Your wedding is supposed to be the perfect day. One that revolves entirely around you and the person you chose to spend the rest of your life with. But there's always a chance that something can cloud it. And I'm not talking about just condensed water in the sky.

Recently, Reddit user VeryVeryGeneric asked other platform users to share what was the worst part of their ceremony, and many agreed: as of this publication, the post has received over 1,100 comments, containing a lot of juicy stories that, for better or worse, they will probably never forget. Here are some of them.

#1

Mine’s actually funny! I would say it was the “worst” thing that happened but it really wasn’t that bad. We got married in a big open field under an apple tree. My uncle walked me down the aisle and we started from pretty far away, so there was a lot of open field before coming to the aisle and where the seats were. We start walking and I suddenly realize that there are crickets. EVERYWHERE in the grass. And the motion of my skirt on the grass is making them jump right onto/into it. I had several layers of English net and so I had some in between the layers crawling up toward my bodice. Thankfully I had a waist seam so they couldn’t get past that point. I had probably close to twenty in my train and ended up with one in my hair as well. My uncle and I were trying not to crack up. He just kept saying “just keep waking, it’s FINE” as I was shaking my skirt trying to walk at the same time. My bridesmaids spent a few minutes getting the crickets out of my skirt once we got down the aisle and everyone was laughing including me and my husband. They say crickets are good luck, so that’s a plus! Married two years this August.

    40 Wedding Horror Stories That Go From Bad To Yikes Oh boy. Had a small wedding in the colorado Rockies. This one couple did all of the below: -brought their 7 month old without asking -drove from Texas and expected to stay with us in our home at Denver before traveling to the mountains (Estes park, about 1.5 hours away) -they did stay with us (husband is too nice). They criticized our house (too small, walls paper thin) - thought they could do the wedding in a day trip from our house, did not buy hotel room. My parents had an extra one that the guys were getting ready in and gave them it. Stanley hotel, $800. They didn’t offer to pay or say thanks they actually asked my dad for his credit card for incidentals - woman wore white to the wedding - man forgot to buy groomsmen vest. Had to go to mall day before wedding to improvise -baby cried during service and wedding coordinator had to escort them out - rented a cabin for the weekend for the wedding party. Lots of partying and drinking. They brought the baby without asking us and then got mad/ turned off lights when we were too loud (we paid for it btw, about 400$ per person) -man kept knocking on our door ON OUR WEDDING NIGHT as we were having sex asking if we saw his keys - they didn’t buy us a gift Oh. And I found out later that the man’s mom offered to fly to colorado from Texas to babysit the baby while they were at the wedding/ cabin and they declined.

    It's logical (to me) that you'd bring a child under the age of 1. You are (probably) still breastfeeding and baby needs you to be near. I get that. But! 1) you still ask the ppl getting married if it's OK you bring your kid. And 2) if the child gets upset/in any way noisy at a bad time (during ceremony or speeches or whatever) you leave the room with the baby. Simple as that!

    40 Wedding Horror Stories That Go From Bad To Yikes My son (the ring bearer) and his dad got in a wreck on the way to the venue. NOT what I wanted to hear as I was getting 33575789 hairpins installed for my fancy updo! The stylist overheard that conversation and brought me some wine. Kid and Dad were fine, other drivers were fine, they were only a little late, and everything else went off without a hitch. But DAMN. "Your son got in a car wreck" completely snapped me back to reality. The wedding is just fluff; family and marriage are serious commitments that are worth making and keeping.

    I like that one best - not the accident part, of course, as it's super stressful and all...but that sentence that "the wedding is just fluff". Someone wears white on your wedding? Someone made a scene? Not everything goes up to plan? It's just fluff. It's your day, absolutely - but because you just made a family, started your own story - not because you had a party. I love it :)

    It's a power move. It's the person you love hearing your boundaries, and going "Nah." It's someone who expects you to trust them while humiliating you. It's someone who is training you to have your emotions and needs messed with by them. I knew my mother's 3rd husband was trash anyway, but as soon as he smashed chocolate cake all over her face and wedding dress, it clinched it. Watching her have to force smiles and "not make a scene" as a result of his abuse was the perfect metaphor for crappy marriages everywhere. If you say "No smashing cake" and your new spouse smashes cake, chances are you are not going to have a particularly happy marriage.

    From further down the comment thread: "I was 17. He was two years and change older than me. I was under pressure due to his cult, and my mother was happy to oblige signing off on it since being mother of the bride meant she got to indulge in her constant delusion that she's the center of the universe."[...] The cult was 7th Day Adventist

You smash any cake in my face when my make up is paid for I will put you in your place and never entertain any part of you in my life. People who play with food, and throw it at people are childish, immature, there's nothing funny about it so they also lack of humour, and the food is wasted, I have nothing positive to say if you play with food.

    DJ texted sometime DURING OUR VOWS that he wasn't showing up. A lot of other things went wrong including a flash flood, hubbies car breaking down, my car keys getting somehow deadbolted locked inside of a hotel room that no one else was in (I still don't understand how that happened). I had a little breakdown right before the reception because I thought I wasn't going to get my first dance without a DJ. My husband and MOH wiped my tears and we headed into the reception to find our friends DJing the reception collectively, ended up being really special and sweet. 8 years later and we joke we got all our bad luck out of the way that day, smooth sailing since 😆

He was using my pictures on swinger sites and talking to couples as if they were talking to me. We divorced soon after. I should have stuck with my gut.

    Still an easy fix if it dissolves at the reception. Just don’t mail in the signed license. It’s not legally official until it’s signed and registered. We found out 3 years into our marriage that ours wasn’t legal all along. No record at the registrars office. We had no idea it hadn’t been mailed. And had to redo the paperwork part.

    First. Caterer tried to poison my flower girl and ring bearer with almonds on the hors d'oeuvre platters (I said no tree nuts anywhere due to their allergies, she didn’t care). Thankfully their mother was smart enough to keep them away. Then, same caterer put raspberries in my wedding cake (I’m allergic to raspberries, cake was supposed to be blueberry and lemon, she took it upon herself to add raspberries to the berry compote), SO I went into anaphylactic shock at my reception. Thankfully I had relatives there who are doctors and were able to administer epinephrine and make sure I could still breathe. Nevertheless, that caterer still ruined my wedding reception. I was out of commission for 5 hours that night, missed everything. Pictures ruined. It took 3 days for the swelling to go down on my face and throat. Only reason I’m still alive to tell the tale is because I had relatives present who are doctors and were able to save me. (The reception was held in a remote location in Vermont, too far away from a hospital so if it hadn’t been for my family and their kids’ epi pens (which they almost needed because of that same caterer’s carelessness with the appetizers), I wouldn’t have survived my own wedding reception).

    I'm 1 semester away from a dual degree in Pastry/Culinary Arts, and I'll bet dollars to doughnuts this "caterer" is in NO WAY licensed or certified. (No shame to the bride, A LOT of people have "cottage" businesses that aren't technically legal, MOST are very good) I sincerely hope, either way, they reported the whole mess to the Health Department and got a refund!

    This caterer is a sociopath. She showed a complete lack of regard for the lives of all of the guests and the bride. If someone says that they are allergic to something, you don't put it in food that you are making for them. Thank goodness the bride had family members with epi pens.

    40 Wedding Horror Stories That Go From Bad To Yikes We had a HUGE Italian style dessert bar served after the cake. I was to busy dancing, talking and having fun to make it over to the desserts. My mom asked if I wanted anything and she would make a to go box. I say yes, cheesecake. That's all, just cheesecake (it's my fav). Shortly after, my mom tells me it's all gone. My cousin comes to tell me goodbye, holding a desert box. We chat, tells me how much fun she had, how great the food and desert was. Then says "the cheesecake was amazing, you should get some!" She opens the box to show me, 4 slices of cheesecake, along with a ton of other desserts. I asked her if I could please have just 1 slice. She said "no, it's mine, should have gotten to it quicker!" I begged her and explained its my favorite desert. She still said no and promptly left.

    No where is there a glimpse of love or caring. Your cousin showed her true colors to you. Weddings are a moment in time you always remember. Unfortunately, your cousin embedded herself poorly. When people show you their true colors believe them & act on them. Mine would not be attending any of the family social gatherings as me, invited to. My home or anything with regards to my family. Why have people that don't care for you in your life.

    40 Wedding Horror Stories That Go From Bad To Yikes Not my wedding…but I officiated a wedding where the bride’s grandfather died in the bathroom minutes before the ceremony was supposed to start. Ended up doing chest compressions until EMS arrived and then rolled up to officiate and tell my silly little jokes while the family actively repressed their emotions - *because they did not tell the bride*.

    A friend of mine found out her brother passed away minutes before her birthday party. The family decided to put emotions on hold for the next couple of hours while they enjoyed the party, then gathered at home to deal with it after. There's plenty of tragedy in this life, so it does make sense to take advantage of joyful occasions in the midst of it all.

    She also would have asked where he was, during the photos. The family may have told her then, but at least they waited until the ceremony was over. If they'd told her beforehand, she may not have wanted to go through with it. (Shock, grief, denial, etc).

    I was closer to my best friend’s mother than to my own when I was growing up. She was there when I got married in February of 2009. I found out she had cancer a few months later. She’d gotten the diagnosis right before my wedding, but didn’t tell me because she didn’t want to ruin the day. She passed away right before Thanksgiving that year. Thirteen years later I still think about that. While my parents were bitching that my wedding wasn’t religious (I’m pagan), she was hiding a terminal illness and smiling as proudly as if I was her own daughter.

    I was in a wedding where this exact, exact thing happened. First instinct was to feel sorry for the bride and groom who had paid a lot of money for a very expensive wedding that literally, literally 15 people showed up to, but she was an absolutely awful person, like one of the worst people ever. Case in point: I was the maid of honor and I had only known her for a month (co worker)...Four other MOH had come and gone by the time we crossed paths. She spent the reception crying and calling everyone names.

    Not that I'm condoning his philandering, but his twatitude depends on when in the relationship he cheated. Years before you got married at the start of the relationship? (twat, but can be sorted out by vigorously dispatching a saucepan at his head) Or just before the wedding (a dyspeptic turd, get the marriage annulled, and then vigorously dispatch a saucepan at his head). Either way, he's a twat.

    The correct answer is of course don't go through with the wedding. But honestly, I'm sure few have the strength to actually do that in the moment. There is so much to process and you feel like you are under a microscope, amplifying how betrayed and humiliated you feel. Don't beat yourself up about going through with it. I'm sure many would do the same. However, I hope you eventually divorced because you deserve much better

    My tall, attractive, athletic first husband was a ballroom dancer. So our first dance at the reception was going to rock, right? I thought I was having fun at the time, but a friend remarked years later we looked terrible. He just looked like he was showing off and it was clear I couldn't keep up. He didn't care at all about slowing down and making us look like a couple. It became a metaphor for our failed 10-year marriage. He only ever cared about his stuff and was constantly inconsiderate of me. My second husband is an awkward, nerdy guy, 2.5" shorter than me. But we took dance lessons together, looked good at our wedding, and had fun.

    My mom picked a fight with me at the reception because I didn't invite her extended family but I did invite my stepmom. Family that she had only recently reconciled with and who I didn't know. Meanwhile stepmom is a decent person who was married to the man who raised me so she's an automatic invite. Besides I was having only 24 guests in total. My mom looked like she had a lemon in her mouth during the wedding until she started arguing at the reception. We had actually fought about this a lot during the engagement so I think she came just to make a scene. Anyways, I asked her to leave and proceeded to have a blast. I have not voluntarily spoken to my mother in thirteen years.

    40 Wedding Horror Stories That Go From Bad To Yikes Two bees flew up into my wedding gown as my Dad, myself and my attendants walked across the grounds of the venue to the ceremony area. I screamed and immediately began pulling up the bottom of my dress as the bees stung me, one on my butt and the other in a more delicate area. 😳 So there I was with the bottom of my dress pulled up over my head, with my Dad and attendants furiously looking for the culprits. To my horror, I realized the 3 photographers which were snapping photo’s as we walked kept taking pictures, although one did lay his camera down to try and help, which wasn’t great either. Everything got sorted, but I walked down the aisle and got married with half my butt and that other area burning and hurting. I sat on ice packs between dances at the reception. Sure enough when we got our wedding photo’s back for review, there were 5 photo’s of the whole wild scenario. 😂

    What kind of people watch anything on their phones, during a wedding, but especially family members? That's just off. As for the reception being cancelled, that's such a shame, but I don't know why the restaurant didn't try to hire a catering company or find another alternative, or something rather than just cancel on the day.

    I guess it depends on how much notice they had of their entire staff falling sick? You can't cater a wedding with less than a half day's warning, you need ingredients etc., after all. They might have ordered pizza or sth., given that they were half the amount of people they would have been originally...

    40 Wedding Horror Stories That Go From Bad To Yikes We asked the pastor from my husband's childhood church to officiate. Very old school conservative. We discussed with him what we wanted him to talk about during the ceremony, marriage being hard work, treat love as a verb, that kind of thing. What he ended up doing was speeding through the passage I wanted read, then talked for 15 minutes about how marriage is for only men and women, how we are made this way and how hormones play a part. I should add that my father-in-law, who walked me down the aisle, is gay. Well known fact. The preacher's speech at my wedding was basically condemnation for my father in law. He was able to laugh it off, but I am still mad about it to this day. We call it the hormone speech, the one black spot on what was otherwise a perfect day.

The 1 conversation I had with her I told her what they were wearing so it was very intentional. She also showed up with my husband's mom's fur coat on top of it. And then tried to walk in with the wedding party. I swore she was going to get jumped by my grandmother in law.

    Two months before my wedding I wound up in the burn ICU for a month. We had to cancel my shower and my bachelorette was cut short because I had a panic attack thanks to the resulting PTSD. I was on so many painkillers I don't remember much of the day itself, and I could only bring myself to look at the pictures once. Sometimes I feel like I got cheated out of a happy wedding. But a wedding is just a party, it's the marriage that is important.

    Too bad there wasn't time to reschedule for a later date. I remember watching a reality show about a wedding that had to be put off for a whole year--Bride and Groom met at a restaurant job while they were in college, she was studying to be a nurse. After she graduates and gets a nursing job, she's trying to help lift a very heavy patient, throws out her back so badly that she's bedridden for the better part of a year. Fortunately, most of the vendors were still able to do the later wedding.

    40 Wedding Horror Stories That Go From Bad To Yikes MIL shared the news before we could. We eloped, and didn't tell anyone until 30 mins before. We only told immediate family right before, with very clear directions not to share with anyone yet. We got married in the evening, turned our phones off, and in the morning woke up to messages from all of the inlaws (aunts/uncles and cousins). We had originally planned to do a social post within a couple days, but because she shared our news, we opted not to at all. My family waited until I gave the go ahead to share it with others (to the point my little sister told me that my dad was having a really hard time not sharing it with his brother/my uncle, but he knew it wasn't his news to share, so he didn't). At least we know who gets any other big news last now.

    I thought the whole point of eloping was it being a secret? Why did they bother telling their families beforehand. If they wanted the big reveal themselves, they could have told their families (after it was done) and THEN released the social media at the same time, so that nobody else can spill it. I hope that OP and her hubs went off on MIL for spilling the beans. I certainly wouldn't trust her at all, after that.

    Not exactly *at* my wedding but it is a big part of it... so my mom is a REALLY good seamstress so I asked her if she would make my dress. She was happy I asked, I had the pattern picked out, ordered the 15 yards or very expensive silk... a few months before the wedding I asked her if I could see what she's done and asked if she needed me to try anything on, she said she wasn't ready to show me yet and said she is plugging away on it. Months go by, still haven't seen anything. Exactly three weeks before the wedding she tells me she isn't gonna have any of it done. I went to a bridal store and just bought the first dress I tried on because it fit perfectly. There wouldn't have been time for adjustments. It was pretty enough, but not what I wanted. Still, to this day I've never seen any parts of the dress she was making and I am pretty sure she never e en so much as cut the pattern out.

    I can’t decide if this is them simply dancing like idiots and hubs was being too energetic swinging her about, or blatant abuse. If it wasn’t blatant abuse, then why tf did the relationship make it past the wedding reception?

    Haha ohhh wheee! The best man gave a speech where he called my sister(MOH) a hoe….she was in a long term relationship for 6 years, called my other sister (bridesmaid) a “weekend lesbian” she’s out and proud. Went on about how my best friend (bridesmaid) was terrible with money. Alluded I was a gold digger while running around shooting $1 bills out of a money gun saying it was an interpretive dance of my life….this was all supposed to be a funny roast I guess but he only “roasted” the ladies. He made a joke about bill Cosby and another joke about how the previous DJ I’d secured died….🫠

    40 Wedding Horror Stories That Go From Bad To Yikes A friend showed up in a white jumpsuit. The DJ's mics didn't work during the ceremony, she played the wrong song for our first dance, and her reception playlist included no danceable music (there was even Blink 182). The caterer refused to put wine bottles on the tables as agreed, but put all the stemware there so guests had to bring their glasses to the bar. Our photographer's ideas of "casual and candid shots of our guests having fun" was zooming in on one person's face in a group of 5+ with everyone else's head shown from the back and blurred out. Every photo looked like this. Only our posed wedding party shots were usable.

    1. omg, this is so familiar :D now I'm laughing at everything but at that time I was really frustrated (so to say mildly). we send to DJ actual songs (not the names) but actual files to play, at least 40, and said if it was not enough then please add yours of similar style. At the reception he did not play any of the music that we sent, we started wondering why, he had non of our music saved... after we literally begged him to play songs that we requested, he played 2 of them (because we asked twice) from youtube! he was cutting them short and continuing to play his favourite music. It was horrible, because guests were not following, it was not something dancable or even familiar to them, a lot of them were super outdated and culturally, language-wise not familiar. AND every freaking song he was cutting short and putting another... you know the feeling when you just just starting to get into the vibe and it cuts. Frustrating. And then the best came...

    2. we had dancing classes before our big day. Teacher set a first dance for us (you know, with steps counting and special moves to every part of the song) and we rehearsed it for many weeks before our wedding. We ask DJ to put our first dance song (he does it from youtube) we dance for 1 minute... then suddenly DJ skips the song to almost the end of it.... we stopped and froze. What was in the head of this dude I don't know, he not only ruined all mood of the reception guests with his music, but even ruined our first dance. His services were prepaid. Guys, never pay full amount in advance, and recommendations can be very misleading... bitter lesson learned.

    40 Wedding Horror Stories That Go From Bad To Yikes We had a little gathering in my yard for my wedding. My friends were hanging out and we were having pizza by our fire pit when my mother came out to pick up some left over stuff. She tripped in the dark and broke her shoulder, she's had permanent reduction of mobility and a lot of pain since. My mother and I were the only two who didn't have a drink so we spent the night in the ER. Oh and my husband is estranged from his parents so he forgot the date we picked was *their* wedding anniversary. This is after saying he didn't want to get married close to *my* parents anniversary. Edit: forgot, I have food allergies and the catering put my allergen in the food. I decided to consume a bunch of cupcakes for dinner.

    The night before the wedding, my husband and I check into the hotel. We go downstairs to see the venue. I eagerly open the door, excited to see the ornate 12 foot tall Christmas tree at the end of the aisle. Instead, there is a cheap plastic piece of c**p tree that’s like 5 feet tall with five ornaments. You see, my mom suggested my husband and I get married in front of a Christmas tree (it was a Christmas themed wedding) instead of under an archway. We loved this idea. She had me select a tree and decoration package from a tree rental company. When I called my mom in a panic asking if this was the tree she had rented, she started gaslighting me. She told me she was never planning on renting a tree. That I imagined it. That I was spoiled for thinking she would pay for that. I hung up, cried my eyes out, and called my dad. My dad ended up going to Lowe’s, purchasing a 14 foot fake tree, and decorations. He decorated it all by himself and it looked fantastic. While he was setting it up, my mom had the nerve to tell him I was a brat (and other, much worse names) and she even hinted that she did it all to “get back at me” because of a petty argument we had like a month beforehand. The wedding was beautiful. Especially the tree. However, that was definitely the worst thing that happened. I think the reason being, it was a turning point. I knew my mom had issues, but I never thought she would let her issues impact something as big as my wedding day. EDIT: My mom was only involved in the decorations aspect of the wedding. She was not in charge of anything else, nor did she pay for anything else.

    More background from another comment by OP: For more context, my parents got divorced when I was 10. My mom cheated with her personal trainer and they have been together ever since. My mom and him have a weird relationship where they will go months on end without talking sometimes. Basically, if they ever get into an argument she will just ignore him until he caves. Her and my grandpa got into an argument in September and she still hasn’t spoken to him. To the point where she ignored him at my wedding, Christmas, and at my cousin’s wedding. The argument was over him struggling to find her at the airport when he was picking her up (she was in departures instead of arrivals). She has never said sorry to her boyfriend, her father, me or my brother, or anybody else ever. For anything. My dad has thankfully always been the bigger person and has been there for me and my brother no matter what. (Continued)

    40 Wedding Horror Stories That Go From Bad To Yikes I had a big ol’ white train that was long enough to drag behind me on the ground, and it was beautiful in every picture, until, as I started actually walking down the aisle, I could feel it detach itself from my hair and stay at the aisle threshold. And, like, everyone’s standing up and turning around to look at me so I can’t be like HANG ON A SEC, DO-OVER, I GOTTA HAIR THING, so I just walk forward, and the train must’ve been caught on something because it pulled my head back and I am trying to walk forward and it’s pulling at my hair, and my about-to-be husband thought I was tearing up at the sight of him. But no. It was the huge chuck of hair this train ripped out of my head. As it detached from my head. Like a booster rocket. It was pretty in the pictures though.

    I know I'm in a very small minority, but i don't understand the big deal about white dresses at a wedding. I wouldn't wear one since it is considered taboo, but why? I don't think anyone close enough to get an invite is going to be confused about who the bride is, and if they are, they can assume it is the one standing in front of everyone saying their vows.

    I was talking to a guest when someone bumped into her from behind. The (red) wine she was holding spilled onto her hand, but thankfully nowhere else. Her reaction? To SHAKE the wine off her hand, spattering red wine down the front of my wedding dress. She then had the nerve to blame the person who bumped her rather than just, you know, apologizing like a normal (decent) human being.

And if he wanted pictures taken of him he should ask his mom since he was her family. My stepmother was also incredibly racist to one of our guests the entire reception dinner.

He didn’t call or speak to my husband for 2 months and when they finally talked he didn’t apologize or give any excuse.. it’s been 3 months since we got married and he hasn’t even offered to pay me back for any of the stuff I paid for.

My self proclaimed MOH told me that what my hair looked like didn't matter but hers had to look good. Our caterers tossed our dinner plates while we were having pictures taken & boxed everything up before we were done so we didn't get to eat the food we paid for. One of the groomsmen got pissed at me that I wouldn't let him have a bachelor party with strippers so he was tossed from the wedding party. There was to be no alcohol due to 3 of 4 parents are alcoholics, but MIL boyfriend was pouring freely from the trunk of his car. The girl my husband cheated in me with refused to leave me alone and caused me to get 2nd degree burns from a curling iron on my back.

She kept coming to the room asking every stupid question you could think of, ie where is the flowers for the bridesmaids they had them already, where is the sign in book my mom had it. When she barged in for the 8th time asking where my husband was I panicked and turned around & my sil who was curling my hair hit my bare back."

    My parents were alcoholics so my brothers wedding was dry. My parents and their friends (who were invited because they were “close friends of the family”) went out and drank from the trunk of the car. In the torrential rain—like places were flooding out rain. They got drunk enough and I was so angry with them. They didn’t wreck the wedding or anything like that, but I and my brother and new sister in law were really disappointed they couldn’t go a few hours without getting smashed.

    We had a shuttle bus from reception to hotel. My husband's out of town step- cousin and his girlfriend took shrooms and were tripping balls on the bus My husband's sweet grandma (shes like the grandma from happy gilmore) was also on the shuttle and did not know why they were behaving that way, and she was afraid and upset by it. She sat quietly on the shuttle crying to herself while he was hollering. I found this out years later, I was sad for her

    I got completely wasted. We left out reception and did what you do on your wedding night. I then ate our wedding cake, which was red velvet. We had to be up at 3 am the next morning to catch a flight for our honeymoon. A couple hours of sleep was not okay for the amount of alcohol i consumed. When i woke up, i was throwing up repeatedly and thought it was blood. Ended up in the ER, missed our flight and cruise. After a couple hours there, the Dr. asked if I had eaten anything with red dye and I very defensively said no! All my husband said was “….our wedding cake” I was too drunk to remember eating that red velvet cake. We got our cruise changed after 5 hours on the phone with the cruise line. We ended up having a great honeymoon and we have a hilarious story tell now!

    My mother was going through a phase where she bought all these outlandish clothes and got a weird haircut. She thought she looked very stylish and Avant garde, but she looked ridiculous. Meanwhile my mother-in-law helped me put together my little punch and Cake wedding and did everything my mother should have done At my wedding my mother strutted in thinking that she would be the center of attention but somebody laughed at her within her earshot. So my mother threw a fit and stormed out breaking up the party and ruining my reception. The wedding was very homemade so the Bridesmaids and my mother-in-law cleaned up everything. My mother got a lot of criticism for not at least helping pick up a few things. But she was headed out for some some romantic trip with her new husband. My second wedding was also Homespun and done by my new mother-in-law. It was lovely and everybody had a wonderful time. My mother was not invited nor did she ever find out the event occurred.

    Lots of people were late, including my photographer, which meant I lost out on getting a ton of pictures I had planned for and wanted. My caterer 'forgot' items for a hot tea/coffee bar, which we had already set up. They also forgot the punch we ordered. My mom hated her hair and makeup and freaked out and cried in the bathroom. My great-aunt told me a story about how she screamed so loudly on her wedding night that her husband had to cover her mouth. She said this loudly at a table of other elderly family members and then went on to ask us about our wedding night plans. I was also still on my period during all of this and the week leading up to it was one of the most stressful of my life. We didn't even get to eat our wedding food as we were so busy so we had to get Mcdonalds later that night. Should have eloped!

    The caterer started getting in my face as soon as we got to the venue (literally before we even got into the building) and I almost cried and ruined my makeup. This was after she kept calling me while I was getting my nails done the day before despite me saying I’ll call her back after my appointment. Thankfully my mom and my husband saw her getting in my face again about how much water I brought (which, btw was enough, the two cases my brother went out to get were leftover), so my husband pulled me away to hug me and cheer me up while my mom yelled at the caterer. Did not hear a peep out of the caterer for the rest of the night

    My husband lost his ring and, despite me telling him to just leave it, we spent like an hour of our time we were supposed to be taking pictures looking for it. We found it in the car, the photographer left as he had put in his time, and at that point my mom came over looking dejected and said, “We didn’t even get any pictures together.” Now I feel sad and guilty every time I think of my wedding day or look at my weddings pictures.

    The groom was barely there ‘cause he was more worried about arranging alcohol and getting drunk with his friends. And wasn’t even there for the ceremony at the end when the girl leaves her family. It was a south Asian wedding. My mother was busy a*s-licking her boss so she was hardly in any family pics. My aunt who’s a professional MUA didn’t do the makeup I wanted. I looked all right but really didn’t want to match my outfit. Aaaand the food got over and I didn’t get any at the end of the night. Also my husband didn’t get in touch with the photographer I wanted, so we ended up getting a c**p one.

    Our DJ was horrible. When announcing us he forgot our first and last name. Then for the rest of the night he continued to call my husband by a different name which happened to be my ex boyfriend’s name. We tried to leave a bad review and he contacted us. His excuse for not knowing our names was he had only known us for a few months… he then deleted our review. Our photographer was also trash. We took our family photos on stage, she insisted that she’d be able to edit the lighting. She never did. We also never received an entire album of photos. Her excuse was she was going through a difficult divorce.

    Our venue was an historic home and our caterers set the fire alarm off. Fire Trucks came and we had to evacuate 5 mins before our ceremony started. Once we got back on track with the wedding, my FIL stood up and interrupted our ceremony as we were exchanging rings (we’re interfaith and there was some confusion on what ceremonies were happening). My heart was pounding straight for an hour throughout that whole ordeal.

    Wow, these answers are really putting mine into perspective. I loved my wedding but looking back I often do feel a bit of embarrassment about certain aspects. Could've been much worse, though! 1. We didn't anticipate how much traffic there would be and had expected to just hail a few cabs. I was 30 min late to the ceremony and it took us an hour to get to the reception. 2. The officiant had never officiated a wedding before and didn't practice his speech. He's a friend of my husband's and while I like him, I wish he had put more effort into the ceremony. It was very short and a bit awkward. 3. I stepped on part of my dress and ripped it. It wasn't noticeable during the wedding, luckily, but it meant I couldn't resell it as I had planned. Not really sure what to do with it! It's just sitting in my closet.

    Two of my bridesmaids were almost late because they were starting to get ready at their house rather than at the venue. I had two maids of honor (my sister and my best friend), and neither prepared a speech for me so I had a half-assed improv speech from my sister after my husband had a tear-jerker speech from his best man. It was ok, but it still sucked that nobody put the effort in on my behalf. My dad was expecting to do a speech, but my father-in-law (who was functioning as the DJ) forgot to give him the mic. My dad's too nice a guy to speak up, and my husband and I were distracted and anxious. I had a borderline panic attack after the ceremony because I actually hate attention. Thankfully it was discreet and only my husband could tell. Just some minor hiccups in an overall busy day, but at least nobody had a medical emergency or anything. My father-in-law went to a wedding where the grandmother of the bride or groom fell and hit her head and died en route to the hospital.

    My first wedding I had 2 big issues. 1. My period started randomly and very unexpectedly and I had blood on my dress. Thankfully we got it out but God that gave me a heart attack. 2. My husband was 20 mins late to our wedding cause his sister threw a temper tantrum about going (she was 15) and they brought her dressed looking like she was a hobo (very stained and dirty pink t-shirt with a butterfly on it and ratty torn up Jeans also with stains) and with her hair in very large noticable knots and stuff in it (it looked crusty and oily). She doesn't even have autism or anything to justify this behavior. Then if it counts my wedding night was just as bad. My husband went to cook dinner and set our home on fire and he broke our oven and cost us a S**T ton of money. I also ended up nearly needing to get stitches from when I went and broke the glass (there was no hammer to break it and I had a rapidly growing fire so I punched it) and badly cut myself when I went to get the fire extinguisher from the appartment laundry room. We divorced a year later when I found out he cheated on me for our entire relationship. Should have taken the issues as a warning.

Then he made us do a final dance to Leo f*****g Sayer (I’d had s few drinks by then do we just went along with it - hissing „We’ll find this funny in a few years“ to each other*).

    My wedding was amazing and I had no idea this happened until someone told me long afterwards. At the time, one of my best friends absolutely hated a newer but very good friend of mine. New Friend decided to confront Old Friend using two mutual friends as mediators and ask why Old Friend hated her. Now when I was told this my first thought wasn’t “wtf why would you do that at my wedding” (that came later) but rather “oh god why would she ask her that?” Because my Old Friend is the most savage person I’ve ever met and she has no qualms with laying out the harsh truths. She had always been polite to New Friend because she’s honest, not an a*****e, but when she literally asked for it. . .old friend unleashed. A mutual friend described it to me as “she demolished her entire life and every last aspect of her personality to an atomic level.” New Friend, to her slight credit, just said “okay,” and walked away to have a mental breakdown in private. I’m just glad the worst thing was something 98% of my guests didn’t know about.
