Hehe, time to air out the dirty gossip! Who was on their worst behavior at your wedding?
Ours actually went pretty smoothly... one standout was Mr. Peng's coworker and his Fiancee. She wore white to the wedding (which we didn't really care that much about but...hello! She was getting married a few months later, I'm sure she heard of the whole "don't wear white" thing), they made my friends take 6 polaroids of them at the guestbook because she didn't like the way she looked (someone literally cut them off and said, "Um... that's enough)... and then they gave us a $9 juice squeezer. Which we can all argue that a gift is a gift, but let's also add that Mr. Peng went to the guy's bachelor party later that month and they stayed at The Wynn in Vegas. Ok, high roller! Mr. Peng stayed at Harrahs for his bachelor party!
We decided in the end, it was better that they were such weirdos because it gave Mr. Peng and his coworkers something to talk about at work for a few days.
Not too shabby though, I must say there weren't really shenanegans going on at our wedding. Whew!
We had a pretty good crown I must say. Hmmm...we had a nice array of drunks, all nice drunks, a couple sobbers, but harmless. I guess that was the worse. 2 families we had to harass to get their RSVP and for some reason both wanted adult plates for their children...uh HELLO?!!? And wouldn't you know those were the people who gave us the cheapest gifts. One a cheapo $15 which was a pain to figure out where to return and the other, did they give a gift?...I have to check on that one.
Thankfully, all of our guests were very well behaved. It was the bartender that I was a little suspect of. I am pretty sure he made off with some bottles of liquor. It was a small wedding, so we noticed when something went missing.
@Niki: That's funny! Our bartender was hilarious...served booze to EVERYONE, including tequila shots to my 14-year-old godson! I'm tellin ya, I think everyone was drunk at my wedding, they loved on that open bar like no other.
All of our guests were very well behaved, but there was one that sticks out in my mind. One of the groomsmen was married about a year before us -- a grand $300K ++ wedding that was beyond my imagination. Ours was a modest $15K in comparison. So, the wife of this groomsman got drunk at our wedding and all she talked about the whole night was our first dance and how it was choreographed and why couldn't she have done that at her weddigng, and then she would hit her husband playfully on the arm and say "see, even he's willing to take dance lessons, our first dance could have been like theirs!". It was way too funny!
Two of our guests (family members) walked out of our ceremony because they didn't approve (they were upset we were having a Muslim ceremony when my family is Christian). I actually didn't find out about this until recently, so I was spared the drama on my big day, but yeah, I think they win.
How about a my BIL/groomsman who showed up drunk, disappeared during picture time (and consequently is not in the big wedding party pics), came onto the MOH (even though he brought a date), most likely invited at least one person who came who was NOT on the guest list, borrowed money from us, never paid back, missed the rehearsal and passed out drunk and naked in the suite we were using to store our stuff during the wedding? Oh also he puked in the sink. Welcome to the family!!!
Everyone was well behaved, but when we went around to the tables, a former roommate of mine was really sour because she was there dateless and had just spilled a soda into a really expensive purse she had borrowed. Of course, she didn't tell me that, she just sulked, so I spent the rest of the evening worried that something was wrong.
Apparently at the end of our reception some of Mr. PN's college friends tried to dunk someone in the fountain. We had already left at this point but heard about it later on. Apparently are wedding coordinator but teh kabash on that real quick!
We didn't have anyone really misbehaving at our wedding, but we did have about 6 people who assured me they were coming that week, then called me ON SATURDAY MORNING, to say they weren't coming. There was a huge gap in our tables, and all that pre-paid food went to waste. I felt a sting of anger, but got over it quickly.
Now, there was a mighty good number of drunken maniacs at our wedding, but hey they were all of our friends, and they made dancing much easier! ;)

There were LOTS of drunk people at our wedding and we did not even have an open bar. My BIL's friend (their families were invited too) showed up completely wasted to the ceremony 2 people finished off a bottle of whiskey then proceeded to the reception only to drink more and to be carried out at 8:30 pm. Then the ushers and the table they sat at were drinking "ice tea" I don't know who carries ice tea in a flask hmmmm...they were so toasted when it came to the garter toss one usher tackled the other usher, not for the garter because I had just sat down in the chair!! My FIL was pretty drunk, along with my dad and the rest of the family. My aunt was pretending she was not drunk but could not stand straight. It was SOOOOOOO FUN!!! There was no drama suprisingly it was all entertaining!!

hmm... I think for the most part there weren't any serious incidents.
However, two kind of odd things stick out.
1. We had a couple get into a fight. They tried to be discreet... kinda. They were arguing infront of the bathrooms. Kind of awkward when you have to take a tinkle and had to walk by them...
2. We had some one whip out text books and started studying at our wedding... Ouch! I didn't think our wedding was that boring!
My cousin was an usher and he somehow got completely wasted during the cockatil hour. I never knew about it until later, but he apparently threw up and passed out before dinner so his parents (my aunt and uncle) had to carry him out and leave before dinner was served. I wondered why they left in such a hurry! The next day he came to the farewell brunch and HE HADN'T SHOWERED!!! He smelled like vomit and wet dog. Ew!
i love this thread.
ours was uneventful in that area. Just the usual drunkeness.
My sister did have the dj played my most hated song from when we were growing up. We Built This City, truly terrible- and had the DJ say it was my favorite.
And she gave all the men over 40/50 a key and Then over the Microphone asked all my "old boyfriends" to turn in my house key to her- all the old men shuffled up to drop their key into the bucket.
At a wedding I was in the bride's friend from college got so drunk she was eating grapes off the centerpieces, fell on top of the band's music stand knocking over a microphone and was cut off by the bartender by 8 p.m. It was classy.
My husband's family pretty much sat in a corner all evening. They aren't terrifically outgoing people, but really!! Several people remarked on it later - not in a bad way - just "Oh, I did get to meet his brother. It took me a while to find him..." And then they left the reception over an hour early (it ended at 10:00) because they were worried about their dog, who had been in the motel room since 4:00. His mom and sister made a big to-do the next day because when they stopped by our house to say goodbye, we weren't there (Hello, we told you several times we were having a little weekend minimoon. And how nice it was of my sister to get us the limo from the reception to our hotel.)
In addition, his brother (the best man) who had said that he had the pastor's fee covered then had to ask to borrow the money. Luckily I had made sure to have my checkbook as I figured that would happen. I just told him no worries, we'll cover it.
these are really funny.
i went to a wedding where the bride was visibly drunk for the ceremony.
oh, and another where a couple was SCREAMING during the reception.
At my family's most recent wedding, when the reception was ending and the bartender announced last call, several of my distant relatives went to the bar and started ordering tons of bottles of beer. I looked over, and they were stuffing their coats and pants pockets with them!! Turns out they were stocking up for their personal after party back at the hotel! Of course the venue was charging a lot per bottle, so they easily added another $150 or so to the couple's bar bill.
We had a groomsmen buy a plane ticket up for the wedding for the weekend AFTER our wedding. I'm not sure how he missed my emails, the website, the INVITATION, the phone calls from my husband, but he did. And of course he didn't think about the attire until 3 days before so he showed up in a rented tux when everyone else was wearing a suit.
We didn't have any alcohol though so other than that our guests were all very tame :)
We got an RSVP in the mail THE FREAKIN' DAY OF. And the best part? The invite was to a family of 4 and the RSVP was for 8. We had to scramble to find room for them at the reception and plates for them to eat off of. I purposely avoided them at the reception because I was so peeved. I couldn't tell you who the extra four people where that they brought with them.
We also had a lady pass out in the bathroom and hit her head on a sink. Not a medical pass out.... a drunk pass out. We had to then convince her husband to take her home. She still apologizes to this day for her actions.... I think it's kinda funny!
OMG this thread is cracking me up! The last wedding I went to they had the cutest chocolate bar favors with their picture and info in them. A guest of one of the groom's former coworker's girlfriend went to each table and tried to grab any chocolate bars people had left there. Not that the guests didn't want them, she was grabbing them while they were up dancing! Too funny!
We had silver sharpies at the entry of our venue for guests to sign our "guest book"...and there is a large mirror in that front entry. Someone drew on the mirror with the silver sharpies...my DOC found out as guests were leaving, but luckily had some nail polish remover in her emergency kit and was able to clean it off. I didn't know about this until a few days later and I cannot imagine which one of our guests did that...I'm still curious...I would have been pissed if we were charged by our venue, but fortunately my DOC took care of it :)
At my aunt's wedding, her groom had his bachelor party the night before & his best man had to hold him up during the ceremony because he was still drunk!

These are fantastic! :-D
At the last wedding I went to the couple (or at least the groom) had selected the date specifically because the college rodeo was in town. A couple hours into the reception after most of the older folks had left he starting telling all the guys there, "invite who ever you want to come over and party!" And basically invited the rodeo team over (read: 18-21 year old guys who like to party.) I'm sure you can guess where this is going.
The kids were a little obnoxious, but not over the top until it was discovered that one of them had apparently stolen the bartender's tip money. At that point bride's sister jumped up on stage and started yelling for everyone who wasn't invited to get out and quit ruining her sister's wedding. Mom had to cut her off. And I tried not to giggle.
I felt bad, but seriously, did they really expect a different outcome?
I think it's ironic that caitlanc mentioned the rodeo being in town at the wedding she went to, becuase at mine the rodeo was in town at my wedding also, but the difference was we didn't do it on purpose. Before we got to the reception some cowboys asked my bridesmaids if they could come to the reception. Which they of course told them no, and it was funny because we had some "security guards" from the hotel who actually kept watch out to make sure they didn't get in. The security guards just didn't look like the security guard type, lol.
The only really other annoying guest was my uncle who is already quite an obnoxious person. He caught the garter (because our DJ just had all the guys come up regardless of if they were married or not) and we had attached money to it, so he jumped in front of our younger guests who were in the front to catch it, then he took the money, and gave the garter to one of the kids. Then when the photographer went to take pictures of who caught the bouqet and garter, I told the younger guest to just keep it and pose for the pic( I didn't really need I mean want a pic of this uncle). Then my uncle comes running up and grabs the garter from the kid and poses for the pic. Man he drives me crazy, he is so annoying and rude. I wouldn't expect much less from him though.
That was the worst of it though. Even though everyone got pretty drunk nobody acted like a jerk or anything.
Mine is really mild, but still was slightly annoying... my former roommate (lived with her until the wedding) did me and my MOH's hair for the wedding, and every 10 minutes stopped to answer a call from her fiance, who was attempting to adopt a cat but didn't know what shelter to go to, or something like that. At the time, I really didn't think about it, but in the next couple of days, my MOH said something like "Wow, those two are really clingy, aren't they?" and I realized that a big part of why our hair didn't get finished until 45 minutes before the ceremony (and thus none of my family's pictures were taken beforehand as scheduled) was those frantic cat-finding phone calls!
We rented our venue for the weekend and had a brunch planned for the morning after our wedding. When my mom arrived to set up for the brunch, there were of course a few guests who had a bit too much to drink sprawled out on couches/floors in the house. That wasn't so bad, but one of Mr. T's friends was actually found asleep under a tree in the front yard. There is a youtube video of his friends waking him up and him stumbling off. Said friend gave me big groping drunk hugs at both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding.
Klassy.
my issues are similar to Mrs. Coconut's - everyone who showed up was on pretty much good behavior - it was my lameo family members who swore up and down that they were coming who cancelled the night before (we're talking like less than 12 hours before the ceremony). It's a good thing I checked my email and was doing all the table cards late that night because otherwise there would have been half a table empty since they're a family of four! But we sure weren't getting that $300 back for their meals. (they also, for the record, never really apologized for that and yep, you guessed it, never sent a gift or even a card wishing us well).
Um, can you count your brand new FIL? We worked hard planning our interfaith ceremony, and offered to talk to my husband's very religious baptist parents about it in advance. His father said "we should let sleeping dogs lie" - meaning we shouldn't talk about it. We offered again the weekend of the wedding, he didn't engage. Then an hour, AN HOUR, before our ceremony he saw our officiant (a rabbi) and asked if we were going to mention JC. He said no. FIL says "then I don't know if I can be a part of this". Luckily I was oblivious to all of this until much later, and he did show up. BUT at the end of his poetry reading, he blessed us in the name of JC. Which to someone who is Jewish (me) is pretty offensive, and completely disregarding our wishes. Oh well!! It was my wedding day so I got over it in about 2 seconds, didn't think about it again until much later.
Oh and I had to call our videographer and ask him to make two versions of the video - one with the prayer in it (for the inlaws) and one without it (for us and my parents)!

Are any of you girls still cordial with the guests who were annoying or inappropriate, and did you inform any of those guests of your feelings towards them or just kept silent?
Tiramisu - your story is cracking me up! I can totally see that happening at our wedding...I KNOW we'll find at least a few people passed out in the wedding attire on beach chairs in the morning. I love it!!
I have a really good one.
My friend proposed to his girlfriend AT his cousin's wedding.
Imagine?!?!?!
i had a bridesmaid not like the table name she was assigned so she took the sign out of the frame and wrote a new one in ballpoint pen on the backside. then she felt the need to come tell me she had done it to make sure i didn't mind.
i could have killed her.
A friend of mine grabbed my Sister's buns in front of her SO and his family and then tried to get several of the ladies at the reception to go have a threesome in the parking lot. He ended up alone a drunk in a bar that night where he met his latest squeeze.
My husband's aunt and uncle didn't show up, didn't call anybody, nothing. We didn't hear anything from them until we saw them at Thanksgiving (our wedding was in August) when they said that their daughter had been sick so they hadn't shown up. But worse was when husband's (17 year old) sister got extremely drunk, threw a tantrum when he danced with his stepmother during the parent/child dance (his mom wasn't even AT the wedding) and stormed out, necessitating that husband spend the first hour of our reception after dinner talking to her outside while I thanked our guests alone. Later she threw ANOTHER huge fit in the washroom about something else. Good times.
Oh, also we had a couple who were perfectly well behaved except that they weren't actually our guests - they snuck in from the wedding upstairs. It was pretty close to the end of the evening so it's not like they could have blended into the crowd, there were only about 30 people still there. One of the groomsmen went up to them and was like "Enjoying the wedding?" and they said yes, and he said "How do you know the bride and groom?" and they said "Oh, we went to school together" and he said "No you didn't. How about you finish up this dance and then head out?" He's a pretty big guy. They went willingly.

@MrsLeopard: What was the table name??
@baderin: I don't understand how they can do that!!! Like no one would notice??
@MightySapphire: I know, right? If nothing else it was ballsy. Our wedding was clearly better than the upstairs one (their guests got into a fistfight in the parking lot) but still...

OMG... our reception was mayhem.
First of all, my mother was probably the drunkest of them all. She blamed it on me being her first child to get married, and the fact that she had turned 40 the month before. It was so embaressing.
Secondly, one of our distant friends also took advantage of the open bar and then started hitting on my 15yr old sister. He grabbed her butt and then told my step dad he would love a chance at that. Needless to say, we haven't spent time with him since.
Madness....

Oooh, fun board!!
MNH and I had 2 ambulances at our wedding: one was for a woman who feel and broke her wrist on the dance floor, the other was for the wife of a friend who had a few too many cocktails, and locked herself in the bathroom to puke before passing out. THEN, and this is my most inappropriate guest, we had a homeless woman show up! now, I actually don't care about this, I think power to her - she saw fancy guests coming and going and figured there would be food and a lot of people, maybe too many to notice her, so she gave it a try. Smart lady. I guess the building managers noticed that she didn't quite fit in, and escorted her out. Had I known, I would have asked the caterer to prepare a few plates for her to take on her way.
Anyway, with 2 ambulances and a homeless person, it was a pretty adventurous night!
We had an outdoor wedding on my parent's farm.
We invited my husband's friend and his fiance (his fiance introduced us), well, last minute his friend couldn't come- but the fiance was going to come alone. I thought this was a little odd, but still nice. She ended up getting super drunk, asking all my male family members to have sex with her, fell on the dance floor, etc.. My father in law pulled me away to take care of her (I'm still irritated he did that), and while I was bringing her into the house to get her some water, she puked on me and my dress. My Aunt came in and got her, took her outside and sat with her for the rest of the night while she was passed out and puked in a lawn chair.
She woke up still drunk around 2.a.m demanding we give her the keys to her car. My husband and I told her no, and we would drive her home. When we got to her car- the keys were locked inside. We had to call her sister to bring her another set (which took 2 hours- her sister was at the bar drunk herself). My husband drove her car, and I drove mine- on the way there she puked on my husband. We were so tired. We got back home around 7.a.m. We get to say we spent our wedding night driving her home, and sharing a room with my brother and his girlfriend for a few hours! The next day we were supposed to leave for our honeymoon- but we were so tired that we ended up going back to our apartment in Detroit for a night and leaving the next day.
