Just went to a wedding about 13 days ago. This last Tuesday the groom calls me in absolute shambles. His best friend, who is (was) also his boss and is married, had been sleeping with his fiancée both before and after the wedding. This f*cking piece of sh_t was one of the camera men, and went around asking people to say nice things about the couple and turning the camera around to give long speeches about how they were meant for each other and he and his wife were so lucky to be their friends. So my good friend lost his best friend, his wife, and his job in a single sentence; his life is destroyed and he needs constant support. Best of all, the cheating bitch says she's in love with the boss/friend, and he says the same. (Source)

I went to a wedding a few weeks back and the lady in front of us in the church was wearing the same white, high street store dress that I had bought to wear for my own wedding in October. I'd also seen it worn by a lot of brides from a wedding Facebook group I am a member of too. It was white lace with a tulle skirt and gold embroidery. Basically, it was very bridal. She had random people in the street congratulating her as everyone walked to the reception venue across the village. I found out later on from the bride, she'd been asked by several family members not to wear it and still did. (Source)

If there is a professional photographer there get the hell out of the way. Put up your shitty cell phone with it's awful flash. Good money was paid so that they could capture quality images of the event and people constantly jump in front of the photographer and screw up the lighting. (Source)

Telling the bride about any hitches in the wedding. At my cousin's wedding, one of the guests told her (the bride) that the buffet was out of roast beef. She's stressed out enough and she doesn't need to know. Somebody else should take care of it. Tell the wedding coordinator or the maid of honor. (Source)

The most common issue I have seen is being underdressed. People show up in boots, camo, t-shirts, etc. It's not the end of the world, but if you can't get dressed up for a wedding, what do you dress up for? It's one of the most formal events a normal person will attend. (Source)

This recently happened in my family and now there's a whole bunch of drama. The common courtesy when you receive money in a card is to simply say "gift of money," as well as thanks for the card, but apparently the bride read out each and every total of how much money was in the card. Yeah, no... (Source)

Bringing a child to a child-free wedding. We had a child-free wedding this year, all the guests knew and then a couple (who we had told personally to not bring their child) turned up with their baby. Really put me in a sour mood with them and caused issues with people asking why their child was allowed but not their own. (Source)

I work the soundboard at weddings, please don't harass the staff. Some drunk dude comes up during the reception. "Hey... hey... hey... hey... can you play the cha-cha slide?" I'm sorry man, the bride gave me a very detailed playlist that didn't include that for a reason. Stop annoying me every five minutes. Im being polite and non-committal because I have to. Oh, and also pull up a family tree of the family you aren't familiar with and go over it. Pretty much a tenth of the time someone gets a name wrong on mic, and thats easily avoidable (Source)

On the day of my wedding, my caterer tried to hold the food we had already paid for hostage unless we gave her more money right then and there. Don't do that. It's kinda uncool. Luckily she caved when I called the bank to cancel the check I had already given her. (Source)

True story: years ago, I was at a wedding reception at a big hotel that had two receptions going at once. I went to the mens' room and a guy in a tux was crying his eyes out while another guy comforted him. I took my time, and learned that crying guy was the groom (from the other wedding), comforting guy was one of his groomsmen, and the cause of the drama was that groom walked in on his new bride having sex with his best man.

I went to a wedding where the mother of the bride had gotten engaged the night before (at the rehearsal). She then spent the entire reception at her daughter's wedding running around and showing everyone her ring and talking about how she was engaged. It was extremely classless, although the bride handled it perfectly. She later admitted to being livid, but you couldn't tell, which I found impressive. (Source)
