I think mine was when an aunt on the groom's side attacked the bride after the ceremony. She physically lunged at the bride and tried to hit her, because she never received an invitation to the wedding, while all the guests watched on in horror. (I think the groom either never sent an invitation to her or it got lost in the mail... but she showed up anyway).
Three people had to restrain aunt and she was kicked out of the wedding. After the wedding she profusely apologized and tried to make it up to the bride.
What's the craziest thing you've seen as a guest of a wedding?
Holy Moly, Bee!
I haven't seen anything crazy.. but I can't wait to see the responses on this thread!!
I wasn't really a guest, but was bartending the wedding.
The bride and groom were apparently bickering the whole day, and when it came time to cut the cake, the groom picked up the entire 4 tier cake and dumped it on the bride. Needless to say, the wedding ended soon after, and I am not sure that they went home together that night!
I went to a wedding where the bride's dad unbuttoned his tuxedo shirt and played air guitar on his knees on the dance floor! He was totally kidding, of course. :)
My friend doing an intricate chair dance on the dance floor, in front of 50 guests. To the chair- straight up grinding on that poor piece of furniture.
Another wedding we had the hotel deliver 2 cases of red bull to drink with vodka from the open bar. They ran out of vodka in an hour.
An guests who were brave enough to stick around for the end of our wedding (before the end a guest was accidently hit with a firework, and my husband's grandmother had a heartattack before that) witnessed my sister calling my husband's aunt a few bad names, my mother trying to diffuse the situation, and then the same adult sister lying on top of the table kicking her feet having a fit (after pooring a drink on mom). At some point, my father sauntered over pretty intoxicated and stated to my sister, "I don't care if your mother is a crackwhore turning tricks, you need to respect her." It's my best and worst wedding memory :)
Great thread, these are hilarious!
I haven't seen anything quite *that* crazy, but I did see a drunken guest stand up repeatedly at a wedding while the toasts were being given to shout that it was time to BRING ON DINNER! 
This was more sad than crazy, but once I was at a wedding that had live beta fish in bowls as part of the centerpieces. By the end of the reception, all of the fish were floating belly-up. It was the saddest thing ever!
A female coworker of the groom's mother attacked the toss bouquet -- as in, beat it out of the air, slammed it to the ground -- in order to ensure she caught it. Hooray for your victory, weirdo; enjoy your non-existent victory bouquet (which was in pieces on the dance floor) and the wrath of all the girls who were actually good friends with the bride and would have loved to share a moment with her after succeeding in the catch.
these are too funny!
I went to a wedding where the groom family and the brides family could not stand each other AT ALL. The toasts literally went on for hours as the families went back and forth trying to out do each other! We didn't eat dinner until 10pm! We left before it even got to dessert.
The funniest thing I saw was an older gentleman (I think he was a friend of the bride's grandparents) paying lots and lots of money during the dollar dance (a tradition I dont really love personally, probably because of this wedding!) to stay dancing with the bride -- and lets just leave it as he was dancing like angelastheboss's friend was dancing with a chair -- the bride was so desperate to get away but he literally was taking $20 and $50 bills out of his wallet every time someone stepped in to dance with the bride. Thankfully the DJ caught on and ended it early!!

Alright, this was rediculous.
Two friends of ours got married last year and were notorious for bickering. First, the pastor and the groomsmen (my fiance included) had to write the wedding vows 10 mins before the wedding because they both forgot to.
Second, the bride and groom started arguing before the ceremony, and (as our pastor friend told us later) were swearing at each other under their breath during communion and prayer, and when it came to kiss, He went for it, and she ducked her head and wouldn't let him kiss her!!!!!!!!
Lastly, the reception was a flop, there weren't enough tables, so his friends, groomsmen and PASTOR were all sitting on a bench, eating off our laps in an adjacent room. We obviously left early and had an after party at our house...which the groom showed up to an hour later!!!!!!
Yea, worst ever wedding. The funny thing is, we went to two more just like it that year.

I went to a wedding with my then boyfriend, the bride is his cousin. Due to some prior bad blood, the groom chose his bride over his family and cut himself off from his family. Needless to say, the groom's nuclear family was not invited to the wedding. In the middle of the reception, the groom's mother and sisters showed up and try to fight the bride. The only damage they were able to do was pour a glass of red win on her white dress. They were escorted off of the premises immediately. That was the craziest wedding I've ever been too.
The crazy thing was that I wasn't in on the bad blood between the bride and her in-laws. So while some of the other guests wasn't even taken aback by the whole situation, I was completely in shock!
Big smiles, great posts.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something even crazier, but I do remember my cousin's wife drunk as hell on the dance floor. After every song she screamed to the band "PLAY MUSTANG SALLY!!!!". When the band finally obliged, she mock-played the guitar on her leg held up above her waist. The problem was, she was wearing a dress with a short, tight skirt. Luckily (and I'm serious here), she will be coming to my wedding!
our friends' wedding this past fall, the groom's step-father comes up to give a speech and says, "i'm the guy that has the pleasure of sleeping with so-and-so's mom." the room quickly fell QUIET!!!

This thread is so awesome. I don't know whether to be frightened or excited.
We have a friend who, at every wedding (I think even his own), ends up shirtless and in a fight. At the last one, the groom's father had to break it up. Back at the hotel, he ended up naked in the hallway and secuirty told us if they saw him out of the room again, we were all getting the boot. Sweet.
The last song of the night, the groom took of his shirt - then his tux pants - but the suspenders were still attached to his american flag speedos!! and of course he still had on a bow-tie. His was a solo dance to end the evening. redonk.
@linzella: OMG that is the saddest thing ever!! :(
cindylouwho reminded me of a good one.
At a friend's wedding, my best friend (he was a bridesdude in my wedding) ended up completely hammered. First, he made out with the bride's mom...in front of the bride's dad! The bride's dad just laughed. So at least there wasn't any crazy drama. Then we got back to the hotel for the after party and my friend got naked. Nobody could get him to keep his clothes on. The pictures from the after party are hilarious. Everyone is dressed to the nines and he's in every picture in his birthday suit. He had drinker's remorse for about a month after that! But everybody had a great time!
i have another one! i wasn't a guest at this wedding, and i won't name who this story is from to protect their identity but...
this bride was asked to sign a prenup but she kept putting it off thinking the groom would eventually forget about it. on the wedding day, the ceremony was postponed for an hour as they fought over the prenup. he refused to marry her until she signed it. she eventually did and they got married!
Last summer I was at a wedding of a proper, modest bride who had a sister (who happened to be her maid-of-honor) who was completely the opposite. When the bride objected to having a traditional bachelorette party, the sister thought it would be a "wonderful surprise" to bring a bag full of traditional bachelorette party gifts to incorporate into her toast (oh, how I wish I was kidding but you can't make this up). The bride turned 5 shades of red, but somehow found the strength to grin and bear it.
When she pulled a sucker out of the bag and proudly announced which item of male anatomy it resembled into the microphone, my own maid of honor and I looked at each other in sheer horror. Looking back, I think she may have been doing it in an attempt to ruin her sister's wedding day. I'm glad that my maid of honor would never dream of pulling something like that!
WOW I wish I had a story to tell but, I don't! I'll tell you this much I truly enjoyed reading all yours. Especially the one with the father telling the daughter to respect her mother, you know!
All these stories make the weddings I've attended sound so calm! I love hearing them, though I'm not sure I'd feel the same if it was my wedding! Only thing that happened at one I've actually attended was that the grooms sister and her friend came in right before the ceremony started and took their seats in the very front wearing the tightest, shortest, most revealing dresses they owned. (I heard the sister was a bit of an attention hog and very jealous of the bride-- or any girl in general!) The bride bawled (I mean sobbing so loudly and shaking so visibly) during the whole thing; someone seated next to us muttered "don't do it, don't do it" under their breath repeatedly throughout the whole thing.
At another wedding that my FMIL attended, the ceremony started 30 minutes late, with no explanation. The MOH was the brides' mother; she was MUCH older than the other bridesmaids, but wore the same dress that was apparently not flattering on someone of her age. During the ceremony, one of the other bridesmaids (who happened to be pregnant) fainted. No one knew what to do; apparently the MOB/MOH watched the poor girl faint then turned back to the bride and groom and motioned for the minister to carry on! Someone came from the opposite side of the church to help the BM, who finished out the ceremony sitting on the front pew.
As a vendor, we've had some really calm weddings, but one of the most recent ones we've done was pretty nuts.
The groom drank a bit too much and the bartenders cut him off, so he and the bridal party promptly took over the bar. Seriously, kicked the bartenders out and served themselves (the arrangement was that they purchased all of their own alcohol beforehand). There was a bumrush on the alcohol, and...the bride did a keg stand.
That said, it was probably the most fun wedding we've ever photographed. Ever. 
I also bartended at some weddings and the guests were all great, except one lady who had her two young kids and was that kind of mother where nothing matters but her babies. It was on a boat and her poor boys showed up in little suits with life jackets over them. All night she was cutting to the front of the bar line with the excuse that she didn't want alcahol so she shouldn't have to wait. Then, as the evening wore on, she started complaining to us that the music was loud and her kids were tired. She asked that we TURN THE MUSIC OFF so they could sleep! Everyone else was getting down on the dance floor. Since it was a boat there was no way they could leave early or anything, but she should have thought of that before showing up. Needless to say we didn't indulge her, but then she ended up throwing a tantrum and screaming at the bride to make us turn the music off. The saddest thing was that the lady got her way and the rest of the cruise was spent in near silence. And all along, the kids were being quiet. What a great example she was for them...
I was a bridesmaid in a wedding where the FOB was making a toast & said the brides EX husbands name instead of the NEW husbands name... It wasn't pretty!
Mrs. Bee...wow about the prenup!!! Thats just saying that he doesnt trust her and he thinks it will end in divorce! And it sounds like it will...poor bride!

@ linzella, that's awful! I worked at a pet store for several years and whenever someone tried to buy fish for that purpose, we talked them out of it. Such a cruel idea.
I have only been to 2 weddings in my life - so no 'drama' - but my best friend's wedding was last year, and they served no alcohol whatsoever. It was a late afternoon/early evening ceremony & reception, and when it was finally time for the reception (in the same location), nobody wanted to dance. At all. The poor bride & groom stood in the middle of the dance floor waiting for someone to volunteer, and nothing happened. Nobody even knew it was time to dance. Finally my guy felt so bad, he pulled me out there to do the chicken dance! He swears if they'd had alcohol, it wouldn't have been a problem for everyone else 
Whoa, Mrs. Bee, that's one CRAZY wedding story!! I have two (from 2 different weddings):
1) The MOH got drunk and started rambling in her speech about the bride's dating mishaps in college. She used full names of ex-boyfriends and everything. Embarrassing!
2) The best man took his shirt off and insisted on keeping it off for half of the reception. I guess he showed some restraint because he kept his suspenders on!
MrsBee: regarding the prenut story...in most states a prenup is only valid if it's signed 7 days before the wedding and the person signing it has consulted with an independent attorney. So there's a high chance that person's prenup is not valid. woops :-)
Darn, no crazy wedding stories here, but man, some of these make me wonder why these people are getting married. Gotta love 'em though.
Towards the end of a wedding last summer, the groom and his brother came out dressed in mariachi shirts and cumberbuns and had fake moustaches on. They had a bucket of fake moustaches for the whole wedding. There are many pictures of us with moustaches, unibrows, and crazy chops!
a few years ago at a fairly formal wedding reception, a relative of mine (to remain unnamed) did the worm (aka the centipede) on the dance floor. in a dress. i believe she was a little intoxicated.
unfortunately for me, she had given birth a month before my wedding. sadly, no repeat performance.
Not craziness, really, but hilarious. My best friend's wedding was in the south in July. That equals lotsa heat! We nearly had BMs faint at the altar of a very formal Catholic church. The funny thing was that, during one of the readings, the bride whispered to the groom, "I'm as hot as a whore in church." She, apparently, forgot that the groom had a microphone on for the videographer. It comes through LOUD and CLEAR on their wedding video!
Mr P and I recently attended his childhood friend's wedding. During the wedding, they performed the Korean traditional paebaek ceremony. One portion of the ceremony involves the groom piggy-backing his mom in a circle around the offerings. He picked her up, proceeded to RUN, and dropped his mom! Poor mom!

OMG!!!! I'M DYING LAUGHING AT SOME OF THESE! some of them make me really sad! others make me want bouncers at my door!!! I need to start going to more weddings to see crazy things!
I did however crash a wedding once my friends was over. It was right next door and the bride was so drunk she was telling us how she wished she knew us better, how she knows we mean so much to the groom. We just smiled and said yes we gotta get together more often and drank their booze - handed to us by the drunk bride's mother. Must run in the family.
This is such a great post! I don't have anything crazy to contribute (thank goodness!!) but I hope there are more crazy stories out there!
One of my BIL's groomsmen has a crazy girlfriend. At my sister's wedding she was really pissed that she didn't get to ride with the wedding party in the limo. When we got to the reception we were introduced in the same couplets as had walked down the aisle together. My sister had puposely put one of her best friends with this guy becuse the friend is happily married with 3 kids so she wouldn't seem like a threat to his crazy gf.
Well, the groomsmen's gf didn't see it this way. she was pissed that her bf walked in with another girl, even though everyone else was introduced the same way. She came up to the head table before we had even sat down and started screaming at him that he had better be in the car in 5 minutes! We had no idea what was going on.
Apparently his mom and sister, which were also at the wedding, saw this and tried to tell her to calm down. They all ended up in the parking lot having a knock down drag out fight. She punched her bf's mom in the face and then grabbed his sister by the hair and threw her in the gravel face first. CRAZY!!! And then he took his gf's side. What a "you know what"!!
Afterwards she came up and cried on my sister's shoulder during the dollar dance. I had no idea that she had done any of this at the time (other than the screaming) because I was inside and busy the whole time. I was the one in charge of the bride's side of the dollar dance and didn't realize I needed to rescue my sister from an awkward situation. She ended up just saying "it's ok" because she didn't know what else to do.. haha.
