Worst wedding you have attended

That was awful

July. Texas. Outside ceremony and reception. VIPs got to be inside.

Cash bar, not enough seats, no real meal, drunk and "stripping" groom. No honeyfund thank god, or it would be the Mecca of bad weddings.

Dry wedding. No cocktail hour- guests had to stand outside and wait for them to flip the room. Only drinks were water and lemonade and there was barely anything to eat. Guests were so hungry they swarmed while the couple cut their cake so they'd get a cupcake. People left early so they moved up their grand exit a couple hours.

My fiance and I attended a wedding a couple of years ago. We drove from NYC to Jersey- it wasn't terrible. It was actually pretty quick. The ceremony was inside a church that didn't have heating so it was so cold inside. They didn't have any microphones/ speaker system so we couldn't hear anything. Once the ceremony was over, cocktail hour started 2 hours after. Since we obviously didn't want to drive back to the city, we ordered drinks at the bar of the hotel. The appetizers were cold. Food was meh.. Worst of all, we found out that we had to pay for valet parking after the entire evening.

There wasn't enough room for all the guests to sit during the ceremony so half of us stood outside the room (which was mostly glass walls) and watched from outside the room, standing for the whole ceremony. There was very little alcohol and the DJ only played 80s music so no one was dancing. We left after the cake.

Swamp wedding! 95+ degrees in July, all of the guests were seated in a circle around the swap and there was a little dock in the middle were the bride, groom and officiant stood. Bugs were everywhere!

There was also no alcohol

I guess I've been lucky, I've really enjoyed all the weddings I've been to. Even the dry (Mormon) wedding, where they hosted the heck out of their guests and I left full of delicious food, relaxed and super happy.

@Orchids I've been to several Mormon weddings and they are all usually pretty fun!

I went to one for an old high school friend. To start with, she had had to buy her own engagement ring and they had shifted the date 3 times because he kept getting thrown in jail for theft.

The day finally arrived (after 3 facebook events and status updates with the details) and it was really sad.

I got asked on the day to video it for them and to bring my digital camera, because they'd like me to take photos (And no, I have no idea what I am doing with taking photos or video)

My sister was a bridesmaid so she was off-site. I arrived and stood around with the brides family offering to help. They all were laughing because the bride was texting asking if the groom was there. (My sister later told me that she was in tears because nobody was replying and she thought he might have run away again).

The wedding started and the officiant had one of those hotel dossier as his folder and it still had all the adverts etc in it. The ceremony lasted 90 minutes where three sentences were said about the bride.. the rest was all about how great the groom was and that she was a "lucky lady"

The food was self catered and the drinks.. There was enough for one RTD each for the girls, the beer was reserved for the men. Her MOH didn't want to do a speech for her, so my sister did.. then his Dad stood up and spoke about how he was going into hiding for a while because "I'm not saying I was a part of the murder.. but I.. I do need to go away for a while" - and then threatened that if they weren't pregnant by the time they returned, "Imma f***king murder you boy, hahaha"

Ohh, and the groomsmen all ran around with the left over pig head from the spit roast.. screeching and oinking. The groom got really drunk and passed out on a couch and the bride was found cleaning the kitchen because the men had left the greasy pig skin on the floor and she didn't want to get charged for the mess.. so, yea...

My cousins wedding this past April.. let me start with how her fiancé posted a spreadsheet with all their "budget" info set at $15000. K, cool that's their business, but post it on Facebook??? Her wedding shower a few weeks before the ceremony.... she was writing out the envelopes to hand out invites at her shower. Asking people to fill out the rsvp and give it back to her so she didn't have to "waste" a stamp.. I didn't even get an invite because she had to give it to someone else she forgot to add on her list! Then she asked my mom and other people to "sponser" her wedding because they couldn't afford certain things.. a week later the new Jordan's came out... she posted on Facebook, "4hrs l8er and out $500 we finally got us all some new jordan shoes!" WTF! So I told my mom she better not give her shit! Flash forward to the wedding... ceremony started about 40 minutes late.. as the bridal party was walking down the aisle, there were literally 50+ cell phones in the air trying to take pictures... the bride started walking out.. you would have thought you were at a concern if lighters in the air!!! Not only were they taking photos (you could hear the camera clicking sound) they were shouting "Go DS" (her initials) so the vows start... after every thing the groom said guys in the crowd yelled "" you better say that louder bro!!!! She gonna make you remember that one!! You're stuck now!!!!" Omg it was sick....

Reception: the food---it was buffet style... idk if it was a caterer but if it was GROSS.. I ate rolls all night.. the mashed potatoes taste like cardboard... they had chicken that was soaking in something but it smelled like wet dog. Veggies that were cold.. ugh it was just gross..

One groomsmen was passed out before dinner was even served..

the speeches.... oh god the speeches... idk even know what was said they were that god awful! Slurring. That is all..

The DJ... we asked for them to play Garth brooks friends in low places.. it came on.. I went up to the DJ and said this isn't Garth brooks.. he said yes it is... I said this is a knock off.. was a tribute band!!! All you could hear was bass... nothing like hearing "pu**y this fu*king that " etc etc etc all night long... that's all they played!! I'm pretty sure a groomsmen got to second base on the dance floor too...

The bridemaids ugh... all the girls had on v neck dresses and none of them knew what bra to wear.. my mom had to keep telling them to pull their dresses up because they looked like sleeze bags (she doesn't care lol)

The groom... he was hunched over in a chair by the dance floor by 7pm... throwing up on the dance floor and himself... while people took selfies with him.. then came time for their first dance!!! The bride had to hold him up... and then she couldn't.. and then they both went down.. luckily he didn't have a concussion ( or maybe he did idk)

Cash bar.... the only thing they had for free was water , water with lemon, water with lime, or shots of Hennessy .... because that's all the groom drinks.. so that's all he wanted to serve for free!

WORST WEDDING EVER!

Oh my, Wendy. That's sounds truly terrible.

I've never experienced that bad of a wedding; however I attended a wedding where the best man gave a toast basically calling the groom weird (it was super awkward because he clearly didn't know the guy that well). Then, the dancing part of the reception was held in a small basement and was just played on an iPod. A lot of the college aged kids danced. The older people just stood around. Also, I never received a thank you for my gift (which isn't horrible, but it is rude).

A wedding in a snake handling baptist church. Bride had just turned 18. No music (only a CD player) and the reception was self catered in the church hall. Homemade lasagna and 2 liter bottles of Pepsi. Halfway through, they ran out of Pepsi. Couple danced to I don't wanna miss a thing. Groom changed into denim baggy shorts and a black wife beater and cowboy boots. Best man snuck in a flask and passed out. It was a shit show. They did not last; thank goodness.

ETA: I stayed for the whole thing because the bride was a close friend. I also caught the bouquet....

@Lela I don't even want to touch that shit show.

OMG @lela.. That's insane!

It was the first wedding FH went to with me and met a lot of my family at.... let's say I apologized all night because I was so embarrassed for my family..

WOW these weddings are insane!!! I haven't gone to any that bad. I only have 2 really cringeworthy stories:

- Catholic wedding, the priest goes up to do the homily. Now the bride is Italian and Catholic, and the groom is English and Methodist. The priest says, "Usually I advise my brides to ask their mother-in-laws for their favorite recipes, but since Mrs. ___ is English, that's probably the takeout menus." DEAD. SILENCE. I looked over and the groom's family was steeeeeeeeeeaming.

- Small wedding (40ish people) with SIX speeches. The two groomsmen who spoke just keep going on and on about how many PROBLEMS the couple have overcome, without any specifics, and then the groom's godmother goes up. Apparently she's a marriage counselor and her entire speech is just a plug for her book (which she had given the couple, their dog ate it, so don't worry, she brought another copy).

Again, both weddings were beautiful, wonderful experiences, properly hosted, but those two things stuck out like sore thumbs.

1. The bride invited 200 people over the venues ceremony and reception site capacity.

2. They for some reason didn't think all 300 people would go to the ceremony so they only seating for about 50. To make it worse the area they were getting married in with all the chairs was in a room that was not really open to the rest of the barn so those 200 or so people that didn't have a seat had to stand without seeing anything for 45+ minutes for the suppose to be 15 minute ceremony. Guests were trying to get a better view so some went out and stood in the rain at the side doors. Even doing that you couldn't hear because there was no mic.

3. The guest sitting had to pick up their chairs and carry them in the rain to the eating tent

4. They had a big tent to eat in but in was pouring so getting to the tent soaked us

5.About half of the tables in the tent were at such a slant that our glasses were sliding.

I could go on and on but it was really the only wedding I've been to that I was like wow...this is why you choose your guest first!n

I was in a wedding about 10 years ago. The bride was a co-worker of mine. We met up at her house around 8am. The wedding was supposed to start at 3pm, ended up being 6pm. She made him wait 3 hours at the alter for no reason at all. She just said "if he loves me, he can wait"

My date told me the church was packed but, everyone left after waiting too long. He left after their vows.

Once we got to the reception, they had us waiting in a room. I was hungry and tired so I snuck out and hauled ass home.

Wow these are bad. Mines really not that bad. My cousins wedding, which was years ago now. The ceremony was 2 hours long. Then the reception was 45 minutes away. Then they took so long taking pictures that cocktail hour was almost 2 hours long. So 5 hours after getting to the wedding we're in the reception. Food was okay, not great. But really wasn't horrible.
