10 Most Cringe-Worthy Wedding Disasters

Weddings are one of the worst times for disasters. It's almost impossible to live them down. If you are planning to tie the knot, whether with a huge ceremony or a private one, consider these 18 incredible stories of wedding faux pas. Don't let them happen to you.

Awful Family

A bride reported that her mother-in-law wore the same shade of ivory that she did. She tried her best to upstage the bride. The rest of the family was caught stealing the top of the wedding cake.

What Else Could Go Wrong

This wedding just kept falling apart piece by piece. First the matron of honor declined her invitation after being diagnosed with breast cancer, and then a groomsman said he couldn’t leave his state since he was a witness in a murder trial. The father of one bridesmaid had a heart attack on the wedding day, toiletries leaked all over the bride’s sister’s dress, and to top it all off, the groom’s daughter had head lice!

Missing Ring

One young ring bearer lost the wedding ring along his 20 foot walk. What made matters worse was the fact that the outdoor wedding was on top of 3 inch grass. The entire wedding party got on hands and knees for 30 minutes to search while the bride’s song played on repeat.

A Grave Wedding

While the bride was posing for wedding pictures, her brother teasingly pulled on her hair. Unfortunately, the pictures were at the top of a hill, and the yank caused the bride to tumble down the hill. To make matters more grim, the bride wound up landing on someone’s grave!

Bad Priest

A handicapped priest hand-picked by the couple showed up an hour late. He constantly got the couple’s names wrong. To make matters worse he started making handicapped jokes.

She What?

A wedding caterer reports seeing the groom’s mother talking to female servers. She was trying to get them to tell her son what a mistake he had made getting married. She apparently was trying to get him to cheat.

Uninvited Guest

A stranger showed up at a wedding. No one seemed to know her. She got drunk and verbally trashed the bride to anyone who would listen.

Toast in Poor Taste

A groom’s friend announced while toasting the couple that the groom was not the father of the couple’s new baby. The groom actually already knew this. The couple had met when the bride was already pregnant and were trying to pass off the baby as his.

Seriously, Don’t

A bride’s mother got trashed at the reception. She showed up at the honeymoon suite wearing only a bath mat. She threw up in the trashcan and then climbed in bed with the bride and groom.

Wedding Dress Sabotage

The groom’s cousin had her own wedding gown made strapless and shortened. She wore the dress to several more weddings. At a couple of the weddings, the bride also wore a white short strapless gown.

Long Speech

A bride’s father had too much to drink. He took the mic and made a one-hour slurred speech. Every time someone tried to take the mic away, he would grab it back.

Bad Scene

A groom and groomsman got in a fight at a military wedding. The grooms mother jumped in and got cut. As she was bleeding, it was learned that she was HIV positive.

Bad Humor

A wedding is not the time for a tasteless joke. A wedding officiator asked the groom for his vows who pulled out the obituaries and started reading them. The bride was not amused.
