One of the most unfortunate incidents I’ve witnessed at a wedding occurred when the groom accidentally tripped and spilled red wine on the bride’s pristine white wedding gown. It was an incredibly awkward and embarrassing moment for everyone in attendance. Moreover, the photographer’s camera malfunctioned as they were about to capture the couple’s first kiss as a married pair. Consequently, this unexpected series of mishaps added an unexpected layer of stress to what should have been a joyous and memorable occasion.
Powerpoint
A Reddit user once recounted an extraordinary wedding tale featuring a staggering lineup of 12 speeches, 2 musical performances, and even a PowerPoint presentation. The detailed narrative provided by the user shed light on the lengths to which some couples and their guests go to make weddings memorable and filled with diverse forms of heartfelt expression and celebration.
Another person asked, “Did this happen to be in California? I attended a wedding with this set up in 2017.”
The Wrong Song
A user shared a personal account of their brother’s second wedding on Reddit. During the first dance, an unexpected hiccup occurred when the DJ accidentally played the wrong song briefly before promptly rectifying the error with the correct one. Following this incident, the bride went missing for approximately two hours, as she believed this mishap had marred the entire wedding celebration.
A Redditor on the thread added, “I wonder if he’ll hire the same DJ for his third wedding?”
A Special Journey
An unfortunate incident occurred during the wedding when the bride stumbled and tumbled down a steep embankment, resulting in her getting covered in grass stains. This unexpected mishap added an element of unpredictability to what should have been a seamless and joyful celebration.
“Public service announcement: if this ever happens to you, be sure to yell “Aasss youuuu wissshhh” on the way down.” one Redditor joked, referring to the Princess Bride movie.
The Tantrum Setter
At their cousin’s wedding, the bride took her dress upstairs for photos in an elegant archway. This unexpected move caused a considerable delay for the groom, who found himself confined to the bathroom to avoid catching a glimpse of the gown. His reaction was nothing short of intense, creating a palpable sense of discomfort among the guests. As the years passed, it became apparent that the groom’s behavior had taken a concerning turn, with a prolonged period of unemployment, frequent outbursts, specific preferences about food temperature, and an ever-growing fear of venturing beyond the home’s confines. In hindsight, one could argue that the decision to marry him might have been the most regrettable aspect of that wedding.
They added, “He screamed so loud his face went red and his head shook from side to side so hard he lost balance once because his KFC sandwich went “soggy” once while I was visiting. But at the wedding he loudly proclaimed the dress pissed him off from the day she found it; it took up room in the closet, he had to listen to her dress story, it cost money, and now because of the “stupid” dress he had to wait in a small room so it could have it’s “own photos, so it’s STILL getting attention and it’s a stupid dress””
A Heartfelt Piece of Advice
As the father of the bride accompanied her down the aisle, he unexpectedly remarked, “it’s not too late to run.” This unscripted comment was audible to everyone present, injecting a surprising and somewhat uncomfortable moment into an otherwise solemn and joyous procession.
“My MIL said this is my husband’s brother’s about-to-be-wife as we were all about to go into the wedding venue (city hall). They divorced after a couple of years after they had a threesome and she decided she liked the other guy more.” one Redditor told their story.
Religion and Booze
At his cousin’s wedding, the groom had married into an exceptionally devout religious family. During the lively after-party, someone mischievously spiked the punch, prompting one of the religious guests to take drastic action. To cleanse the room of the perceived sin of alcohol, this individual ignited the table and punch bowl, creating a chaotic and intense moment amid what should have been a joyous occasion.
“Even Jesus flipped a table or two in his time.” a Redditor added.
Cactus
My wife and I had reserved a quaint hotel in Nicaragua for our wedding venue. A noticeable pause ensued as I initiated the music to commence the ceremony. Suddenly, just around the corner, a frantic voice exclaimed, “MY VEIL IS STUCK IN THE CACTUS!!!!” Our officiant, one of my closest friends, and I shifted from bewilderment to uncontrollable laughter, a moment beautifully captured in a sequence of photographs that now hold a special place in our wedding memories.
“That’s one of those inside jokes you spring on each other in mixed company 37 years later and no one but you knows what the hell is going on” laughed a user on the thread.
The Bridesmaid and the Groom
As shared by a Reddit contributor, a rather controversial and potentially awkward situation unfolded during a wedding when the husband was observed passionately kissing a bridesmaid on the dance floor. While some attendees might have been aware of the couple’s open relationship, it’s highly unlikely that more conservative family members like grandma and Aunt Carol were privy to this arrangement, underscoring the potential for unexpected revelations during family gatherings.
A user asked, “Jesus, why even get married? Like wouldn’t you have at least some rules set up, like no “making out with other girls at our wedding”?”
Fisty Cuffs
In a Reddit post, a contributor recounted a rather unsettling experience they had to intervene in: breaking up a physical altercation that erupted between the groom and the mother of the bride. Such an unexpected and distressing incident undoubtedly cast a shadow on what was meant to be a celebratory event, underscoring the unpredictability of human emotions in emotionally charged situations.
“Ah, Greek wedding, then?” asked one user with another adding, “My Big Fight Greek Wedding.”
An Unexpected Departure
In a concise Reddit comment, a user shared a momentous and unexpected occurrence: the bride’s water breaking during a wedding ceremony. This abrupt event surely added an unexpected layer of urgency and concern to what should have been a joyous occasion, highlighting the unpredictability of life’s significant moments.
“… in sickness and health–SPLOOSH” said one person on the thread while another added, “That’s a cliché sitcom episode.”
The Brush-Tail Possum
In a Reddit post, a user recounted a rather unexpected incident at their cousin’s wedding. According to their description, a sizable brush-tail possum unexpectedly dropped through the ceiling during the festivities. Quick-thinking bartenders used brooms to guide the creature into a supply closet behind the bar. Subsequently, security was contacted, and they contacted a professional pest removalist to ensure the possum was safely and appropriately handled without causing undue disruption to the wedding proceedings.
“I would be ECSTATIC if this happened at my wedding, only if the possum was unharmed of course” exclaimed one user.
Food Poisoning
Upon their arrival at the church and settling into their seats, an unusual atmosphere permeated the venue. However, they initially paid it little attention. As the scheduled start time elapsed with no ceremony in sight, one of them eventually turned to a friend, casually remarking on the tardiness. To their surprise, the friend disclosed that the entire wedding party had fallen victim to food poisoning following the prior night’s rehearsal dinner. This unfortunate incident affected bridesmaids, siblings, parents, the bride, groom, and everyone involved.
Consequently, the couple had to improvise and host an impromptu ceremony at the bride’s parents’ house, accompanied by a brief address from the pastor to fill the time before the reception. The couple’s brief appearance at the reception marked the extent of their involvement, leaving everyone to reflect on the cruel twist of fate that had befallen their special day.
“One of my cousins ended up in hospital with food poisoning on what was supposed to be her wedding day. The wedding never happened. My mum has a bit of a crackpot theory that my cousin’s mum intentionally gave her food poisoning so that the wedding would need to be postponed.” added another user.
Excitable Dancing
The bride fell while dancing during the reception, resulting in a broken left arm. The incident was documented with numerous photographs, as the photographer accompanied her to the emergency room. Interestingly, he dressed in a suit when the doctor learned he’d be setting a bride’s arm. The medical team worked diligently to reduce swelling, ensuring that the bride didn’t need to have her newly acquired wedding ring cut off. It was a remarkable and unexpected turn of events during what should have been a joyous celebration.
“Omg I love that the photographer tagged along and I would absolutely have one of THOSE pics blown up and framed in a prominent spot in my home bhahahh” shared one user.
The Drunk
In a personal account shared on Reddit about their own wedding, the user recounted a challenging situation involving their mother-in-law (MIL), who struggled with alcoholism. Despite their request for her not to consume alcohol, she disregarded it. To complicate matters, the user’s father-in-law (FIL), accompanied by his new spouse, was present.
As the reception drew to a close, the MIL became severely intoxicated, leading to a dramatic incident where she attempted to strike her ex-husband with a champagne bottle but accidentally knocked herself unconscious. The aftermath saw the couple deciding to take her to the police station, ultimately leading to her spending the night in detox. Reflecting on the Reddit community’s reaction, the user acknowledged that their story was relatively mild compared to others.
A user added, “Problem took care of itself, great!”
Matron of Honor
In a Reddit post, a user shared a memorable wedding anecdote involving the matron of honor experiencing a sudden bout of nausea, resulting in her vomiting right as the officiant inquired if anyone had objections.
Another Redditor said, “My brother was in a wedding where as the bride said I do, the groom threw up all over her due to the bachelor party the night before.”
