16. E.L.:
My husband and I got married at a beautiful German restaurant owned by a German family. My father in law drank too much (as usual) and smashed a glass that cut the bartenders hand open. The owner asked him to settle down and he decided to do the goose-step and Hitler salute in the middle of our reception for all our guests to see, including the owners. It safe to say our wedding wrapped up pretty fast after that and we never returned to the restaurant again. I’m still mortified at the thought of it.

My worst wedding guest was my biological father. My step father has been a major part of my life for over 20 years so I asked him to give me away. My biological father has been in and out of my life my entire life and I really haven’t seen him more than a handful of times since I was a teenager (I’m 31 now). Anyhow, my father showed up at the wedding in a ripped t-shirt, denim shorts, and grass stained sneakers.
He started crying when he saw my step father walk me down the aisle and got up walked out, not avoiding making a scene. My cousin (his nephew) ran out after him and my father told him that he thought he was going to walk me down. Dressed like that… yeah right. He ended up leaving before the reception started but not without making me feel like the worst daughter in the world.
All of his family, who were around and aware of all the times he abandoned me, said that I was cruel for doing that to him and left too. I to this day still feel this overwhelming sense of guilt every time I think about my wedding day.
It turned out that I made the right choice though. I’ve been married for 3 years and have 9 month old twins. I called him when I found out I was pregnant and he told me he couldn’t wait to be a grandfather so he could fix the mistakes he made with me.
I haven’t heard from him since and he lives less than a mile away from me.

At my wedding, my step dad walked me down the aisle. My grandpa (my biological dads dad) brought his ex wife who he was dating again and after the ceremony she walked up to my step dad and told him ” I just want you to know how uncomfortable you made everyone feel” because my family wanted my biological dad to walk me down the aisle.
Separate story, my husband was the best man in his best friends wedding. This friend got particularly trashed at our wedding so he decided to “get him back”. He drank a fifth of whiskey before the ceremony. Barely made it down the aisle and then proceeded to stand over the buffet with fork in hand eating off of it. Then while waiting for the dance to start, yelled at me in front of everyone for letting him get so drunk. When he gave his best man speech he just talked about how the couple used to break up all the time until he was clapped off…

Here’s one from my own wedding. Invited my brother, who I hadn’t seen in ages. At the last minute, he asked if he could bring a guest. I agreed. We had buffets at both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding.
At the rehearsal dinner, his guest, a girl (not sure if they were dating or what), pushes in front of the rest of my family and bridal party at the food line, and says, “Well, the bride has her food, so its my turn now.” My brother wasn’t even in line yet. She then kept him away from my family the whole night (mind you, we haven’t seen him in months).
At the wedding she shows up in a dress the same color as my bridesmaids dresses (my brother had asked me what color they were wearing, and I told him she shouldn’t wear that color specifically). Same thing at the wedding buffet – she pushes in right behind my husband and I, and then had the gall to complain about the food right behind me. She and my brother drink the whole night, ignore me and my family, and when they are leaving, my brother cussed me out and called me a drunk. I had one glass of wine.
I don’t even remember this girl’s name, but she shows up in all the pictures of my husband and I getting food.

After my sisters wedding at a rural campground, the next day cleaning up we found a red solo cup that someone had taken a dump in. There were lots of bathrooms, so really no need for such a thing. It was a great reception, no outbursts or anything, but . . . WTF???
So now when someone talks about a crazy party anyone who was there says “was it shit in a solo cup crazy?”
P.S. This was several years ago and we aren’t heathens, it was a great wedding for 2 people very much in love. It’s just one of those things if you don’t laugh it off you’ll cry.
