4."My uncle was getting married, but everyone in my family hated his fiancé. Right before their wedding, my grandma's (uncle's mom) phone died, and his fiancé had a charger."
"We soon found out that my grandma's phone was fully broken, not just out of power, so his fiancé said she could borrow her phone and put her details in to access messages.
We found out the fiancé had been cheating on my uncle for eight years."

5."The father of the groom got up to give a toast, which ended up being a six-page apology to his first wife (the groom's mom), practically begging her to take him back…while standing next to his new wife."

7."Not me, but a friend of mine attended a mutual friend's wedding. During the reception, a guest got up from the table and punched the bride."

My friend said she had to flee the reception."

"This was not disclosed to us until five minutes before our entrance."

10."The bride was older and 'finally' getting married. She made all of the single women stand up (she called out anyone who didn't) and announced that she never thought she'd be married, so they shouldn't give up hope. Everyone clapped. It was humiliating."
—terid614
11."This happened at a hotel I worked at when I wasn't on shift: The bride was part of a well-known criminal family (seriously bad stuff). On the wedding day, a rival family showed up uninvited and started shooting. Armed police had to end the situation, whilst staff were hiding under and behind furniture."

12."One of the groomsmen planned on asking his girlfriend of two months to marry him at the reception without asking the groom or bride beforehand. But fortunately (?) it didn't happen because they both got drunk and had a fist fight in the parking lot. (The girlfriend won.)"
—ethereal.violet
13."I was a bridesmaid with no plus one. The meal was open seating, yet there were NO open seats for me. It was buffet-style eating, but I wasn't sure when I was supposed to eat since I wasn't at a table, so I didn't eat, but I stood the entire reception to be supportive."
"Once the music started, I gave the bride my love/congratulations before I left, and she cried while telling me that I ruined her day for leaving at nine o'clock.
She hasn't spoken to me since."
—kaymivvh
14."The bride had a cell phone-free wedding. The ceremony was one hour because the bride was running late, and we put our phones in the basket prior to sitting. We could not access phones at cocktail hour and weren't allowed to get them until dinner was over. I waited three and a half hours before I could get my phone and immediately left."

15."Didn't make it a bad wedding, but at my bestie's wedding, someone dressed up, pretended to be a guest, and tried to rob the cards that contained money. The groom is a cop, so he spotted him, and the police were called."
—leaahhiggins
16."My cousin wanted a carnival-themed wedding with a limited budget. The DIY was impressive, but when I got there, my aunt (the mother of the bride) told me that my sister and I had the first shift running the cotton candy machine, and she forgot to tell me. Do you know how messy cotton candy is?"
"I was churning out cotton candy to ungrateful guests when I looked around and noticed all of the family members were working carnival games and serving food to acquaintances of the couple.
When I die, I have it in my will to make my cousin and aunt run a cotton candy machine at my wake."

17."My worst experience was my OWN wedding. We hired a restaurant to cater for 150 guests. Fewer than 100 people showed up. We told our caterers that a lot of people didn't make it, so they only served food once to our guests and took the rest home."
"THEY rationed the food, and HID the rest from us! My husband and I didn't know this happened because we were too busy. Everyone just assumed we didn't pay for enough food."

18."The groom said in his speech that the things he did in his past with his friends (us) were wrong and that he would be a new man now. We never saw him again."
—mandydevisser
19."The couple had a Trump impersonator come and make a 15-minute speech IN CHARACTER, prior to the election. It was only cut off because the best man told him to stop. 'Trump' also stayed to dance. It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen."
