And this Twitter thread that has gone viral holds proof. Last week, a journalist based in Australia who goes by the handle @bhakthi invited people to spill the tea about weddings that went terribly wrong. Right after confessing this is a category of gossip she adores, she added, "Please tell me about the worst wedding you’ve been to please and thank you."

He should. Well, depending on the brides face. If she was amused & laughed, maybe not. But, if she was mortified & looked like she was smelling horseshit, then definitely say it.
Load More Replies...Yeah, but the bride and her family might find it not so hilarious, and even hurtful. This would work for the bachelor party, maybe, but not the wedding.
Load More Replies...I mean, I would, too. I was a bridesmaid in my friends 3rd wedding. She was bridezilla this time. I wish I had the opportunity to say something like that. Needless to say, I no longer talk to her and I will never be in another wedding. I don't even want to go to one.
A good man to refuse that much money. Or he was playing the long game as she was going to inherit bunches more and they had no pre-nup.
I mean, I would be upset if my father tried to pay off my fiance, but at the same time you have to accept that yes, my fiance must really love me to refuse the money....
Even if I am marrying someone my parents chose for me, I won't just leave the girl just because someone's offered me money to.
It’s impossible to predict everything. And weddings are especially notorious for proving that if something can go wrong, it definitely will. On the big day, there’s always a handful of people who manage to do something inappropriate and leave every single guest shaking their head in disbelief.
Just think about the heated family drama, the ignorant relatives, and unwanted plus-ones who decide it's the perfect occasion to have one drink too many. But while minor mishaps and not-so-ideal situations are unavoidable, there's always humor to be found even in the dimmest of places. After all, embarrassing situations usually lead to a laugh or two or at least become great stories to tell your grandkids.
I don't think it was meant in seriousness.. sounds like 2 good friends razzing/ daring each other...

I wanna be a drunk clown. Anybody getting married any time soon?
Don’t worry there are usually drunk clowns at every wedding on earth. They just usually don’t wear clown shoes.
Load More Replies...The only thing I see that could be changed is the sister. If she's going to be the literal rain on a good, wild day, then she can leave.
Load More Replies...I feel like a higher power did everything to either stop this wedding or test their strength and they either failed miserably or proved that there is no getting in the way of love lol
Well, it was OP's grandparents' wedding, so if it happened before 1960, CPR wasn't a thing. It wasn't widely known until the 1980s. Also, if the lady was advanced in years, it just might be that there was little to be done.
Load More Replies...I can't blame the 3yo. That's practically a baby, he's not going to do any that ceremonial stuff; all he knows at that age is play, eat, s**t and sleep
Especially since he was clearly feeling sick and just didn't have the words yet to explain that.
Load More Replies...Maybe he timed it wrong. You never know what their relationship was like.
Load More Replies...The page boy and flower girl show reminds me of Darlene's wedding on 'Roseanne' where Jackie marched her fat toddler down the aisle before the bride to make sure he was in that wedding looking adorable: 'Ring bearer, coming thru! Ring bearer, coming thru!'
If my math is right here, they pulled a Weekend At Bernie's before that movie existed...
Well, that’s the lesson we can take from Bhakthi’s viral Twitter thread that has attracted people from far and wide to share their unfortunate wedding experiences. It’s hard to believe that some people manage to make their big day into an occasion that everyone will gossip about for years to come. While some of the stories left us mentally wincing and overflowing with extreme secondhand embarrassment, it’s important to remember that all kinds of things can go wrong when two hearts become one. And no one is immune to mishaps and awkward moments.
Wedding I was at one of the speeches wished the bride "good times and science guys", or so it seemed. Whole table looked at each other confused. Speaker was good friend of the bride and a nerd-type but bride was not. We finally found out later she'd said "good times and sunny skies", lol. I remember this 20 years later :D
ok but I think i'm using 'spoonerized' now because I f*****g FELT THAT
My 4 year old niece piped up as everyone bowed their head in prayer at my aunt’s funeral “what are you all looking at? Did you drop something?” Since we are all heathens, the whole row laughed and got a dirty look from the officiant.
ha ha my daughter did this at my cousins wedding. I told her it was a little bit of time in church and then a party. Service was long for her being only 6 and when there was a quiet moment whilst the priest asked if anyone objects she said to me really loud "Can we go to the party now?"
I have a brother just like that. Rude and questions everything. I think it probably happened.
Load More Replies...My then 3 yo son was ring bearer at my Bff's wedding. When the registrar said 'if anyone here knows of any legal impediment blah blah' Place was silent for about 2 seconds before my boy declared 'I WANT TO SIT THERE!' A lovely low rumble of laughter rippled out across the guests, and the bride and groom, who were both so nervous, visibly relaxed.
All together now, let's review the circumstances under which it is appropriate to make unprompted comments about someone's body or pregnancy: 1.________
If you witness the baby leaving her body. Otherwise STFU.
Load More Replies...At what point is it safe to mention a woman's unconfirmed pregnancy? At some point after you can see the baby crowning.
I have to admit, I would have been on the floor laughing at that point.
Open mouth and insert foot, dude! Nothing a bride wants to hear more than she looks PG when she is not.
"It's really important to expect that at least one thing is going to go wrong on the day," Sarah and Anna, Team Leaders of The Wedding Society, told Bored Panda in an earlier interview. "This event is the culmination of many businesses, people, family members, elements, and months of work coming together and squeezing into one 6-hour period. Something will go wrong and that's totally okay because the end game is not to have a perfectly run event — it's to get married to your love in the same perfectly imperfect way that you live your lives."
I hope she likes moths. I would personally LOVE this, but that’s obviously not everyone’s view on these things
Either slow to react or found out after the vows. When it happens this early after wedding vows it's an annulment. Or more materialistic reason, cancelling wedding expensive due to no refunds and this way at least you use what you paid for
Load More Replies...A wedding is ceremonial. You're not legally married until you sign the paperwork. My guess is that he hadn't actually signed anything. Probably didn't care what going through with it cost him as he gave those tickets away.
It probably depends where you are, but we signed the documents during the ceremony. We (and our witnesses) had read everything over beforehand so it only took ~5 minutes and it's just worked into the schedule. Perhaps it's different where this guy was though. Or his church does it different, or whatever.
Load More Replies...To humiliate and embarrass the wife, bet he got the wedding annulled too!
Say what you will, but you can't fault his sense for dramatics. Damn!
Class act as far as I’m concerned sadly he went through the whole wedding thing then stuck it to both his “Ho new wife and a*****e BM/friend. I’d have done that at the Altar on microphone.
It’s so selfish when people do this. It ruins the wedding, if you really loved someone like that you wouldn’t try to stir up drama for them.
The aunty deserves a 10 star rating for that action alone. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If we could rate people, that is.
If I were that bride I would have punched my "friend" in the face then and there for trying to ruin my wedding and hoping to steal my groom
I don't even understand what the MoH thought she stood to gain. The wedding has usually already happened at the time of the speeches. Stealing the groom would have been much more likely in a private conversation beforehand. This just alienates her best friend for nothing.
Load More Replies...What was she expecting, that the groom would be ecstatic, bail on his bride, and they would run off and live happily ever after??? Delusional much?
"Of course, having a great sense of humor helps any embarrassing situation, but it's also important to remember that these are the people you love and trust the most and who know you best (or at least they should be!)," they continued. We’ve long heard about the therapeutic benefits of laughter and how it boosts our mental health. So sharing regrettable stories online with like-minded people and giggling ourselves silly may be just what we need to move past our slip-ups.
"You're in a safe space with people who love you. If something embarrassing happens, you're in the best company to help you through it," Sarah and Anna added.
Having started on the 'In sickness..." part early.

Our first trip together after our engagement, my fiance vomitted all night. We'll be married 43 years next week.
Congrats! On your long and happy marriage, not the vomiting.
Load More Replies..."Laid in rows"? How many guests did they take out with the homemade hooch?
Okay, but I don't belive the implication that the little old ladies thought it was lemonade. Little old ladies have lived long enough to know exactly what is up.
They laid out the bodies and then the ring bearer used a skateboard to jump over them like Tony Hawk
I'm picturing the bride getting hit over the head numerous times and someone walks in at that point and is like, damnnn, wild party
That sounds about what I'd expect at any Russian party. They know how to have fun...
Some Orthodox churches don't have pews, thus explaining the little old ladies being laid out in rows in the foyer
Profiteroles=cream puffs croquembouche=a cone-shaped tower of cream puffs bound together by caramel. Thank you for attending my TED talk.
Croquembouche is... basically a stack of profiteroles. You're both right!
GOD! I love Profiterol and Croquembouche! It may be worth buying a ticket to Italy as no one here can make taste like the original. I will come back weighing 450lb but I'll set the scale to Kg. so my wife won't notice.
I couldn't understand because I could only think of one definition for "hoeing" smh. I had to go look it up after finding out what profiteroles were.
But while we know that we’ll never be able to control every single aspect of how the big day is going to unfold, we can at least learn how to manage our expectations and act accordingly. When you stumble upon some bumps on the road, "the first thing is to remain composed and speak calmly, just as you should in any negative situation," Desiree Dent from Dejanae Events told BRIDES. "Address the problem as soon as possible by seeking out onsite vendors or staff to help you resolve the issue. Don't allow it to ruin your day of celebration and love!"
"OMG DAD! Can you have your heart attack some other time??? This is MY day and you're ruining it!!!!"
This is why I don't drink. A, so I don't do that. B, so I remember when someone else does.
Same, and I have nightmares about doing that exact thing completely accidentally 😅
Load More Replies...I don't understand "politely eating" anything at a five-course meal. If I don't want soup or salad, just the entree, that's my right. If I only want one side dish, not two, my call. If I don't want dessert, are they suddenly gonna disinvite me from the wedding? The less food the guests eat, the more the bride and groom will have leftovers, so I really wouldn't worry about "politely eating" anything you don't want to.
I went to a JW wedding once for a co-worker I barely knew with no food, no alcohol (obviously), not even any chairs. We just had to stand around in a hotel conference room while people made speeches about how "godly" they were. I grabbed my present on the way out. F**k that.
I was raised a JW. Never been to a wedding like you described. Beer for adults, root beer for kids. Lots of food (usually well-arranged pot luck). Normal conversation at tables. Never saw anybody get drunk, but they're not tee totalers. Maybe you wandered into the wrong wedding?
Load More Replies...I just read that, the Disney Wedding, the bride issued invitations saying 'food was available'. only not at the reception. The guests had to sit thru the wedding and buy their own food from vending machines or go down the street to a Taco Bell. No money for food because they had to pay Disney mascots to show up to pose for pictures. JFC.
For example, if you find yourself in the midst of a family drama, you should try to keep awkward situations to a bare minimum. Moreover, you can inform your wedding planner (if you decided to hire one) about your family dynamics so they could help you minimize the encounters. "Family disputes really require the work of everyone involved to remember the bigger picture and work towards a higher goal, and also to remember their love for each other above everything else," Sarah and Anna explained.
This is an uncle win if you ask me . This will be a life long funny story to them. Uncles are supposed to be a little wild or goofy
This would have been the first time in my life I would have hit the high notes.

Hey, wait....maybe this was a vow renewal and not a wedding, and she didn't get rid of him.
Load More Replies...Heh. Our wedding was in our backyard, just us, the dog and the officiant. Lovely day, lovely vows. Hummingbirds flew around us as we toasted one another with champagne. Then we went back to prepping the house for the cat 3 hurricane that was due the next day.
What are the odds someone invites hurricane Katrina to the wedding?
My Mom always told me 2 things: "Do not expect too much and you will never be disappointed" and "NEVER MARRY A MAN UNTIL YOU HAVE SEEN HIM DRUNK"
Depends on how close the names are. If Bride is Jenna, and Ex is Jennifer, it's a simple mistake to make in the heat of the moment. But if Bride is Amy, and Ex is Prudence, it's kinda hard to mix those two up unless you're actively preoccupied with Ex at your own wedding. Not a good look.
I have always hated the way the rest of the Friends and eventually Ross as well were so horrible about Emily. If the person I loved said his ex's name at the alter and then was going to take said ex on what should have been our honeymoon, damn right I wouldn't want him having anything to do with her! But then I like to think I wouldn't have even given him a second chance.
I don't get it, if you want the best man (or any other person) why go on with the marriage?
And why go through it as the groom knowing that? Just to embarrass them both?
Load More Replies...Seriously? Why do these people still go ahead with the wedding? I understand that they’re feeling betrayed and angry, but what about the guests? They might have paid for outfits, accommodation and wedding gifts, hair dos etc. This is just plain disrespectful to them, all so that they get their revenge in public.
Maybe he found out on the day on the wedding. If not, then you're right
Load More Replies...It's not a coincidence. You're more likely to fall for people you spend a lot of time around, especially if you're not intending to fall for anyone. And your partner's best friend probably shares a lot of traits with your partner, who you presumably like if not love. Same reason it's usually the Maid of Honour if the groom's been cheating.
Load More Replies...To embarrass and humiliate the bride plus making sure her parents remember it while paying for the wedding expenses.
As for as I am concerned both bride and groom are selfish kn*bs. Her for cheating and him for(likely) making her parents splash out for the wedding. Not to mention the guests who travelled, and spent money. If he had time to design a powerpoint. he had time to cancel.
Load More Replies...Good call. The bouquet toss is the real killer

Load More Replies...Nonsense. You need to give 2 weeks notice of marriage in the UK and it can only be done in a legally designated place- certainly not a pub! Nor does a JP officiate weddings in the UK.
Lies. I'm British and you need to apply for a marriage license at least two weeks before the wedding in the UK (to prevent people from getting married on a whim). JP's are not able to legally marry people, only licensed members of the church/religious leaders or offical registrars can do that. You can't get ordained over the Internet here like in the US. Also, the place where you marry must have a license to hold weddings which a pub almost certainly wouldn't have.
I call B.s. in the UK you can’t get married in a pub and JPs don’t perform weddings.
I don't know about the UK but we were married by a justice of the peace here in the USA. Definitely a proper marriage as it was accepted by immigration. Once you have your license you can be married anywhere--I'm aware of a wedding on a local mountaintop.

Maybe just make sure you don't have a jerk perform your marriage. Most priests/judges/officiators do a nice job. Some use the occasion to pontificate on whatever their crazy views might be. Do a little research and get a good one. And stop assuming that priest=bad person. Or that any category of people are all bad.
Load More Replies...At a friend's wedding, their Catholic priest started rambling on and on about how the bride has to obey the groom and be submissive and meek and mild, and pretty soon, all of us were just openly laughing. ESPECIALLY the bride and groom! Believe it or not, some men actually love women who aren't subservient dishrags, and this groom was one of 'em.
He must have converted many of those in attendance, such a nice man!

Do you mean the father died and the wedding continued? How well loved the farher was, indeed!!
My family is like this. They are deeply offended if there is a game on during a wedding that they have to miss. If it's a weekend, there is ALWAYS going to be a game on, and you'd think maybe they could suck it up for a couple hours? But no, someone always goes and finds a TV and within minutes, most of the men and a few of the women are huddled around it ignoring the wedding reception. Yes, the groom's usually watching telly, too.
How many brides are doing the groom's best man in this thread? Yikes!

However I remember seeing an article years ago which said all research shows it's actually the mother of the groom who is far more likely to cause issues. Mothers and their sons - most women will know what I mean! Fathers and their daughters can be similar.
I've said this before, but the women who do this are extra stupid, because your 50-year-old a*s in a beaded wedding gown will never, ever look good compared to the radiant bride a generation younger than you, and you just look like an insecure idiot.

I don't get these type of speeches- if you're unhappy with your son's/daughter's choice, you voice it to them, if at all, quietly and in private. If they are still set about getting married, just be happy for them and keep your trap shut. Isn't a parent supposed to be loving and nurturing- if you're so certain that the union will fail, be there ready to help your child pick up the pieces afterwards should it do so and without even a hint of "I told you so"

The drunk bride/groom/couple is so disrespectful. I took time and money to travel to your wedding, and you can't even stand upright for the ceremony? The worst I saw was a groom who has a habit of getting blackout drunk at every party, and was well on his way at his wedding ceremony. He was drunk and acted very uncomfortable during the whole ceremony, twitching and jerking around. (The ceremony was held at an old railroad station, which sounds cute, until you know it was on working tracks, and the wedding was interrupted multiple times by trains going through.) Twitchy Groom twitched and mumbled his way drunkenly through the ceremony, and then joined his buddies to keep drinkin' as soon as it was over. He could barely be convinced to do the first dance with the bride, and was already passed out, head on the table, by the time the bride cut the wedding cake... with her mom.

mine. I cried all morning (not happy). witness to JP wedding was ½ hour late because he overslept. some clerk younger than me (I was 23) "officated" and since the inside was ugly as f**k but there were semi decent fountains (and adequate lighting as opposed to the cave in the courthouse), we choose to go outside. but I have to make a side trip for morning sickness. (got engaged. got pregnant. turned down for benefits so moved up the marriage)...... I should have listened to my daughter right then lmao . 17 years later I am STILL in court with him 3 years after our divorce is final. oh and the witness who overslept? made bunny ears in half our pictures.
This was an off the rails moment, but everyone was happy and having fun so it wasn't bad-- I was the matron of honor, and there was also a maid of honor. I had been told my speech time was two minutes. I had written and practiced to make sure I could get the time right. Handed the mic to the maid of honor, and she rambled drunk for several minutes. The MC ended up chasing her and cornering her to get the mic back.
My brother's second wedding. An older lady, guest of the bride, had a huge 1960's beehive hairdo - easily a full can of hairspray to hold it up. She bent over a candle and her hair burst into flames. Got the flames extinguished, she was unharmed (except for her hair), but the entire place smelled like burned hair. Not a good scent.
he stumbled over "eternal devotion" in the vows. they were divorced in less than 2 years IIRC (22 years ago. tech school marriage. IYKYK)
Our officiant's printer messed up the certificate (somehow?) and it was rejected. He called to let us know and we met him with our maid of honour and best man at a Tim Hortons and got "officially" married over donuts. Luckily we were allowed to keep the original date on our wedding certificate...otherwise, our night was almost perfect (I'm a planner). Haven't seen any disasters, yet, but I've been to a few with very poor planning- usually it's because they're not considering the experience from their guests' POV, and just doing what they want. The reception is a party you're hosting, and you need to cater to your guests...the ceremony is for the couple and should be all about what the couple wants.

I cried all morning (not happy). witness to JP wedding was ½ hour late because he overslept. some clerk younger than me (I was 23) "officated" and since the inside was ugly as f**k but there were semi decent fountains (and adequate lighting as opposed to the cave in the courthouse), we choose to go outside. but I have to make a side trip for morning sickness. (got engaged. got pregnant. turned down for benefits so moved up the marriage)...... I should have listened to my daughter right then lmao . 17 years later I am STILL in court with him 3 years after our divorce is final. oh and the witness who overslept? made bunny ears in half our pictures.
This was an off the rails moment, but everyone was happy and having fun so it wasn't bad-- I was the matron of honor, and there was also a maid of honor. I had been told my speech time was two minutes. I had written and practiced to make sure I could get the time right. Handed the mic to the maid of honor, and she rambled drunk for several minutes. The MC ended up chasing her and cornering her to get the mic back.
My brother's second wedding. An older lady, guest of the bride, had a huge 1960's beehive hairdo - easily a full can of hairspray to hold it up. She bent over a candle and her hair burst into flames. Got the flames extinguished, she was unharmed (except for her hair), but the entire place smelled like burned hair. Not a good scent.
he stumbled over "eternal devotion" in the vows. they were divorced in less than 2 years IIRC (22 years ago. tech school marriage. IYKYK)
Our officiant's printer messed up the certificate (somehow?) and it was rejected. He called to let us know and we met him with our maid of honour and best man at a Tim Hortons and got "officially" married over donuts. Luckily we were allowed to keep the original date on our wedding certificate...otherwise, our night was almost perfect (I'm a planner). Haven't seen any disasters, yet, but I've been to a few with very poor planning- usually it's because they're not considering the experience from their guests' POV, and just doing what they want. The reception is a party you're hosting, and you need to cater to your guests...the ceremony is for the couple and should be all about what the couple wants.
