18 Weddings That Were Absolute Disasters

13.

My step-aunt’s. I was 19 at the time. The bride’s family hated the groom, and the groom’s family hated the bride. The groom’s best man pulled out two days before the wedding because he ‘didn’t know, man.’ While we were waiting for the bride to show up for the ceremony, one of the groom’s sisters alternated between wailing at her brother not to go ahead, to throwing herself over him and wishing him all the happiness she never got. When the bride did show up, the guests stood up as is customary. All except the groom’s mother and two sisters, who remained firmly seated with grouchy looks on their faces.”

“When we got the reception, the groom’s other sister was the MC. As we were waiting for the couple to arrive, she ‘lovingly’ referred to the couple as Shrek and The Narwhal, and then pulled out a full on craps style betting mat and began ‘jokingly’ taking bets from all the guests on how long it would take the couple to get divorced. 

Did I mention how much the groom’s family hated the bride? So much so that most of them weren’t there, so the groom’s sister pissed off a room filled with 90% bride’s family and friends. 

The bride’s father was a grumpy old git who refused to dance, so the poor bride missed her father-daughter dance while the groom got his mother-son dance. The groom was also a miserable old git who refused to dance, so the bride also didn’t get a first dance. I really should have taken the MC up on her bet, because they separated after 2 years, got back together, had a baby, then divorced 2 years after that.”
