    Font - Outlander56 · 11h Very small town, way back in the day. The groom, whole party of groomsmen, and most of the male wedding guests were volunteer firemen. About an hour before the ceremony, major house fire. By the time everyone was back, the whole party looked and smelled like they'd been fighting a fire for a few hours.

Rumor was the site fee for the beach view lawn was like $30,000 or something ridiculous, plus food and beverage cost. So as a wedding is ramping up, guests are arriving (many from overseas apparently)we're seeing the bridal pictures being taken and then all of the sudden it stops.

    Font - Runner5Blue • 11h I used to to play in a fancy society band, and we played for a lot of wedding receptions. Sol get to the gig, and as l'm walking around in my tux, looking for the rest of the band, I noticed the guests looking at us like, "What are you guys doing here?" Nobody explained anything to us. And eventually the "bride" shows up...in a regular dress. WTF?? We eventually sat down with the priest who told us what had happened: the bride-to-be had recently won a large sum of money
