Weddings are utter chaos. No matter which way you slice this vanilla cream frosted, $1,000 cake, wedding celebrations always bring out the crazies in everyone. Your cuckoo family members are all gathered together with your meek childhood friends, your wild college hippie friends, and your professional work acquaintances and now you've got to confess your love to your soulmate in front of all of them. 

Oh, and did I mention there's an open bar? 

Things are bound to go awry in a nuptial perfect disaster, but not as bad as this list we've gathered for you below. Just when you thought you knew the worst thing that could happen at a wedding, the list goes on and goes much further than any episode of The Jersey Shore. As it turns out, we're all a little ratchet at heart and when it comes to a wedding celebration, that's apparently the perfect time to let it all loose. Scroll onward to read the worst of the worst that's ever gone down at a wedding.

    True_Panic_3369 · 20 hr. ago It was an overcast day, had rained earlier but weather was clearing up. Bride and groom went to take some photos after the ceremony. A kid, probably 6 or 7, unsupervised, ran up to a puddle the bride was carefully walking past and jumped in it. Her dress had mud splatter all the way up to her shoulder. I felt so bad for her.

    RiderWriter15925. 17 hr. ago I cannot even fathom the level of rage I would have fallen into if I'd been that bride... oh, boy. Nobody at the wedding would ever have seen me THAT mad! Thank God for Photoshop, is all I can say.

    mummavixen 19 hr. ago I used to be a wedding registrar. I conducted one wedding where the bride's father had passed away the year before. The ceremony was held outside in a venue's walled garden, upon entering the garden to take their seats the guests were met by a skeleton which was dressed up in the father of the bride's clothes and asked to shake his hand.…......!!!!

    Hereibe 14 hr. ago Bride used old film strips from movie edits/cast offs for decor in the table centerpieces. Flowers and film strips at a quirky fun wedding, looked great right? She had picked up the box for free and didn't really look at it. Some of the strips were from schlocky sci-fi nonsense. Most of them were pn.

    secretagentsquirrel1 19 hr. ago Went to a wedding where everything went well. Got to the reception and the alcohol was flowing. My husband and I drank and got on the dance floor. The grooms side were very proper while the brides side were quite the opposite. Everyone is dancing when all of a sudden the cousin of the bride grabs the mic and

    says "This song is dedicated to your wedding night." He motions for everyone to clear the dance floor and cues the DJ. Madonna's "Justify my love" starts playing as the cousin starts crawling and rolling on the floor while lip syncing. It was easily the most awkward moment while everyone stood there watching his overly sexual performance. The song finally ends and it's dead silence. I will never forget this moment.

    neal144 19 hr. ago edited 15 hr. ago Outdoor wedding. Bride gently fed wedding cake to her new husband. Groom shoved cake at his new bride's face so hard that it broke one of her teeth. He kept pushing her until she tripped and fell over backwards. She broke her wrist when she tried to stop the fall. There was blood dripping from her mouth. The groom's father then began to beat the living out of his own son. Good times.

    othybear 20 hr. ago The pastor went through and updated the bride's name in her script, but didn't accurately change the script for the groom. Sometimes he was John, others Matt, occasionally Mike. The groom had to say "my name is Steve" when the pastor said "repeat after me - I, David, take you..."

    coldfarm 20 hr. ago The bride's grandfather died while she was walking down the aisle. The ambulance was there in less than 5 minutes but the paramedics called it after resuscitation failed. They removed the body and, after a brief period of consultation and people pulling themselves together, the wedding ceremony went ahead. No exaggeration, the time between granddad hitting the floor and the ceremony restarting was less than 45 minutes. I did not attend the reception, but I heard from others t

    electric29 18 hr. ago At my friends' wedding, her MOTHER stood up in the middle of the CEREMONY and started "(daughter) has always been a great disappointment to me..." people thought it was a joke and started laughing, and she continued, "I am NOT kidding, but now that she has landed (groom), I think she may just be OK". Horrific. Damaging. Nasty.

    big-maestro 21 hr. ago At the afterparty, the groom spent the whole night watching a basketball game on TV at the bar. Couldn't even be bothered to turn around and say hi to any of the guests. Just sat there at the bar, eyes fixed to the TV the whole time.
    via big-maestro

    When it was time for him to make a speech, he just said "You know, this was supposed to be a special day, but [my team] lost, so I hate it! all of you! This !" Needless to say, that marriage lasted all of a week or two.

    Key-Article6622 - 19 hr. ago Out door reception, summer in PA. Under a huge covered, wall-less pavilion, maybe 100' x 200' with a huge fireplace. 250 people. Wind and rain so bad it was soaked entirely under the whole pavilion. A tornado passed within 100 yds. Wild day.

    and slams it into the shin of one of the bridesmaids, drawing blood, and interrupting the proceedings for a good 10 minutes. Not to be outdone, the groom is starting to look unwell. He passes out, falling down a small set of stairs.

    Upon regaining consciousness, he runs out of the small church out the back. 10 minutes goes by, then 20. He returns with his tux shirt pulled out, unbuttoned, and wide open, baring chest hair and a gut. He returns to the bride, and they finish the ceremony with him like that.

    DeFiClark 17 hr. ago Bride was a member of the Catholic church choir who drunkenly accidentally got pregnant with an old friend from college. The priest took the opportunity to preach instead of a homily a eulogy to "fallen moral values" and "the end of the most magnificent innocence". Then the open bar was changed to cash bar after half an hour which was too late to start the small riot that was brewing.
    via DeFiClark
  • 22
    One of the groomsmen "wrote baby on board" underneath the "just married" on the couple's car, which led to him getting a punch from the bride's uncle and then a drunken cousin decided the best way to deal with the message was to kick the rear window in, which restarted the riot. Couple later divorced and split the kids up by gender, he took the boys and she took the girl.

    Blondeinsideandout 19 hr. ago My youngest sister's wedding. One of my sister's friends was wearing quite a short summer dress. She spent the evening sitting in a manner that let it be known that she wasn't wearing any underwear. She waited till someone looked in her direction, pulled up her dress and spread her legs. Very disturbing, especially given the number of children running around.

    I'm sorry, you said worst. This was absolutely the best thing I've seen at a wedding. Spoiler alert: She cheated on him the same way she cheated on her first husband with him.

    Good Friday10. 17 hr. ago Retired minister here. I officiated a wedding for an older couple, second marriage for both. Half way through the service, the groom passes out. We drag him to the first pew, put a cold compress on his head. He starts to regain consciousness. We get him some water. The bride turns to me and says, "he's done that at every wedding he's been to since his divorce." Well, duh. Might you have mentioned that earlier?

I was surpised they lasted longer then a year but they didnt make it a their second anniversary. I remember looking over at my wife an just double checking that I heard it correctly.
