This is the most boring/worst wedding ever:
The wedding was supposed to start at 2.00, and didn't start until 2.45. While we were waiting there was the generic slide show playing and the same song on repeat for 45min. The ceremony lasted 20 min (thankfully). We then waited an hour and half for the wedding party to take pictures. While we waited there was ZERO food, punch and water. Then came about the worst best man speech. They cut the cake and we bailed. If the bride/groom were not close friends we would have left early.
Oh and the kicker the cake made both my wife and I sick!

About 40 years ago, wedding held in a gas station in Krotz Springs, LA. I'm not kidding.
Please elaborate. Was there a story behind the reason it was at a gas station? Was it the owner's daughter or something?

My cousin. He and his missus are very devout Christians. Translation: no alcohol at the reception.

No alcohol and a harpist for entertainment... Longest three hours of my life..

Dry county, small town, protestant, north Louisiana. The reception was in the church basement with finger foods, cake, and punch. Everyone took pictures and left.
Second worse was small town, dry county, non-denominational, central Kentucky, but that one at least had decent food. Neither had any music to speak of.

Two that come to mind, but the reception at one made up for it.
One was just a boring wedding I went to with my parents back in high school. Old family friends, and their daughter was getting married. The bride had her maid of honor, and the groom had his dad as best man. But no others in the wedding party. So there wasn't the usual processional. They just seated the parents and grandparents with ushers. But the southern Baptist preacher delivered a 30 minute sermon. While the bride and groom were standing at the pulpit. Just awkward all around. The ceremony was over an hour because of that. They had written their own vows, and I think the bride rushed through hers because of how long they had been up there.
The other was a catholic wedding. Some girl my wife worked with at the time. We went because it was late summer and we didn't have anything going on that Saturday night. Dropped my kid off with parents and we got there and realized how long it was going to be. There was a very lengthy prayer where everyone had to kneel on the knee pads. This wasn't even the priest marrying them, just someone else in the ceremony. I think a family friend. I remember it was a 7 minute prayer. Then some more of the ceremony, some music, and then communion. Except we're not catholic so we couldn't partake, but instead had to kneel the entire time while the rest of the catholics there participated. That took about 15 minutes. But they had the reception in a large space at the Hoover Met. Food was awesome, open bar, some live music, and it lasted several hours. I think my daughter just ended up spending the night at her grandparents because we were out pretty late.

Cousin's wedding was in a campground just across of the Atchafalaya....no food, no reception, no booze, nothing.....the second it ended several of us headed back across the basin bridge and detoured down to NO....it got a lot more fun after that.

I've only attended Catholic, Episcopalian and Jewish weddings. So the answer is I've never attended a boring wedding.

Most of them are tied for first.

we must have been at the same one in Minden. Groom's dad was the methodist preacher that did the ceremony. I had to drive to the "other side" of town to find a pint of whiskey to sip on during the reception.

I went to a full Catholic wedding once and there was no alcohol or music at the reception. That was seriously one of the worst days ever, not to mention worst wedding ever
The whole reason you sit through the boring arse Catholic wedding is because you know they will party at the reception. Not these fricks.

A full catholic mass is a nightmare. I got married in a methodist church and I am pretty sure our entire ceremony was 15 minutes start to finish.

went to a GRANDE catholic wedding in Mexico City with this girl one time. 2-1/2 hour mass, no lie. BUT, the reception lasted till 4am with roasted pig and bottle service at your table.

I've only been to Indian weddings in India. They are nothing like what you all describe for Evangelical christian weddings. Both the wedding and reception are both fun. I am going to another one in August as my cousin is getting married. I was surprised at how much they spend though...shite is like $400k for the one in August. I could never justify spending that much.

You don't have to kneel.

I was in a catholic wedding with a cash bar and no band/dj. It was horrible. For mine, I opened the open bar before the ceremony even started. All the groomsmen got wasted and jumped into the lake.

Catholic wedding. Bride got emotional and messed up her vows so she had to start over again.
It lasted for over 3 hours
