Another wedding (wife's friend), the brides dad died the day before the wedding, it still went ahead, 350 people and she walked up the aisle by herself crying. He wanted it to go ahead as he moves in political circles. He got so **** faced he had to be put to bed at 10pm. Same guy fell asleep in the urinal trough at my wedding..

We weren't serious enough that I was invited to the Wedding Reception, but I put on a shirt and went to the Mass in our parish church up the road and sat in with a few other neighbours and onlookers to say congrats and see my girlfriend in her bridesmaid's dress and all that good stuff. Midway through the Mass and before the vows, a commotion began in the next block of seats over from where I was. The priest stopped talking and everyone started standing up with a few of the Grooms family climbing over seats on their side. One of the Groom's aunts, not an especially old woman as I recall even from my teenage perspective, had slumped over dead in her pew. No warning, no outcry, no evidence of distress, just snap, dead. Top that for ruining a wedding.

It seems he was a friend of friend who was just starting out and the couple was persuaded to give him a chance..... He did put a lot of distance between him and the couple before he told them. Sent them a postcard from his holiday!

The ceremony was cancelled, obviously and the celebrant ended up administering the last rites to the lady who died. Somebody contacted the hotel and cancelled all the entertainment, but the guests were sent there anyway to eat before journeys home etc as it was all bought and paid for. The Bride and Groom eventually married quietly weeks later with just the Parish Priest and their parents as witnesses. Fair dues to the priest though, he arranged a little Chapel attached to a convent so they wouldn't have to be in the same Church. Its 30 odd years ago now but I'll never forget the sinking feeling I had when people realised what had occurred.

He gets a job photographing a wedding, so off he goes taking all the shots of the big day. So after the event he sends the prints to the now married couple. It only turns out that most of the photos were awful, with incorrect exposure, out of focus, and so on. A complete disaster. So the brother of the bride and the husband turn up at the photographer's door baying for blood. What does the photographer suggest? He says, let's get everyone back in their wedding clothes at the church and I'll take the shots again!

They were meant to be photographing from the church onwards so nobody copped they hadn’t showed until after the ceremony. All the guests just rowed in and took loads of pics - one of the uncles was decent with a camera so he sort of took charge and did a few shots etc. Back to the hotel and everyone is sitting down eating their dinner when the photographer shows up and starts insisting that the couple get up from their dinner and go to get photos taken. The best man politely but firmly told them to eff off. Still don’t know why they showed up 6 hours late.
