Re: Tackiest things you have seen at weddings
Oh man, these stories are too good.
At the wedding of one of my H.S. friends - V - her parents were recently divorced (as in, ink on the papers was barely dry). V's mother was having anxiety issues and was heavily medicated for the whole thing. My parents went up to her to say, "oh, this is such a great wedding, thanks so much for inviting us, can you believe the girls are all grown up, blah blah blah" and all she could talk about was how the wedding had better be beautiful after all the money they were spending on it and how she hadn't been out to dinner in months because she was paying for this wedding... awkward.
Meanwhile, V's dad insisted that since he was paying for part of the wedding, he should be allowed to bring his girlfriend (whom he had been dating for like, a week. V had never even met her). And then he was sexy-dancing with her on the dance floor. Dra-ma.
Good thing the groom's parents were these lovely, warm, wonderful people that gave everyone hugs even though we had just met them, and basically took over the "hosting parent" duties even though it was their first time in MI (they were from Australia).
I've seen quite a few. I'll separate by wedding:
1. The bride was escorted by a guy carrying a shotgun. Was she pregnant? No (thank goodness). It was a riverboat wedding, and they set it up so that the bride and groom left the altar area they would be able to go straight to the bar. The cake was a hula dancer sheet cake with cupcake boobs. Instead of the traditional feeding each other, they each bit a boob off the dancer.
2. The caterer was seen scraping the burned bits off of the chicken before serving it. Goldfish centerpieces- complete with drunken guests swallowing them. The brides father was outside asking anyone if they had a joint- the grooms father was the county judge.
3. Potluck wedding- again, on a riverboat. They paid for the boat and couldn't afford food. The groom wouldn't take off his baseball cap for the ceremony. The bride arrived 30 minutes late and hadn't started getting ready- not even showered. The bride carried the flower girl up the aisle because she didn't want to walk. The grooms family tried to steal the decorations before the wedding was over. The groom refused to shake hands with the brides uncle- because uncle wouldn't let him take pop out of a pre set kids cooler and put in beer.
4. Grandma brings grandson to wedding (she's in her late 40's, grandson is 15 months). Grandma gets drunk, leaves baby. Baby falls down stairs on to dance floor. Oh wait, that was my wedding.
