I'll add my own wedding. The pastor was so sure he didn't need to do a rehearsal the day before... during the wedding realizes he doesn't actually know my husband's name outside of his nickname... I did my best to hide the annoyed look I felt creeping onto my face.

[@haukenot3345]

The name thing is a fauxpas, I'll give you that. I've never heard of a pastor attending a wedding rehearsal though. Is that really a reasonable expectation where you live? Obviously, you meet with the pastor to plan the ceremony, but unless your wedding venue is very extraordinary and requires changes of procedure, I don't think it is necessary to meet on site.

[@shiorywalker7978]

​@@haukenot3345 In my city for Catholics church, it's obligatory to attend one rehearsal, if you don't, they change the date for your wedding 😅(that's what my brother told me) I don't know if they keep doing this after COVID because a lot of rules had change... But what I known before the ceremony they write in a note the names of the Groom and Bride

[@haukenot3345]

@@shiorywalker7978 I would hope they don't just write that down in a note. Usually, a pastor needs to see some form of identification before officiating a wedding, and properly document it. After all, they need to make sure that you're not already married.

[@YahavehsSoldier]

@haukenot3345 it is especially when trying to figure out the walking order and stuff like that. I was really annoyed because the pastor (who was a family friend at the time) had just been at my home for a holiday dinner days prior and signed our marriage certificate that same day. Lol, I was just so dumbfounded, but later down the road it helped me to see that he really never was invested in our lives as much as we helped with the church.

[@shiorywalker7978]

@@haukenot3345 I didn't know, maybe they did that in the rehearsal, but we were waiting to open the doors and a lady came by to write the names of the Groom and Bride. if I remember correctly, he went to the church to get his certificate days after everything was over Just remembered they didn't let him inside (I was mad for that, it was before the pandemic and it was really hot outside 120°F/49°)

The caking thing... that happened to my best friend. She didn't cry. She kneed him in the balls. Refused to sign the marriage license to be files and told the preacher who officiated the wedding that it never happened. She proceeded to rip the license in half and walked out. We went on a girls trip instead of "their honeymoon" and had a good time. She's never been married. That was 30 years ago. She refuses to even consider it. And she now despises cake. The sob actually smashed into her face so bad it was in her eyes and nose. He's on his 4th marriage. I can't understand why he can't hold on to partner. He's an ass. The cross-eyed officiant... the only thing close is the priest with the speech impediment from The Princess Bride. Oh. My. God. BWAHAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Went to a wedding, bride was 18 groom 19 and the officiant spent the entire ceremony trying to talk them out of the marriage. He should NOT have agreed to perform the ceremony if he was against it, was it doomed, of course, did it end within a year, yes. Was the pastor an asshole, epically. I'm glad he accidentally set his robe on fire over the unity candle. 😅

[@anabelroutledge]

Oh man do I have a story too! I'll keep it as short as possible: I'm friends with twins and the girl was getting married. As it was a queer wedding they opted to have her twin brother instead of a preacher. He added random things into the reading, trying to be funny and nostalgic. Think stories and comments that should be saved for the reception. Things like: "I wish -OTHER BRIDE- would have had more kids before you transitioned so -THEIR 3YR- would have a sibling relationship like you and me." Whatever kind of wholesome in a weird way but not the time. Also, she doesn't want to be reminded that she's trans and had held off their wedding so they could have a biological child before her to then transition. The rest of the wedding was okay and he realized he fcked up and was able to fix their relationship. We kind of laugh about it now 2yrs later but take this as a lesson to not get siblings or close friends to do the reading because even normal people can do stupid things lol

[@meredithjohnson2843]

Was a bridesmaid- they had us take wedding photos outside in April- in upstate NY- I was like 90 pounds soaking wet so not well insulation in a strapless dress. We were out there for a better part of an hour- came back inside to a hot hotel lobby and my whole world went black. I’m guessing my blood vessels dilated too quickly from the temperature change. The worst part was everyone thought I was just sloppy drunk- my fiancé had to carry me up to the suite. It was awful. Also didn’t get to sit with my immediate family at my only brothers wedding reception because my pushy aunt insisted on being a part of the action.

[@SewardWriter]

Your aunt sucks. :(

[@stadot1427]

Similar climate for my wedding, so the bridesmaids dresses were REQUIRED to be floor-length and NOT strapless. I even urged them to consider wearing thermal pants and bringing shrugs or sweaters. In retrospect, maybe I should have provided shawls, but since their dresses were mismatched it might have been tricky and we lucked out with the only sunny Saturday the whole month.

[@KatzuBlood]

I loved my wedding but know it wasn't of the traditional style. I wore a red Japanese Lolita dress, and the wedding colors were red, gold, and black. The dress was picked because I was actually just wanting a party dress cause we weren't going to have a full ceremony. Just a party in the grandparents' backyard. It grew way to big and turned into an actual wedding and it was great. The song we walked up the aisle to was from Chrono Trigger, and we danced to -I can't stop loving you. We had cupcakes instead of a whole cake and the venue didn't allow alcohol but we had sparkling martinellis for drinks to toast with. One of my husband's friends didn't want to wear a suit and asked if he could wear his Boba fett costume he made. It looks amazing and you can see Boba Fett in the background of so many pictures. Some might say it was cringe or awkward but me and my husband have been happily married 7 years.

Man, i feel like i dodged a billion bullets at my wedding. The food was cooked by my husband's family but it was actually pretty good! My husband did all the flowers himself, but he worked at the floral department of a grocery store and it's actually really good at creating floral displays, so it was lovely, she it was also really sweet knowing that my bouquet (and everything else) was made for me as essentially a gift from my husband. The music really was just a playlist off my phone that my aunt had control over, but it went great, i labeled all the playlists really carefully so it went just how i wanted. I walked down the aisle to the theme song of my favorite anime... But the anime is ballet themed so it's actually just a very gentle piano piece, i don't think anyone that wasn't a total nerd knew. We didn't have any dancing at the wedding because i knew i would freak me out (turns out i had undiagnosed generalized anxiety disorder haha), but that meant that i was genuinely fairly relaxed at the wedding and didn't panic or freakout once. It was really nice, and I've been told by a lot of people that it was one of the prettiest weddings they've been to. (Aided a lot by the fact that we were able to rent out a really pretty park nearby my parents home that my husband and i spent a good amount of time in while we were dating... Nature did a lot of the decorating.) Also I didn't sing. That seems to be a pretty important part, not singing.

I remember for my aunt's wedding when I was 14 all her nieces and nephews had some sort of roll... except for me. Her 2 grandkids were maid and man of honor, my other aunt's daughter and three sons were the ring bearers (with dad to help and baby in the wagon), my little sister was the flower girl, and my brother was playing the guitar and singing. She was so happy she found a way to include ALL her nieces and nephews, even the ones that were grand nieces and nephews (her youngest daughter wasn't included because she was disowned after my aunt divorced her ex, and my oldest cousin couldn't come because she lived in Texas and couldn't get to the off work for the travel and everything.) My brother was the only one who noticed that I was the only nibling left out and talked my aunt into letting me sing with him the night before the wedding.

Not at a wedding, but the singing down the aisle thing made me remember a couple we used to know. She loved to sing, but wasn't great. Husband always made a fuss over her singing voice and told everyone they ever met what a great singer she was. Sweet that he supports what she loves in such a great way, but it sucked for everyone else because they never passed up an opportunity to share her "gift" with everyone. We spent too much time listening to her sing and watching her hubby swoon about her "beautiful voice". Tbf, she wasn't the worst ever, but was regularly off tune and it was just hard to get on board....

So, when my aunt got married a while ago, the groom sang to her. He was a decent singer at least and even if he wasn’t it was an extremely touching moment that my aunt clearly hadn’t expected. So it’s not always a cringeworthy thing to do but when it’s an obvious ploy to tug at the heartstrings of everyone in the room that’s when the cringe happens. It worked at my aunt’s wedding because it was very clear that the gesture was for her and her alone and the rest of us just happened to be witness to it.

Same. My husband had a tie with the schematics of the Millenium Falcon printed on it and I think his processional might have been from Star Wars (idr, he picked it).

I've only ever been to like, two, as far as I can remember. This "wedding" I went to, wasn't official, it was just a couple of our friends doing a ceremony as if it were, and then our whole friend group were the attendees. The mentioned dead relatives/loved ones was what made it awkward for me. The ceremony was over and we were making a few speeches, but then one of my friends (not one of the couple getting "married") stepped up and made a speech about someone else in the friend group who'd died recently. The sentimental intention was there, but it made it awkward for those few people (me included) who didn't know said friend that well. The same person who brought up this speech had also, earlier on, proposed to their SO just after the the grooms (the couple were two bisexual guys) had finished their initial ceremony

My ex wasnt there, but we had been together about 4 years, so i had met most of his extended family, and his parents, aunts, uncles and cousins were all there. Noone recognised me because noone had expected me to be there, on the grooms guest side, and it had been a few years since id seen any of them During the reception, one person recognised me.

Last wedding I went to: the wedding photographer banned anybody else from taking any photographs during any part of the wedding, reception and after-party. She informed the entire congregation that, if they wanted a photograph, they had to purchase it from her and gave a full price list - up to, and including, pictures of the bride and groom in a £500 (plus VAT) gold frame. She then proceeded to stop the wedding mid-flow every time she wanted to get a specific shot. Afterwards tried to get the 200+ guests to become a kind of rent-a-crowd and ordered them around for over an hour while she maneuvered us around like soldiers on parade, all the while taking group shots from the top of ladders, framed in the light from windows, looking upwards from ankle height (?) and trying to get a group of 200+ tired and pissed-off people to 'smile'. While this was going on, nobody was allowed to sit down on the very few chairs provided - not even the elderly or physically handicapped. This went on for so long that the food was served late, cold and rushed. The foolishness only stopped when the groom's uncle finally reached the end of his tether and declared that "This will be the last photograph taken and do you want me 'tits in or tits out?' Your choice". We left early and went for a curry. Oh... and we have no photographs of the event.

My wedding isn't as bad as some of these, but pretty tacky. I was 18 (almost 19), a little over 6 months pregnant with my first, husband was 21. We got married at the local Grange hall, we were broke kids so everything was done a cheaply as possible ($99 dress sale @ David's bridal, flip flops from Walmart, hairdresser student sister in law, makeup enthusiast aunt, crafty mom and Grandma in law, we had lots of help and donations). A family friend made our cake as a gift, we did the potluck thing (we had a fridge though). We had asked an old pastor and father of a friend my husband had to be the officiant, a week before our wedding he randomly said he couldn't/wouldn't do it (no explanation). So we called around to all the people we knew that could possibly fill in our help us find someone. When that didn't work, my husband's grandparents (who were the biggest help through it all) took us to the courthouse and we got married there a few days before the wedding, then a family member who was no longer licensed but had been formerly did the officiating for our ceremony and his high school daughter was our photographer. I had wanted an outdoor wedding but everyone convinced me early October in Oregon PNW would be too cold, they were wrong. We also got rushed through the whole thing, barely got a chance to eat, didn't get to dance at all or do much of anything. The wedding started at one, hubby and I were out of the building and headed to the coast for our honeymoon by 4. There was a lot I wish we could redo, especially after seeing how nice my little sister's weddings were - but a perfect wedding doesn't always symbolize how a marriage will turn out. We get 2 anniversaries (marriage and wedding) and This year will be our 14th. We just had baby number 5 in February and everything is good. We've talked about having a vow renewal at some point that meets our expectations a little more, so maybe next year or for the 20th we'll plan something like that. Not all weddings have to be perfect to result in happy lives, but admittedly I wish there was more fondness when I thought about our wedding.

(almost all well educated white people with i am better than the rest syndrome.) after an awkward first hour that wedding got from classic white themed to fancy rock themed really quick and everyone had agood time. there where scenes like: One big bearded rocker guy as flowergirl ( the other one had left with her family) and the original shy 5 yo girl . grandma trying to grill a half of a pig over open fire and was cheared on by a lot of long haired men in lether atire and fine gentzlemen in formal atire (the pig was almost her sice) the wedding ceremony itself was outcourced to a nice lake nearby because the huge musik stage had blocked the spot for the photograpic scene that was planned. both partys helped setup the transportinging and setting up the szene. the big flower buckets for example where strapped to 2 atvs for transport. it looked like 2 piles of pants with 4 n wheels and a hed in the middle.

"Do not ever sing at your wedding. It will not go as you expected." Musician weddings: Am I a joke to you? But I suppose I'm biased because my uncle did that, and it went...fine.

Girl even your biased example still isn’t good 😂

Ok, but Marrying Mum and Dad was occasionally a really sweet show. On one episode, the kids wanted to arrange a wedding for their mum's, and they went with a Doctor Who theme because of Madame Vastra and Jenny. And yes, dressing up as a lizard person from the dawn of time and her Victorian maid wife is cringe, but it was really really adorable, and everyone knew what they were getting their selves into asking a couple of 8-10 year olds arrange a wedding. The kids also didn't organise everything, the show did, they just did things like pick the dress, cake and decorate.

[@melissacooper8724]

On that show were the parents already married? Or were they divorced and was planning to remarry?

[@HeidiSholl]

@@melissacooper8724 Usually parents who were never already married, and didn't have time after having children. So there were a lot of blended families and families from less wealthy backgrounds.

[@justagirl7094]

24:41 Kind of reminds me of the “wedding” from the Solitary Cyclist 😂

[@mantaxiaofaye44]

That wedding under the overpass was the best thing I've heard in a long time 🤣👍 23:45 - 28:45

[@hayaq9991]

My now ex husband didnt want to reschedule the wedding so told me to wear any dress in the closet.. so i wore the black dress my previous bf bought me from a fancy dinner for my wedding 😬 my black family is superstitious so yes the comments weren’t comfortable but to endure.. that wedding left a bad taste in my mouth.. we divorced in 2 yrs

[@behiyepalo2985]

It was my cousin's wedding. I was 12 or something. In my country men have to go to the army to serve around a year. He was marrying his highschool sweetheart who was also their next door neighbor. Some people said she was pregnant and that's why they were rushing to get married before my cousin goes to the army which was less than a month later. It was a very cold winter day and we were in a poor area so wedding venues are just the street where your home is. While the bride was at the hair dresser, her stuff was being displayed as a culture like her hand nitted blankets for babies, her clothes and make up which my aunt bought which is again the tradition, her gold and stuff. We have pretty effing entitled relatives in my culture who can claim anything and you have to give it to them kinda. Satifsiying them is more important than anything else. Effing sucks. During the display, a lady I don't remember who liked a particular item of the bride and said "yup, I am taking this.That wh0re doesn't deserve anything good anyway" and after that, many people claimed and took her stuff and damaged the rest. In less than an hour a room full of her stuff were either stolen or damaged beyond repair. We couldn't stop the crowd. That was the most frustrating moment of my life. When the bride came to check the stuff she rightfully lost her shit and cried, screamed, tore her wedding dress and her hair and make up was ruined. Her father beat her up to silence and made her attend her own wedding in that state. Her friends rushed to her help to make her look a little more presentable. I couldn't stop crying because as a female this could very well be my future too and my father would do exactly as her father did without a second thought. My cousin really loves her but I don't know how you would get over such a thing. Brides don't get a lot after the marriage, we have a pretty sick culture. I left my hometown for university at 18 and never looked back.

[@saagabragi6938]

16:40 How do you actually spell that? I hate auto-subtitles

[@gemcorker3982]

Apparently "stukje" is correct. Google / Wiktionary tells me it's Afrikaans, derived from Dutch & "stuk" means piece (as in a piece of apple) and the diminutive form is "stukje" can refer to skits, sketches and small plays the same way English & American might call them "bits" - as in, "the best man's speech was so bad we thought it was a bit / he was doing a bit"

[@HexisVonSpade]

REJOICE! xD thanks dude!

The only Carrie Underwood song I know is before he cheats and that would be very inappropriate

[@turtlelongingforchaos9055]

Absolutely right with the under-an-overpass comment, if OP isn't a writer of some kind I hope they look into it

[@equestrianrosie]

Story 29 was absolutely fantastic. I want to meet this woman.

[@Bbrain_DeadD]

[@pshaw8406]

I want to see a movie based on "Under the Overpass."

[@nokuphiwamathenjwa4229]

Story 49 is an ABSOLUTE TRIP!!🤣🤣 ditry laundry wasn't hang out, it was paraded in because Huh?????!!!!

[@bdg77]

Every wedding I have seen was awkward. It's only a question of now or later.

[@Randomkitty74]

My eldest cousin got married in 2021, and while it was sweet. It had some… cringy moments. The father of the bride decided to rap for her, and my brother and I cringed the whole time, and it kept going on and on! The venue was small so it was hard for everyone to dance, and my aunt (mother of the groom) got BLACKOUT drunk. She could not walk by the end of it. She then said to my brother “I don’t think your dad loves your mom enough.” And ohhhhh boy did that infuriate him and me. My dad gets overwhelmed with my mom’s family and he doesn’t really click with any of them. Sucks but that’s people. So she’s not invited to either of our weddings, whenever and if we ever get married.

[@BeeWhistler]

Yeah, so my niece apparently wanted to have a classic movie style swing dance number right after her ceremony. I assume she meant for the officiant to declare them espoused and then they’d swing right into a musical number. Well, what happened was the ceremony ended, but instead of there being a “Hit it!” and the dancing breaking out, we all sat in awkward silence while they removed portions of their dresses so that they could do the number. Then I guess they danced… I can’t remember much after watching them struggling to unhook long skirts through layers of tulle. I know it didn’t feel well rehearsed, and that I used my small kids as an excuse to blow off the reception. Her parents were divorced and I was already feeling incredibly uncomfortable after being around them trying to “make nice” for her sake.

[@Blur4strike]

Don't think I've been to awkward weddings in all my 30+ years. I had to help with the setup of a wedding for my mom's best friend (audio equipment, table setup, decor), went quite well.

[@showshortage4684]

Horizontal videos again!! :D

[@marlenesamuels881]

My aunt and uncle had a medieval themed wedding. Aunt wore a gorgeous dress and uncle a suit of chainmail armor.

[@lisacarpenter3787]

I've been to a wedding where they did a dollar dance, but they had a jar to put money in and both the bride and groom danced with people. It was actually kind of cute to see them dance with their nieces and nephews.

[@katherinebass530]

😂😮 Wait! The military one.

[@darkwarriorprogram6546]

NGL Story 41 gave me a good idea for my own wedding....

[@cmsxcb]

Or the wedding where bride and groom exchanged necklaces containing vials of each others blood... on a frozen lake... at midnight... at the Winter Solstice (21st December). Chuff me, it was bloody cold. 🥶

[@CJO-no1]

Thanks for the back to 16:9

[@justlikethewizard]

Ngl despite how weird it was for some of them I hope that they had a good time for the bride and groom ❤

[@warjdani]

10 years ago my friend, the bride, got married in a different state because the groom side claimed they couldn't make it because it was too far away. She moved her whole wedding so his side could be their, the wedding was at a Red lion hotel that was run down. The room smelled like old cigarettes with cigarette burns on the furniture and their was no hot water to shower. The wedding it self was nice it was just the hotel that wasn't, then after all that the groom's side more than half still didn't attend. I felt so bad for her she made everyone take 2-3 cake slices and desserts home because so many people didn't go.

[@ammaulani6386]

My landlady’s married the guy that she got engaged to when he was still legally married. On their wedding, she fell down and broke her leg. The food was only sandwiches. Her father wasn’t there cuz he didn’t approve of the marriage (it’s a big deal in Asia). Bride and groom didn’t greet their guests during lunch. The guests were just left on their own. Very weird couple. A year later he ran away from home
