Weddings are one of the most important celebrations in people's lives, and many want to partake in such a ceremony. However, having a lot of drunk relatives, crazy friends, and other people all in one place is a recipe for disaster or at least some weirdness.
This Ask Pandas thread was dedicated to weird experiences people had at weddings, and even though not many shared, some people delivered an answer and a half!

My mom was a minister and I saw plenty of weird stuff. My favorite was when the bride and groom found out they were half siblings when her dad and his mom showed up for the wedding. Dad had been an 22 year old alcoholic and fled across the country when he found out she was pregnant.

actually there's many telenovelas that involve forbidden couples because they're siblings / half siblings, but I don't remember if anyone found out the day of the wedding lol

I'm too lazy to Google the exact info but, and don't quote me, I remember vaguely an article that said there is an attraction that siblings/half siblings that have never met or didn't grow up together have for each other. This is not the first time something similar has happened. (Maybe I'll look that up again when I'm feeling less lazy 🤔)

Well, wedding reception. Happened on a farm and everything was going okay until… HUGE gust of wind…BLACK clouds and without warning BUCKETS of rain ! All the glasses flew off the table and the most epic storm blew the canopy off and the rain flooded the muddy dance floor area. The older folk were escorted out on a tractor and the younger people were left to dance in their best wedding clothes in the rain-I’m not going to lie it was amazing

Storms can be amazing. I saw Seal at Jones Beach way back when. It was a warm summer night, the winds kicked up something fierce and then the lightning storm happened. It was the most amazing light show to accompany the music and to this day, that's the best concert I've ever seen because of it. When Seal sang "Bring it on" and then the lightning crashed, everyone went wild. I so wish I could relive that night.

I guess because she could. She was a sloppy, overweight, middle aged woman with sagging tattoos everywhere. But my dad is a boob man, I guess, and I think that's all he saw since they were right in his face in full display. I was really disgusted and mad that she'd do that. It was so disrespectful. I felt so bad for my mom.

That a little werid. And I do not think that is cool. Like so much awkwardness to a lot of people. Plus his wife. An who would let someone do that at a there wedding. I would have went home........like it would been to much for me. Cause I know that lady was mad. And that girl had issues. And the boyfriend was probably mad.

Actually getting married. Nothing went wrong, no one got drunk or started any fights, nothing like that. But it was such a strange headspace. I get why there's so much attention paid to the ceremony: it makes you look at yourself as someone different. It probably helped that it was a small affair - and I think the focus in modern weddings needs to be removed from all the glitz and glamour and returned to the ceremony itself, not the pageantry.

We had a moment after our ceremony when we got whisked off to the bar for a couple of minutes breather, and I knew if the day just ended there, I would have still been as happy. We had a perfect day and we would happily do it again, but after finally marrying my best friend, everything else felt insignificant.

My wife and I married with only a few people attending (by our choice) and not in the church (atheists). One of the best days of my life. F**k all those rituals. You don't need an expensive engagement ring, or a fancy dress that you'll wear only once. A wedding should be for the two people getting married, and not a stressful day for them (wich in most cases it is)

My favourite part of my wedding day was the ceremony. My husband was so nervous, I was quietly reassuring him all the way through. He hates standing up in front of people and speaking. He did do a speech but we didn't have a first dance as he hates dancing and it would have been in front of everyone. I didn't mind at all I just wanted to marry him. After 8 years married I am now 40 and were expecting our first, and most likely only, baby.

I had originally planned to have a big wedding because I thought that was what was expected of me. My mom took me to a big bridal expo in town to get ideas and I had a full blown panic attack. The minute I realized all eyes were going to be on me, I quickly changed my mind and had a very small, immediate family only wedding in Hawaii and never regretted it :)

For me it was when we were taking pictures. We had one where my to-be-husband and I were placed on either side of a door to capture a picture of us both "together" without breaking the "don't see the bride" rule. We reached around to hold hands and I remember he said he could feel me shaking. Nothing about it seemed real until it was happening and then it was a whole lot but I'm still happy with everything (eight years later)

I have an uncle (married into the family, not blood related), and a different uncle's best friend, who LOVED to make jokes the entire time I grew up about how when I grew up, they wanted me to marry THEM. I never took it seriously and neither did anybody else. I didn't realize until growing up how weird that might sound to outsiders. The uncle that made such a joke kept it up until his wife, my aunt, died. He was a jovial type but he didn't have the heart for that joke anymore, because, I suspect, I resemble her too closely for comfort. He misses her still. The friend? He's long since passed, but he was a good guy and I do miss him. Neither ever did anything inappropriate to me. They just liked to horse around. The above story, on the other hand....

I did wedding videography for a while. My second shooter was at the ceremony, called me and said everyone’s been sitting and waiting for half an hour for the bride to come up the aisle. She wasn’t even in her dress yet, and she kept snapping at her mother who was nicely trying to help her. She then had a meltdown after the ceremony because the violinist couldn’t walk up the aisle as she needed to read the sheet music. They overstuffed a tiny venue(fire safety hazard), I was standing over a man eating just to do my job. At the cake cutting, they were really out of sync, she was trying to tease him by pulling the camer away from him when he tried to bite it, then putting it on his face when he went to bite it again. He look uncomfortable and embarrassed. I learned later that she was super controlling and abusive to him and they split. I’m glad to be honest, he seemed genuinely nice.

My hubby's family pushed for this tradition. My husband and I settled for me putting a fresh garter on over my pantyhose right before he was supposed to take it off and throw it. Even knowing it was a clean item that barely touched me, we were uncomfortable. We also insisted that the man who caught it and the woman who caught the bouquet only had to have a photo taken together. Looking back, I wish that no garter had ever been bought to begin with.

Not a wedding, but the wedding rehearsal the night before. I wasn't in the wedding but my significant other was. The bride went thru the entire wedding, and when I say the entire wedding... every single detail. Multiple verses of each song. It took an hour. She didn't think it went well enough, so they did the entire thing over again. Side note, the maid of honor was not there for the 1st two rehearsals, but she arrived when they just completed the 2nd rehearsal... so the bride had everyone go thru the ENTIRE WEDDING for a 3rd time. By the time that we finished and all drove to the restaurant that was serving the rehearsal dinner, they were closing up and had already packed up all the food for our dinner.

Why do you need to rehearse a wedding? This is very odd! I've never come across it in the UK.
Tim Pillinger 4 years ago
Churches often do it so that people know what will actually happen, rather than what they expect from movies. Also, older buildings in the UK have oddities, and brides like not tripping over that weird gravestone which sticks out, and often need to know how to pace themselves to the wedding music.

We had a rehearsal at the church. Just practice walking for bridesmaids and groomsmen, who stands where, quick run through of the ceremony. Make sure things are set up and decorated. Also it is a tradition in that part of the USA for the bride to keep all the ribbons and bows off her bridal shower presents, and then they’re turned into a big bouquet to hold at the rehearsal. Did anyone else do that?

It's very common to have a person out of guests at each table who will make sure everyone has enough to drink. That person is ceremonially 'crowned' with a whistle they can use to invite everyone to drink. At one wedding a musician/host told me (speaking to the mic, of course) that women can't have this role, only men are capable of doing it, and I can only be a secretary. (Seriously, a woman can't pour a drink?) More sexist remarks as 'jokes' followed but I can't recall them. When you think about it, it's not that weird, just extremely uncomfortable and sad.

Our wedding has about 130 guests, mostly my wife's family, in my wife's hometown church. Very nice but some aspects were pretty informal, including the music - I had burned what music we wanted onto a CD and coached someone on when to play what track. When the moment came for our "exit" music (immediately after our vows and completion of the ceremony), we turned around to face everyone and waited for the tune to start playing before we walked down the aisle and out the church - the music. was. not. playing. We waited. And waited. And if you've ever been in a moment like that, seconds feel like hours. Finally I took the first step to lead us outta there and thankfully the music started playing right then. But those few moments of staring at everybody and everyone wondering what we were waiting for were awkward af!! Fun to talk about now though.

A doughnut board.
Though this is becoming a fashionable wedding trend, it still is not the best idea. During both a summer AND a winter wedding, the inclement weather (heat in the summer, and misty rain in the winter) made the doughnut board drip. Glaze got everywhere, and doughnuts stuck to the pegs on the board.
Though they may add a "cute"/"Pinterest" look to the wedding, they are not very useful to have in the long-run.

Okay, so I have these 2 aunts, Chelsea and Crystal. Chelsea is a super nice aunt that has been through a couple of marriages now, but this was her first marriage. She is one of my favorite aunts. Crystal is kind of a Karen, she is a Karen and a hoarder and I don't know why my uncle married her in the first place. Crystal's parents are also super-rich and live in a giant mansion with a giant backyard. They are also hoarders and Karens. I was not born at this time, however, I have heard many stories about it. So, Chelsea was dating this guy Danny. They got engaged and were super excited, however, Crystal also got engaged to my uncle Nathaniel. Chelsea planned her wedding and sent out invitations. It was planned for mid-summer. Crystal and Nathaniel had not planned their wedding yet. Crystal was and still is an attention seeker. When someone else is getting a lot of attention, Crystal has to ruin it. The same thing happened on Chelsea's wedding day. Crystal planned for her wedding to be TWO DAYS AFTER CHELSEA'S WEDDING! They sent out invitations and I'm sure my family was well confused. Two days didn't even give Chelsea time to have a honeymoon or relax after her big day. No Crystal made it into her big WEEK. So Chelsea has a lovely wedding, it is beautiful and amazing. But then 2 days later, it is Crystal's wedding day. They get married in the temple, and the reception is in Crystal's parent's backyard. From what I hear, their backyard is now trashed, not only because of the wedding but also because THEY ARE FRICKING HOARDERS! >:( Okay, not cool Crystal, we know you want attention. But really? 2 days later? Your parent's -trashed- backyard? You know, I give up. oof
Oh, and I am sure Crystal and Nathaniel had a lovely honeymoon without any distractions.

Yes, Chelsea should have just said “too bad I will miss it, I will be on my honeymoon.” As for “ I don't know why my uncle married her in the first place”, the answer is in the next sentence - “Crystal's parents are also super-rich and live in a giant mansion with a giant backyard”.

Years ago, my oldest brother got engaged and started planning his wedding for mid June of the next year. My other brother then immediately got engaged and they set their wedding date for exactly one week BEFORE oldest brother's wedding. This wasn't a case of not realizing what they were doing and because younger brother is a belligerent a*s, nobody called him out. To me, it's obvious he was just trying to steal the thunder even though the relationship between my two brothers had always been good. Just a rotten thing to do.

I had something similar, although with much less drama. My ex and I set our date, when it was two years away (it's tough to schedule around medical school). My first cousin set her wedding date for one week after mine. We couldn't go because we were on our honeymoon (again no flexibility). Their wedding was fancier, but everyone said that it suffered because it was so close on the heels of mine. It didn't bother me (much) because at least it was after mine.

At my cousin's wedding years ago, once her pastor had finished with the whole "you may kiss the bride" and all, he immediately launched into a sermon before she and her husband could even sit down about how if all of us didn't accept God NOW then we were all going to Hell and we'd burn in an eternity of fire and brimstone, and he'd pray for our damned souls. My cousin was so mortified. Also I don't remember what he said exactly (it was a long time ago), but I remember he made my mom furious because he essentially said my recently passed sister was in Hell--he didn't name her or anything, but he implied people like her didn't go to Heaven. Who tf does that at a *wedding*?

I was at a wedding once where the brother of the bride gave a speech. He cried about being a bad brother and then went on to talk about all his sister's ex boyfriends.

for my family, weddings are a big family reunion, and there is ALWAYS a dance, which the older cousins and aunts try and get all the younger cousins to dance as well. (which is fine, but i was like 13 at the most recent one and i didn't like that very much) the rest of the aunts and uncles and older cousins try and talk but it is always SO. LOUD. and like, i get that the people getting married are young and like that kind of stuff, but it would be nice if the music wasn't deafening.

At a friends wedding. It was nice simple ceremony in their yard. It was non religious but they had a friend who was a minister and who was obviously not happy about it and had pressured them to have it in a church. As a small concession, they had him say grace as we were about to eat. The guy put on a 15 minute sermon and it was not appropriate. If I had to point to the time when I completely gave up on religion that was it.

The craziest wedding I went to was of a business partner. The whole company was invited, so about 50 people or so were colleagues. One bridesmaid was giving her colleague a lap-dance in full view of both their spouses. Right after things seem to have calmed, a different husband started a fight with his wife's colleagues after a drinking game gone sideways. It turned into something of a brawl. The police wasn't involved thankfully. The company paid for damages (some furniture and silverware were tossed around). I met up with the bride the next week for some business but nothing got discussed other than the craziness of it all.

My wife's side of the family has a tradition of messing with the newly wed couple's car/ hotel room, like fill the car with confetti, write all over the windows, sometimes ruin the paint job, crash the hotel room. They think it is funny. I do not. My wife is kind and warned me about this tradition so we did what we could to take precautions, I had my best man hide our car at a nearby park during the reception, tried to not let anyone in the extended family know the address of our new apartment, etc. Almost got away with it but mother in law got pressured into playing along and showed the cousins and uncles where the apartment was. Mother in law regretted going along with it when she saw how far they took things. When we finally returned home late that night, there were Oreos plastered on the windows, lots of writing in grease paint all over, some of which was crude humor, and to top it off, they placed a thrown out dirty couch and trash bags in front of the front door.

I went to a wedding with my boyfriend, his friends. The bride and groom danced to Me and Mrs. Jones. Their last name was not Jones, besides being a song about cheating.
