    Has anyone here ruined a wedding or been to a wedding that was ruined? Let us say, someone has stood up during the mass service and said that this person should not marry him or she.

    Not really, but I was at a wedding where a guy got too drunk and started repeatedly heckling the speeches.

    I heard from two lads that were at a wedding that the best man went on and on about the stuff that happened at the stag to the point that the brides mother put a stop to it.

    First they came for the socialists...

    The groom got drunk and decked the best man!
    The marriage didn't last either.

    I was at one where the bride and groom had obviously had a huge row sometime before the ceremony. They barely looked at one another in the church or at the reception. Both their parents looked mortified at the top table, the speeches were excruciating as no one knew whether to laugh at the obvious jokes.

    Later in the night they would turn and walk in the opposite direction if they found themselves approaching each other.

    They split up less than 2 years later.

    Was at a wedding where the father of the groom was extremely drunk during his speech

    I never met the guy before but what I was told is he was a very occasional drinker who went way over his limit on the day.

    Don’t know if it was due to nerves or simply people buying rounds etc.

    Felt a bit sorry for him, it was embarrassing for everyone

    There was a lad that was in a group of friends I hung out with. I was at his first wedding, girl was a stunner. They ended up splitting up shortly after and then later getting divorced. I had left Ireland at that stage and wasn't in contact with him, but he moved on and met someone and was getting married again. Some of my mates were at this wedding and it was time for the speeches. The lad stood up and wanted to toast his new wife and he called her by the ex-wifes name. Didn't go down well.

    I was at a wedding where the brides family turned on all the grooms side with snarky comments all day, then the grooms family turned on each other. Fisticuffs between sisters, ambulance called, all sorts. Bride ended up insulting a few guests at the end, then slipped and went head over heels in a pool of spilt beer as she tried to storm off. It was quite the fitting ending.

    At another, the best man was giving his speech and mentioned there would be no more craic with the groom now he was married - delivered with a look at the bride as he said "there's always one c*nt that has to spoil the party"

    My cousin at his brothers wedding collapsed on purpose, he went down to the left like someone took the leg from under him, he didn't even put his hand or arm out to break the fall.....

    Was funny watching it on video as we weren't at it....

    I was nearly that guy, hadn't even touched the pint yet, lovely cold one sitting in front of me, others were worried about me as I went white....

    Took some nurofen which a girl had on her, went up and actually conked out in the hotel bed, we had brought shots, drink, disco lights and speakers as we always do so we are getting ready or when it all ends we tend to keep going, all the wife's friends wanted to come up and check on me but one funnily was thinking I had someone up there,I had got up about 10 minutes before they arrive up.

    I had the disco lights going, music and was drinking a can.....

    It was a great night from then on.

    Was at a wedding where the best man said as part of his speech "This marriage will be like a league season, half played at home and half played away" at which stage the bride starting bawling crying and had to be escorted away. The best man was alluding to the fact that the groom was always "playing the field" but it turned out the bride was having an affair for years and 1 of their children wasn't his, the whole wedding just finished then, no band, dance or anything, everyone just went to the bar, up town or home.

    I was a plus one at a wedding where the bride's father collapsed and died just after the wedding party reached the hotel for the reception. Massive heart attack.

    After the bride and some of her immediate family left to follow the ambulance to the hospital, there were some ugly scenes amongst those left behind because the groom's family wanted to continue on with the party because "it was paid for anyway" and the bride's family were (understandably) upset.

    It was actually one of the saddest things I've ever seen.

    I've had a few "experiences". One where the bride was so nervous she got pissed in the early champagne and was in bed by 7pm. Never reappeared. Another where one of the groomsmen got horredndified and put to bed early by his missus under great protest by himself. He arrived down half an hour later, into the banquet stark naked and did a few laps of the dance floor and the guests seating area before heading back to bed happy as Larry with himself

    I know of one wedding where the groom got himself so coked up that the celebrant offered an annulment to the bride at the reception.
    Made a complete twat of himself. Marriage didn't last long either.

    My own wedding, considering my family straits at the time went off surprisingly well.
    Apart from a drunken work colleague deciding that she was being threatened by the meekest girl in the place ;)

    OMG I hope she took him up on that - save a fortune in solicitors fees :0

    I was at a very fancy one - black tie, no expense spared - when up rocked a cousin with two children and one screaming from a pram, wedding was strictly a no children affair, cousin plonked herself at ‘our’ (full) table and atarted ordering high chairs and plate settings for herself and the kids - staff didn’t know what to do but obliged her with one high chair and an adult plate setting - the bride stormed down from the top table to call her out on it and insisted neither her nor her children be served and be removed from the reception. Manager was useless, no security on the door - naturally - so cousin just sat and refused to move. Eventually she started feeding her baby a bottle and begged things from other peoples plates and used random spoons and the sideplates for herself and the kids. Everyone was eyes on her and the groom nearly had to wrestle the bride to the floor she was so livid. One child screamed all the way through the speaches which were repeatedly pointedly stopped while they were states at. She travelled - without her husband - from the other end of Ireland to make this holy show of herself. neither groom nor bride were close to her & as a courtesy she and her husband had been invited - without children - like all others but had not rsvp’d. I can still see the rage on the brides face. It will never be forgotten, nor forgiven.

    Similar here (without the RIP). Attended a wedding where the father of the bride had a heart attack after dinner and had to be attended to by the bride (a nurse).

    I was at this wedding where the ex girlfriend flew over from New York and turned up at the ceremony. Just before hand she tells the groom that she loved him, but he rejects her and decides to go ahead anyway. Then in the middle of the vows, he says her name instead of the bride's! Hilarity ensues.

    Marriage didn't last. He ended up with the ex in the end after a few years.

    Years ago I was at an evening reception of a work colleague's wedding. Money was tight and both bride and groom had large families, so tried their best to include as many as possible.

    They decided that it would be a "no children" day, as between both families there were about 18 under 14s.

    One side of the family (think it was the groom) took great exception to this, and as the evening do got started, a parent walked in with all of the nieces and nephews from that side of the family. The kids proceeded to get under the feet of everyone (it was a small function room) and upset the married couple on what should have been their happy day.

    The only hassle I ever saw myself at a wedding was at that of an old college friend about 15 years ago where some uncle of his got plastered before the meal at the reception and started heckling the speeches. Situation was swiftly dealt with - he was politely asked to leave and “retired” to his room.

    With all the crap, hassle, stress, expense etc of a “traditional” heterosexual wedding - and the distinct possibility someone will get far too drunk and/or a row will ensue between in-laws, I am so glad I am a gay man and my nuptials with my OH will be pretty simple and low key. :D

    It’s great when there’s no expectations on the day of getting hitched so no pressure to do “the done thing.”

    Was at a wedding a few years ago where one of the guests came within 2-3 seconds of puking about 10 pints of Guinness all over the bride. An eagle eyed friend spotted said guest was about to barf his guts up while standing directly behind the sitting bride.

    Thanks be to jaysis that didn't happen.

    Didn't ruin the wedding but was at a one where the the best man started the speech by listing all the great times he had with the groom, the big nights out and the casual pints etc, the times they had buzzing around together from school till now. Everyone waited for the punchline but it never came, the more he talked to more emotional he got. He never mentioned the bride or anyone else apart from the groom. Felt like a breakup

    Bride knocked back a bottle of vodka and wine before she even got to the ceremony.

    Wedding delayed as she was fed coffee, was in no state to walk so the wedding took place on chairs.

    It was an outstanding wedding.

    Mad altogether. I would imagine that this fact could be used as a basis for an annullment later on if one of them wanted.
    I mean, signing a legal contract you are meant to be in your right state of mind. while fúcked off of your head drunk, you are hardly in a fit state to be signing a legal contract that quite literally signs your life away.

    Well unless you were on a 3-month bender, you'd have to have given it at least some sober thought in advance!
