Worst Wedding You've Ever Attended - Page 5

ooooh...last stop before I go because when I think about these I kept taking mental notes for things myself and my s/o to place on our NOT TO DO list.

1. It's not that it was the worst but how GHETTO it was. I won't talk about the fact that the bride had spent 800K on a 400K house because she wanted 'all of the upgrades' and truthfully can't afford it and had (cuz she foreclosed a few months ago)her kids, sister's kids and baby daddy who wasn't working at the time kids, living there and then had the nerve to have the wedding in a large chruch which was 3/4 empty because dayum near the whole family was in the bridal party. There was a total of 40 people AT THE ALTAR including the bride and groom and 1/2 of them acted like they never saw formal wear before...and we aren't going to talk about the reception where we waited for nearly 2 hrs because they rented a stretch Hummer AND a Rolls Royce and got caught up taking pics and uhhhh....yeah they got pulled over.

2. This disaster...wow. Ummm...let's see...the couple who lived in MD decided that it was cheaper to do the ceremony in some non descript Hilton hotel off of the highway in this lil @ssed courtyard in the dead middle of August...add to that the bride who always for as long as I have known her been LATE for every dayum thing in her life was 1 and a 1/2 hrs late because she was STILL putting on makeup even though she had been up since the butt crack of dawn getting ready (the wedding was to start at 1pm) The funny part was watching the groom studder over the for richer or for poorer line (whu what? huh?..oh ok...) But the KILLER? THEY SERVED US BREAKFAST FOOD FOR THE RECEPTION DINNER!! And it wasn't nice gourmet food like crepes or Belgian waffles or French toast, but it was the STANDARD non descript no taste having breakfast food that you can get at ANY Hilton hotel that's...just off of the highway.

My boss' daughter recently was married in some sort of Mormon ceremony. I guess it wasn't a temple wedding because all the grandchildren were in the wedding.

Anyway, I guess during to vows the officiant asked the bride "is you is or is you not his baby?" to which she replied "I is". He then asked the groom "is you is or is you not his baby?".

We thought this was some sort of joke, but the officiant did it with a completely straight face.

Maybe he has an amazing poker face?

My cousin and his fiancee were both drama majors... The groomsmen walked down the aisle to the Darth Vader theme and the ceremony begins with the minister quoting from the wedding in The Princess Bride ("mawwige... is what bwings us togetha today.... wuv.... twue wuv.... is a dweam wivin a dweam") much to the discomfort of the audience. Everyone was dressed normally, short bridesmaids gowns, long wedding gown, groom in a tux, groomsmen in nice suits... and tennis shoes of their choice. Not all matching, or even close. When pronounced man and wife, the bride and groom straight up made out in front of everyone.. ick. Aside from all of that, the ceremony and reception were gorgeous. Just a little weird.

I just forwarded that story to a ton of people.

Hahaha! That's too funny... I can't believe that. Marching down the aisle to the Darth Vader theme... The most ridiculous processional/recessional music I've ever heard: "Baby Got Back" or "Ice Ice Baby."

I can do you one better: Recessional with "You know I want you!"

OMG, please don't tell me you're talking about that horrible Pitbull song that was really popular this summer. Some thing about one two three four uno dos tres quatro. PLEASE tell me that's not the song you're referring to.

We went to a wedding a few weekends ago, and the Priest gave the homily, talking about the wedding at which Jesus turned wine into water. He then went on to talk about how awful it would be to attend a wedding where there was no wine, and that of course Jesus couldn't let the honored guests at a wedding drink water.

And this went on for a few minutes while those of us in the know got increasingly more amused/uncomfortable because we knew that the bride wasn't having alcohol at the reception.

I don't actually remember the point of the homily, but I was glad that the Priest didn't make the reception.

Cute couple, sweet luncheon. But we all felt bad that her officiant hadn't been clued in.

Didn't he change water into wine?

Yes because the water back then was too dirty to drink. That's why the iced chai lattes were winey.

Indeed he did. Clearly, I didn't pay enough attention to the homily, or my proofreading.

Still, it was aaawkward.

Yes, that would be the one.

I went to a wedding a few years ago that must have had a Charles Dickens theme -- the best man was dressed like a chimney sweep. No need to re-read that...yes, I said chimney sweep. Apparently there is an old English legend that it is good luck to have a chimney sweep at a wedding, and this bride took it seriously. As for the best man, all I can say is that he was one extraordinary friend.

Did this make anyone else think of Mary Poppins?
