I've dated bikers and I can honestly say that I felt safer wandering a bike rally at 3am, surrounded by anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand pissed up bikers, than I ever have trying to cross my local town centre at midnight to get a kebab and a cab.

It's the same for the rock crowd. I very rarely saw trouble on a night out, and on the odd occasion anyone did kick off they were quickly tossed out Fresh Prince-style by the regulars before it could escalate. Everyone was very self policing because it was the only venue we had where we could relax and listen to our type of music and we didn't want any trouble that would lead to it being shut down.

I was stood behind a load of Blue Angels in a cafe once, they were being served by both an older and a younger lady at the counter and were all unbelievably polite when making their orders for breakfast. Now, they were definitely a bit more rambunctious with the banter with the older lady serving them but she was, admittedly, quite clearly loving it and giving as good as she got.

The guys all got their orders in then stood off to the side, continuing to have a good laugh and a bit of to-and-fro with the older lady at the counter. Next in line was a younger guy with a "Prospect" patch on who was served by the younger girl and was immediately super abrupt and pretty rude to her when he was making his order.

One of the guys with his back to the young Prospect turns round and fixed him with a look before turning back round to the guy he was talking to previously to grab his attention and gestures towards the Prospect. The hubub amongst them all begins to quickly quieten down, they're all watching the young guy intently who's continuing to be a more than a bit of a prick to the young waitress when suddenly...

"HAW! I THINK THERE'S A FEW FUCKIN' WORDS MISSIN' THERE WEE MAN!"

There was some serious emphasis on the "wee man", the Prospect looks shell shocked and turns back to the waitress:

"Oohhh, umm, uhh.. please?"

"AYE! AND WHIT ELSE?"

The boy's white as a sheet at this point.

"Uhhh, thank..uhhh..thank you."

"AWAY AND FUCKIN' WAIT OOTSIDE!"

He did just that, immediately sheepish. The guys seemed to pay for his order and quietly said something to the young waitress that I couldn't make out and I wasn't exactly craning in to hear after that exchange. It was quite nice to see basic manners so thoroughly enforced though!

We gatecrashed a wedding in the 70’s . We sent Marty in first. He was a wild eyed, long haired, drug addled lunatic. He went in the main door, of the church hall, and immediately recognized the DJ as someone who had been in a gang that recently beat him up. He sprinted the entire length of the hall, dived head first over the decks, smashing them to pieces, then began beating the crap out of the DJ. We stood flabbergasted at the door as things then went from madness to bizarre.

Had a large mixed doner wrap from there last night, walking back from the Moon, and it was gorgeous.

Family is quite large and split into those from "up north" and those from the south. So we didn't really see the up north lot all that much unless it was for weddings and funerals. Usually when we were kids we would skip funeral stuff as we didn't really know the people dying if it was a second uncle or whatever.

So I think it was probably their first time meeting as teenagers, probably hadn't seen each other since they were like 5 or something and wouldn't remember. I think they both just assumed they were from the grooms family or something.

One of the first wedding venues to have video of the place on its website! I know this because I shot it, 20-odd years ago. A company that did wedding dresses and stuff hired it for a catalogue shoot and since there was a couple of models paid to be there anyway they agreed to do some promo for the venue. They were great although the "groom" was clearly painfully into the photographer.

I genuinely believe a healthy marriage is founded on a caring husband providing grounded, empathetic, kind masculine leadership, and a healthy flowing feminine energy to soften the edges around the masculine that the husband can ground and support.

Unfortunately there's a lot of toxic masculinity which is exactly an indication of fear of one's own feminine quality and therefore results in oppression of women.

There's a story about a wedding party at a private house where there was so much booze that everyone was drinking too much, even the children. One of the drunk children fell over after jumping off a chair and it was suspected that he had broken his arm. One of the least drunk men who were there volunteered to drive the boy to hospital.

On the way to the hospital, the driver felt the call of nature and pulled over at the side of the road to relieve himself just as a police car came along. The police decided to breathalyse the driver, and sure enough it showed the presence of alcohol.

The driver argued that he hadn't had a drink and that the police must have a faulty batch of breathalysers. "Why don't we test one on this innocent child?".

Bride and Groom seemingly got bored of their own wedding and cancelled the evening reception about an hour before it was due to start. And they just got in a car and drove home.

There were guests who had only been invited to that portion of the day who were starting to arrive only to be told by the guests (while shrugging their shoulders) who had been there all day, that it was over. Food cancelled and everything.

Never got an explanation.

My wedding a few years ago.

My mother’s best friend was invited as she has known me her whole life (drove my mum to and from the hospital when she was giving birth to me). She was an aunt to me. Unfortunately, she had a bit of a problem with alcohol, but she had been good for about 5 years prior.

Anyways, our wedding was a full day in a relatively remote location, so people were catered for the whole day and alcohol was provided. We asked her husband and my mum to keep an eye on her, but she was in her element.

She enjoyed herself to the point where she started to dance with my dad and proceeded to grind on him as my stepmother gazed on (who has since passed away, not from the trauma of witnessing that, I hope), before our first dance.

She came up to our “sweetheart table” after the speech multiple times, kept saying cheers, tried to kiss me, and generally attempting to be the centre of attention.

At about the fifth time of her coming up and trying to shove her tongue down my throat for the final time, I gave her a few choice words, she wound her neck in and sat down.

This is when the problem really started. Food was now being provided. She had salmon and boiled potatoes. Those potatoes ended up being mashed by her hands, then she made a lovely paste out of the salmon and newly mashed potatoes and proceeded to throw clumps of it into her clutch purse. Not satisfied with that, she then did it with her husband’s meal, then poured a bottle of wine in there and shook it all up.

She turned to my mum and said “I can’t believe he told me off” and my mum responded “I’m not surprised” and turned away from her. She proceeded to stand up, tucked her clutch under her arm, then walked out with wine and the potato dripping all over her dress and the floor.

'Crazy' is strong but I went to a wedding up north and someone turned up in a bradford city shirt. Always wonder about that bloke's thought process when he woke up that morning.

Other than that, I had a friend who got invited to a wedding of a kid we knew for 5-6 years in secondary school/college but hadn't seen for a few years and had never met the fiance. It was in a caravan park. He was told when he turned up that he was best man and had to deliver a speech. (Incidentally said friend had had a threesome with this bloke and a girl in quite a notorious incident in year 11. Don't think he mentioned that in the off-the-cuff speech)

Oh and the entire music was just a karaoke machine and the fella who ran it, so for the first dance they didn't have the official song so they had to dance to the karaoke version of I had the time of my life whole a very stereotypical long haired John Virgo waistcoat wearing karaoke machine owner sang lyrics off key at them.

I’ve worked at a lot of weddings.

The brides mother kicked one of the bridesmaids in the head.

This was pre-wedding as the mother was making changes to the table layout in pen as she had invited additional people and wanted to cross off a few of the brides friends.

Barman didn't fancy his chances with the mother and called the police who promptly bundled her into the back of their van.

At another the groom had just been given 50% ownership of the father in laws company as a wedding gift (in front of everyone, the absolute wankpuffins).

The best man then proceeded to play a video he had put together from the grooms mates who couldn't make it from the Isle of Wight. He clearly thought it would be funny, however the amount of drug dealer jokes (which were historically accurate) led the father in law to have a full blown meltdown.

Third and final for tonight, the best man read through the grooms entire sexual history including violating a Henry hover and getting the clap off a random girl in a side alley. The bride didn't deserve that.

When my friend was 18, his two brothers were 17 and 10. They were on an all inclusive holiday in Spain. His parents went on a trip for the afternoon, leaving the boys playing football on a pitch next to the hotel. The two oldest were under orders to look after the 10 year old. After a while it got too hot to play football so they went back to their room and my mate went to the hotel bar to get beers for him and his elder brother. The youngest brother threatened to tell their parents as they were under strict orders not to drink while they were away. As a bribe, they offered to get a beer for the ten year old. They said that he really enjoyed the first and asked for another. They got him one. He started swearing and giggling before throwing it all up over his bed. They managed to get clean bedding from the housekeeper and before the parents came back in the early evening, the ten year old was fast asleep. They did tell the parents that he'd been sick, but they told them that he'd eaten a lot of the free ice cream after running about in the sun. He got up the next morning, right as rain.

Guests realised during the ceremony that the bride and groom were sister and brother but no-one wanted to cause a fuss and the celebrant was given some extra cash to ignore it.
Bride's entire family were hardcore Jehovah Witnesses although she had left the flock and the boy wasn't religious so her family had refused to even meet him during their years of dating and wouldn't come to the wedding. With a bit of cajoling and guilt tripping several turned up, however, when they finally saw the couple together standing they got up and left as they realised it would be a racially mixed couple, him being white and her family being of Caribbean descent.

What had happened was that their dog had been tied to a tree with a decently long lead. He had worked out he could go under the edge of the marquee and just reach the profiteroles. His lead was shortened after that.

Because it was trashy reality TV.

TBH the first few seasons were better and less high drama. They were just slightly dopey grooms who meant well but had no clue about wedding planning.

No one would stay seated for the meal / speeches because everyone had taken loads of coke far too early. Then no one ate the meal either because they weren’t hungry.

To make things worse her partner was sober so they were extra miffed.

Her cousins partners turned up wearing football tops, jeans and a cap.

A friend of my wife was getting married and I was invited to her (to be) husband's stag do. I knew him, but we aren't "mates", but I was trying to be more social and agreed to a weekend away, and had a great time.

Fast forward to the wedding and the best man is giving his speech and half way through, starts talking about a "bearded legend" that crashed a quad bike, learned to drive on a 4x4 off road course and managed to jump every queue in to bars because he had a walking cane (found, not needed) then proceeded to drag me up front to give me a trophy. Bare in mind I knew exactly 4 people out of the 50 or so guests (not counting the stag do crew, I only met them once and forgot all their names)

Was a tad awkward, and the bride was staring evils at me for the next hour.

At a different wedding, the groom had a serious drinking problem, we knew he liked a drink but it later turned out he was a raging alcoholic. On the wedding day he arrived at a lunch time wedding already plastered, couldn't stand up at the altar (had to be propped up by the best man) carried on drinking all night, passed out in the hotel room His wife had to call reception to help her get out of the dress, and he pissed and shat the bed.

(Also, his speech was quite memorable, he said "my nan, she is a legend. Granddad, legend. Dave, legend. My nan and granddad, legends. Granddad is a legend." Mumbled a bit more, ssaid legend a couple more times and dropped the microphone)

I've been to a few German relatives'weddings and they do some weird shit.

The bride and her new husband spent about an hour in the rain smashing up pottery including a whole ceramic toilet. ???

They then spent another hour sawing through a tree with a two person saw. ???

Then there were the creepy games in the evening. They played some weird garter game where the groom was supposed to get the brides garter off her thigh using only their teeth. But half way through one of the Brides fathers friends did it instead. They all thought it was hilarious but I found it pretty weird.

They also did something where the bride wore a veil and the women very violently ripped it off her head. It was pretty savage.

My husband’s side of the family are belligerent and numerous to quote Futurama so I’ve been to a couple of weddings and witnessed the following:

The Wendy supporting half of the family shouting “pigs” and “scum” at the Sheffield United players who had just returned from an away defeat and we were at a wedding reception at Bramall Lane

My MIL taking my FIL’s wedding outfit out of the suitcase and forgetting to put it back in so he had to buy his entire outfit from a nearby charity shop on the morning of the wedding

When one of my cousins got married, the family had a few concerns about her fiancé because he seemed a bit ... off. But, you can be wrong about people and everyone turned up to the wedding. Ceremony fine, off we all went to the reception, and that's where things went downhill very quickly. The groom got caught with one of the (adult) bridesmaids in a side room during the reception and he wasn't helping her with her flowers. The groom's very drunk father tried to start a fight with the hotel manager, then tried to make a run for it when the police arrived, and tripped over a small child and fell in the fountain at the front of the hotel. The groom also got arrested when he tried to stop the police taking his father away.

Yes, we were invited to that too, and had a place to sit :)

I didn't figure out the breakfast mystery until years later.

Bride dragged my wife into the ladies' toilet to tell her she wasn't sure she was going to go through with the wedding since she'd shagged someone on her hen night. They were very much not alone in the room at the time.

Did you chime in with Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?

Went to an Evangelical wedding some years back. The groom was a work friend of my hubby's and he told him it would be a "charismatic service". This transpired quickly during the service when guests began waving their arms in the air and dancing up and down the aisles when hymns were played (by a live band) but when the bride went to the altar and lifted down the cross and began waving it above her head and dancing down the ailse thats when we realised this was no ordinary wedding. The groom and guests also passed the cross around and were really grooving around the church. It was a great wedding though, very memorable

Friends sister’s wedding

Bride’s parents strongly disapproved and were adamant that they wouldn’t attend the wedding

After much begging and pleading from the bride they did attend at the last minute but were obviously very unhappy all day

By the time the wedding dinner happened everyone was quite drunk. Father of the bride is meant to do the first speech but he refused. Got a lot of heckling and cajoling for it from the groom and the grooms family and guests.

So father of the bride stood up and said “ok I’ll give you a speech” and he started absolutely ripping into the groom and the grooms family

The best man then punched the father of the bride during the speech and a big fight kicked off, rolling on the tables etc

Father and mother of bridge ended up leaving wedding when the fight finished.

It Took over a decade to reconcile with their daughter, during which time they missed out on two grandkids being born and they never saw the grand children when they were young

What did they dislike about the groom and his family?

They always caused trouble at weddings

As a wedding photographer, I've seen a fair few eye openers at weddings, but the pinnacle had to be being offered out by a very very drunk groom because my flash was annoying him, and someone stealing the entire sweet cart (not just a jar, but the whole damn cart).

About 12 years ago I went to a wedding where I got sexually assaulted by one of my partners friends, everyone, including my partner was like ‘oh he’s just drunk’. It caused a huge huge argument between me and my partner during and after the wedding, screaming, crying. I still feel bad about it now to be honest.

Safe to say they’re an ex now.

Bridesmaid pulled one of the wait staff and ended up back in her room with him after the reception. Her Dad suspected something was going and almost broke the room door down trying to stop it. He eventually managed to get his hands on the poor bloke and was looking like he was going to give him a proper doing until two of the hotel porters dragged him off.

He was demanding we call the police as his daughter would never do a thing like that and she must have been SA'd. We pointed out that the guy involved was only 15 and asked if he'd really like his daughter arrested for statutory rape. He shut up after that and it all blew over.

At the wedding breakfast father of the bride

(backstory bride n groom had been living together for several years, kid one was toddling & kid two was cooking, bride in maternity wear)

Father of bride says in speech how glad he is that daughter & fella got hitched before his second grandchild was born a bastard

West of Scotland wedding, mid 90s. I was working in the fairly nice hotel where it was being held.

Bride and groom both very very drunk. Considerably drinker than the bar takings would suggest they should have been.

While I can’t help with the wedding side of things, here’s my week to amuse, as by Tuesday I might be imprisoned.

On Monday my partner was dropped to a local walk-in centre due to being unsteady on their feet. Within 30 minutes they were in an ambulance to A&E for a stroke.

Spent the week being stressed, working reduced days, no car, no support network around me, peasant wagons everywhere while my car was needing to be picked up.

Thankfully they weren’t having a stroke but spent a week in observations and then their family ordered a phone call to inform me they were heading up a day early.

We both get stressed with their parents, so having them doing things in our house and then pandering to their every move infuriates me more.

My partner needs to work toward independence, and the mother trying to do everything for them I want to take them swimming with a brick (that’s ok), as Freddie once said.

In the late 80's i was working in a venue that was hosting a wedding. The mother of the bride commented negatively on the groom overheard by the grooms family, escalation ensued, full on fight on the dance floor between the family. Police called 14 arrested including the wedding party and 2 staff.

At a nieces wedding a drunken aunt of the groom wouldn’t leave our four year old son alone. He was going through a very clingy phase and was on the dance floor with us. She just kept trying to get him away from us. It was very awkward and she was upsetting him. In the end I got quite firm with her and she stormed off. Then she followed me to the toilets and tried to attack me. I locked myself in the cubicle and some of our family hustled her out. She spent ages whinging that I attacked her! Completely bonkers and everyone knew I wouldn’t have said anything unless it was one of my children.

Nowhere near as dramatic as the other answers so far but I had to chase after and tackle my 2 year old daughter as she ran down the aisle towards the bride and groom at a friend’s wedding. Bride was wearing a tiara and my daughter wanted to “meet the princess”. Luckily didn’t cause any disruption.

Best men making some incredibly offensive comments about the bride (who was Hong Kong Chinese) and her family - think "jokes" about mail order brides, eating certain types of animals etc, and claiming it was OK because "they don't speak English, they don't understand". She and I did not get on for various reasons but I felt so sorry for her after that.

They were also really mean about the groom (I suspect out of jealousy because he'd done quite well for himself), but that was what took it from on the edge of acceptable to way too far.

I went to a wedding where the bride's ex-husband gave her away and had the first dance with her once she got married to her new husband! He also gave a speech.

Not kidding - he was dressed like a Southern dandy in a burgundy suit with a ruffle shirt and he had a Terry Thomas style moustache.

As a bonus bit of weirdness - I sat next to a colleague of my wife's and I attempted to make small talk with him. I pointed out a small child having a lot of fun playing with a plastic cup and commented on how it must be nice to be able to find joy in something simple. He put his hand on my arm, looked me in the eye and solemnly stated "I don't even deserve that!" So that was the end of my I traction with him for the rest of the day.

Strangest wedding I've ever been too.

The bridesmaids dress caught on fire. Turns out open flames near dangling skirts mix extremely well. Thankfully it was caught very quickly!

At a fairly religious wedding (more new age Christian’s though) the groom had the pastor as his best man, and the best man speech was a slide show of ‘the stag do’ which was all photo shopped in various activities.

Tame compared to many here, but I can’t say too much more without it being too revealing.

The groom arranged for one of his mates to turn up in a gorilla suit when the photographs were happening. He chased the bride around until the groom and ushers caught her and helped the gorilla lift her dress and remove her garter

The bride was my cousin, they're still married 30 years later

Been at a wedding where at the reception a huge fist fight broke out between the groom and his brother in law!

But that’s the most exciting a wedding has ever been and that must have been in 1998!

They are boring! I dread being invited to one.. but you have to go don’t you!
