u/[deleted]: I recently had my wedding, and we woke up together, happy to be getting married. Then, my soon-to-be husband received a text from his mother. Disclaimer: his mother had waist-length black hair.
It’s a photo of her. She cut and colored her hair exactly like mine—shoulder length, brown with blonde streaks. I was livid!
Of all days to color your hair! And to do it on my wedding day. Fine, I let it go and decided to just forget it. Finally, it’s the moment we all have been waiting for. I’m walking to the aisle, and we reach the front.
The parents were called up so we all could recite a vow together. (Our wedding was held in front of a river bank, mind you.) His mother then walked around me near the pastor instead of being with the other parents near the groom.
Then, she proceeded to scream and fall. She grabbed my hair as she fell, and I fell with her inches away from the riverbank. My moment… Ruined.
She got up, laughed, and walked away while I was on the ground, trying not to cry. To be honest, I don’t remember anything else from the ceremony. I was seeing red.
We no longer speak to one another. And I will forever refuse to talk to that woman. My husband stands by me on that decision. To this day, when I think about my wedding, I tear up.
She ruined it and didn’t even feel sorry for it. And those of you who say she fell and couldn’t help it—after watching our wedding video, I learned that her husband and the pastor were holding her arms. She deliberately stepped back and fell.
7. My Wedding

u/Tinkletyme: My family flew in from Michigan. The wedding was in Phoenix. This was the first time my family met my wife’s side of the family.
Well, long story short, right before the speeches, my niece, 2, and her cousin’s child, 2, were playing tag and running around like kids do. So, her cousin’s child fell while running, completely normal, and my niece went to help her up because she’s a sweetheart.
At this time, the cousin’s father started yelling at my niece until she started crying. My sister runs over to see what’s happening, and he tells her to “Watch her kid!”
This was just after my sister complimented her family for being so lovely and welcoming. It didn’t ruin our wedding because we heard about it afterward. Apparently, his wife was running around bragging to our guests.
8. My Father’s Fiancée

u/harsh4correction2: My father’s wedding was a minimal ceremony on the beach. I was 18 then. My great-aunt allowed us to use her awesome 2br beach house for the week and invited us to stay at her immaculate personal home beforehand.
At the house, my father’s fiancée decided she would order a pizza instead of eating a completely made-from-scratch meal. We talked the glance into having the home-cooked dinner, which was delicious. My great-aunt felt very disrespected but held her tongue.
Seven people were at the ceremony a few days later, including me, the wedding official, my father and fiancée, my soon-to-be stepsister, my great aunt, and my grandfather. Indeed, it was a small ceremony by any standards.
Dad’s fiancée threw a tantrum because she said there were “too many people” and “she doesn’t even know this lady,” who was my great aunt.
It didn’t ruin the ceremony, but a handless man could count with his fingers the number of times I’ve heard from my great aunt since the wedding.
That may not seem striking, but we frequently wrote letters to each other in my much younger days. I’ve also been severely alienated from my father because of this woman’s continued psychotic territorial behavior.
9. One Woman Had Issues

u/Smouldering_goose: Not my wedding (it was my SILs). It was a very formal wedding at a beautiful venue.
One of the groomsmen’s girlfriends had a meltdown because her boyfriend was getting his photograph taken with another girl—a bridesmaid (along with the other two bridesmaids, two groomsmen, the best man, the maid of honor, and the bride and groom).
I pulled her aside and told her to stop or leave, so she sulked in a corner for the next few hours. After dinner and speeches, it was the first dance. Then, the bridesmaids and groomsmen dance with the newlywed couple (then the bride and groom’s parents, etc.).
This girl stormed up to the dance floor and started screaming inappropriate things about the bridesmaid dancing with “her man.” The bridesmaid is happily married with two children and has met the groomsman twice.
Everyone was horrified, so I pulled her out the nearest door, down the driveway, and told her not to return. The bride was fuming, and the groomsman was very ashamed.
10. So Many Things

u/bunnyplop: I had a couple of weird things happen. I wouldn’t say anyone ruined the wedding (we ended up married after all!), but one girl ruined a lot of pictures!
A guy was working in the kitchen at the venue that she and I worked with for a couple of weeks, and she invited him to watch the ceremony in his yellow hoodie and backpack. They were standing right on the aisle, so they’re in many pictures. Oh, and she wore a white dress. She also caught the bouquet.
I had a bridesmaid get in a fight with her boyfriend and sit in a corner crying all night. And the DJ made a terrible mistake. After the ceremony, he missed his cue to play us back down the aisle, so I awkwardly turned to him, did finger guns, and said, “Hit it!”
And then later, my mom asked him for the mic to give a speech, but he said, “No, it’s too late.” Then, I cried, so my friends went and talked to him, and she made her speech.
11. Crazy mother-in-law

u/[deleted]: My mother-in-law ruined my wedding. I’m allergic to seafood and she knew it. She secretly added tiny pieces of fish to my salad. I saw her laughing as I was rushed from the altar in an ambulance. I decided to get back at her in a way she’d never forget.
Three days later, my furious husband burst into my room yelling, ‘THIS IS TOO MUCH, HOW COULD YOU file a lawsuit against my mother?” I responded firmly. “She knowingly endangered my health. That’s not just cruel; it’s illegal.” My husband’s anger gave way to shock.
