1. "I'm a DJ and enactment astir 20-30 weddings a year. During 1 wedding, the groom was wasted earlier the extremity of dinner. When the dancing started, helium started grinding connected his champion antheral arsenic a joke, past connected 1 of the groomsmen, past connected his ain aunt, past connected a bridesmaid who looked precise uncomfortable. The bride had been aggravated with him each nighttime and mislaid it erstwhile she saw him bash that. She started screaming astatine him, past grabbed his sleeve and pulled him outside. I didn't spot them for astir of the night. We skipped the archetypal creation and the barroom cutting, but the bride resurfaced to propulsion the bouquet. She started drinking and turning up with her friends, but I didn't spot the groom for the remainder of the reception. I yet saw him extracurricular erstwhile I went to load up my equipment. He was talking angrily to his dada and idiosyncratic else. The likelihood weren't looking excessively bully for them."
2. "I'm a destination wedding planner, truthful I usually program everything by email and telephone calls. I lone conscionable the mates erstwhile they get astatine the destination, astir 4 days earlier the wedding. The time they arrived, I welcomed them and fto them rest. The adjacent time was our meeting, and I was waiting for them astatine my bureau astatine the edifice wherever they're staying. I received a telephone from the receptionist, who was crying, and she' telling maine however the groom's ma is wild, telling maine she locked her successful her country due to the fact that determination was nary premium vino marque successful the freezer (that is decidedly not included). And erstwhile the receptionist went to the country to effort to calm her down, she conscionable locked her in. The bride came into my bureau crying; meanwhile, the groom was obscurity to beryllium seen. She said she hated her MIL and that the groom was drunk for a full day, truthful she couldn't person him to beryllium astatine the meeting..."
"I asked her if she wanted to effort again later, and she said we should bash it now. We checked the wedding plans together. They stated they didn't privation a rehearsal for the ceremony, truthful we conscionable went to the venues to spot everything. The groom showed up astatine my bureau 5 hours aboriginal for the meeting, drunk, truthful I explained that we already had it, and helium near precise mad.
On the wedding day, the bride cried the full morning, talking astir however overmuch she hated her MIL and however chaotic she was. I checked everything similar I ever do, I'm a small sargent erstwhile it comes to times and planning. The groom was obscurity to beryllium seen, disconnected with the remainder of his family, portion the bride was acceptable successful her country with her bridesmaids, and her household was astatine the venue. But we couldn't commencement without the groom. 30 minutes later, I recovered the groom; helium was astatine different venue, drunk and aggravated due to the fact that determination was nary setup for his wedding.
I took him to the existent venue, and we started the ceremony. The bride was crying (again) and wanted to enactment region betwixt them. After the ceremony, helium blamed maine for being drunk, and his parent yelled astatine me. The bride approached america to calm the situation. She got deed by the MIL, and the MIL didn't apologize; she really told her it was her responsibility for being successful a atrocious temper and that she deserved it.
Fast guardant to the dinner, and the groom is adjacent drunker, and the bride is obscurity to beryllium seen. I searched for her to spot if I could help. 30 minutes later, I asked the edifice unit if anyone had seen the bride, and they guided maine to the beforehand desk. She near the edifice connected her wedding nighttime and flew backmost location the adjacent day. The groom and his household were angry, and somehow, each of this was the resort's fault.
They asked for a refund aft the bride, by telephone the adjacent day, told that groom she wanted a divorcement and said it was due to the fact that she 'didn't similar the wedding.' Two months later, they were divorced, and the bride pressed charges against the MIL because, successful the divorcement hearing, she attacked her."
3. "I worked successful a unsmooth arsenic hellhole edifice barroom successful Rotherham, UK, and loved moving the weddings. I person 2 stories that volition decidedly extremity successful divorce. A mates who some had big kids from antithetic partners were getting married. I served the groom's son, past the bride's daughter, who began arguing astatine the bar. The bride's girl threatened the groom's lad into a combat outside, and helium accepted the situation and fought her. So she called her antheral person to travel astir and combat him. They were met by the bride, who was furious that her girl had called up lads to clang the wedding, truthful she grabbed a vessel and glassed a guy."
"Another time, the groom came from a affluent family, and his wife's household was a spot unsmooth astir the edges. He seemed similar an alright bloke; nary of his household turned up to the wedding. Literally none. His code was a spot sad, thanking the radical who bothered to crook up..."
4. "I worked arsenic a wedding lensman galore years agone and took pictures for 1 mates I'll ne'er forget. The wedding was for a person of my roommates, and she was a precise saccharine woman. Her fiancé, not truthful much. I ne'er spent overmuch clip astir him, but helium was an ego-driven 'conservative values' antheral who ne'er showed those astir him overmuch respect. At the ceremony, which was rather ample and lavish, the preacher began the vow-reading portion. He pulled retired the husband's vows and said thing to the effect of, 'You person chosen to work the Ephesians 5 scripture.' There was a loooooooooooooong pause. 'This is simply a bold choice, and I privation you to cognize that conscionable arsenic it says, 'wives taxable to your husbands' the Bible besides says, 'husbands beryllium loyal to your wives.' I don't retrieve his nonstop biblical phrasing, but the constituent is, this jerk chose the publication successful the Bible astir women being submissive to their husbands arsenic the ONLY vow to read."
"Thankfully, the preacher gave him a mini lecture successful the mediate of the ceremony, portion trying to marque immoderate veiled jokes to interruption the precise awkward hostility successful the room. I retrieve telling my roommate aboriginal that time that they would beryllium divorced successful nether a year. And they were — 3 months aboriginal — for each the reasons you mightiness imagine."
5. "I'm a wedding singer. It was an unseasonably blistery time astatine a venue with nary aerial conditioning. The clip comes to dance, and nary of the astir 100 guests privation to beryllium wrong connected the creation level (understandably). The bride got up to creation aft meal arsenic we kicked off, and she was virtually the lone 1 connected the creation floor. One of her bridesmaids joined her aft 2 minutes (an eternity) due to the fact that she felt atrocious and didn't privation the bride to beryllium alone. We heard done the planner that the bride didn't adjacent privation a large wedding. She said yes to her husband's tendency for a bash, but the lone happening she truly wanted to person was a band. So she's retired determination dancing with 3 oregon 4 people, and her hubby couldn't beryllium bothered to articulation her. I saw him locomotion by, chatting with assorted people, and astatine 1 point, helium had a drill successful his manus to spell hole something? Basically, thing but articulation successful connected the lone happening she recovered pleasurable astir the event."
"He was chatting with idiosyncratic adjacent the creation floor, and she went implicit to get his attention. I saw her inquire him to dance, and helium wholly blew her off. He didn't adjacent halt his condemnation — helium conscionable benignant of shoved her manus away.
It was truthful sad. She was truthful crestfallen that she stopped dancing and went outside. We played to an bare country for different hr and a half."
7. "My woman has been a wedding photographer, and I've helped her retired from clip to time. At 1 of the archetypal weddings we did, I got this truly atrocious vibe from the bride. I couldn't rather spot my digit connected what specifically acceptable it off, but if I had to guess, I would astir apt pin it connected my extended family, galore of whom could beryllium extras successful Deliverance. I conscionable ended up with a sixth consciousness of these things. I told my then-girlfriend (now wife) that I didn't deliberation they were going to past precise long..."
"Sure enough, a fewer months later, my woman is contacted by the parent of the bride for the wedding photos. She asked wherefore the bride didn't interaction her astir it, arsenic she'd tried to scope her a fewer times, and the parent conscionable said she's been 'indisposed' for a spot and asked if she could conscionable nonstop the photos to her. I got into Google mode and looked up the bride, and aft a spot of digging, I recovered an apprehension study from Florida 3 days aft the wedding (where they honeymooned). The bride was arrested for publically assaulting her caller hubby portion drunk and putting him successful the hospital."
8. "The bride was the explanation of a 'Bridezilla,' forcing america to marque accommodations for things we bash arsenic escaped courtesies. She got it successful the end, but not earlier she made my beingness hellhole for a week portion I was temping successful the office. We acceptable up her array successful our ballroom, on with the tables of 4 different couples, each arriving astatine antithetic times. My sister was her coordinator, and I was the butler connected staff. The bride stole flowers from different couple's table, past got huffy erstwhile I took them back. Then she and her hubby started moving their mouths to their coordinator, who they loved and didn't cognize was my sister, astir however I tried to archer them nary and enforce institution policy. My sister called maine implicit and introduced maine arsenic her babe sister; they instantly apologized. But the crushed we knew they were headed for a divorcement was that the bride got wasted astatine her tasting due to the fact that 'it's escaped and I privation to cognize everything connected your bar's menu.'"
"Within an hour, the trips to the bath started. Each clip she went, the groom would not conscionable flirt but aggressively deed connected each pistillate successful the ballroom.
The time of the wedding comes around. The groom got into a combat with a groomsman who shattered 1 of our solid doors that led into the courtyard. The bride got drunk and spent astir of the nighttime crying successful the bathroom. The groom ended up hooking up with a bridesmaid successful the limo, wherever helium was caught by his mother, which seemingly sparked the combat with his groomsmen.
They didn't adjacent past the afloat honeymoon. The bride and her parent returned 3 days later, demanding a refund due to the fact that they were having the matrimony annulled."
11. "I was a peculiar events planner 10 years ago, and yet near the wedding manufacture due to the fact that it's horrible. I did a wedding for a mates wherever it was beauteous overmuch an arranged marriage, the groom was intelligibly gay, and the bride talked CONSTANTLY astir however she was marrying into money, and adjacent if they divorced adjacent week, she was set. The groom's vows were tragic, and helium looked similar helium was speechmaking a crab diagnosis. Their buss is everlastingly etched successful my caput arsenic the astir uncomfortable happening I've ever experienced. It wasn't ace unconvincing, but you saw SO galore radical springiness each different weird looks oregon marque jokes, to the point, the videographer had occupation editing the ceremonial to beryllium convincing."
"The reception was fundamentally groom broadside and bride side, with hardly immoderate interaction. They skipped the archetypal dance, and the barroom cutting was conscionable the bride and her bridesmaids for immoderate bizarre reason. At immoderate constituent aboriginal successful the evening, fractional of the groom's wedding enactment disappeared, and the groom ne'er returned.
The bride got truthful drunk she peed successful her gown. The bride's begetter loudly called the groom a horrible connection I won't mention. They didn't past the year, and the bride hired maine to bash an lawsuit aboriginal successful the twelvemonth showcasing her caller apparel line. Apparently, she got what she was after."
12. "I'm a photographer, and I’ve changeable 3 weddings — I hated them (bless the radical who bash it). Anyway, astatine 1 of the weddings, the groom called the bride unattractive (she was stunning and had modeled — helium was cute, but successful a generic way). He kept taking shots of vodka with his boys and asked for a full-on photoshoot with his mom. He was decidedly a mama’s lad due to the fact that his ma was hovering the full clip (and you cognize it’s atrocious erstwhile his ma suggested helium instrumentality photos with his wife). He told maine to STFU each clip I redirected, truthful aft the 3rd clip that happened (and flashed maine his junk?), I started packing up. When helium started yelling astatine me, I told him nary 1 talks to maine similar that, and I’d nonstop them a refund. I knew close past the matrimony wouldn’t last."
"He started crying and said he’d 'behave.' However, it didn't matter, arsenic the matrimony was annulled 2 weeks later. No 1 wanted the photos, but I was paid successful afloat for them.
When I offered to refund the bride's dada fractional anyway, helium said the bride knew erstwhile the groom yelled astatine maine and cried that it wasn’t going to work, truthful I earned it. I conjecture the full fam was trying to get them to telephone it off."
14. "I was a wedding coordinator astatine a state club. I besides sold and elaborate these weddings, truthful I knew the couples from the precise opening and shepherded them done the full process. This was successful agrarian North Carolina, truthful plentifulness of young 'kids' (in my 27-year-old eyes) were getting joined earlier they could legally drink, which weirded maine retired plenty. But the 1 that truly gave maine intermission was this truly sweet, beauteous miss who was with this wide douchey guy. He came to the meetings but acted wholly disinterested the full time, actively dismissing my questions with 'I don't care' oculus rolls. Now, not each groom is 100% involved, but it ever bothered maine erstwhile they explicitly said they didn't care. Dude, this is your wedding too, and you're spending a not-insignificant magnitude of money. Maybe effort to unreal you're funny alternatively of attending meetings to rainfall connected everyone's parade?"
"He was the worst. The main incidental I remember, and which I deliberation I powerfully recommended against (or astatine slightest nixed), occurred during the ceremonial planning. He wanted the officiant to inquire the 'speak present oregon everlastingly clasp your peace' part, astatine which constituent the groom planned to look astir menacingly portion moving his suit overgarment to exposure the weapon helium would person successful a holster.
I DEFINITELY nixed the gun, but I look to retrieve him inactive doing the menacing look during the ceremony. I could conscionable beryllium remembering the rehearsal, though. In immoderate case, I got large reddish emblem abuser vibes from him.
I retrieve being truthful bittersweet for her. She was 1 of the nicest brides I had worked with. I besides recovered retired that she had been large earlier the wedding, but I judge it was ectopic, truthful she had to terminate it, and she was understandably devastated. It was conscionable an all-around bittersweet thing, and I felt similar I could conscionable spot into her aboriginal of ne'er leaving the tiny municipality wherever the nine was and surviving with a perchance abusive jerk forever, and it made maine truthful sad."
15. "I'm a wedding video editor, and arsenic I’m going done the footage for this 1 occupation years ago, it got weirder and weirder. The cameraman asked the groomsmen for their thoughts connected the mates arsenic they were getting ready. They each seemed uncomfortable, sporting awkward smiles. They took turns wishing him luck and providing immoderate cliché advice. The cameraman asked the groom, 'Are you excited!? How bash you feel?' He smiled awkwardly and said, 'Good.' His assemblage connection said helium didn’t privation to beryllium determination astatine all. The groomsmen patted him connected the enarthrosis successful support, but it had much of an 'I’m sorry, bud' vibe."
"They had their reception successful a precise fancy, well-known, costly hall. The country was 2 stories precocious and immense with marble columns. It could person easy acceptable 300+ people, but determination were less than 100 guests, which made it look strangely empty. There was nary amusive enactment vibe for the bulk of the reception. The temper was much similar an eighth-grade dance.
The dancing was the astir awkward part. During the archetypal dance, they kept arsenic acold isolated arsenic imaginable portion holding each other’s shoulders. Both looked similar they were being forced to beryllium adjacent each other.
Later, the groom danced with his friends, and the bride danced with hers. At 1 point, the bride and her friends made what I tin lone picture arsenic a grinding line. Clearly, she had nary occupation being adjacent to and grinding up connected her friends. Then idiosyncratic physically grabbed the groom and pulled him implicit to the bride. This impermanent pushed the 2 of them together, and they repelled each different similar magnets. They were truthful uncomfortable being truthful adjacent to each other. They didn’t cognize however to interact with each other. It was truthful bizarre."
17. "I DJ'd a wedding 10 years back. It was a reasonably emblematic wedding, with a modular reception. They were kinda kooky, but I thought it was each successful bully fun. I got the gig done the bride's younger sister, who was a person of mine. I ran into her aboriginal and asked however her sister and caller hubby were doing. 'Not great,' she said. It turns retired that the time aft the wedding, the groom took each the checks and currency they had been fixed and went connected a buying spree. Best Buy, Guitar Center, Dick's Sporting Goods, REI, and different akin stores. He spent astir $5,000 successful 5 hours and blew each their money. I don't retrieve everything helium bought, but the astir ludicrous happening that sticks with maine is the acquisition of two iPod Touches. One for music, and 1 for audiobooks. It was each for worldly for him. I deliberation helium got her a backpack astatine REI. She was not into the outdoors."
"They were some successful their mid-thirties, with established careers. His reasoning was that this was 'extra' money, and present that they would beryllium combining their incomes, they could walk more.
I mislaid interaction with the sister, truthful I person nary thought if they're inactive together. But if they are, it took tons of therapy and compromise."
18. "I’m a wedding photographer, and the archetypal reddish emblem was however overmuch flipping wealth they were spending. They had aggregate venues, 1 was a play resort. Really fancy schmancy. You could person bought a truly bully car with that benignant of wealth (or made a down outgo connected an costly home). The 2nd reddish emblem was erstwhile I showed up to instrumentality the getting-ready shots astatine their house; the husband’s household was truly bully to me, astir treating maine similar a household friend. Whenever the bride was brought up, his household would look astatine maine and marque a look oregon rotation their eyes, evidently not blessed with his prime of lady. It seemed implied that since they already had a kid, that I conjecture helium haaaaas to get married, which was benignant of sad."
"I had fractional a caput to archer him that helium didn’t person to get joined if helium wasn’t happy. Which I whitethorn person implied precise gently. Not professional, I know, but she was benignant of a monster, not conscionable the time of, but adjacent after.
In my opinion, she treated her caller hubby poorly. Right aft the ceremony, they were outside, and she was already yelling astatine him astir something. I conscionable checked, and they’re inactive married."
21. "I utilized to thrust a limo and did a fewer weddings. One Saturday afternoon, I picked up the bride and groom, the champion man, and the maid of honor. The mediocre groom has his limb successful a afloat formed and is immobilized with a alloy rod. It turns retired helium had shattered it a week earlier portion riding an ATV. They each get successful the car, and the bride-to-be starts ragging him hardcore, telling him helium is specified an idiot, helium has ruined the wedding, and helium is specified a loser. She is not letting up and not letting go. Obviously, she was alert of the injury, truthful it wasn't a surprise. She was conscionable utilizing it to driblet F bombs and different unwholesome words successful his wide direction."
"I propulsion up to the church, and she and the maid of grant leap retired and spell into the church. The champion antheral asks if helium inactive wants to spell done with the wedding, and the mediocre schmuck says yes with the enthusiasm of a sleepy sloth.
I conscionable wanted to say, 'No, dude. Don't walk the adjacent fewer years with that witch.' But helium was getting retired of the car by then. I don't cognize however it turned out, but I americium definite it wasn't good."
22. "Audio feline here. The groom passed retired not erstwhile but doubly during the ceremony. Like lasting there...gee, this feline isn’t looking well, BAM. Groom connected the deck. Smelling salts, we get him up. Get him immoderate h2o and orangish juice, get done the vows, and yep...here helium goes again, but not arsenic bad. How astir we conscionable beryllium down connected the steps and decorativeness the ringing ceremony? The full time, his brother, the champion man, has that look, like, 'I truly should conscionable scoop and tally with him retired of here.' The mediocre bride has the worst look connected her face, like, 'Oh my god, what bash I do?' Six months later, it was over."
25. "I heard from a wedding planner that the bride and her bridesmaids went done astatine slightest 10 bottles of champagne the greeting of the wedding, and were ridiculously drunk. Two of the 3 bridesmaids fell and had occupation getting up connected the mode down the aisle, and the bride and the maid of grant made it down the aisle, but with large difficulty. The groom was fundamentally holding the bride up for the entirety of the ceremony, and she loudly refused to beryllium successful a chair. The wedding planner said the mates had argued the nighttime earlier implicit whether they were going to portion earlier the wedding. The groom wanted to enactment sober until the reception, but the bride disagreed."
"The wedding planner said they had a monolithic combat successful the limo connected the mode to instrumentality pictures, which the bride's broadside of the wedding enactment was successful nary signifier to enactment in, truthful they skipped them. The lensman ended up doing a goofy sprout with the groomsmen, arsenic they had already paid for the photos. The bride and bridesmaids sat successful the limo drinking.
At the reception, the bride fainted, and the groom delivered an apology code to the guests. Then, helium took an Uber location alone."
28. "I'm a matrimony celebrant. A fewer years ago, I was marrying an 18-year-old and 19-year-old, who I deliberation tied the knot due to the fact that they had a baby. The groom's enactment and his parents arrived, proceeded to unfastened drinks from the backmost of the cars. The venue proprietor was going bananas due to the fact that they were a licensed venue and couldn’t person others bring their ain intoxicant onto the site. They didn’t deter them, and they got precise drunk precise quickly."
"Eventually, I went to spot the groom's ma to inquire her to assistance halt them from drinking, explaining I couldn’t wed a drunk person, and his witnesser besides had to beryllium sober. She told maine to unbend and that determination was nary occupation with it. Being capable to telephone into question someone’s quality to recognize what they are entering into is simply a precise large occupation here.
The bride turns up, sees the drunken incidental going down, and is aggravated and upset, reasoning the groom had to beryllium drunk to wed her. Ultimately, it proceeded. I had to postpone for 2 hours to sober up the groom and his men. I was covered successful snot and mascara from the bride sobbing into my shoulder. They didn’t adjacent past 3 months."
