Weddings are more than just good food and fancy clothes – they’re also about drama and chaos, so much chaos. But, mostly this drama makes up for gossip or things that we can laugh about later.
So clearly, no matter how hard anyone tries, there’s always something that doesn’t go according to the plan. And, this Twitter thread is all about such weddings, that went terribly.
Friends I have just now realised a category of gossip I adore is “wedding that went terribly”. Please tell me about the worst wedding you’ve been to please and thank you.

There were some stories that were outright scary, at least for the people who were involved. And, we sympathise.
I worked for a caterer and we got a gig in the mid 80s at a hall in 7Hills. At some point before mains bride & best man were at it against hall wall when groom came out & busted them. Wedding party covered in blood,we were hunkered down in kitchen waiting for help.Police came 1/2

So went as my friend’s plus one to a wedding. I had never met either of the brides. Park wedding. I wore a brightly coloured jumpsuit … and when bride #2 emerged, realised we were wearing the same outfit.

A friend got married in Bali & the night before the wedding was involved in a bar brawl, got glasses across the face and needed emergency plastic surgery. Wedding went ahead. Bride literally fell over walking down isle. They got divorced a few years later.

the wedding went great…it was the reception. Midway through his speech the groom pulled out plane tickets for a Caribbean honeymoon. Announced he was giving them to his best man to go with his new wife, because they’d been shagging for months…& left. Was an expensive venue too!

My own. B/maid dresses turned up 10pm night before, ruined. Cake collapsed, sister in law so drunk had to be hospitalised. Blackout at reception. Drought broke day before o/door wedding. My sister refused to smile as not about her. Boquet was broken. Photographer sucked.

I went to a wedding where the priest was summing up and said “and with one gorgeous child and another on the way— oh, no? Oh sorry it’s just that you have such a curvy figure I just though that…” and I kind of black out at that point I don’t remember what happened next.

Playing in the band I could see the bride’s father arguing with the groom, then suddenly laying him out with one punch. When the bride intervened her dad pushed her, in full white wedding dress and veil, over the bar, leaving only her legs, white shoes, and knickers showing.

My own…second wedding…and ensuing marriage. I was unaware of what went on, but my parents who had gone out of their way to match make the relationship with the “sweet” lady I was marrying heard her talking about, how now she could make my bloody kids do what she wanted. 1.

And then there was the wedding when the people delivering a fake wedding cake didn’t tell anyone there were doves inside. When the happy couple opened the top to toss the loving doves into the air, yes, dead birds.

However, there were others that sure sound funny – hoping that people have probably moved on from the experiences.
Groom’s second marriage. Best man opens his speech with “welcome back, everyone.”

I was best man at a mate’s 2nd wedding (was also a groomsman at his 1st wedding)
— Peter (from BrisVegas) (@BrisVegasMale) June 11, 2022
Started my speech with
“To the bride’s family & friends, thanks for being here to celebrate this special day. To the groom’s family & friends, good to see you all again”
I didn’t attend but a friend took photos at one years ago where the groom’s speech was a presentation of screenshots of messages he’d found on his new wife’s phone of her sexting his best man 🙃

I once went to a wedding where the groom gave a 45-minute rambling speech, during which he said “I’m just so excited to be marrying Katherine. It’s like when you’re a kid, and you get a bike for Christmas, and you can’t wait to take it home and ride it”.

Bruno Grollo’s wedding. The Ice Cream Wedding Cake 6 feet across melting & splitting in half minutes before guests arrived, then the candelabras started spotfires among the floral table arrangements. Spirits Bar ran a $80K tab & the night ended in a brawl between the 2 families.

Relative on medication who was told that he shouldn’t drink whilst on it (as one of its many side effects was flatulence)…. Well he drunk and yes that was a very noticeable and frequent occurrence 😂

I worked a wedding that was on the same night as NRL grand final. Best man refused to attend unless he could watch the game so a T.V was organised. During the speeches everyone cheered. Because the Roosters scored a try. Later in the evening the bride showed everyone her boobs.

Bride is a govt employee, groom has chronic illness and smokes a lot of weed for pain. When bride is reciting back her vows, “I promise to support and respect you” got spoonerised to “I promise to report and suspect you” lemme tell you, I almost screamed 😂

Turned out it wasn’t a horrible joke but a slightly whacky relative who was into making homemade remedies & who thought it was the perfect gift for two people setting up home.

Everything looked like green slime & the smell was indescribable.
Indian TV shows still win the ‘most bizzare weddings’.
