My buddy got married on a yacht docked on Lake Michigan. The ceremony was held on the top deck in the middle of July. I didn't have a suit at the time, so I bought one right before the wedding. It was 100% wool. The sun was beating down on me, and I was sweating profusely. They started passing out umbrellas for shade, but they were all being given to women. When I went back inside after the wedding and took off my jacket, my entire undershirt was drenched. There was literally not a dry spot on the shirt, and I had to sit through the reception with my blue shirt changing colors as it was drying in different places at different times. That was fun.

If a wedding I ever went to didn't have booze I'd leave early and invite all the bridesmaids back to my place to get crunk.

Probably about half the weddings I've been to didn't have alcohol. Most of the time it was because the bride's family didn't really want to spend the money on it.
 
went to a cousins wedding this summer. there were 15 groomsmen and 15 bridesmaids and a solid 10 ushers.
there were more people in tuxes and dresses than there were guests.
at the reception, they DJ played the Chicago Bulls starting lineup music and announced EVERY.FUCKING.SINGLE.PERSON one by one as they jogged in from the door and all the way to the head table.
Their entrance took like 20 minutes - it was pure retardedness.

The wedding table got to eat first (which is fine), but it took them so long to get their food that by the time the guests got their food it was time for all the speeches and toasts.
Somehow EVERYONE in the wedding party (all 30) prepared some sappy speech to deliver.
I left when the best man stood up to make his SECOND speech.
I shit you not.
 
My (in a church) wedding involved my parents, siblings and last surviving grandparent, his parents and siblings. His side looked like they were at a funeral. The place echoed, it was so empty. His side only agreed to come the day before and grudgingly offered me a Safeway bouquet of flowers as a wedding gift. The (snapshot) wedding photos are truly priceless - his brother and sister look like they could not possibly grind their teeth any harder.

Worst day of my life, but I walked away with my jewel of a husband. Someday I'd like to do a anniversary renewal of vows and maybe do it right... Only people seem to think that the height of bad manners so I'm a little afraid to.

Whatever it is, it means getting really crazy and fucked up. And with Conan's introduction of the word to northern suburban audiences, Crunk came into its own as the recognized sound of the new generation of Dirty South Rap, prompting white college fratboys everywhere to wander around going "WHHHUT!! OKAAY!! YEEEAAHHH!!" like annoying dipshits. and it's all thanks to Lil Jon, and by Lil Jon I mean Dave Chappelle.

We had no booze at our wedding.

So that means all of your geusts are now talking about your wedding on other forums. ... 🙂


anyhoo, I haven't been to a bad wedding yet, not that I can remember. maybe only when I was a kid, but that's b/c they were boring then. Of course, anything that didn't involve shitty after-school Japanese "adver-toons" and their matching toy lines was boring at that age.
 
Baptist wedding, no booze, no music. The bridesmaids and ushers did "skits" for entertainment at the reception.
 
I've only been to one wedding, and it was perfect. Bride was a wedding photographer, so she knew people in the business. She also talked with all the married couples so she knew about pitfalls and common traps and stuff. Also because of her business she had been subscribing to every bride magazine for about 12 years.

She knew what she was doing.

You have a camera and a sister and yet we don't have any pics. Fail.

So what's wrong with your husband's family? Are they just all around angry people, or do they have a specific reason to not like you?

They emigrated in '91 and essentially live in a closed ethnic community here in Washington state. FIL is a leader there and the family is/was pretty patriarchal. The youngest son was NOT supposed to marry outside the community or culture, especially to an American girl who doesn't speak Russian.
 
Not at the wedding as such, but the night before my brother's wedding my sister and I were helping put lights up etc. as the ceremony took place in a friend's back yard. Just inside the treeline was a small well or something like it, not quite two feet deep, but at night it was so dark you couldn't tell it was there. She didn't know it was there and fell in, and got bruised and shaken up quite a bit.

Maybe an hour later when we were done, we were all eating Chinese food and had gotten to the fortune cookies. People where sharing their fortunes when someone asked my sister what hers said. I piped up, "You will fall down a well!"

Boy, the look she gave me could have turned a lesser man to stone.
 
35 degrees C with 95% humidity in the middle of the day, and it was held in a non-ACed church. I could only take about 45 minutes before it got too hot, ceremony lasted for an hour and a half 🙁 The reception was ok, but everyone was dead from the heat.
 
I haven't been to very many, so the worst would have been my cousin's. The ceremony was fine and all, but after that we were all suppose to go to the reception for dinner and etc. That would have been fine as you could just walk to another part of the building for that. The problem being the doors to the room remained closed whilst they were off doing pictures and what not. Meant we all had to stand around for over an hour waiting on them.
 
I attended a wedding where the couple actually got into a disagreement at the wedding reception. Most of the guests were drinking so they just laughed it off, but when the festivities were over the newlyweds got into a stretched out Hummer limo and sat in separate rows. It was really strange.

I learned that she had filed for divorce about a year and half later, shortly after he was convicted of some felony and sent to the lockup.
