What is the worst wedding you've ever been to and why?
I went to wedding about two years ago and the food was awful. The bride also hired a magician to go around and do tricks while we were eating. The favors were cheesey too. They were those "turkish" (I think that is what they are called) favors that are in a toilet paper roll filled with candy and a paper crown! I couldn't wait to leave!

Re: What is the worst wedding you've ever been to and why?
they were married on the beach the reception was at a HUGE house they rented.. but in the back yard under a tent. NO DINNER just light appetizers.
but invites did not say that... and i know b/c i designed them.... for free!
no tables just some cocktail tables. no seats.
we left and went to Burger king and went home, so hungry.
they were married at a "wedding factory" - there was a guy directing traffic - we had to pull up and tell him which wedding we were going to so that he could point us in the right direction.
With all those weddings going on, it was difficult to keep track of who belonged there and who didn't.
My great-grandmother's purse got stolen, right off her walker, and we never got it back. Hope the person liked tissues and apartment keys...that's all that was in there!

My cousin in Ohio's wedding, I was only like 12 but, it was terrible.... It was in an actual barn! Hay and all!
One of DH's friend's weddings was at a tiny little B&B that would have been adorable for a bridal shower or something small. It was awful for a reception with 150 guests. Everyone ended up having to be outside in the back yard, where it was absolutely freezing. There was also so little food that it ran out before half the guests had gotten anything to eat (it was a 6pm wedding on a Saturday, so everyone expected food). AND, there was beer for all the guests, but the bride and groom and wedding party were "special" and got to have champagne all night.
It was held in an elementry school gym DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. They also served only water and juice boxes (not even soda) out of big buckets with ice. They searved mexican food buffet style..which would have been fine if they didnt run out half way through. Lucky me, my table was called last so i got a big plate of rice, some burned beans and sour cream, by that time they also ran out of waters so i got to drink apple juice out of a box, with little straw. I would understand if they didnt have money to thow a big bash but that is not the case with them.
Dont even get me started on the decorations and music and how I was told which gift to bring..they thought that was classier then registring.
The wedding was at 6 pm on a Saturday night at some fancy, non-traditional venue, a theatre. The reception was in the lobby, and it took literally 30 min to get through the receiving line (the only way out of the theatre).
Then there were only passed appetizers, not an actual dinner. The waiters were horrible, and never came over to us-thankfully eventually there were stations put out. There weren't enough tables for everyone to sit at, there was no MC to make announcements about what was going on, the dance floor was in this awkward space on carpet, etc. Poor, poor planning. And we never got a thank you card for our gift.
This might be long, but hands down the worst wedding I went to started with the invitations. They came in bubble mailers on separate clippings of paper printed from the home computer. No rhyme or reason to them. It included a CD (not a dvd) of an interview of the B & G and baby pics, the stories of the proposal and how they met, etc. Also included on more clippings of paper was where they were registered.
The wedding was in June and on the invitation was no mention of it being an outdoor wedding. It was outside. It was hot and it was one o'clock. There was no bottled water or anything offered and no fans. It lasted forever. The parents of the bride hijacked the wedding ceremony from the officiant and talked themselves. The mom went on about loving the husband, being a helpmate, being patient and some dreams and what not she had about her daughter and the groom. The dad went on about how he and his wife had a fight the other night and vaguely what it was about and how they didn't let the sun go down on their anger. Then he went on about the ring he gave his daughter for her to stay pure. He then presented the groom with this ring and talked about what a prize it was for him to be getting such a gift and how he (the dad) made it come to be. He talked about more and kept saying to make a long story short. One of the bridesmaids was about 7 months pregnant and eventually left the ceremony and went inside the church. There was a lot of sighs and throat clearing and I wasn't the only one to get sunburnt knees and shoulders.
The reception. No alcohol... fine. But don't expect people to stay. Most of the men ended up at the bar at the other side of the hotel. I had to get three separate plates because the chicken was still bloody on the inside. The cake tasted like and had the texture of vanilla cornbread. The music was bad 80s music and they kept feeding back the speakers. Not even good bad 80s music, straight up bad. Oh and then they pulled out a cake for some couple that was there whose 18th wedding anniversary it was or something and talked about them and then had them come up and dance by themselves before dinner. It was crazy.
The one last spring where DH had to stand in as a GM at the last min (like we came from out of town and he was asked the day of) b/c the other GM backed out b/c he was in love w/ the bride. It get's better...
DH had to walk, stand with, eat with, dance with (I drew the line there), with the groom's sister who was a BM who I HATE (she always wanted and tried to get my DH when we were all in high school). So it was torture for me the entire time.
It get's better...
3 months after the wedding? They are getting divorced b/c the bride cheated on groom (DH's high school friend). AWFUL experience.
DH's friend got married in a courthouse with only their parents, so they wanted to do a bigger "vow renewal" on their first anniversary. It was at an Elk's Lodge in the middle of friggin' no where and wasn't even decorated. The ceremony took place on an actual stage (think elementary school) and the place was set up for dinner, so we watched the vows from our table. Dinner was nasty a Mexican buffet served on paper plates with plastic utensils that were wrapped in a paper napkin tied with one of those cheesy little fake roses (like you find in the gas station). I want to think that they were on a tight budget, but her dress suggested otherwise...
Luckily, the bar was fully stocked and open the entire time or else we would've left a lot earlier.

Hands down.
I really think this is the best story so far. I am so glad I asked this question!
OMG, I could read these for hours. I don't think I've ever been to a wedding that was that bad.
The elementary school wedding is killing me!
OMG! I don't even know where to begin with this one! They told you what gift to bring?!
The worst was also the most expensive one. The bride and everyone was so concerend with how perfect everything needed to be (probably b/c of what they paid) that the celebration was realy lame. No one really danced, the bride was upset and all the wedding party was trying to console her. The worst part is nothing really went that bad, they just freaked out about it all. Everyone left early.?
DH & I went to one a few years ago where no one liked to bride. Really ackward. Plus, the best man slammed her in his toast (which was kinda funny, she was kinda bitchy).
I really haven't been to any awful weddings, so if I had to choose the worst, it would be one in which I was a bridesmaid about 5 years ago. It was an afternoon wedding, ending around 7pm. There was no dinner, just light appetizers. I also remember the groom and his friends out in the back tapping a keg...didn't seem like the classiest thing to do at a wedding. It just really wasn't much fun - barely any dancing, very little food/alcohol, not much going on.
And this is just my opinion, but I think evening weddings are much more fun. I hated leaving at 7pm, all dressed up, to simply go back to the hotel and order dinner. Kind of a letdown.
"You're gonna miss this You're gonna want this back You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast..."
WOW. Are these people still married?? That is incredibly awful! I would be completely mortified if I had been that bride.
"You're gonna miss this You're gonna want this back You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast..."
That's awful... I'm so sorry!!
That is the funniest shiit i have ever heard!!!!!!
It's ok, my husband pays dearly for it each and every day...until death do us part.
