What's something you saw at a wedding that made you swear...

[Thomasjsgirl]

I know!! Someone emailed that to me and when I stumbled across this thread I just had to find it again and post it as a perfect example of what some of the girls were afraid of! Can you imagine the couple's horror when they saw it for the first time! It's probably a big joke now, but still!

Whoa, Lucy! Lord have mercy on those people who don't have common sense.

[This is Photography]

so as a professional wedding attender (ok Im a photographer but I do get to go to a lot of weddings and see a lot of interesting stuff) here are my top three

 

1. Grooms father was the minister at the wedding, and kept saying his other son's name. Can you say favorite?

 

2. An out of the way wedding where bridal party was gone for a few hours taking photos (hey I can understand that) but there was nothing for the guests to do, or drink, or eat... I was a guest at this one, so you can't blame me for taking the couple for that long!!! My mom and I drove for 30 minutes to find a place to get coffee, and sat in the car and watched tv on a portable dvd player...for 2 hours...

 

3. Drunk relatives are always a treat, but there was one in particular that was BAD. So bad that he couldnt find the bathroom and peed off of the balcony that was attached to the banquet hall!

 

Thats all I've got for now!!

I love this thread- I just remembered something that made me so mad! FI was in his friends wedding a couple of years ago. I didn’t know that group very well yet. There were a couple of hours between the ceremony and reception (they were in different locations too) and the bridal party was expected to go take pictures in this meantime. Fine, whatever, I’ve heard of that before. The clincher was that it was specifically noted by the bride that there were NO SPOUSES (or girlfriends, boyfriends, etc) allowed to the park where pics would be taken. WTF was I supposed to do for 2+ hours until the reception?? RUDE! So I’m driving around aimlessly all fancied up. I think I hit up Target for a bit to shop or something.

ON....gasp....THE....gasp....FLOOR!!!!

Long lines of people lining up for food at the buffet. Or better yet the MC calling up people by table to the buffet. The chaos, the people who cheat and pretend that they are from table 1, when they are actually from table 10; all of that made me promise myself that I would never do a buffet wedding.

gasp! No way!!!

Ha, this thread is great! I wish I seen it sooner!

 

Oh the tackywedding.com site is great! I just can’t believe people would do those things!

 

I don’t have a good wedding story like everyone else, but my FI and I have said that we won’t do the bouquet and garter toss at our wedding. We had a bad experience at a wedding last year when we were screamed at and told we ruined the wedding when we didn’t want to get and stand in front of 300 people for the bouquet and garter toss. Of course we weren’t the only ones they screamed at, there were two other couples they yelled at, one was engaged and the other was dating for 10 years. And one of the 2 women doing the yelling, one was MOG and the other the groom’s sister, the groom’s sister was engaged and she was refusing to stand up there but yelled at everyone else to go up there (even the DJ told the grooms sister she should stand up there and she gave the DJ a face that would have scared the devil)!!! We both don’t like to be the center of attention, hence the 20 person DW and not a 200 person wedding at home. So we now disappear when that part of the wedding comes up.

It was just really random and a really bad quality photo. It was odd.

I like this photo, it has a spanish ambience and i love the shadow play.
