So I recently read through Hen Do Horror stories and the bad In-Laws horror stories thread.
Anyone got any wedding day horror stories?

I almost married a Tory last year 
Have seen MANY over the years. Wedding coordinator babylon here 
I was in the toilet on my wedding day, my friend was leaning against the sink waiting for me. My brother in law's partner and my new sister in law came into the toilets and were slagging my dress off and how tarty I looked! I had given birth 13 weeks before my wedding and was breast feeding so my boobs we're huge and making a break for it, Their faces were an absolute picture when I walked out the toilet and said funnily enough your brother loves me a tart 
Mine has been postponed due to Covid so hoping that’s my nightmare out the way lol

Oh my god! Hope they were mortified, how awful of them!I was in the toilet on my wedding day, my friend was leaning against the sink waiting for me.

7 years later and relations are still strained lol I'm awkward and every time we meet up with them (twice a year) I make sure I'm wearing a low cut top
In the build up to the wedding the BIL partner was saying I shouldn't have the baby at the wedding, not sure who she expected me to leave my newborn with! I said I wasn't going to bother with a bouquet and would just carry baby down and she said it was tacky
she's just an awful wench of a woman! She had an affair with my BIL whilst working for his family as a nanny!Not too bad of a story but at my sisters wedding, the majority of the grooms friends were off their heads on drugs 
My husband heard them saying they wanted to get on it before the wedding ceremony has even taken place!!
During the meal, one couple were constantly up and down going to the toilet. At one point another guest even said to them “where are you two going again”. Her reply was “Going making baby number 5”
As ifffff you would say that at someone’s wedding!! They had a 4 month old at home too. And they said it so the whole room heard.
One of witness’ was shouting out and saying stupid things through the grooms whole speech even though it was being recorded
I wanted to head butt him

I wanted to head butt him I think the worst was when we caught an uncle shagging his niece behind the venue 
She was a woman in her 30s and was niece by marriage but it was still ICK. Everyone was looking for them

Ah I love this thread. My cousin by marriage got married to a policewoman, who is the sweetest, most timid person I’ve ever met. One of the rowdy Scottish cousins was so drunk and mocking her during the speeches, she got up, pulled out her handcuffs from her dress (it had pockets!) and handcuffed him to the bar in the other room. He stayed there all night.
There's always one who can't keep their mouth shut during a speech!One of witness’ was shouting out and saying stupid things through the grooms whole speech even though it was being recorded
I am getting married next year, with only just over 20 people - they better be on their best behaviour haha!
Agreed. Most brides could do with reminding that no one gives a duck about your wedding, apart from you, your groom, and at a push, your parents.
I used to do bar work many years ago. I was behind the bar at a wedding in a really rough part of town. The wedding reception was in the community hall. The best man and groom got wasted and ended up in a full blown fist fight in the middle of the hall.
I also worked at another wedding, and this time it was in the back garden of the home of a wealthy family who had a pool. At the end of the night the wedding party pushed the bride into the pool. I'm not sure if she put a brave face on as she took it well. If that was me, I would have been mortified!

My friend's wedding reception over 20 years ago was crashed by Chris Eubank. He'd just won(?) a fight and was having a post-fight party in the hotel and invited all the wedding guests... her new husband ditched the reception to go and party with Eubank.
I work in the wedding industry but I'm not directly involved on they day itself, like a photographer or make up artist. I had worked with a lovely couple, a bit older, second marriage scenario and they both had grown up kids. Wedding day was Saturday 30th November 2019 and on that day I remember it was so sunny and crisp and that they would be getting great wedding photos. At 4:30pm the same day, my phone went off and I was surprised to see it was a message from the bride and my thoughts at that time were she was surely just sitting down for their meal with their guests. No - she had messaged to tell me that her fiance had left her the morning of the wedding, and it was too late by the time they'd realised and all the guests were there waiting for the ceremony to start. She was pretty much ready to walk down the aisle, dress on, hair done, etc. Turns out he'd "gone for a drive" and couldn't face going ahead with the wedding. It then turned out that he was STILL MARRIED to his ex, as discovered later on by the registrar! He'd managed to get away by telling her he'd take care of all the paperwork side of things, but he didn't actually do it. She went ahead with the meal for everyone, but cancelled the band. Absolute coward. I was gutted for her, she was lovely.
Another one, my own wedding, although not quite a horror story but in part shows why I left my ex less than 18 months after the wedding despite being together 14 years... everything to the built up of the wedding was totally fine and had such a nice wedding morning with my mum, dad and bridemaids doing all the usual wedding morning things. I didn't hear from my ex at all the morning of the wedding, but I knew he was at his parents and a few of his friends were there and never thought much of it. I sent the typical "can't wait to see you at the end of the aisle" type thing.
Get to the venue in the cars and me, the bridesmaid and my dad are outside waiting to go in with the co-ordinator and I can hear all this yelling and laughter coming from our guests. Turns out the minister guy though he was some sort of hype man and was getting everyone 'riled up'. Did the whole entrance thing and met me ex and the bottom and he just yelled "yassss" (as in "yassss Gaga!") - he was hammered. I asked him through gritted teeth how much he'd had to drink and he said he'd had 2 beers. I knew him well enough to know it wasn't 2 beers. The ceremony was a bit chaotic in parts, - the minister tried to be the centre of attention at every opportunity and one of the groomsmen (also drunk) kept heckling the minister and was threatened to be kicked out. That bit of over... phew! Went off with the photographer and that was a joke. My ex kept asking me to 'pull his finger' in front of everyone and we couldn't get any photos cos he kept bursting into hysterics. Not the good kind that make a nice candid photo - the kind that makes people think 'what the duck is wrong with this guy'.
On to the meal and my dad went first with the usual embarrassing moments in the speech, but then onto my ex - he had no speech prepared and it was a total rambling mess. Not once did he even acknowledge me or my parents and spent 3 minutes going on about how one of his friends had to go to Asda that morning to buy himself a shirt from the kids section. Father-in-law was totally wasted and kept randomly butting in. During the meal, my ex kept leaving the table to go and sit with his pals and come the end of the meal, the best man was so drunk that a member of staff from the venue spoon fed him his dessert and he was bedded by 8pm. Father-in-law disappeared for hours and turned out he was asleep on the floor of the disabled toilet.
Evening reception was fine, dancefloor was full all night, but my ex fell out with me cos I didn't want all his friends back in our suite for an after party. The sex that night was probably one of the worst in my life and he was an absolute c**t to me the next morning trying to 'joke' that he regretted the wedding already.
Over the coming days, I found out that my ex, his parents and 7 of his friends all sit in the house that morning drinking 4 ltrs of vodka and 9 bottles Buckfast, then had the limo stop of the way to the venue to buy more to drink on the way to the venue. So this explained why they were all so drunk. As much as I was disappointed in him, I was more disappointed in his parents that no-one took a moment to think "come on now, this is a wedding, not a night up the town". I'm all for a bit of dutch courage, but they took the piss. Half of this makes me sound stuck up or no fun, but I seriously didn't expect that on the wedding day. I wanted a laid back day, folk to have a good dance, enjoy a drink, but this was next level.
It was his inability to step back and know when enoughs enough and I walked away from him 16 months later. He hasn't changed, still drink obsessed and acting like a teenager. I have no regrets and an amazing boyfriend.

At my cousins wedding one of my other cousins smacked the chief bridesmaid across the face, ripped a necklace off the mother of the groom then pushed her off a bar stool, she had to be carried out by her mortified husband. We later found out she’d been doing cocaine all night.
