Wedding gone WRONG!!

Where should I start!! I got invited to a wedding and the list of don'ts are long. I plan to get some take aways from this wedding and I hope you all do too. First of all it was pretty tacky but I'll hold back because the things that make it so are my opinion and preferences to certain things. So...

Where should I start!! I got invited to a wedding and the list of don'ts are long. I plan to get some take aways from this wedding and I hope you all do too. First of all it was pretty tacky but I'll hold back because the things that make it so are my opinion and preferences to certain things. So here we go. The bridal party showed up an hour and 15 minutes late to the church. The ceremony ended at the start time of the reception (full mass). The venue was 40 minutes away. So everyone showed up about an hour late to the venue. They didn't start serving passed hors d'oeuvres until 45 minutes after that. The appetizers were very skimp like ppl were asking the waiters for additional pieces and they said they couldn't. There was hardly any dancing because the Dj was bad and the bride and groom had multiple performances done by ppl they knew which took up dancing time. The bar was open bar but they only had 3 types of vodka 1 tequila and rum. Continued in comments

    This wedding will make it into the "worst wedding stories" recalled by a big crowd of people for years to come. Especially that last table just getting served when the lights were cut to get the hell out.

    Ugh. I wonder if they just planned really poorly or whether things literally just went one bad thing after another. I suspect the former, but it's my nightmare that all of the planning just goes out the window with a series of things gone wrong.

    Any idea why they were late in the first place?

    And I'm sorry, and hour and 15 minutes late is unacceptable.

    Wow! I wonder if the couple though that it's okay to do that to guests...specially no dinner, beer or wine...

    The first wedding I ever attended sounds almost identical to this one, except not all of the guests got dinner because apparently they decided not to feed plus ones and were asking people to share plates with their +1.

    @Tia&Lee That is just horrid. It would take a lot for me to walk out of a wedding but that would probably tip me over.

    @ Tia & Lee I literally gasped after reading your comment.

    @ Madelyn D not sure why they were so late but rumor has it, it had something to do with the 10+ bridesmaids and junior bridesmaids getting ready plus a dash of traffic.

    'not sure why they were so late but rumor has it, it had something to do with the 10 bridesmaids and junior bridesmaids getting ready'

    And there you have it. How absurd and impractical to gave a bridal part of that size. I would've thought you'd just been to one of those god awful Duggar weddings but they wouldn't have had alcohol of any kind.

    Luckily we only know the parents of the groom so almost no cross over @ Kate R
