    Luckily my in-laws are great and they stepped in and handled the situation before anything could happen and before I took time to notice anything but apparently some of my mother's family had told my mother (who was uninvited due to previous bad behavior at important events) the time, location and directions to get to the wedding. So I guess she showed up to the reception, my inlaws told her that she wasn't welcome there and that she and her guest (she apparently brought some strange guy with her) should leave and after watching her exit the hall, I guess her and her friend tried to approach the BM who was outside getting something from his car and asked him if he would like to buy some drugs and possibly do them right there in the parking lot, he sent them away and I guess before they left he heard them saying to a few people that were still arriving at the hall that my wedding was "a waste of time."

    Actually I didn't witness this but this had happened at my parent's wedding. Mom's half sister was her MOH and MOH's daughter was Mom's flower girl. Well at the middle of the reception, the photographer and mom's MOH got so drunk that they drove off. Left the young daughter behind that my mom had to take care of her and was so furious that there would be no more pictures because photographer left so soon. Next day when my parents was opening gifts with their families, someone knocked and mom answered it. There was her half sister in bridesmaid dress with torn tights and asked for her daughter. That woman got married five times and that flower girl refused to ever get married now because of her mother. UGHHHH can't stand people like that.

    Witnessed it at someone else's wedding: The FOB had originally agreed to pay for the dinner reception but some time before the wedding, the bride and FOB had an argument which resulted in him pulling out of the deal. So, with no money to cover it on her own, the reception ended up being a "dessert only" one - cookies, cheesecakes, punch, etc.

    During the Father-Daughter dance, the dad takes out his gold credit card (Really? You're going to boast a "gold" cc?), licks the back, and sticks it on his forehead.

    What a whitetrash asshat/asshole move.

    Unfortunately the rudest guest ive seen was at our wedding. My husbands brother's wife caused problems from the start. First she threw out the invite and kept asking me for all the information over and over. They didnt book anywhere to stay and then she complained when they had to pay more since they booked the day they came in. Then she decided my BM didnt like her so didnt want to come to the wedding. They arrived halfway through the ceremony dressed like they were in a country bar with her wearing a dress the same color as my BM's almost (despite the invites and wedding site saying it was formal) then after the ceremony she handed their baby off to everyone else. Including putting the baby on a seat next to the photographer taking pictures and walking off so the photographer ended up holding the baby. Then when she was told she couldnt drink (she's 18) she chucked a mental even though id told her months before she wouldnt be able too. She never said one nice thing about the wedding.

    All she said was im glad your color was blue so I could wear my dress. They didnt bring a card or anything to the wedding. She then told her husband loud enough for my MOH to hear "I cant believe thats her MOH she is way too fat to be in a wedding" mind you the SIL was twice my MOH size.

    So i haven't been to a wedding in a really long time. As of right now with my wedding the rudest thing someone has done actually happened last night. Well my FIL, BIL, and his GF asked about what time is dinner going to be at. So I told them Ceremony is at 5:30-6:00. Then we have pictures till 7:00. Reservation was made for 7:00 because matt and i will be taking out portriots till 7:00. SO then I told them we wont be arriving till almost 7:30-8:00 so dinner will not be ordered until we get there =]]] Well they through a bitc* fit!! because matts stupid brother wouldn't take the day off the next day. so he has to drive from san diego to bakersfield (4 hours) This is not their wedding. So i made the comment well just eat a late lunch. I can't help it that we are having a late dinner. Not too bad of rudeness but it hit a nerve with me last night

    Well, this was at my brother's wedding, and I can honestly say, I don't recall it, but my mom told me about it (I was 14/15 when they got married)I am going to try to explain this as best as possible with out offedning anyone:

    It came to the speeches and my parents finish theirs and my SIL's parents get up there and her dad starts off by saying how much money he had to put out for the wedding and going on and on about Native peoples rights, struggles, etc. My parents put out alot of money for the wedding, more than hers, so my parents were not impressed with his money speech, not to mention how it turned into a lecture about how white people treat the natives. I can't remeber the speech word for word, I even asked my mom about it and she refused to go into detail about it..so that kinda shows you what he said.

    The worst thing that comes to mind right away is a couple of years ago, a couple from our church renewed their vows. Well at one point they went up by the pulpit area to do their unity candle or communion or something and the groom's mother got up from her seat, WALKED UP TO THE PULPIT and was taking pictures with a disposable camera completely getting in the way of the photographer they hired! She either didn't notice or chose to ignore the nasty looks the photog was giving her. Talk about complete and utter disbelief. Who does it?!

    I got one but its not half as bad as some of these other ones. At my first wedding my then FH's ex was coming because they were good friends (i didnt care at all- she was crazy) well they were coming in from MI and we only invited her and her hubby. well they came here and stayed with family but decided to bring their new baby after I told them no kids with them to the wedding... she showed up in a sun dress (in late October it was cold) and he was wearing cargo shorts and a tshirt and skater shoes. they looked horrible considering every other man was in a suit or at least a button down shirt and ties and women in kinda fancy dresses. Then she kept following me around all night trying to get people to hold the baby and would give me (the bride) the baby and walk away. she was passing the baby off on anyone who would hold her. One of the groomsmen even asked her hubby why he wasnt dressed up and he said he didnt feel like it!

    How about a rude guest before they RSVP? My father asked if I would invite an old friend of his who happens to be an English professor. As a courtesy to her and out of respect for my father, I sent her invite out early. This B&$%##$ responds to my father with the following:

    I recd the invite today and thank you for putting me on the list however there is a SERIOUS error didn't (me) read them? I'll give you a hint its the first line....

    OK so the first line of my invite reads Mr and Mrs xxxxxx and Mr and Mrs xxxxx is the second line. The SERIOUS error this heifer was refering to was the fact that my mother is deceased and I did not follow etiquette to refer to my Mom as the late xxxxx. I was so on fire lets just say it was not a good two days. Bottom line my FH father is deceased too but, I don't want to look back at my invites to be reminded that my mother couldn't be there so a middle finger to that chick and a middle finger to etiquette that I don't want to use!

    I don't know if you can consider this rude or weird or both, but after my aunt and uncles wedding we kept finding pictures of some guy no one knew. (Everyone was asked who he was. Literally no one knew him.) We blew it off as a party crasher until 5 years later when we had a special family gathering to celebrate them coming home (my uncle was in the military and had been stationed over seas) Well the same guy shows up and just sits outside watching us all for a long time. So finally a couple of my relatives go out to find out who he is and he leaves before they get over there.

    That's horrible libragurl!! I was at a wedding that we all knew was a "shot gun" wedding and some people were not happy about it. The father of the groom gave a speech and he said "Let's talk about (baby's name) because she's the REAL reason I am here" WOW! My mouth just dropped open. He continued to say a couple more things implying that his son was only marrying her because she got pregnant. it was rough to listen to

    She is a pretentious b*&^%$ that's why. I was so upset you couldn't have put me out with a fire hose. Now she can follow etiquette and send a no rsvp with a check...how about that one! Stinkin snob.

    Lol. some of these are hilarious. And Rosie that was crazy. Color of Love maybe it's a relative that no one remembers or has excluded at some time and through time his face as changed and folks don't remember who he is. My family is huge and it's normal to come across someone that you haven't seen in 15 or 20 years who was wronged and still feels bitter about it but not enough to not show up. And maybe he's looking for someone to remember that he's there. Too often there are people at celebrations that get excluded from the celebration even though they are invited and show up. Next time you see him at a family function stop him. I bet he's probably some distant cousin that people have forgotten about.
