Reddit user Professional-Owl-341 asked: 'What’s the most WTF thing you’ve ever seen happen at a wedding?'

Weddings are built up to be magical events heralding a happily ever after for the newly minted spouses.

But like any major life event, a lot can go wrong.

Weather, illness, natural disasters, relationship drama, family squabbles... you name it and someone, somewhere has seen it at a wedding.


Reddit user Professional-Owl-341 asked:

"What’s the most WTF thing you’ve ever seen happen at a wedding?"

Not Sister Wives

"My aunt was a justice of the peace and officiated a wedding where seven women were wearing bridal dresses. Not white dresses, full on wedding dresses with accessories."

"Turned out the bride was very shy and hated to be the center of attention, but also wanted to wear a bridal gown for her groom."

"Her friends promised to wear their bridal gowns if she would wear one, and so they all did."

~ LaoBa

Mouth-to-Mouth

"The 'you may kiss the bride' the groom practically swallowed the bride’s face and it lasted a good eight to ten seconds."

"It was her second marriage, his fourth.

"It was so cringy."

~ GoingNutCracken

Hands Up

"Bride’s mother pulled a gun on the groom prior to the wedding starting."

"For some reason the wedding got cancelled."

~ justin_caseimhigh

Games People Play

"Male stripper in a leopard print thong was hired to provide entertainment at the wedding I was attending."

"Nobody paid any attention to him or tipped him. He got bored and sat by the buffet tables."

"I felt sorry for him and joined him for the remainder of the reception. We played many games of Tic-Tac-Toe."

"I was 6 years old."

~ Schwarzes__Loch

Floor Show

"I attended a wedding reception where the wait staff started to become generally distracting during dinner...they were sweeping the floors, spraying windows, creating more of a mess than anything."

"They would ask guests to move, interrupting their conversations and meal. They would clear away bottles of wine and champagne that hadn't been finished, then quickly bring another, just to grab it away again."

"One of the waiters even sat down and poured himself a drink. It was confusing and a bit appalling, but not as much as it was amusing.

"Turns out, they were the hired entertainment!"

"It created quite a buzz of conversation once we had all processed what was happening. I've never seen anything else like it."

~ slinkylizard

Got It!

"I sprinted full speed and slid along the ground to beat about thirty women to where the bouquet landed once."

"I was a 6-year-old boy, and didn't get the concept of the bouquet toss."

"Whoops!"

~ EleanorRigbysGhost

Not It!

"I was at a wedding in my early 20s where we ALL stepped out of the way of the bouquet and it landed on the floor."

"We all looked around at each other, then the maid of honor picked it up and handed it to the girl with the long-term boyfriend."

"She reluctantly took it."

~ TheCrankyOptimist

Psych!

"After the toast the bride said she had a surprise for everyone and started playing a video."

"They got married a year ago in secret and only 2 people there knew about it and kept it a secret from everyone."

"Even the parents didn't know."

"At the end of the video the bride turns to the camera and said 'Surprise bitches, you are at our 1 year anniversary!'."

"It was followed by a lot of screaming and yelling 'WTF!'."

"It didn't ruin the wedding or anything—it was kind of funny and shocking."

"Heard one of the groomsmen complaining in a jokey manner that they owed him money for the suit since it was not a real wedding."

"Anyone that knew the bride knows she love play pranks—everyone knew it was her idea."

~ EdgyEmily

Sweet Moves

"Maid of honor did a wide receiver dive trying to catch the bouquet and went right through the wedding cake."

~ JoeyMaddox

Young Love

"Groom got up during the reception to announce that they (both 18 yrs old) were already expecting a child."

"They had purposefully gotten pregnant so their parents would have to let them get married and the very religious parents were very ashamed and trying to keep it a secret."

"But after the groom so loudly announced it to everyone else, a brawl broke out between the families, each accusing the other's kid of entrapping the other."

"Definitely couldn't be their smothering and oppressive religious expectations that turned what would have likely just been teens having their first experiments with young love into forbidden fruit."

"If left alone, it likely would have eventually run its course like how most of our relationships do at that age."

"But no, had to be a scheming trollop anchoring down their precious baby boy or that scheming manipulative horn dog who ruined their promising young woman."

~ amusingmistress

💩 Happens!

"They wanted their German shepherd in the wedding."

"He walked down by the bride and took a dump."

"Hilarious."

~ Most_Wonder_1871

"My dog peed on the flowers at the end of the altar."

"I was bummed I missed it and the photographers didn’t get pictures."

"It would’ve been hilarious to see."

~ CottonCandyDreamzz

Toxic

"Attended a wedding where they had hired private security to ensure the bride's father and stepmom wouldn't come in and disrupt everything."

"After security blocked them from going in I guess they decided to get drunk in the car. They then came back and proceeded to beat the security guards up with their empty liquor bottles."

"Before the wedding I overheard the groom's family calling the bride paranoid and selfish, and that she should have invited her dad."

"Obviously, they had never met him before..."

~ unnamedbeaver

Fight Night

"At the reception the best man and groom were drunk and started fighting. Cops were called and the groom decided he would win a fight with the 6 foot 5 state trooper."

"They had to hog tie him after he kicked two other officers."

"I was the photographer doing a favor for a friend. I got some of it in pictures."

"It was dark out and the trooper gave me a look after the third flash so I stopped. Only one came out clear."

"I mentioned them to my buddy later that I had them and he asked to let him see. He laughed and they added them to the wedding album."

~ soldmyblood

The weddings I've attended seem very tame in comparison.

Have you ever been to a wedding with a WTF moment?
