    Unfortunately, mine was at my wedding. This guy who my DH had worked with for years and I have never met was horrible throughout the wedding. First he made the DH's dad late to the wedding by asking him for a ride from the hotel then not being ready in time. Then he took it upon himself to go up to the groom's suite with the dad before the wedding when we only wanted immediate family and maybe one friend, and he stopped the friend that my DH did want with him and told him he wasn't allowed in! My DH was so upset that guy never came to find out later it was this jerk who stopped him. After the ceremony we went out into the gardens to do photos. This jerk followed us then stood behind the photographer HECKLING us the whole time!!! I asked him to please go away and he just stood there. Then he heckled DH's friend who gave our toast *same friend he wouldn't let in to see DH earlier) I wanted to get up from the table and slap him!

    When I went around to people he wouldn't even look at me, he's very bitter towards women and marriage. I noticed that as our one videographer (a woman) was filming DH and I dancing he started pulling our her sleeve to get her attention away from us so he could hit on her. And he's actually still dating that girl!! And in the end, after him doing all of this to us and after him bragging at great length to my DH about his most recent raises at work, how he's making close to $200,000 a year etc....he did not give us so much as a card. There were a few guests who didn't give gifts...he was the only one that it offended me

    Laura that sound absolutely awful! Other than a few people that had a little too much to drink and had some trouble 'dancing', I've been lucky and never seen anyone RUDE at a wedding. I hope I don't EVER! Sorry you had such a loser mar your day. Sure makes you appreciate the man you got to go home with!

    The rude guest I saw was actually the FOB at his daughter's wedding. My best friend was getting married. Her sister (who is white) had recently married a great guy (who is black). Her father is racist and extremely disapproved (he did not attend that daughter's wedding). Well at my best friend's wedding, she obviously invited her sister and her sister's husband (the only one who disapproves is the father). When her father saw them arrive, he came busting into the bathroom where my best friend (the bride) was getting ready saying how he was furious that he (the BIL) would show his face here. My best friend proceeded to tell him that SHE invited them and that he WOULD NOT cause a scene on HER wedding day. It was awful. He upset my best friend so much. And some of the other guests heard because he wasn't exactly quiet. Her sister and husband are now expecting a baby, so hopefully that will be what it takes to make the father wake up and stop being such a racist when his daughter's husband

    Because the father (after 2 years) still disapproves and the husband is still not welcome in his house. How crazy is that?

    @jlacy-don't get your hopes up, if he is that prejudice, a baby probably won't make a difference. It's sad that people have to be that way. My Aunt was with a guy (black) for 20 years, she got pregnant, so they decided to finally move in together & after about 2 years he decided that he just couldn't take the racial issues anymore. Moved out and pretty much disowned his son (who doesn't look mixed at all) It's like WHAT???

    I think I can top it all. My sisters wedding... Her best friend who was her MOH got so drunk before the reception even started! Didn't even make it to the dinner! My sister was so upset, luckily one of her BMs stepped in to take over that position. Later, one of the BM and one of the GM decided to "get busy" right outside the reception hall and got busted by the police! Oh, and these 2 didn't even know each other before the wedding!

    @ jlacy a baby wont change him sorry to say my brother is mixed and his grandmother hates him and I dont like to use the word hate but she does, as far as she is concerned he isnt her grandson, hes not allowed in her house , his mom and my dad arent together anymore, his mom married someone eles (white guy) and his grandmother wouldnt come to the house as long as my brother was there.

    @Lil Bit WOW, thats all I can say

    I was at my cousin, Rachel's wedding ,and the groom's sister was drunk and was rude to everyone there and said she was a psychiatrist and wanted to talk to my mom about me because "I'm shy and wouldn't talk to her" and thought I had issues because of it, and she apparently offended a few other people when I talked to my aunt (She lives next door to my parents, it's my cousin's mom) and she apologized for the way she acted towards me and my mom but i told her it was okay I just bit my tongue and walked away because I didn't want to be as rude as her

    @Lil Bit and Shaunte, yeah I agree. Luckily the rest of her family and ALL of his family just loves them together, so they have all the support they need.

    Saw a bridal party get drunk on Jaeger or Goldschlager before the ceremony. At least one of the groomsmen passed out during the ceremony.

    My former boss spent too much time at the hotel bar before our reception. Invited a bunch of strangers to our wedding. I had to kick them and my boss out. That was the last job I had working for someone else.

    When my ex-SIL got married, her mother(ex-MIL) who doesn't drink, decided that the grooms father was drinking too much. Apparently she thought the best way to stop him was to take a bottle of Vodka from the bar and throw it at his head. Luckily for him she missed, but what a nasty scene!

    I wasn't there for this one but at DH's cousin's wedding someone brought this guy as a guest who got drunk and started harassing all of the women. After he started actually grabbing girl's butts some of the men asked him to leave. He pushed the one guy, took a swing at another and then my DH stepped in and decked him (which I can not believe cause I've never even seen him angry like that) It was quite a scene at a wedding with my DH ending up at the hospital getting his class ring cut off of his swelling, broken finger

    Ugh, my sister's wedding had the worst of the worst happen. Her MIL made a comment to my Aunt that only immediate family were allowed to sit in the front rows of the chapel, and my Aunt argued that she IS immediate family. They argued so much that they were asked to leave (had to wait outside during the whole ceremony). Later during the reception, my cousins were drinking and when the MIL was giving her toast were heckling her. It got so bad that after the reception, my cousins and the grooms family decided to start a fight and bottles were broken, people got injured... ugh. It was a mess, and the worst part is no one from our side of the family ever apologized to my sister, only the groom's side.

    I hate to say it but the rudest thing I've seen at a wedding was at my wedding. Our photographer was a friend of my MIL. She had 2 of my SILs helping her get everyone organized for the photos before the ceremony. Well my mom went outside to smoke cause they didn't need her right then and on of my SIL went out to her car to get something, somehow said this to my mom, "Yeah, we're only taking the important photos right now. We'll do the others after the ceremony since we don't have enough time now." The only photos taken before the ceremony were of my ILs, the photos of the wedding party, hubby with his guys, hubby with the bridal party, me with the guys and me with my bridal party, then some of me and my immediate family, and some of me and hubby. Needless to say my mom wasn't very happy with the comment. My photographer was kinda rude too. She just acted like she didn't want to be there.

    When my cousin got married the wedding was so blah that her son left to join a wedding that was in a reception room next door. Soon after many other guests left to join the neighboring wedding reception. I thought that was insane. But maybe that's just me. yes it was boring but people could have just gone home. And her son though at the time he was 10 should have done better.

    One of my mom's cousins wore her wedding dress to a wedding for her cousin or sister. I forget now but dang that was rude, she ended up looking so stupid though but it got her the attention she wanted.

    The rudest thing I saw at a wedding weekend actually happen before and after the wedding, more so than the wedding itself. I had gone down to Florida with four friends and a girl we were all tiring of very quickly. This girl, Marla, would not shut up the whole weekend, which wore on us, but then we got to the rehearsal dinner. She had nothing appropriate to wear. We hitched rides with the brides family, where Marla proceeded to complain in front of the bride's kid cousin that she hadn't gotten laid in a while. At the wedding, her bra was showing the entire time. At the morning after breakfast, she wouldn't stop talking about the bong at the pre-wedding party, again in front of the bride's family. And worst of all, when we stopped by the bride's house a couple of days later before we left, she told the bride that if it didn't work out, she knew a great divorce lawyer. Only one of the friends who went down with her no longer talk to Marla, but surprisingly the bride does!
