh-so-carefully try to plop one layer on top of the other. I'm not going to lie, we definitely smooshed some of that icing.
9) A DJ played BBD's Poison at the reception (as in "That girl is poison..."). That would be my wedding. Guess I should have put that on the Do Not Play list
10) Someone messed up the table count for a Chinese banquet reception and we were short one whole table (never mind 10 courses to feed that table).
That's all I can remember right now.
You have got some seriously jaw-dropping stories, Punky!
It's nothing compared to all of Punky's stories in this post and the other one (I just read about FIL allegedly grabbing her sister's @ss). Punky definitely takes the dubious crown for Craziest Wedding Stories so far!
A lot of these made me LOL.
I am surrounded by drama. Constantly. It gets so exhausting and annoying.
If my sister was in fact telling the truth, I have to point out that she does have a very grabb-able ass. LOL.
Not that this excuses it. Ew.
But still.
These wedding posts are seriously making my day!
Mine too! LOL
Great stories, everyone. Mine's not really drama but it takes place at a wedding.
I had been dating my H less than a year when SIL got married. H is a junior, for example we'll use Jim. So growing up, his dad was Jim and he was Jimmy. When he went to college he decided Jimmy didn't sound adult enough and started going by Jim, so that's how I knew him, even though his whole family still called him Jimmy. So, I was at the church before the wedding by myself since H was in the wedding party. I ended up sitting next to his mom's family (his parents are divorced) and introduced myself as "Jim's girlfriend". Everyone's eyes bugged out and all they could say was "OH! Nice to meet you." I didn't realize what I had done until after H waved at me on his way out of the church after the ceremony and I saw the lightbulbs go off over everyone's heads and they looked relieved. I can't even imagine what they must have been thinking for that hour in between.
LOL, bostonbaker, they must have been like, "DAMN! She doesn't mind just putting it all out there!"
hilarious!
That's hilarious, bostonbaker. My husband is also a Jr. - his parents/family all call him AJ, but I always call him Alan, which is what his father goes by. I have to remember to call him AJ when we're around his family.
And Punky, your stories are uh.mazing. Seriously.
The worst other people drama I ever saw was at a wedding for a girl I was friends with in college. They got married three months after we graduated, so they were pretty young- 22 and 23. The groom got WASTED, to the point where he could barely stand up. They got into a huge argument in the middle of the reception after he smashed cake all over her - her face, her dress, everywhere. And then she stormed off. He took off after her, and they were gone like 20 minutes. Then they came back and did the bouquet/garter toss, and he totally dove headfirst under her dress and stayed under the for a few seconds too long as a joke. Apparently, they thought this was hilarious. I was a little mortified, considering their grandparents were there.
Punky, who the heck are these people whose weddings you witness these things? And I meant to mention in your other thread that your ILs are BSC.
Even though everyone else has much better stories...
At my sister's wedding her engaged friend (whose FI couldn't be there) ended up making out with SIL's cousin on the dancefloor, and proceeded to go back to his room with him. My sister says they did the dirty and never told her FI.
Same wedding: the night of the rehearsal, a friend who had flown in from NYC went home with someone from the hotel bar (she's straight and went home with a girl- perhaps she was just super excited about going to a lesbian wedding? haha), had sex with the girl (thus missing the rehearsal dinner), then had sex with my cousin the night of the wedding... With multiple other people in the room.
Apparently the moral of the story is that my sister's friends are skanky?
I'm going weddings in October and December, and I think the December wedding has a lot of big drinkers and lots of family drama, so it might be exciting haha
I love skanky stories like these! Ha ha ha.
Wow, I guess people really do hook up at weddings!
You'll have to come back and report more good stories at the end of the year, haha!
None of the single people at our wedding went home solo. As did two people who are married to other people (their spouses weren't there).
