My officemate’s sister is getting married so we always swap stories. She just had her sister shower and the grooms side of the family started off by taking 2 or 3 favors to start…… so some people, mostly her family didn’t get a favor. Then they drank as much liquor as they could and it was brunch!! Then to top it off they tried to steal the frames off the table that had the table numbers on them. They stopped them before they did it because they were owned by the restaurant!! She said she was positive their purse were filled with bread breakfast products too!!!
Soo funny!! Anyone else have any funny wedding stories??
One of my friends who got married recently actually shipped back a wedding present to the person who sent it.
They sent it with a note telling them that they didn’t normally make fondue or even like it and that if they could return the fondue set gift and give them something else, that would be wonderful.
Apparently the couple didn’t get a gift receipt with the fondue set, but how rude to you get?!? I have never heard of anything so tacky in my life!
I friend of mine had a lingerie shower and for some wierd reason its the tradition in her family to model what she gets, so out she comes in thongs and nighties! she had a great body to do it, but it was a little outrageous for me, she wants to now throw me a lingerie shower and says I have to model too! OH HELL NO! I completely and totally hate my body, and refuse to show it to pretty much anyone, and I just don’t really think its appropriate!

Well, I think the whole garter tossing thing is tacky…but my personal experience on this makes it even worse. It was at my cousins wedding and I caught the bouquet…you’ll never guess of all people who caught the garter???
My grandfather. There’s nothing worse than having your grandfather put a garter on your leg. Fortunately, it got as far as my ankle and I did the rest myself. Ugh.

My sister got married last fall and wore an ivory dress. Her mother-in-law wore an ivory, flowing pantsuit the exact same color as my sister’s dress. One of the more outspoken bridesmaids went up to her and said "So, you’ve never heard of the no white (or in this case ivory) at weddings rule?" She had no idea what she was talking about. What a dunce. The photographer spent the rest of the afternoon planning the picture poses so that my sister didn’t have to stand directly beside her mother in law.

In a wedding that I attended last summer, not only did the bride and groom smash the cake in their faces, but the bride (under 21) drank herself silly and passed out in the middle of the dance floor for everyone to see. She was helped up and she slept the rest of the reception on a chair.
HOW EMBARRASING! Her mother works with me and didn’t know where to hide… poor thing.
Good luck

They started doing karaoke!

ok…I think I got this one.
MY WEDDING SHOWER: My husbands boss’s wife was there as was his secretary. My aunt threw me a VERY elegant brunch at a lovely tea hall.
It was there that the wife decided to confront the secretary that she had JUST found out this girl was having an affair with her hubby.
There was hair pulling, name calling and collateral damage that we needed to pay for and send them the bill for.
WEDDING DISASTERS:
I was at an ex - boyfriends wedding…invited by the bride. He wore a silk scarf I had given to him. (YIKES)
When they asked "Does anyone here…." He turned as did his bride to look at me. He said…"last chance D"
I sunk into the pew next to my fiance.
Then….to finish up the evening…their bridal dance was to "You’ve lost that Loving Feeling!"
They were married six months…..no time to tell you about his SECOND wedding!

Back when I was getting to know a good friend of mine, she was showing me the pictures from her wedding. I noticed in the groom’s family picture there was an older woman in an extremely bright pink and black skin-tight mini-dress that didn’t go past her mid-thigh area with her curly hair pulled up in a messy ponytail. I asked her if she was her husband’s older sister. She rolled her eyes in disgust and said "no, that’s his mother". I was completely shocked! I then asked if she’d changed clothes before the pictures. She said "no, that’s what she wore during the ceremony. I could have killed her". Can’t say I don’t blame her!

This is a tradition in rural Minnesota. At the wedding dance, the bride’s oldest, unmarried sister has one dance, called appropriately, the "wash tub dance" where she dances in a washtub.

My fiance’s aunt takes the cake. At his sister-in-law’s (the aunt’s niece-to-be) shower the favors were wine glasses; one per guest. Big, nice ones. Auntie dearest took all of the glasses from her table (including the groom’s mother’s) then, when the bride was opening gifts and her bridesmaids were helping, she swiped all of theirs!! NO, WAIT, IT GETS BETTER. She took a big bag from a gift the bride had opened to put all of her (16) glasses in. She then proceeded to take tissue paper out of UNWRAPPED GIFTS so she could wrap up her glasses!!
BUT WAIT, THERE"S MORE…..her son just got married in October. They (the aunt and uncle, groom’s parents) paid for NOTHING. They went around the reception as the party was winding down and collected all the centerpieces TO SELL ON EBAY!!! These are things that the bride’s family paid for!!!
THEN, we went to her house after the wedding. She had the glasses in her hutch, obviously never used, with more dust on them then….I don’t know. A lot of dust. But there they were, 16 wine glasses where the bride, mother-in-law, and myself never got one because we were unfortunate enough to be helping when she took them all.
C’mon, who can top that?

Our funny story was after the wedding, when we were opening the gifts. One of the gifts was some sort of iced tea set given to us by friends. We would never use it, so we looked in the box for the gift receipt. In the box, we not only found the receipt, but also found a wedding card that said congrats to the couple that gave us the iced tea set. We were given one of THEIR wedding gifts that they didn’t want, and they didn’t even think to check the box first.

I was at a wedding this past weekend and it was awful. In order to eat, each table had to sing a song with the word LOVE in it. So once our table sang "Love me tender." We went up to the buffet. The food was awful, homemade soups and chili, vegan sandwiches, baked lays. To make it worse, the DJ only played slow songs. The bride wore red and white stripped socks with red glitter slippers, the groom wore converse. When dessert was served, guests actually began cutting into the wedding cake, even before the bride and groom gave each other a taste
Later that night, my entire family got sick (diarrhea). I guess our wedding favors were food poisoning. Thanks!
