The wedding season is upon us. That means it’s time to brush up on some wedding etiquette! After all, such an occasion is only as great as the guests who attend it, and you wouldn’t want to be the one souring someone’s big day.
We couldn't think of a better way to do this than by looking at real-life scenarios of what to absolutely avoid doing at this special celebration. Luckily for us, this online thread is full of them, serving as didactic stories for anyone planning to attend one. To find them, all you have to do is scroll down.

This was at my wedding. My cousin got lost on his way to the church and called his dad. My uncle answers his phone and starts yelling out directions, asking people what street the church was on ect.. in the middle of our vows. The minister stopped talking while my uncle gave directions without leaving his seat. Just sitting in the middle of the church yelling out directions. After the ceremony the minister said how rude my uncle was and he also performs funerals in case I wanted to k**l him.

Part of the vows. I don't remember the exact wording, but something about "I shall enter you in a way no man has, and after pulling out, a piece of me will remain inside you always".
Then, from the back of the church some one whispers loud enough for just about everyone to hear "Wait, what the f**k did he just say?".

In the middle of the reception a birthday cake was rolled out and some people started singing happy birthday (a lot of us had no idea whose birthday it was). The birthday cake was bigger than the wedding cake. Turns out it was the mother of the groom's birthday, but the bride had no idea this was going to happen.

I am not so cognizant about weddings, but if the reception is before the actual wedding, the bride had a change to think about whether she really wanted that man as her husband.
A survey looked into this deeper and found that the worst thing guests can do related to weddings is ignore an invitation. In second place is dressing casually, even though the code dress was formal, with 79% saying it’s inappropriate.
The next faux pas is wearing something that overshadows the couple, followed by getting too drunk. Regarding overindulging in bubbly, 74% think it’s rude, 19 believe it’s fine, and 7% remain neutral.

Wedding as a fundraiser for greedy bride.
The wedding was in a big Catholic Church. Undecorated. Boring ultra-religious ceremony.
But the reception was unforgettable in the worst way. It was an abandoned roller rink. When we all showed up, it was dark, and empty. All the wedding guests had to set up tables and chairs. Like a PTA meeting. Still no decorations.
The buffet was refried beans, rice, and tortillas. That’s it. No condiments. No drinks. Paper plates. No trash cans.
The bride and groom arrived 2 hours after everyone else (they went to Burger King, smoked a few bowls) and immediately started the Money Dance. The mom went around to each guest and shook a big black trash bag at us until we chipped in.
Then we were told to queue up to dance with the bride. This required “at least $5, but $20 was preferred.” The groom was drinking outside. They chose Rappers Delight because it’s a really long song so they could collect the most money.
They kept pressuring guests and relatives to dance then pushed them out of the way after 20 seconds for the next person.
When the song was over, the bride and her mom counted the money. The bride then grabbed a mic and said they they would be holding a *second* money dance because they were “so disappointed they only made $800.” They hoped for at least $2000.
They put on Rappers Delight again as I left.

Necessary background: My sister was abandoned at night on the side of the road when she was a few hours old. A Catholic priest found her, and our parents adopted her. When she was planning her wedding, she found the priest who had found her. He agreed to officiate her wedding. He asked her if she would let him tell her story during the ceremony and she said yes. So, day of the wedding. He’s telling this heartwarming story about how he found my sister. Then he says, But what if her mother had had an abortion instead?! He bellowed it and went off for several minutes on an anti-abortion rant. It was absolutely bizarre.

After my mum passed away my brothers & sisters & I all decided to go to mass, (don’t know why, I guess we were emotional & nostalgic.) We were brought up as Catholics but stopped going when we were teenagers. The priest started going on about abortion. It was awful, my sister stormed out in disgust then I left in tears a bit later because the choir reminded me of my mum. NEVER AGAIN

This kind of 'what if' is such BS. *If* the mother had had an abortion, no one would have been at that particular wedding and no one would know any different. The mother didn't have an abortion, and there are no 'what ifs' scenarios here. There's only what happened, which led to that particular wedding. What if doesn't matter; what did happen does.
Gabriele Alfredo Pini 1 year ago
Unfortunately there is a current between the priests that think that funerals and wedding are the good time to get people that normally don't go to mass. That they don't go to mass so that they don't have to ear such rants is something the priests don't understand.

When I was about 11, I went to my cousin's wedding and the reception was at her parents' house. A boy approximately 16 was following me around intently, staring, and eventually started talking to me. He was adamant that I meet him down in the barn. I eventually said ok to get him to get away from me, but then I saw him walking back up the field after quite some time. I kept looking for a hiding place and the only place I knew I would be safe from him was with my father. I was terrified of my father and hated him. He didn't look at me any differently than this boy was. But out of the two threats, one was immediate. He came back to the room where I was with my father and many others. He stood in the doorway, arms crossed, angrily staring at me. I looked at him, smiled and waved, then looked away. He stood there for a long time but I never looked his way again and did not move. I know what would have happened that day if I'd gone down to that barn and I'm so thankful I didn't.

Years ago I was a bridesmaid at a wedding with a drunk groomsman who was such an absolute pig. On our way to the reception we travelled together in one of the classic cars they had hired, and he was already way too drunk for that point of the night and making such disgusting and objectifying comments about various women at the ceremony he wanted to hook up with. The driver of the car (a big burly rough-looking guy) eventually said to him "you keep speaking like that in front of this young lady, I'll put you on the side of this f'ing highway and you can walk the rest of the way". It shut him up. The driver was my personal hero that night.

The couple next to us - we knew them and had socialised with them before - took their newish born to the ceremony with them. Halfway through, it starts making noise, like babies do.
Instead of taking it outside like normal people, they pull out a phone and start playing Peppa Pig. With the volume on. Loud.

TLDR - my aunt brought up my dead grandfather at a wedding after being asked not to and made like 20 people cry. Some of which had to leave the room —— Not really inappropriate, but my aunt brought up my grandfathers extremely sudden death at my male cousins wedding. My grandfather had had a stroke, and was extremely close with pretty much everyone at the wedding. Out of worry for everyone else, my cousins wife asked my aunt (his mom) to not bring up my grandfather because mentioning him and things like how he’s not here or how he’s “watching from heaven” could upset to many people, especially my grandmother and my mom who were also attending the wedding) Well my aunt got up there and brought him up anyway. And it wasn’t in a nonchalant nice way either. She got up to the podium and glared right at my cousins wife and snapped “*SOME PEOPLE* don’t want me to say anything,” and then proceeded to talk about how my grandfather is watching the wedding from “heaven” and how he should be here That made my grandmother start crying. My mom started after her. My little brother (10 years old) started crying because he noticed my mom and grandmother were upset. Then a bunch more other people *also* started crying because they started thinking about him as well. A few people had to leave the room.

I go to a wedding - it's my new boyfriend's family so I know nobody. It's a Baptist wedding. The preacher gets a section where he gives his own mini sermon. In that sermon, he pulled out issues from their required counseling sessions with said preacher. Preacher is saying (names are fake )"Now Jody, you are going to have to let Craig wear the pants in the family. You are opinionated but he needs to lead." Add in more stuff about the husband but it was mostly about her. The husband was hanging his head. The wife looked like she was gonna kill him. I was at the back of the church and I was still tempted to run up and knock that Bible out of his hand to break up that dumpster fire. And because it was a Baptist wedding, there was no booze at the reception. 0/10.

I was a groomsman at a wedding taking place in a Catholic cathedral. During the practice session, the groom and best man had to kneel in front of the priest. I thought I didn't hear this right, but the priest said "(groom's name) and (best man's name) kneeling in front of me, my heart be still!" while putting his hand to his chest. I mentioned this to the bride later (after the wedding), who said "father (his name) is abstinent, but abstinent from what is anyone's guess.".

There are plenty of moment in a catholic mass when the most devoust attendants kneel. And it depends mostly on the mood of that particular church / priest. From mostly no one kneeling in my laid back dinosaurs friendly church when i was kid. To most people kneeling in a weeding mass in a Cathedral. You can have a blessing ceremony or a full mass if your wedding happens in a catholic church. If you go for a mass, you follow the priest instructions. Mind you, if the wedding happens in a Cathedral, this is not a simple priest, it is a bishop. It is highly unlikely to get a wedding in a cathedral without being an avid church goer, member of the choir, organ player or something.
Kimberly Gibbs 1 year ago
What's your point? The issue isn't about the kneeling as was instructed, it is about the improper s e x u a l innuendo that was the statement from the priest. I dunno know though, maybe weeding ceremonies are different. lol.

Not really inappropriate, but just goddamn sad. Roughly 35 people from the bride's side of the family RSVP'd, as well as a group of around 10 "friends". Only 4 people of the entire bride's side showed. Her side of the ceremony's seating was a ghost town. I was so sad and angry for her.

Another behavior I find to be attention seeking at weddings is how some of the guests go to them just as an opportunity for them to wear flamboyant clothing and take a million photos to post online. Then they go online and post photos of themselves with a vague congratulations caption to the bride and groom.

One of the bridesmaids over served herself at my wedding reception and passed out. One of the other bridesmaid’s father, family friend of my wife and a big guy, helpfully volunteers to carry her to a car so her friend can take her home. He holds her in a fireman’s carry all the way from the head table past the entire group of 200 guests. She was not wearing underwear. She and my wife did not speak for about three years after that.

Is it possible that no one noticed she was in the buff until it was too late to do anything (such as being close to the exit)? Or that some who did notice hoped no one else noticed and didn't want to call any more attention to the sad situation? The story as written doesn't answer those types of questions and is too vague to berate everyone present as if they all saw and did nothing.

After the wedding, while the couple got into the limo to head over to the reception across town, the grooms ex shows up in a truck and (gently) rams the limo. She jumps out of the truck, clearly drunk, and proceeds to yell at the bride and groom. Everyone is watching- the grooms family members usher all the guests away and send us to the reception. We waited on the bride and groom for about 2 hours with an open bar. They eventually arrived but the celebration was clearly deflated from that point on. It was a co-worker and I left the company a few weeks later. No idea how the marriage turned out.

Bride’s father thought the day was about him. Kept interrupting everything to make speeches, but the best part was him presenting his gift to the couple. He wrote and recited some cringe s**t poem about love that sounded like it was written by a twelve year old, but he didn’t stop there. He had it transcribed in calligraphy and mounted in a huge 2x4 ft frame. The topper was that he also made a stack of copies for everyone to take home. No I didn’t take one.

Uhm... I guess you should learn history and Latin yourself... the whole lyrics is the Ave Maria prayer from the Romans lithurgia.

When my wife and I were dating we did the music for a very small wedding in this little church out in the country for a co-worker of hers. Woman wanted to walk down the aisle to Little White Church, which is basically a song that talks about a girl who won't do anything else until her man takes her to a little white church and marries her. They'd been living together for a decade and the wedding was a formality and probably an excuse to have a reception and party. However, at the reception my wife and I were excited to dance and were the *only* couple to take the floor. Everyone else wasn't even in the building, they went out and drank on their trucks in the parking lot. At one point the DJ and his wife danced alongside us since it was so wide open. Not inappropriate but pretty awkward. We had a good time together at least. When we left, everyone gave us a cheer and raised their bottles as if we did something crazy by dancing at the reception.
