From monsters-in-law to demanding distant relatives, these people share the worst wedding guests they have ever had.
“Behind The Scenes, It Was A Nightmare”

19) I’m sitting on this horse (who’s afraid of flowers) and my dad takes off running down the hill. My lovely aunt-in-law refuses to move, refuses to take her dog elsewhere, and argues that her dog is not the problem so she shouldn’t have to move.
My dad lost it. Got an old friend to pick the dog up and carry it away from her and out into the back of the field. It wasn’t pretty. But, I made it down the aisle and my dogs behaved perfectly throughout the ceremony. The old friend kept the aunt’s dog with him all night (the aunt didn’t really even protest), and he missed everything.
My wedding was beautiful, but behind the scenes, it was a nightmare.”
Beware The Monsters-In-Law

20) “My mother-in-law tried to manipulate my wife into letting the mother-in-law’s boyfriend walking my wife down the aisle instead of her father.”–
21) “My mother-in-law asked us if we could reschedule our wedding closer to my wife’s step-brother’s, so she could come into town once for both. Our date was booked a year previously during the time of the request.”–
22) “My mother-in-law wanted to wear a white gown down the aisle. Insisted. Denied. Then complained the wedding didn’t focus on her enough. She complained after that we didn’t care because there was no special moment for her. We asked her like what and she said, ‘well, there are always mother-son dances.’ It was her daughter who was getting married. She was mad she was left off the toast list. She was mad the DJ didn’t bring her out for a special moment. In our haste, we made the day all about us and forgot her.”–
23) “I’m a wedding photographer. Last year, the mother of the bride wanted the DJ to help her play a game at the reception. The game was this: The bride sits blindfolded on a chair, while the groom and groomsmen circle around her. She then has to feel their junk and guess which one is the groom. The DJ was inexperienced but had minimal enough common sense to come ask for my professional opinion. I told him if he wanted to keep his job, he would never in a million years do that, and if the mother of the bride comes back, he needed to keep conveniently forgetting about it.”–
24) “When my wife told her mother that we were getting married her response was ‘Why are you doing this to me?’ and then told my wife that she wouldn’t go and that she would convince her whole family to boycott the wedding. This devastated my wife, she told my stepmom who took her out to find a wedding dress that day and she offered my parents’ backyard for the ceremony and reception. Well, after my monster-in-law found out that my stepmom took my wife dress shopping she freaked out because that was supposed to be something she and her daughter did together (in her mind) and she confronted my wife and my wife was like, ‘Why do you care, you’re not even going?’ At that point, the mother-in-law realized it was gonna happen without her and she changed her tune and got on board pretty quick.”–
25) “My mother-in-law wanted us to have a destination wedding at a resort in a tropical country. She spent months trying to get us to do this. Neither of us like the heat. But hey, that didn’t stop her from making my sister-in-law and her husband who both also dislike the heat get married in Cuba two years earlier so I kind of blame them for enabling her.”

26) “I had a small wedding and our budget included putting all 16 attendees (ourselves included) up in the bed & breakfast that we held our ceremony/dinner in. The day of the wedding, my mother tried to pressure my husband and me into switching from the honeymoon suite into the room she and my father were in with my kid sister (small bed, crowded, and a creepy mini bed in the closet for my kid sister).
