I can't think of any for me right off the bat, although I did go to one wedding where they had an expensive ice scuplture of two swans with blue water running through it and then served stale goldfish crackers as a light snack and had mac and cheese on the buffet....
One of my friend's had a horrible experience standing up in another sister's wedding. It was a destination wedding in Orlando, but they couldnt' afford to have it in Disney World, so it was just at a hotel in Orlando. My friend was a bridesmaid and was told she had to fly down 3 days before the wedding. She arranged with the bride to have someone pick her up and when she landed and called the bride told her no one was coming and to take a public bus or call a cab. She she took a bus, checked in at the hotel and realized the next two days were basically the bridesmaids taking the bride out and paying for everything. they went out to Pleaure Island for Drinks one night and the night before the wedding she was informed that they would be getting dinner at a restaurant in Epcot so she had to pay to get in to the park and pay for dinner and that she realized when she got there that, once again, all the bridesmaids had to pay for the bride.
My friend came back and when I asked her how it was she stated that she thinks she spent more money being a bridesmaid than the bride did on the entire wedding.
After this and three nights at an expensive hotel she was expecting a snazzy wedding. Nope, 10 minute ceremony by the hotel chaplain (who left before signing the marriage license) an Ipod for a DJ, nothing but appetizers for dinner and no where to sit and the bride and groom left halfway through and never contacted her bridesmaids to thank them or anything...
