re: What was the wildest thing you witnessed at a wedding?

The lead singer in the band got drunk at the reception and aired all of his personal business, culminating with him singing Love Stinks and being punched by the brides father.

A hipster wedding. They tried to pack as much edgy and weird as they could into it.....and it was a train wreck.

It was held at a tiny avant gaurd art studio.... and by art I mean people making lamps our of barbie doll parts to make a statement and shite like that.... this place was never meant to be a venue... it had a tiny back room... as they set up for it the entire wedding...maybe 50-75 were crammed in the art gallery....at times you were legit stuck where you were... we enter to room to about 10 folding chairs which we were told were only for older people...everyone else stand.

Ceremony starts and its some guy playing acoustic guitar just riffing. At one point the bride was walking down the aisle to the French national anthem until the guitar player hit a bad chord and just stopped...dead silence... which js how the walk finished. The minster...of course some 20 something yo girl started
With, we are gathered here today to celebrate a little thing called life" you could feel the collective eye roll.

After that ceremony we were told to clear out back to the gallery while they set up the reception.... after 30 minutes of waiting arse to arse again, we were allowed bsck in where the same 10 chairs were now surrounding 2 folding tables...that was it that was the set up.

And the food... great idea on paper... got the local super hip Mexican soul food joint to cater... a roast pig... but remember this is an art gallery...not a venue.. no kitchen, so these vatos were hand shredding a whole pig carcass middle of the dance floor and just pounding it on paper plates.... was it good...sure when you coukd take a bite. But since we weren't elderly we got no table so me and my wife took turns eating..stabding of course..id hold her drink while she ate a few bites then wed switch.

Oh and the bar was semi open...if you ordered a beer from the local IPA keg they had... once that was tapped place CLEARED out. I kinda felt for the bride cause it was clear noone was having a good time...even more clear when word got out the free beer was done and a line to get the hell out of that tiny place formed. I looked back to see the bride desperately trying to tug people to the dance floor as they were trying to leave... worth mentioned the dance floor at this point had room for about 5 people total. The wedding favor was... a knitted dooilie.

The guy is totally off social media so who knows these days. She is very active and all of her posts revolve around liberal politics. Last I saw of her she was at a shreveport parade w a huge saying she'd help anyone interested access abortion rights

Stood in a buddy's wedding in Golden Meadow. At the reception, a couple of rough looking bikers walked in, trying to start a fight. Evidently, they were at the wrong wedding. The brides Dad and brothers, who looked fresh off the shrimp boat, walked em out and proceeded to fighting. ??

One of my dad's cousins got married to the niece of a mafia boss. Her dad did not get into the family business but her uncles and grandfather were there. It was crazy to see a lot of those guys depicted in the 90s wave of mafia films.

Was the girl from meridian? I believe it is Carlos Marcellos’s brother that moved there to raise a family and stay out of the family business

my hair caught on fire as a bridesmaid. It was the 80's..big hair and lots of hairspray. As we were going back down to the pews my hair got caught on the candelabra and caught fire. The bridesmaid behind me slapped it out and we continued on. The bride (a tall, thin beauty) also fainted stiff as a board and straight back at the alter.

The kids lighting candles at a Jan 6th wedding caught the alter on fire because the greenery left over from Christmas was kind of crispy.

I had another wedding in Mississippi where we had a seamstress make the dresses. We got those dresses the day of the wedding and mine was the only one that barely fit. All were about a size too small. There was a quick change out of dresses immediately after the ceremony to the bride's dismay but c'mon it was so bad how tight they were on all of us.

Women wearing white dresses to signify their purity

Nothing super crazy that I can remember.

When my cousin got married in the early 80s, the groom was pretty active in the Atlanta street hockey scene and played with several guys who had been members of the Atlanta Flames. A bunch of the guys brought their sticks and created the military sword arch with them as the happy couple left the church. They also picked up a couple of the little sachet bags of birdseed and were shooting them around the parking lot after the ceremony.

A good friend's sister got married at her mom's house (big house, lots of acreage). Beautiful ceremony and amazing reception all there at the house. Several of our old highschool group came because she was like our little sister. About 2 hours after most everyone had left, they find one of our old friends passed out in the downstairs bathroom. He had puked on himself, collapsed against the toilet, partly broken off the tank and semi flooded the room.
