Shocking Real-Life Weddings That Were Totally Derailed By a Huge Disaster

Not all weddings end in happily ever after moments for the celebrated couple and their friends. These wedding stories all include total disasters ranging from cheating grooms to bridezillas that ruined their special day.

All of the flowers in the world couldn’t distract their invited guests from the total train wrecks that these weddings turned out to be.

We’re No Longer Friends

On the day of my friend’s wedding, I got horrible news that my 6-month-old nephew had passed away in his sleep. I told my friend what had happened and explained that I couldn’t go to her ceremony.

I thought she’d understand. I was so wrong. She tells me that she didn’t care about my nephew. This was her “special day.” Apparently, I had to send someone to “fill in for me” at the funeral so that I could be at her wedding.

It took me a few seconds to cool down, but I managed to calmly state that I’d be supporting my sister through her grief and then hung up the phone. The bride and I are no longer friends.

Dancing Mishap

One of the groomsmen was dancing with the maid of honor and they did a dip maneuver. The problem with this being that the maid of honor’s dress was strapless, and her boobs had recently swelled up—

She was pregnant—so that maneuver made them pop right out of the top of her dress in front of the whole dance floor.

The Bride Reacted in Horror and Disgust

Easily the worst was when the father of the groom, apparently entirely sober, gave a ten-minute toast that devolved into openly complaining that his son got to have sex with the bride and he didn’t.

And this wasn’t a mistimed joke about how pretty she was, this was a full-on lament about growing old and how women didn’t find him attractive anymore and that all he wanted was to take his daughter-in-law to bed.

I got a few photos of the bride and groom reacting in horror to this and then I went and hid with the catering staff in the kitchen, who were peeking out the door to observe the carnage.

Are There Any Objections?

At my (half) sister’s wedding, when they got to the objection part, her mother (same dad, different mum) leaned across to another family member and whispered, “Yeah, he isn’t good enough for her.”

The officiant stopped the wedding and asked her to speak up, saying it’s a legal part of the wedding and if she has an objection then please state it loud enough for everyone to hear.

My sister’s mum laughed it off and sat down red-faced…while I glared evils into the back of this woman’s head. My sister is awesome, and the guy she’s with makes her super happy.

At the reception, things got so much worse. In his speech, he thanked the mom for accepting him into the family and said how happy he was to have another mum (both his parents have died). Oof from me.
