Probably the one in Liverpool where the pregnant bride told the groom at reception that baby wasn't his, and the actual father was in the hall.
The lasts guests to arrive were Merseyside Police when the fighting broke out, We were work colleagues of groom.

Hahahahaha!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Mine was a 'dry' wedding as the bride's family were serious teetotallers, and would not contemplate as wedding with any alcohol.
Shame that the groom's family were Irish / Liverpudlian and just brought their own.
Both sides upset, each felt the other was being disrespectful, and all then seemed to retreat further into stereotype - again - we all left as soon as we could!

The best man was a Goth. Heavily made up with piercings, whacky hair and a million tattoos, the matron of honour was vegan. Had been vegan for years and looked ill and drawn and wore clothing that resembled sack cloth.

One of the guests who was obviously not very happy her daughter hadn't been asked to be bridesmaid dressed her daughter in a bridesmaid dress and pushed her to the front of every wedding photo and the brides Mother cried secretly into her tissue. Everyone thought it was because she was so overcome with happiness but deep down she was so sad because she couldn't see the union lasting a year. She was proved wrong though as it lasted 6 months.

Oh and the brides Father...let's say he couldn't keep his gob shut.

Ermmmm how was she proved wrong then? The union didn't last a year if it only lasted six months!

I think the worst one I've been to was one where the bride's former boyfriend was in jail, and a friend of the groom. It was all very lovely - her family had clearly spent generously seeing their darling girl safely into matrimony, but there was a distinct whiff of doubt as to how long it would last from those who knew the groom & his pal.

That's what made it so bad. Her parents seemed to have no idea just how fragile many of us thought the relationship was. Yet the families went ahead and smiled & did all that was pretty, as if they could keep it together longer by abiding by every protocol.

Wedding had went very well up until speeches. Groom was surprisingly very nervous (he's a salesman and we were used to him being quite outspoken and confident) and so used a prepared script and kept it short. His parents are slightly older and so just gave a short welcome to the new bride and wished everybody well for the evening. Bride's father was similarly short and sweet.

The best man however did not follow the same protocol. his speech rambled on for about 15 mins and included some very crass comments about the grooms upbringing and homelife (as his parents were older and as he was the youngest, he probably had quite an old fashioned, sheltered growing up). He also made some very rude comments about previous girlfriends and the hijinx he and the groom had gotten up to in uni. He never once mentioned the bride and signed off with "Right that's my job done for the day...now lets all go getting f###ing f##ked"

We were there as the groom is a friend of my husband, and even he and the rest of his friends at our table were absolutely disgusted. When the best man came down past the table on route to the bar, he came over with a big smirk on his face, asking how good a job he had done...thankfully my husband told him exactly what he thought of him and his behaviour. I think he lasted about an hour at the bar and when no-one joined him for his drink, he spent the rest of the night in his room.

It really put a dampener on what was otherwise a lovely day.

Mine.
My husband to be was based in Germany in the army & didn't return to this country until two days before the event, but had lost his bank card, so we were unable to access any money until the morning of the event. (I was on a VERY low income and couldn't afford to pay for anything) None of his friends or family were at the wedding, as he was afraid that his mother would turn up and object to things (he's 10 years younger than me) so it was a VERY weird event. (and as he originated from Somerset, the other side of the country, it wouldn't have reached her ears by word of mouth. ) On the morning of the wedding, we ordered a taxi to pick us up and take us to the registry office, bought the rings, did a big shop so my nan could whip up a few eats for the reception which was held in her dining room, then my husband to be started drinking. He was drunk for the event, then carried on drinking and passed out on my living room floor on the night of the wedding.
18 years later, we are still married. But only just.
