That's about the 5th different version of that I've heard over the years. Used to be photographs of the bride and the best man stuck to underside everyone's chair and so on.

Agreed, total urban myth. I've heard variants of that story a good few times over the years. And it's always the groom getting revenge on the bride, for some reason.

Think about the logisitics. Even with exact place settings put down, people often do switch seats. It'd be lucky to have all the right people in all the right places. He could have picked a more believable number. And usually people are just assigned a table, not a seat. And the hotel staff would have to be instructed to put a red dot plate at the right settings or the groom sneak into the dining room and do it himself. And, really, would someone really be able to go through with the ceremony, knowing what they know? An annulment is still hassle to obtain. How did it come out that she slept with all those men? Would he really be able to keep it secret that he knew before the wedding day?

Sorry to ramble on, but it annoys me when people try to pass an urban myth off as something that actually happened to them! It's not the first time that has happened in the red chair either.
