“Ditto”

Not a bad thing that happened for me, just really awkward.

Went to wedding of someone from my church a few years back. When it came time to say the vows, he pulls out a sheet of paper and reads on for like 5 minutes, getting really intimate and pouring his heart out to her. It was kind of awkward tbh. But the icing on the cake was her response. When he was done, she just giggled loudly and awkwardly and got out “ditto!” That’s it.

That was her wedding vow. So freaking awkward.

The Drunk Uncle

At a cousin’s wedding my uncle was smashed and thought he’d had a stroke in the bathroom as he couldn’t straighten himself. Turned out he’d buttoned his waistcoat to his trousers and couldn’t stand up.

The biggest no-no of all

During the best man speech, the best man proposed to the maid of honor. Totally stole the night from the bride and groom.

Now the best man and maid of honor are in the process of divorcing.

The bride and groom DID NOT know this was going to happen. No one did.

Someone catch Grandma!

At my own wedding reception, I saw my wife’s grandma, who was about 98, very slowly and with a terrible sense of inevitability fall sideways off her chair.

She remained in a sitting position but just slooowly tilted sideways til she was on the floor, still in the exact same pose.

It sounds shitty but all I could think was “Please don’t die at our wedding please don’t die at our wedding”

Luckily she was fine, and lived for another few years to see her 100th birthday.

Not a great first night as man and wife

One of my best friends weddings.

The groom got so drunk that he straight disappeared from the reception. Sh*t got real awkward when it was time for the wedding to be OVER.

The venue was kicking us out and the bride and groom were supposed to take off in their vintage car and drive off to their honeymoon suite. The music went off, lights went on, and it turned into the guests searching for the damn groom.

My husband finally found him in the parking lot basically face down on his lips. He helped him back into the wedding which was basically the most awkward walk of shame past the bride’s glaring dad and grandfather.

The groom was too drunk to drive brides grandfather drove them to the hotel suite (which was a 30 minute drive).

My friend (the bride) later told me that when they got in the room, her new husband, passed out cold on the bed and she had to wander the halls in her wedding dress looking for someone to unhook her dress for her so she could get out of it.

The ultimate sore loser

For the bouquet toss, a middle-aged guy forced his middle-aged girlfriend out onto the floor, then stood by her so she couldn’t leave.

The bouquet was caught by an excited little girl. The guy proceeded to yank the bouquet out of the little girl’s hands, gave it to his middle-aged girlfriend, then ran off the floor cheering loudly to high-five one of his buddies.

The little girl ran away crying.

Mother of the Groom in white

Mother of the groom showed up in white. Bride took her shopping weeks before and thought they had found a blue dress that made MOG look beautiful. I wish to this day I had thought to spill my wine on her and force her to change.
