I've never actually seen anything tacky at weddings other than some wedding guests who looked totally out of place (one really honestly, looked like a hooker)
The most awkward? A tiny skinny bride, in a HUGE heavy satin dress, she was sobbing uncontrollably shoulders hunched, all...the...way...down...the....aisle. It was almost like a scene from a movie it was so dramatic and awkward looking.
I went to a wedding that started at 12 and the ceremony ended around 1. We all went down to this room where they had nuts and mints. We waited two hours for the bride and groom to be finished with pictures/announced and then they cut the cake. I have nothing against cake and punch receptions but we were all expecting lunch to be provided. They didnt tell anyone it was only cake and punch. So needless to say I was starving and bored.

I went to a vow renewal where the groom and his men wore wrinkled shirts and pants that were too short; Their shoes didn't match their outfit either. :-/
One friend had a backyard wedding @ her parents last summer. Everything was beach-themed, they rented a tent, open cabana bar with margarita machines...and an unsanded plywood dance floor. It was in 2 separate pieces, about 30 ft on all sides& stuck out like a sore thumb. If my feet hadn't hurt so bad, I would've kept my shoes on; I was seriously afraid of getting a splinter in my foot!
The invitation said BYOB and people rolled coolers into the reception. I wish I was making this up.

During her toast, the bride expressed her disappointment in the number of gifts she received, and advised everyone she'd opened the envelopes and was very angry at the amount of money she received. She then went to the guests who gave a check and asked that they give cash as she was not going to have time to deposit and it clear before they went on their honeymoon.
And like Crystal, I really wish I was making this up.
Now, I haven't been to the wedding YET but my brother in law is getting married in December. They had called off their wedding and now it is back on (big drama) after canceling all their vendors and other arrangements. They are having their wedding at a moose lodge. Since the wedding is 4 days from Chrismas they will have Santa, a tree, and Christmas lights decorated all over the lodge. Think strings of lights strung through elk and moose antlers. The bride also said she bought twinkling snowflakes to attach to her wedding dress because she wants to be "the snow princess" *rubs forhead*
I don't really know if it was tacky, but I was a BM in a St. Patricks Day wedding in which the cake topper was the bride and groom passed out with empty bottles around them .
I cannot believe some of these things you are all saying! The worse has to be the bride complaining during the toast...WHO DOES THAT?! Even if she was completely trashed?!
I haven't witnessed anything that I would call tacky...yet, but I'm sure it will happen eventually. I haven't been to a ton of wedding either though; most of my family didn't have weddings (eloped). I am the first in my immediate family to have a "big" wedding.
I got the tackiest wedding story that will make all of your stories seem like it's a normal every day event:
I was in a wedding last year and a guest wanted to bring a family she was staying with but was denied by EVERY member of the immediate family. Well she decided to pull the bride off the dance floor and ask if this family member could come, The bride said no and then told her to leave. She said she wasn't leaving and the bride told her to leave and then a screaming match started and another girl stepped into the middle of the bride and the guest and next thing I see is a punch being thrown to the guest who stepped in and then arms and punches every where, the two girls punching lost the top of her dress so they both were fighting with boobs flying every where!
Well then a groomsmen tried to step in to break up the fight that is now in the parking lot of the country club and the GROOM starts to throw punches at his groomsmen so now a guest and another guest are fighting each
Forevermylove, if I was a guest and she did that and then asked me for cash in place of the check, I'd be like "Sure, hand me the check back" Then I'd rip it up in front of her and leave.

Before my cousin's reception, guests were forced to watch an hour long... yes, an hour long video montage of photos and videos of the bride and groom as they grew up. this is after making people wait 3 hours for them to arrive and be announced in order to eat!
i missed the best part!! since the groom's family is italian, they had "bodyguards" all around the venue as well.... watching...
Other and now the groom and the groomsmen are fighting each other.
Next thing you know the one guest and the bride are going at it, and the town cops, the sheriff and the state troopers are all being called and on their way to the reception.
FH and I left ASAP after we heard this. and passed all the cop cars flying down the road as we were pulling out.
And then the following day it was posted on Facebook that the bride and groom couldn't have asked for a better day and their day was perfect. WHAT
needless to say this was the TACKIEST wedding I have ever been invited too and been apart of. I was embarrassed!!!
I couldn't make this shit up even if I wanted too!
Oh and the guest who was asking for others to come was the brides cousin!
Not sure if this is tacky or just insane but at the end of my cousin's wedding I went up to her and said, "Congrats again Suzy! Oh wait! I mean Mrs. Smith!" My comment was meant in a cutesy way. She’s married and I was saying that. It wasn’t a commentary on feminism. It wasn’t my opinion on life choices. It was me trying to be cute. Clearly I failed. “What do you mean Mrs. Smith? Why would you automatically assume I’m taking his name?” Silence. “Suzy, I didn’t mean anything by it. I just meant…yay…you’re married!” She was pissed and started screaming at me (during her wedding reception) about being anti-women. She's nuts but this was amazing even for her. Cut to two years later and thankfully she didn't take his name because they've split.
