    I was at a wedding where the bride got locked and tried to strip off just as her father-in-law was making a speech.

    Then her chief bridesmaid went into labour and almost gave birth on the grounds of the venue.

    At the same wedding, a man got his mickey stuck in his zipper.

    Ever been to a comical/disastrous wedding?

    I'd never like to poke fun at the misfortune of others .

    I was at a wedding where the best man got full before the meal and made a total balls of the speech (just said 'you're both sound' and sat down again). He then stood on the bridesmaid's toe and bruised it and was in bed snoring by 8pm.

    Worst of all, that best man was me. :o

    Sorry but no wedding disaster story is ever going to beat the thread here a few months ago about the guy who sh!t bombed the wedding hotel.

    had a friend who worked in the bar in a very posh hotel (how he ended up there il never fully know)
    anywhoo....during the night the groom went away to bed around 12ish and the bride went back to a different room at the end of the night with some other chap:eek::eek:


    he said there was no fight etc the following morning...the groom...just checked out with his parents early...would love to know what happened in the end

    I was at a wedding where the nervous groom made a similarly disastrous, truncated speech, completely forgetting to mention his new wife and his own parents.

    I enjoyed my wedding day nonetheless.

    I hope my wedding is classy! It's the one event I'll stay sober at, because I don't trust myself

    Best thing about it is I'll never be asked again, my brother got married a couple of years later . . in secret.

    I did not drink a drop at my wedding and don't regret it. I just can't drink.
    A friend of one drank brandy before church and was hungover during meal. She did not enjoy any of her wedding day .

    I stayed sober at my wedding. Or so I thought. I looked over the photos the following day and my eyes were at a 45 degree angle on my face. Someone said to us the following morning that it was the only wedding they were ever at where the Bride and Groom changed into shorts and t-shirts half way through the evening. Best wedding I was ever at. Great craic.

    I was at a wedding where a young fella had too much to drink and puked all over the table during the meal. Then a man got up and starting singing about a woman who dildoed and diedeld along.

    Was at a wedding last year where the father of the bride mentioned in his speech that the bride had been in another relationship when she met the groom. He carried on with the speech. A few minutes later, he said "Errrr sorry, <bride> would just like to point out that she was single when she met <groom>"

    Awk-WARD!

    Can't really understand why anyone would get locked before having to make a speech.

    Some years ago I was at a casual wedding at a pub/venue. The toilets/plumbing blocked and sh*t and water flowed out into the function room. It was so bad, 2 bridesmaids starting vomiting. Like something out of a bad horror movie.

    We moved into the bar for 2 hours. The bar was full of a rugby team. They were hammered and kept making passes at the women, pinching arses, etc. The wedding party just kept drinking to blot out the whole thing; bride and groom were legless. Nightmare night.

    I had no speeches at my wedding. I didn't want to make one, and nobody wanted to hear one. As I said - great wedding.

    One or two to calm the nerves, sure. But getting wasted is a bad idea.

    That said they say Churchill never made a sober speech.

    Nerves, I guess. Or alcoholism.

    I was at a wedding where the groom started his speech with 'thanks everyone for coming. I'm just glad this day is here because to be honest it's been nothing but stress for the last 6 months'. Bride was not impressed and proceeded to poke and prompt him for the rest of his speech...

    At the last wedding I attended, that of my girlfriend's brother, I had to physically stop a friend of the bride from giving her child alcohol. Turned out they had been doing it all evening and they found it hilarious.
    Then the bride came storming into the men's room later in the evening, screaming that it was the last dance, and everyone needed to be on the dance floor, or her night would be ruined. She was just a ****ing bitch.
    I left shortly after.
