Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!1. “During my uncle’s wedding, the best man accidentally dropped the ring. In the quiet of the church, the sound of it bouncing on the floor filled the air with ‘ting, ting, ting’. One of the groomsmen muttered, ‘Good Lord,’ and the priest – without any reaction – responded, ‘The ring has already been blessed, thank you.'” -ink_monkey96
2. “The officiant’s message included a section about blending purple and green sand to create a ‘darker’ color.” -Deliero
3. “At the reception, some of the groom’s relatives decided to amuse themselves by dressing up in Teletubbies costumes and frolicking to the theme music. Instead of donning matching Teletubbies masks, they opted for inexpensive white plastic masks from a costume store. It was truly a nightmarish sight. The children were in tears, and all I could do was try not to flee!” -Crime
4. “During a wedding I attended, a sanitary pad fell out onto the dance floor, and another person nonchalantly kicked it to the side… where it remained for the entire night.” -stringring_vagblaster

11. “During the reception, the groom performed a striptease while removing the bride’s garter and proceeded to remain shirtless for the rest of the wedding.” -For viewing only1
12. “At my cousin’s wedding, there was a party with an Elvis impersonator in the next room.

14. “During a wedding I attended, instead of the traditional thank-you speeches from the bride and groom, they were presented as if at an awards show. The DJ opened an envelope, announced the names of the newlyweds, and presented them with ‘awards’ in the form of ‘statues’, which were actually Barbie and Ken dolls. The couple then expressed their gratitude, resembling an acceptance speech. It could have been enjoyable in the right hands, but the bride and groom were extremely reserved, making it uncomfortable.” -jmt2589

22. “At a wedding I attended, the family, who were very religious, had the bride’s father stand up at the start of the reception and announce that dancing was sinful and therefore not permitted!” “Despite this, they still conducted the garter toss, but in a separate room with married couples and single men, and the doors closed. I’m still uncertain as to why dancing was sinful, but it was acceptable for a man to remove his bride’s undergarments and fling them into the crowd.” -Pigeon-

29. “As the bride and groom stood at the altar, the minister stated, ‘We are in the presence of family and friends who have gathered here to bestow their blessings upon this union,’ to which the groom’s mother stood up and declared, ‘No, not everyone – I do not give it my blessing.’ It was both horrifying…and hilarious.” -Jadeland
