    Anyone got any funny wedding stories or even shocking ones? (the bride ridin the altar boy in the cupboard)

    I was at one where the best man in his speech told how the bridgegroom got a big poo poo stain on his towel on holidays. Although his words were 'brown encrusted tide mark'. Some tumbleweeds after that story!!

    maybe not that funny but embarassing/annoying depending on who you are: at my cousin's wedding, during the service, right when they were saying their vows a mobile goes off....the transylvannia theme on the nokias.....it was my mom's beside me. She couldn't find it for ages rooting in her handbag and was as red as a sunburnt tomato. I bet that's one funny wedding video. It was embarassing tho!! Only for the fact that she was sitting beside me I would have pretended I didn't know her!!
    I wouldnt mind only for that fact that i had said to my family to remember to turn off their phones before we went in and my mother laughed and said how awful it would be if one went off :):)

    That happened at the funeral of a friend who killed himself. We were starting to walk behind the car, the whole village was there, completely silent and a phone rang out very, very loud. Everyone looked around absolutley disgusted but we couldn't see who it was. After much scuffling between tears all eyes rested on the guilty culprit. It was me. I kid you not.

    I saw a video the other day on youtube or something where the bride was romping the best man on a surveillance camera somewhere in a garden.
    This during the reception. Good luck on that marriage...

    lol... The best man at my wedding really jumped off the deep end with his speech. I think he managed to insult everyone at the meal. He was staying over with me the night before and as my dad and I where reading the "wedding speech etiquette" book and preparing our speechs my best man said "ah i don't need that, a few beers always brings out the gift of the gab"

    So he went ad lib on the night. He talked for 10 minutes about how he hated french people as the stag was in paris, he then talked for 10 minutes about my wives bodily functions on a road trip in canada last year, then ended with a few jokes slagging off individuals in the audience. All in all, the most excrutiating 40 minutes of all of our lives. A few of my friends from germany actually left because of it stating "stupid ignorent Irish people, always so quick to judge other countries".

    I laugh now, but supposedly my best man had to call over to my parents house and pleed for forgiveness.

    Also. You know in the movies you see the guy putting the rose pettles all over the place on the wedding night. DONT DO IT, I put loads on the expensive covers in the presidential suite and they left red dye marks all over it. We where getting voicemails everyday on our honeymoon about "mysterious spoilages on the covers and carpet that needed removing". Embarassing :o

    heard this story last week.
    basically that the best man and the groom where found in a compromising position out the back of the hotel.
    some fella at the wedding went out looking for a place to get sick.
    got more than he bargin for!
    don't know how true this is.anyone else in galway hear this?

    as for my own story, i've managed to just about remember the first dance of the lovely couple and not remember the rest of the night of the last two weddings i've been at.
    Relations' weddings - there always too much drinking involved

    Nope, was a former neighbor.
    Hubby and I have been married 7 years strong (after living together before that even!).

    Slightly off topic but at my mams funeral this dog came legging it into the church barking its head off. It ran up onto the altar and started chewing at the priests trouser leg. The poor priest was struggling to act as if nothing was happening. Two of my neighbours got up and tried to grab the dog but it was a snappity little thing an it just kept doing laps of the altar occasionally stopping to bite at the priest leg. My ,mam would have found it hilarious and it really lightened the mood:o

    A man who used to work with my ex told me that he shagged the bridesmaid on the day of his wedding in a room in the hotel....i'm not sure how true it was but i believed him because he was.....well.....that type.


    also a wedding that was due to take place in my parish a few years back was called off because the prienst refused to do the wedding as the groom was drunk at the altar...they were pikeys.

    was at a wedding a couple of years ago and the groom chocked on his steak and had to be taken away in an ambulance!

    For the rest of the evening everyone said it served him right because he was a cnut and should have offered everyone steaks instead of turkey and ham!:D

    Wedding sometime last year I was told about. During the Best Man's speech he started by saying how well the bride looked (fine) and then continued on about how she was a bit of a heifer when the groom first met her. (not so fine)

    He then proceeded to list off all the groom's old girlfriends who were in the room at the time, making them all stand up and take a bow. Not too good especially when the bride didn't know that half of them were ex-girlfriend's.

    at a wedding I was at recently the best man was dared to use the expression "felching aside" in his speech. He did - rapidly "felchingaside...." I knew it was coming and it was hilarious watching the mother and father of the b&g asking each other "what did he say??"

    I heard a story one time..not sure if it is true,

    a groom found out his wife to be was having it off with the best man, so he hired a private detective to follow her and take some photos etc, anyway it turned out they were, so he went ahead with the 50k wedding that the brides father was paying for

    so at the reception after the wedding he stood up and thanked everyone for attending and to show his appreciation by leaving an A4 envelope for everyone in the audience

    in the envelope was a picture of the bride and the best man in bed!!

    the groom then stood up then told the bride and the best man were to go and said im off to get this marriage anulled and thanks for the 50k dinner! lol

    I was at a lecture once where the lecturer talked about the time he got married to his Japanese wife in Japan. He worked really hard to memorise a speech in Japanese to impress his wife to be's family and friends.

    Unfortunately, he mixed up the words 'people' and 'carrots' (similar sounding words in Japanese) throughout the speech, making various emotional statements such as 'I'm proud to be here speaking to all you carrots' and 'When two carrots fall in love...'
