A thread on Reddit posed the question: “What’s the worst thing you’ve seen happen at a wedding?”
The responses were sadly hilarious: from catfights, open bar doozies, ambulance visits and collapsing cakes. Here are some of the best horror stories:
“Groom got really drunk, trashed the suite, and got tasered by the police before being arrested”.-Najing_ftw
“During the best man speech, the best man proposed to the maid of honor. Totally stole the night from the bride and groom. Now the best man and maid of honor are in the process of divorcing.” – Keevan Goliath
“At the reception, the bride received a tip to go out to the parking lot where she found her new husband making out with his ex gf. The ensuing fight came inside the hall and the party screeched to a halt. Both families were displeased and stuck him with A LOT of bills. We kept our gift.”- Onejoke_username
“I was an attendant in my best friend’s wedding. Her father walked her down the aisle and while he was not visibly drunk, he had a hard time walking behind her to sit in the pew. He stepped on her dress ripping it from her back down to her ass (her thong was red). They had to stop the wedding so that she could find safety pins”.- 3Suze
“The groom was drinking heavily and by the time the cake was supposed to be cut, he was passed out at the back of the room. The bride was crying hysterically. Dad stepped in and cut the cake with the bride. Former Maitre d’Hotel.” – Rosiebelleann
“There was an 8 year old boy who had loads of confetti in his hand (I didn’t think much of it) turns out he thought it was sugar paper and ate all of it, he then proceeded to projectile vomit everywhere through the middle of the ceremony” – theorangepanda99
“At a cousin’s wedding my uncle was smashed and thought he’d had a stroke in the bathroom as he couldn’t straighten himself. Turned out he’d buttoned his waistcoat to his trousers and couldn’t stand up.” – Bo_Shuda
“My alcoholic cousin showed up at his brother’s wedding, threatening to kill the whole bridal party because he wasn’t invited. He crashed his truck into the steps of the church and got a few sentences out before he passed out face first in the aisle of the church. He hit the floor so hard and was so drunk that they thought he was dead. He ended up with a concussion and served 10 years in prison since driving into the church was his 3rd DUI offence.” – Taint_of_love
“I was one of 9 groomsmen in my friends wedding. When we stood on the stage during the ceremony the last groomsman in the line (the brides brother) was a good 30 feet from where the bride and groom were standing. Anyways, before we walked out brides brother says to me “man I gotta fart so badly!” Me thinking he was joking just told him to let er rip. About 10 minutes into the 45 minute long ceremony he did indeed let er rip but silently so. Due to the air conditioning in the church being on, it took a bit for the stench hit me. It was like a low hanging fog. Over the course of the next couple minutes I observed this putrificiant cloud overtake each groomsmen one by one until hitting first the grooms nostrils, then the priest and finally the bride who started gagging.” – Stink_Pizza
