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

Worked a reception and an outdoor wedding in downtown Tuscaloosa. Less than 90 seconds before the bride walked down the aisle, trans am pulls out of a space across the street blaring, and I mean blaring, There’s Gonna Be a Heartache Tonight. Never found out if it was a disgruntled former lover or just a hell of a coincidence. Bride missed it but rest of the wedding party heard it loud and proud.

Was at a wedding where the future brother in law had his jacket off, backed into a candle and his shirt caught on fire.

My wife's nephew whole wedding was something out of reality TV.

These people did not have much money so I dont want to trash them for that but it will probably sound like it.

Rolled up on the wedding at a Church of Christ and all my in-laws were chugging beers before they went in and already several empties on the ground.

The church was very small, maybe 8 rows of pews. When the wedding started somebody reached over and hit the play button on the boom box and wedding march came on by some country band.

The Groomsmen and Bridesmaids every one had bad visible tats. Couple of the guys sported neck tats and the women were in strapless gowns with shoulder tats. I would say out of 8 maids and grooms at least 6 were chewing gum during the vows.

At the reception I was standing in the American Legion Hall and the back doors swung open and about 8 guys started dragging a pirogue full of ice and beer in like Egyptian slaves building the pyramids. When they got it where they wanted I asked them why they didnt bring in the pirogue and fill it with ice and beer insidet the hall and they looked at me like I was a Martian.

The good news is the Bride and Groom are still married and doing well. Both are good young people.

That's a wedding "tradition" that needed to die last year.

Was at a wedding once where the bride/groom had to kneel down and pray. When they did, someone had used whiteout on the bottom of the groom's heels - they said... HELP ME!

Childhood friend of my wife was getting married. The groom looked a little shifty, was standing outside smoking and shooting the shite with another groomsman while everyone was walking in the church. Halfway through the service, the groom walks down the aisle and out the door. Doesn't say anything, just leaves. The father of the bride gives him about 20 seconds, walks out after him, and drags his dumb arse back to the alter. They didn't last very long afterwards.

Not really that wild but Gary Plauche cooked the Jambalaya at my wedding reception. This is also widely recognized by everyone that was there as the best Jambalaya they'd ever had, even 33 years later.

I didn't drink, nor did my wife and this was a Baptist wedding with a reception at the church hall right next to the church. At the reception I kept seeing everyone walk around with red solo cups. I realized pretty quickly that we didn't have red solo cups at the reception anywhere.

My father knew we wouldn't have anything like that there and stocked a full bar in the trunk of his Lincoln and everyone was walking to the parking lot where my father had set up as a bar tender.

It was pretty funny.

What was the figjting about?

I don’t recall. Most likely alcohol fueled misunderstanding.

Ohh these are fun.

At one wedding I watched the father of a bride give a speech about how terrible of a husband and father he was, sharing some previous undisclosed scandalous info.

At another wedding I watch the mother and father of the bride(divorced) have a knock down drag out verbal yelling match in the middle of the sit down dinner
