"Father of the groom speech went a little something like this ‘ bride we never thought he’d marry you , you wasn’t his first love , Que 20 minute monologue of the groom’s love for cars and his love of his son and granddaughter then end speech. Nothing about the bride , nothing nice about the bride or welcoming her to the family just ‘we didn’t think he’d marry you’. I was absolutely floored."
"Best man professed his love during his speech and not so subtlety said it should’ve been him instead. Best man also volunteered to be the DJ for the bride and groom to save them money before the wedding. After the ceremony he went to the DJ booth and played two edm songs before flicking the entire wedding off and leaving. Oh and the groom’s mom had a massive center of attention problem and dragged her husband onto the dance floor in the middle of the first dance."
"At our wedding there were some torches/braziers that were lit. My wife's uncle was leaning around trying to take a picture and his head caught on fire (he was okay but lost some hair)."
"An older family member was asked to be in the wedding party. Really sweet, but also, this person is probably about 80 years old and standing through a ceremony that had all sorts of extra readings and songs to include different people. Right about the time I was thinking “man, this is a long ceremony”, they passed out, 911 was called and they were taken to receive medical attention. It was very upsetting, people were crying. The ceremony paused until medical help arrived, but the ambulance was still out front when we left the church and they still made us stand there blowing bubbles as they exited the church for the photos, so that was weird lol. They’re okay now, but didn’t made it back for family photos or the reception, so that’s a shame.Side note, the officiant said a wedding party member passing out has happened in about 10% of the weddings he’s officiated. Let your favorite people sit down if you want a long ceremony lol."
Every interview after this is like 'how did you deal with this'. Even now, decades later.
