So I was bored and scanning these forums and came across a thread from 2012 asking about the worst weddings you have ever been to. As I was reading these it triggered so many things that I was curious what everyone else has encountered. Instead of reviving a 7 year old thread I figured i'd start a...

The worst wedding I ever went to was a 4th of July wedding. I'm not huge on holiday weddings because if you break up that holiday becomes a bad memory for you (my aunt got married on new years and this is what happened to her and she hates new years now). Anyways holiday wedding luckily i had off but 4th of July fell on a Tuesday that year. I was a bartender at the time so my schedule didn't much matter but I'm sure there were other people not thrilled with this considering the wedding didn't start until 7pm. Some major things I remember:

1.)The worst thing I have to note is we were never made aware we had to pay to park. They chose a hotel close to downtown (which I enjoyed because we dipped out eventually and just hit bars) but they never informed us that to park on site of the venue it was a $20 parking fee because the hotel was also being used for 4th of July events. So we turned around and had to hit a bank to get money to pay for parking.

2.) B&G opted to do this at a hotel with a smaller banquet hall, while the venue was nice it definitely wasn't big enough for their guest list.

3.) Because it was so late they didn't do a real meal so all the food was appetizers (shrimp, toothpick sausages and things like that). Not a huge deal but ehh....

4.) Open bar that we were not told about until an hour before it closed.

5.) cake never showed up (not their fault but still didn't help with everything else). So bride was freaking out throwing a huge fit.

6.) no sound system so couldn't hear anything

7.) I don't think they really thought much through (it was pretty rushed) so it was all open seating which was a mess... and even after I found a seat for me and my "date" for the night we were bombarded with people surrounding us because there wasn't enough seating so people were hovering tables I didn't want to get up for fear I'd lose my seat.

8.) invitation didn't specify attire but after speaking with B&G I was told formal.. when I showed up I was so over dressed it was unreal and uncomfortable.

Lets hear yours guys! lets help future Brides and Grooms with some big no-nos lol

First off, I had been friends with the bride for like 5 years. I was on her B list for invites, which made me mad. The wedding was on a Monday. The vows were awkward because the bride and groom just winged them. The groom had a long and thoughtful vow and the bride stumbled over her words and only said like 2 sentences. Then we had a 2 hour cocktail-hour because the bridal party was taking pictures for so long. When dinner finally came there wasn’t enough food, and the food wasnt good. The DJ kept playing the same bad songs over and over (and nobody was dancing to them). Left around 945 and the bride said to me “Let me guess, you’re leaving already!”. Well yes, I was leaving because the wedding was on a Monday and I had work the next day like everyone else in the world. I also had given her a bridal shower gift and a card with cash at the wedding and never received a thank you note. Pretty tacky all around. We aren’t friends anymore.

The worst wedding I’ve ever been to (in my opinion) was this past June. The wedding was outside, which was fine, but the backdrop was an old barn that was literally falling apart. The attire was all over the place. Someone walked in wearing Shorts, a T-shirt saying “American rebel” on the back, and tennis shoes. I was in a long dress and my fiancé was in dress pants and a nice button up dress shirt. Talk about awkward! Then we get into the reception, tablecloths were plastic, drinks were severed in cans from coolers, like the kind you take camping (including beer) and they were pouring chips and pretzels into bowls out of large bags purchased at Walmart. To each their own, but it was just not at all what anyone had in mind. It felt very “thrown together” even though the had planned for 10 months.

oh and I forgot to mention the lag time between the ceremony and reception was a good 2.5 hours of us just sitting in the reception space and they were both in the same location.
