My guest ruined my wedding

people have read it who had a guest ruin the wedding what happened not really ruining the wedding but it certainly killed the vibe leading up to the wedding I asked my brother to be my best man at my wedding brother and I Catholic girlfriend Episcopal he says yes months after saying yes he comes to us and tells us that he can't be the best man or even be at the ceremony because his priest tells him it will be a mortal sin for him to be a witness to the ceremony because I'm not asking for dispensation and getting married in an Episcopal Church okay understood sat but if that's the way you see it we'll deal with it at this point I asked my best friend to be my best man and all is good or so we thought a couple months before the wedding my brother starts a campaign calling my entire family and telling them they will be committing a mortal sin if they attend my wedding and explaining how my children will be bad in the eyes of God and anyone who even sleeps under the same roof as us will be committing sin WTF I find all this out through cousins and friends and am in complete shock luckily I have a few cool family and they all show up for the wedding everyone had a what the hell is wrong with your brother question of the day of the wedding but it was a great time with an open bar and live band here's the kicker of it all my mom is Catholic my pop is Episcopal no divorces or any unhappiness just your normal suburban family my father-in-law repeatedly used my husband's extra friend's name during his speeches and when talking to me his toast at the wedding was full of slurred speech and a story about mark and Alyssa and their budding romance and how adorable it was I'm not Alyssa Alyssa was his girlfriend in high school his parents got divorced when he was young he was a civilian Kollek and I've met him twice outside of our wedding he didn't see much of my husband after he was 12 years old very out of touch that said we had been dating six to seven years before we got married he should at least get my name right I once went to a Quaker funeral for a friend's father and how they work is everyone kind of sits around until someone feels inspired say something about the deceased then everyone sits down and waits for the next person to get inspired there's a lot of silence at the one I went to this was happening as usual when this lady got up and started talking about Bob and how great Bob was and there was this one time where she and Bob did a thing then she left my friend's father was not named Bob no one knew who that lady was I imagine your wedding guests had similar feelings as we were having as that lady talked also would it have been better or worse if he had remembered your name but told the same story of burning a chess romance this was not my wedding that I was the flower girl I know awhile wgo but remember like it was yesterday so bright and company show up at the wedding bride had her gown flower girl me had her little dress and the same stris was delivering the bridesmaids dresses to the wedding venue of course wedding party got there far in advance long story short sem stris never showed up with the bridesmaid dresses nobody knew what to do total panic well 7 year old me sat in the corner whilst not quite sure what the ruckus was about so I tugged on the bride and said they could wear those dresses pointing to the Chi robes in the corner closet her eyes got wide and they did wedding saved law wasn't there but friends of mine tell the story of how the best man speech involved telling everyone that he and the groom had been lovers since college in that if there was any real justice in the world the two of them would be getting married at the reception in front of everyone how about the wedding being ruined by itself I was dating a girl whose cousin was getting married cousin was an obese goth chick getting married to a dude even bigger than her we show up on the day of the wedding i 100% promise this is serious they've secretly decided it would be a gigolo wedding both bride and groom are in gigolo Mac coupe and the priests speech sing included thank God for their insane clown posse and thank God for Craigslist where they met I guess it was weird finally a thread I can comment on I recently had my wedding we woke up together happy to be getting married then my soon-to-be husband received a text from his mother disclaimer his mother had waist-length black hair it's a photo of her she cut and colored her hair exactly like mine shoulder length brown with blunt streaks I was livid of all days to color your hair and to do it on my wedding day fine I'll let it go and decided to just forget it finally it's the moment we all have been waiting for I'm walking to the aisle and we reach the front the parents were pulled up so we all could recite avout together our wedding was held in front of a riverbank mind you his mother then proceeded to walk around me near the pasture instead of being with the other parents near the groom she proceeded to loudly scream and fall as she fell she grabbed my hair and I fell with her inches away from the riverbank my moment ruined she got up and laughed and walked away while I was on the ground trying not to cry to be honest I don't remember anything else from the ceremony I was seeing red we no longer speak to one another and I will forever refuse to speak to that woman my husband stands by me on that decision till this day when I think about my wedding I tear up she ruined it and didn't even feel sorry for it and those of you who say she fell and couldn't help it after watching our wedding video her husband in the pasture were holding her arms she deliberately stepped back and fell they didn't ruin the wedding but did ruin a couple pictures an aunt and her family are notorious for showing up eating all the food stealing some drinks and leaving her one son nice guy that years has addiction problems and just can't keep it together her daughter is trashy and has a new boyfriend every week she will show up to family events make a gigantic plate of food talk to no one and leave my family has a free vending machine in the man cave style basement and she will nearly empty before she leaves so when my wife and I were planning the wedding we didn't invite the one cousin with addiction problems because at that point he was in rehab and we didn't let the girl cousin have a plus-one because we were making some guests carts and she has trashy boyfriends anyway well you can guess who shows up at only the reception skipped the wedding part we had an open liquor and beer bar so the addiction cousin gets blitzed immediately he was jumping into every picture he could and becoming a real nuisance my dad no relation to this cousin almost had to kick him out before other family members took him away the girl showed up to our semi formal wedding wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt and her boyfriend of the week who had the worst tobacco smile and looked like your typical redneck was wearing a camo shirt and ripped jeans she was filling her plate multiple times she's not fat she just takes as much as she can and stores it for later while her boyfriend got drunk then they had an awful McKee art session in the middle of the dance floor while groping each other I went to the bar to get a drink and since I was the groom people let me to the front her roy friend was there and was like what the hell someone else said I was the groom and he was like yeah the groom no way let's take shots everyone else that night was wonderful it only takes a couple trashy family members to bring the mood down I ruined a wedding one time but it wasn't my fault I swear it wasn't I was a friend of a friend of the groom and I had an f-150 so I got asked to bring some chairs in the table to the reception hall as people who owned trucks are often asked to do I agreed and was told I would be met there by a couple of women and a few guys to unload everything and place it cool one of the women was pretty hot I flirted a bit and she flirted back she asked if I wanted to take a walk along the river that the reception hall was on sure we walked for a while and talked and it got hotter and hotter we ended up making out on the riverbank for a bit and walking back to the hall where I invited her to go for a ride in my truck this was in rural Indiana so in about ten minutes we were along some numbered County Road in the back of the truck laying on a blanket and going at it it was late evening and there was no one around then a car comes towards us we laid still and waited on them to pass but the car stopped and the girl from earlier got out and started screaming at us yep the girl I was with was the bride the wedding got canceled my friend punched me in the face he found out later that I had no idea who she wasn't apologized we are good now and it was quite the scandal for a while not ruined so much as unexpected my brother had an interesting toast at our wedding he is genuinely a super friendly guy that everyone likes he proceeded to get fairly drunk and when his best man speech started he proceeded to thank all for attending next he had to thank the grandparents for attending and doing what they did gesture ring with their quotes so that our parents could be here next was a thanks to the parents for doing what they did so we kids could all be here he then mumbles god bless the mashed potatoes and drops the make stumbling off the dance floor we had a good meal of prime rib and some of the best chip Atal pepper mashed potatoes ever the whole reception erupted in laughter and mum went to the chef to get the recipe not a guest but the photographer didn't really ruin the wedding that she wasn't the greatest photographer in the world she's a friend of a family members and runs her own photo company she gave us a good deal and at rehearsal she had a lot of good ideas towards the end of rehearsal I pulled her aside and told her specifically one picture that I wanted my wife had no idea that I picked out and got her wedding ring joined with her engagement think she was under the impression I picked up her engagement ring from getting polished and cleaned up for our day a few days before and I gave it to my mom in reality I had the ring for weeks stashed away in my safe it was gorgeous and she was going to be so surprised I wanted her reaction caught on camera well the photographer said she would sneak up behind the officiant and grab that moment where was she when I was putting the ring on my wife in the back of the hole furthest away from us as possible I was irritated but a family friend caught my wife's reaction kind of I brushed it off next up was the after ceremony pictures this lady had us standing on a hill she was at the bottom and people around her taking pics as well no biggie but as the professional photography you need to make sure that people stay focused on your camera not the third aunt of my twice removed cousins boyfriend's dad that was irritating another thing you know how they're supposed to be a whole bunch of just candid shots of people hanging out and having a good time yeah we got maybe 50 of those where was the photographer oh she was busy talking to the family member that she's a friend of she put her camera away I was livid I didn't show it I didn't bring it to my wife's attention because I didn't want her to freak out she was having a great time so instead of really great pictures from a lady who runs her own company we got mediocre pictures from her and way better pics from the cell phones and my sister's Canon DSLR that was floating around I'm so glad we weren't the ones paying her I would have snapped my aunt had a very fancy formal wedding being for adorable and related I was the obvious choice for the flower girl here is the thing it's a long day for the wedding party between hair mchupe so toes and long-winded Baptist vows even the most attentive adult will get tired and bored so here we are standing lined up by the altar and the preacher finally asks for objections at that moment I owned as loud as my little lungs would allow the once silent room filled with 200 friends and family erupted into laughter that is when I noticed that 200 people were watching me and I got scared and did what many scared four-year-olds do peed cried and tried to run away so here I'm up a soak four-year-old in a pink taffeta dress running about a church while my mother the maid of honor tries in vain to catch me running in heels and a ball gown is not easy I still haven't lived it down 30 years later when my mother married my step that I was only 5 or 6 but I remember very clearly what happened that day my twin brother and I were walking our mom down the aisle when we heard a loud rapping from outside the church doors everyone kind of stopped for a minute but no one said anything or knew what to do so we just kept walking and pretended it didn't happen it stopped for a few minutes until it was time for the bride and groom to say I do before my stepfather could say the words the loud rapping sound came again and this time it was booming throughout the entire church my uncle was super Piaf so he sprinted to the back doors and swung them open just as the rapping was getting so loud that everyone was forced to cover their ears when he opened the door we all saw what was making the noise it was just Snoop Dogg practicing his craft and he was unaware that he was disrupting a beautiful wedding he kindly apologized to the congregation and promised to take his rapping elsewhere to a more appropriate and perhaps soundproof location so here is my contribution my husband and I got married 12 years ago and he and his sister ruined my wedding to start we lived in Oregon at the time and all of my family live in Georgia so since I have a huge family who don't have the financial means to travel and his family is very small we went to Georgia to get married the BS started as soon as we started planning the sister-in-law would make comments telling us we should just get married like she and her husband on Christmas in a tiny church with a couple of people she made a lot of other suggestions too about how we should do things then while at my in-laws on Christmas morning nine months before our wedding my husband asks his dad to be his best man it was a very touching moment his mom cried later that night his sister corners him and asks why he doesn't make her husband his best man the fight about that between the whole family on Christmas Day was really great lots more happened but I'll move on to our wedding day we are all getting ready at a rented beach house admittedly my sister-in-law can really bring out the worst in my husband he stressed while getting ready and being an a she's being passive-aggressive and making everything about her four photos before the wedding we are meeting at a park I'm riding with my friend and he is going to follow on the way to the park we get lost no worries we will just go to the wedding venue somehow my husband and his sister start fighting with guests arriving in front of everyone she's manipulating and pushing buttons he's blaming her for my not showing up at the park for photos I finally arrived to the venue with my very soon-to-be husband hands in pockets and saying what the dark my sister then tries going between my husband and his sister to defuse everything with my sister-in-law calling her an idiot and then the minister threatens to leave because of the fighting so after the ceremony my sister-in-law has a horrible face in every single photo that includes her and then had the nerve to tell me during my reception that her day was ruined and she would never speak to her brother again so then two days later as I'm packing to leave the beach rental she comes into my room to tell my how hard the week has been for her she goes on to say that there was god-knows-who sleeping on the couch my best friend since fourth grade and unruly under supplying children running around my nieces and nephew who really are great kids yeah my husband brings up renewing our vows occasionally and while we do have a very happy marriage now I have no desires for a vow renewal I have a story I can contribute my wedding wasn't really ruined but it almost was my husband and I still haven't figured it out everything was going according to plan aside from the stress of planning of course and a few weeks from the wedding the owner of the venue was supposed to contact us and tell us the exact total to be paid when he didn't my husband called him up to ask how much we owed and the guy says nothing you cancelled the wedding ah what after some back and forth they figured out that someone who was not my husband had called the venue claimed to be my husband used his name and contract number and canceled the wedding the only people who would have had access to that information is maybe one of the owners employees or someone in my husband's fam we tried to get the phone number from the service provider but for obvious reasons they did not disclose other things to go wrong for his brother partially shaving his hair into a horrible haircut the day before the wedding without consulting us the place we'd plan to take pictures of ended up being on fire when we drove there so we had to take pictures elsewhere and someone kept trying to hack into our wedding in their account we never figured that one out either we also forgot to put the sand out so during the ceremony my cousin had to sneak behind the stage and set it up she managed without being noticed and saved us the disaster all in all it was an average wedding I'd say
