Cringiest Weddings You've Ever Attended

What’s the cringiest thing you’ve seen a bride and groom do for their wedding?

If I were that groom sitting alone watching his wife flirt with another guy and sitting on his lap, I would have turned that reception into an annulment party real quick.

Ok am I the only one who thought it was cruel to put the ex wife there, and put her in a bridesmaid’s dress? It’s like they only had her there to mock her.

"I made him waffles once." I'll never forget that man and I wasn't even there!

Funny not cringey, but I'm sharing it anyway. My mom was laughed at by her doctor when she asked for birth control at 17 because she had really bad issues with her uterus that causes infertility. At 23 she met my dad and she told my dad she was infertile. Then she got pregant with my older sister while they were dating. My dad proposed. My dad broke his leg a little before the wedding. My mom never wanted a big wedding so they just went in plains clothes to the courthouses for their marriage license.

Well the day they went to the court house to get their marriage license, in walked my very pregant mother and my father with a cane and leg brace. My mom loves to tell the story and likes to say it looked like he got her pregnant and she broke his leg so he couldn't escape.

definetly not cringy but this reminded me of when we went to a family friend’s wedding and when the bride threw the bouquet out of nowhere this speedy little 7ish year old child runs in and takes it before any of the ladies could grab it. he then turned around and gave it to one of the girls, it was a nice dave little dude

I agree most of these are cringey as heck, but that one where the guests watched a livestream of the bride and groom looking for each other actually sounds kind of cute.

I finally have one too!
So two friends of mine married and at the reception her brides maids said they made a little video for the two of them. A few days before the wedding, the maid of honor was asking us all to give her some pictures of the groom and bride (for the video). We did.
We never saw the finished film before though.
The "film" was an automatic google drive slide show with NO MUSIC. My boyfriend kind of jumped to the rescue and played some music in the background to make it less awkward. But the pictures were ALL about the bride and her life before she even met the groom. It was photos from clubbing, weird selfies from facebook and even photos with some strange dudes noone knew. There were even pictures of the wedding from one of her bride maids! So basically we stood (yes, they wanted us to stand for this) there for entire 23 minutes and watched the 5 girls all go "aww you're so pretty there" to each other, while the groom and the rest of the party was like: what the hell is that?
Even worse was, that the bride afterwards yelled at the groom for not thanking the girls for the kind gift. Even though it was only pictures of them partying...

Back when I worked at a wedding venue, we had a booking for a reception only (ceremony was at church). Very religious families. Bride and groom were about 17. Bride was incredibly quiet and cried several times. Groom spent the whole night flirting with his best man.

I'm 100% positive that their families thought that this was going to be the best thing for both of them, but I just felt awful for those kids. They were in for a miserable life together.

I've been to a couple of doozies but this one is my favourite.

I went to a wedding about 25 years ago with my then bf. The wedding was for one of his school friends who he hadn't seen since finishing high school nearly 10 years earlier. They had run into each other a couple of weeks before the wedding and the groom begged him to come.

The ceremony was in a literal swamp, in a local wetlands preserve. We were eaten alive by mosquitos during the hour wait for the bride to arrive.
She turned up in a jeans and a t-shirt, looking like she just rolled out of her trailer after a big night out. Groom was wearing an ill fitting, thrift store suit, but at least he had attempted to look the part. The groom asked what had happened to her dress, and she snapped at him to shut up about it. She broke the zipper trying to squeeze herself into it after all that stress eating she had partaken while planning such a spectacular, high class wedding. Then ripped it apart in a fit of rage.

The reception was held at a $5 all you can eat restaurant, where the guests had to pay for their own meals. As we sat pushing the disgusting food around our plates to avoid actually eating it, the bride came around with a clipboard and the list of gifts she wanted, and asked everyone to pick out what we were going to buy her. Mind you, she was not asking each couple to gift her something, she expected each individual to buy her a present from her list.

The cheapest thing on the list was a $500 blender. Every item listed had all the details of which exact product it was and a price. The list contained hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of items.

Feeling rather ticked off by this point, I told her I'd buy her the $10, 000 TV, knowing there's no way in hell that was ever going to happen.

Skip forward about a year. I'm no longer with that bf and I run into this loony bride at the supermarket. She recognized me and charges right up and demands to know when I'll be dropping off her TV.

When I get home, I call my ex and tell him all about it. We both had a good laugh and he tells me he had bumped into the groom about a month ago and they were not even together anymore. He had walked in on her, in bed with her stepfather 2 days after the wedding!

Did it the right way. 9 people witnessed our wedding. Married in the chapel not in the main sanctuary of the church. Marriage lasted 37 years and only ended when she passed. Yes we did it right.

My Sicilian Catholic cousin was getting married to a Jewish woman. The caterer contacted his father to confirm the menu. They didn't realize they are talking to the father not the groom. Dad orders tripe be added to the menu. At the reception dinner the bride's people got really upset about being served "unclean" food. Dad overheard the complaints. He mentioned that they had forgotten to have it on the menu. He took care of it when they called. His son tells him tripe isn't considered "clean" or kosher. That's why it wasn't ordered. Dad says I like it so I ordered it. Big pile of stink at the the reception!…

0:50 That's bull though, if the bride and groom want to do the bouquet toss, just participate fully - don't step back and refuse to touch the flowers/garter as if they're poisonous. It's a superstition, and if you don't want to get married then you won't. Beauty of the 21st century

Went to a wedding where the couples first dance was to Michael Jackson The Way You Make Me Feel and it was choreographed and that was kinda cute until the groom tears away the full skirt part of the wedding dress to reveal a short poofy skirt the bride is wearing underneath, he whips the discarded piece of dress away in time with the music and sends the wedding cake toppling over the back of the table- we were all laughing so hard we had to leave the reception room because they were so into it they hadn’t noticed a damn thing had gone wrong.

Make long story short, just go with this ... our cat (yes, cat) walked me up the aisle and was the ring bearer (they were clipped to his leash and collar) I reached down to unclip them, he sauntered off and grabbed an open seat in the front row and laid down until it was time to go. Even the court clerk wanted a pic with him. My brother has nine photos of his sister's wedding ... none of them have his sister getting married in them, except for the hem of my dress in some of the background shots. Even the Florists stayed. Cat is a 23lb Maine Coon looks like Darth Vader, acts like a dog and stole the entire show. (No one cringed, just very few pics of wedding couple --- entire wedding album of Cat.)

The dude that swiped the speech at around 17:25 is an absolute legend

I wonder if that truck stop wedding was at the world’s biggest truck stop in Iowa. That place is huge and I can see someone booking a wedding there 🤣

"My friend got pregnant at 20 by a piece of crap guy so they got married -
It was me"

[harmmiddeljans]

For those that don't speak Dutch: "stukje" means little piece (literally). So they wanted to do a bit/piece/something for the wedding.

[lilblondiebear]

Where to begin.

I was a bridesmaid in my sister's wedding, and the maid of honor-her best high school friend-got plastered off fireball and gave the cringiest maid of honor speech ever. She went on about how she and my sister are "a packaged deal; if he gets [my sister], he gets [drunk maid of honor] too" as well as some other really inappropriate comments. It was so awkward that everyone in the room was trying to hide their "wtf" expressions, and my sister wound up never speaking to her again.

At my own wedding, my grandpa thought it would be funny to cut in during the father/daughter dance and then stuck a dollar bill in my hand.

My cousin married a living trashbag who wore a strapless dress while her back was covered in really gross-looking old bandages. The reception was at a dive bar where trash bag stood up on a stage and proceeded to grind on what could only be stripper poles, in front of everyone including my mortified grandmother. They are no longer together.

The only remotely "cringy" thing that happened at the two weddings I went to recently were:
- At my stepbrother's wedding, my dad got up and said a little something about my stepmom, the groom's mom, that died about half a year before.
- At my sister's wedding (same-sex wedding), my now sister-in-law's stepdad I think, put his hand against an electric fence for support for a photo.
Not very cringy though...
