Brace yourself for a rollercoaster of wedding woes and find out what really goes on behind the scenes in the world of "I do."
1. It’s Not That Deep


I work at David's Bridal. Most of the time...it's not the bride. It's the mother of the bride or maid of honor.
I work in alterations. Most of the time, it takes more than one appointment to get things perfect. The bride comes in for her 2nd appointment for us to make any adjustments. She needed a couple of things adjusted.
Her mother told me I ruined her daughter's marriage. Not wedding...but marriage.
All I could think was if needing to adjust something on your dress and having to come back for one more appointment made you think someone ruined your perfect life with someone… well… good luck to her groom.

2. The Center Of Attention
I worked at a high-end bridal shop in my early 20s. One day, I had a bride-to-be shopping for a gown, and she had brought her Mom, Aunt, and sister (who had just become a new mom) with her to her appointment.
The sister was obviously a little jealous that attention was no longer being lavished on her and her new baby, and instead, the bride was now the center of attention.


As I was fitting the bride in a $2500 Lazaro Bridal Gown, the sister decided to change her newborn’s diaper in the dressing room & proceeded to hold the crap-filled diaper up to the gold-hued gown and exclaim “Look, the colors almost match!”
I excused myself from the room for fresh air and to regain composure. In my experience- the brides were rarely the problem- the family was!

3. Not A Happy Future
I used to be a "Bridal Consultant" at a retail store which basically means I helped couples scan things onto their registry, although the training for it just meant I knew how to use the scanner and the computer and my actual job had nothing to do with bridal shopping.
This one couple came in to start a new registry, which quickly turned into only things the bride wanted. Anything the groom wanted to put down on the registry was deemed as "childish, stupid, ugly, unpractical, never-going-to-be-used".


I was cringing during the entire appointment, she kept asking for my input/opinion on everything and I felt so bad for this guy.
His bride-to-be seemed so selfish and entitled, he couldn't believe the fact that he was soon to be married to this woman. The poor man just wanted a waffle maker, who doesn't want waffles?!

4. Not A Big Deal
Wedding band member here. I had a bride flip her crap at me and my bandmates because our instruments weren't white or salmon colored to fit in with the decorations and she was saying we would ruin the photographs.


Even though I was playing during the reception and all the photos were already taken.
A sunburst jazz bass, a blue Stratocaster, and a red drum set aren't going to ruin your pictures, darling.

5. Losing Weight Might Not Be Great Here
Retired Master Seamstress checking in. Not Bridezilla but Momzilla. I was making her daughter a custom bias-cut gown and had limited fitting time because the bride lived one state over. Now bias-cut gowns are the devil to begin with.
We (Mom and I) would work on details between fittings. I would say our working relationship got very frosty. Each time the bride came for a fitting, she lost weight.


Tape measures don't lie. And she was not a big girl, to begin with. Mom would scream that her daughter did not lose any weight.
After the third fitting, third fight, and the third rebuild of a very complicated gown, I finished it and told them to take the gown and do what they wanted with it. It was gorgeous but hung loose.
The girl lost over 3" over 7-8 weeks. I lost hours of my life and the $$ for the work. The deposit took care of the materials ($140 per yard silk, Venice lace), so there is that.

6. Ruining The Moment
I was at the wedding of an ex-boyfriend several years ago and he had planned & practiced signing a Frank Sinatra song to his new wife. He went up & took the mic and, with the band backing him up, began singing the song (I can't remember what it was).


His new wife suddenly stomped across the dance floor & up on the stage, grabbed the mic from him & said - "I HATE that damn song & I don't want to hear it." They were divorced about a year later.

7. Spending For Nothing
I worked for a wedding photographer here. The wonderful couple seemed made in heaven. Their wedding album WITHOUT pics cost 2k. That thing was made from mirrored glass and weighed a ton. It was my job to order the 60 - 8x10s the bride wanted to be used.
This album had no protective sleeves, so every single pic had to be sprayed with a chemical coating and left to dry, in dust dust-free area. If it did not dry with a smooth, dust-free finish, I had to remove the chemical coating and try again.


I spent most of that week, in a tiny closet-sized room, in full respirator mask and protective gloves & Eyewear, spraying those damn pics. But my God, I have to say, it was the best job ever!
When done, this couple spent over $5,000 on that one album… It was GORGEOUS!....and they divorced before the year was up. DUH!

8. That’s Not What He Did
Not even 30 minutes ago, I had someone accuse our deaf tailor of recording the bride on his phone as she tried on dresses and walked around in them...


He was Facetimeing his wife as he walked through the store. He was signing too. She was very embarrassed but not enough to apologize to any of us for screaming through the store.
AllTheExsInTexas
9. She Needed To Calm Down
Not a wedding shop worker but at the wedding when it happened. As she was walking up the aisle in her dress, the bride tripped over her gown.
And instead of just getting up and moving on, she let loose an absolutely huge tirade of cursing and screaming at everyone. When her dad tried to console her, she just got up slugged her dad in the face, and started just throwing crap everywhere screaming about this mother effing wreck of a day.


I'll kill that notch for making the gown too long. What are you looking at Earl? Your notch of a wife is a w**re. She just lost in and proceeded to rip up her own dress and run out of the church half naked into the rain. I mean, I know the stress is high, but god damn she lost her freaking mind.

10. You’re Not Allowed Here, Ma’am
Opposite of the topic, but I was working at a major hotel on the Las Vegas strip when a wedding party came to one of the main bars after a very nice wedding.
This was after the reception so they’d changed into non-wedding clothes, and the bride proceeded to get drunk and get flirty with her new husband.


Security was called and she was asked to leave because streetwalkers are not allowed to solicit on the property. The aftermath was no bueno. But, she did get all of her expenses comped...

11. Going Crazy
I have worked in bridal for 6 years. I really get along with most of the women that come in. But there have been some crazies. One, off the top of my head, was mad that she couldn't get a refund.
So she called up to the salon and threatened to come in and cut all the dresses up with scissors and blow the place up. Also, drunk groups of bridesmaids cause a lot of trouble.


I had to call the cops on one of the girls before because she was freaking the hell out. My (former) boss thinks she was on something else and not just drunk.

12. They’re Making Their Own Problems
When I worked at a fabric store, and if I heard someone mention a wedding, I would intentionally go to another department to work.
Without fail, every bride to walk in needed 25 yards of a discontinued fabric and she didn't have the SKU just a little sample piece of it which would take hours to work out.


And if you couldn't magically summon it, then she'd flip out because her wedding was in three days and now there were no table runners. After a while, you just stop even feeling sorry for them.

13. Disrespecting People
I worked at a hotel where we were hosting a wedding party. The bride called the front desk guy a n***** to his face. He asked her to apologize. She doubled down, and told him "I don't apologize to no n*****".
So he went and got a manager to talk to them. Well, this bride apparently hates a lot of people, because she tripled down at this point, saying "Why are they sending some sp** to talk to me?"


We canceled their room block and the atrium they had reserved for their ceremony and reception with no refund which they tried complaining and yelling at us about but we didn't flip.
From the gossip, I heard they ended up having the ceremony at a courthouse and the "reception" ended up being at a tilted kilt (Scottish version of Hooters) because it was the only place with space available.

14. Such A Disaster
I used to be a photographer's assistant back in high school. I remember this one bride before the wedding kept yelling at my boss about me helping with photos as she didn’t want some “stupid kid” to ruin her wedding photos.
She also kept calling her soon-to-be hubby, berating him. I ended up getting sent to do the groom's photos while my boss handled the Bridezilla. As soon as I walked into the room where the groom and his friends were getting ready, I almost puked because it smelled like a distillery.


The guy was on the phone with the bridezilla on speaker while smoking weed and shaking his head. I could barely walk through the room with all the alcohol bottles on the floor and suitcases everywhere.

15. Making Decisions While Angry
While the photographer was waiting for the extended family to gather for formals, he photographed couples and families already present.
The bride bristled that he wasn't taking photos of her and that these were not the photos the bride had requested. (The photographer had already finished photos of the bride and groom in several locations.)
Because she was upset, she didn't ask the photographer to take photos of her and her special friends during the following reception.


So, when she finally saw the photos a few weeks later she regretted that she had taken out her (unwarranted) anger: She was missing dozens of photos she would have wanted.
Another bride was very upset that in some engagement photos, the framing/cropping wasn't right, even though the very same pose was captured with the correct framing IN THE PREVIOUS and NEXT photos.
Because of his previous "mistakes," she hated the wedding photographer the entire wedding day and hated his photos too, even though they were very high quality - matching his portfolio.

16. Selfish Bride
Photographer here. The couple opted for an outdoor wedding with no weather backup option and, low and behold, it started pouring literally 5 minutes before the ceremony. The guests and groom ran for cover under the reception tent.
After it didn't let up, the groom made a mad dash to the door of the RV the bride was getting ready in because she nor any of the bridesmaids were answering their phones.
She made the poor guy stand outside in the pouring rain while she screamed and cussed that she was NOT getting married under the tent and everyone would just have to wait until it stopped raining.


This was the middle of July, so even the rain was hot and sticky, and there were a lot of elderly family members with health issues in attendance sitting in 80-degree heat for over an hour. The cake had also started melting.
I honestly wasn't sure if the wedding was going to happen at one point, but it eventually stopped raining and the bride married her soaked groom and ate wedding cake soup.

17. Unnecessary Arguing
Not a worker, but stood up at a friend's wedding. Less than 48 hours before the wedding. The bride-to-be decided that the shoes that came with our tuxes weren't to her liking. She wanted me and the groom to go to various stores (one of them Nordstrom's) and get some 'better' shoes.
My friend, the groom-to-be, was totally stressed out with all the various loose ends he had to tie up before the wedding.


Fortunately, I was able to talk some sense into him. I told him 1) there just wasn't enough time to go shoe shopping and 2) there are only 4 basic types of dress shoes for guys: shiny or not shiny, with laces or without. 3) No one cares what kind of shoes the groom and groomsmen wear.
He came to his senses and was able to persuade his now-wife that new shoes were unnecessary.

18. What A Meanie
Not a wedding shop, but we sell kitchenware. China, cookware, etc. like a Williams Sonoma store.
The bride, mother of the bride, and mother of the groom were all shopping and filling out the wedding registry list. The groom's mom was pointing to an item and said something to the bride.


The mother of the bride turned to the other mother and said “Your job is to shut up and wear blue”. We placed bets on if that marriage would last.

19. I’d Better Lie Than Deal With This
I own a print shop, and the majority of the time, I flat-out turn down wedding invitation work. Not worth the potential nightmare.


Sometimes I can tell the bride is cool and we make an exception, but a lot of times you can tell that the bride has had an invitation planned in their brain for 20 years and there is just no possible way to make them exactly how she wants them.
So yeah, I basically just say “Sorry we don't do wedding invites.”

20. A… Secret Wedding?
I went to a cousin's wedding when I was really little. She had spent a fortune on decorations and dresses and had this extravagant wedding dress tailored for her.
And we all arrived and waited for the wedding to start. An hour passed, then another, and all the adults started grumbling. Finally, a group of guys drove over to find out what was keeping up the groom (this was before mobile phones were ubiquitous).


Aaaand, it turned out that the bride hadn't informed him of their wedding. Or their engagement. Or that they were dating.

21. The Bride Isn’t The Problem Here
Wedding coordinator here. It was never the bride, it was always the bride or groom's mother.


Arriving late and demanding the whole ceremony be started over, causing scenes, demanding we change huge details at the last moment, demanding to be part of the bridal party or have some other role in the wedding.
It would always leave the bride or groom humiliated and even more stressed about their day.

22. Things Can’t Be Always Perfect
Been DJ-ing weddings for about 10 years. Most brides relax by the time I really get to work. And most of the time the groom is in charge of the music. So I don’t have too many stories.
However, one bride was really really into her wedding really being symmetrical. She measured the entire room and wanted everything placed in the exact places she requested.


I had to measure the distance my table was from the wall and the other tables, I had to measure the distance my speakers were from each other and the dance floor.
On the day, she was upset at me because I failed to inform her that I had lighting for the dance floor and wished she had time to determine where to place it.

23. No Reason To Be A Bridezilla
My husband and I eloped, got married in Vegas, and had zero guests, and zero cake. The whole wedding including my dress (got at Macy’s) cost just over $400. I got a professional photographer so we would have stunning pictures- that cost $700.
I had hair and makeup done at the salon in the hotel for $300, add in airfare and hotel and the whole trip still cost under $5000 for the 3 days we were in Vegas. It was the most intimate, romantic, perfect wedding I could ever imagine.


We’ve been married 10 years and still talk about how much fun we had. Sometimes I think people forget the reason you get married in the first place.
I don’t think eloping is right for everyone, or even an option for everyone, but I can say my Dad was happy as a clam at all the money I saved him!

24. Anger Issues
Not a wedding shop worker, but a freelance wedding photographer. Just last week I shot a wedding where the bride was marrying a military officer (lieutenant). She was raging at everyone. The banquet manager, the groom himself.
When I accompanied the groom as he was getting ready to take shots of him putting on his uniform etc, he was unable to receive any calls as the villa had poor reception.


We got back and she immediately went "WHY COULDN'T I CALL YOU? NO RECEPTION THEN AT LEAST GIVE ME YOUR GROOM’S MAN NUMBER SO I HAVE A POINT OF CONTACT."
And this was in front of EVERYONE mind you. When the solemnizer arrived, she got angry as well as she (the bride) was still not ready for the event which was supposed to start 15 minutes ago.
She was very beautiful, one of the prettiest brides I ever shot for but goddamn, her poor husband.

25. It’s Over
I worked at a reception venue. One event really sticks out. Everything went well until the cake. The bride & groom go to feed each other, she does it very nicely, and he smashes it into her face.
Bride screams, starts bawling her eyes out & runs out of the hall. 15 or so minutes later the father of the bride comes and asks the DJ for the mic.


He proceeds to thank everyone for coming and says that if they would like to take their gifts on the way out, the couple has decided to break up.
I'm sure there were issues leading up to the event, but the bride had told everyone (including the groom) that if he smashed the cake in her face, it was over. She wasn't lying.

26. Assuming Stuff
I worked in alterations at a chain bridal store for a couple of years. The amount of crap I saw go down was ridiculous, but one of my favorite stories was about the bride who refused to let me fit her in her gown because I have short hair and "didn't want to be touched by a disgusting lesbian".
First I laughed her off because I thought she was just making a poor joke in poor taste, but then when I tried to help her into the gown, she started freaking out and made a huge fuss.


The mom got involved and threatened to have me fired for trying to mess with her daughter. When I assured her that I am, in fact, straight, she insisted I have my manager come out and vouch for my sexuality.
Finally, I put her in the dress and she bursts into tears and starts screaming at me about how I made her dress too tight and how she looked fat and terrible in it.
I just looked at her and said "Ma'am, I haven't altered your dress yet, this is a first fitting to see what sort of alterations need to be done." Justice.

27. Too Many Obligations
I had a lesbian couple enquire about shooting their wedding day. My husband and I own a photography business. Her first email to me was asking if I was a company from the USA to which I replied I was not (we're in Canada and my website and Google information clearly states that).
Her second email was asking why I stole another company's name (oh hell nah)! I write back saying that many companies have similar names but we have owned our company name and website for at least 7 years, and in no way were we stealing another company name.
Also, the other company has a whole extra word in there. The third email asked if we could take pictures on their wedding day in the style of this other company, and I replied that we would not.


She then sends an email saying that because they are lesbians, they do not like men and only want me there to take pictures - they do not want my husband at the event.
By that point, I had enough of this woman's tom-foolery and sent her an email back stating that I did not wish to have them as clients. I had to make sure to phrase it in a way that she couldn't use it as defamatory, as she seemed like the type to do so.
I politely told her that there are many female photographers out there if that is what they wanted, but my husband and I are a team and would not be able to accommodate their request. I then blocked her email address. Dodge a bullet there.

28. How Am I Supposed To Know That?
Former DJ - not that crazy, so I'll keep it short. I had the opposite of a Bridezilla - a woman for whom it was her second wedding that had zero f**ks left to give about organizing or demanding anything.
I played what I thought would be an appropriate song for a first dance with her new husband (because she didn't even care to tell me that), and she stopped dancing immediately, walked over to my DJ booth, and told me to change it because it was her/her ex-husband's song.


WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW, LADY. I looked like the d-bag, though I would place the blame on her for not warning me about it or blacklisting the song. Awkward.
For those asking: Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton. I know it's cheesy and horrible and trite - since it was an older (read: middle-aged) couple, I thought it would work.

29. This Is Too Much
My brother's girlfriend works with a well-known local wedding planner and has been working at many weddings with this planner. She finally worked on her own one day, with this massive bridezilla (she found out that day).
The couple had hired her a couple of weeks before the wedding, and clearly had no clue what the job was supposed to be.


When she showed up early in the am on the wedding day (for an outdoor wedding down a hill from the house that was locked for hours), she was met with essentially an entire antique market.
The bride wanted a rustic Pinterest look, but had gone overboard, and bought way too many tacky items. The entire day was horrendous, with this planner working without eating until about 11 pm. The bride had wanted a wedding planner AND decorator.
After the wedding, she complained to get her money back. This scumbag wanted wedding photos of shooting the bouquets with guns. Class act.

30. Crazy Lady
Tuxedo salesman here. The bride and groom came into the store to get tuxedos. She said, "I need a penguin suit for my fiance." Now I give this too much thought, as that's not a particularly uncommon phrase. But then she pulled out a picture of a penguin and I had to match that.
She made him get a tails jacket and black vest, spent over an hour figuring out what shoes looked like the most like flippers, and then made me special order a shade of orange bow tie that most closely matched the penguin's little scruff thing.


The 7 shades of orange we had were not acceptable. She mentioned to me in our conversation that she made her boyfriend make a 300 dollar donation to the local zoo so that he could propose to her in the penguin tank. The lady was crazy.

31. Refusing Comfort
I'm a violinist who plays in quartets at weddings. One October, my group was to play at an outdoor wedding. It was 45F outside.
The bride REFUSED to move the ceremony inside (even though there was a very nice facility to do so; this was at a fancy hunt club), even though we and her guests were freezing.


Her poor bridesmaids wore strapless dresses with no shawls or anything to keep them warm! It was awful, and my group had to put in our contract that we would not play an outdoor wedding if it was below 55F, as it could ruin our instruments.
On top of that, the bride never thanked us, and apparently, everyone got so drunk at the reception the venue kicked everyone out early. This is a venue that probably costs close to $10k to rent out for the day/night. The bride and groom divorced about a year later.

32. Stealing The Spotlight
I work at a large hotel/conference center and we see a ton of weddings. The Indian weddings (not native American, India Indian) are always pretty crazy.
They have some traditions or required activities that are usually just all-around unnecessary. Like one of them, the Groom had to arrive via boat (we're on a lake) and dance his way into the hotel and into the ceremony room.
He and the entire groom party HAD to do this or the wedding was off. Oh, and they usually spend around $80,000 for these weddings.


Anyway to the point! The bride of one of these weddings was sitting on her designated couch... thing... during the reception. They had scheduled a belly dancer to perform and during the middle of it, the bride stands up and just runs over to the dancer and pushes her on the ground.
She was mad because the dancer was "stealing the spotlight" from her, even though there were other forms of entertainment that did the same thing. Everyone knew she was just jealous of how the dancer looked and it was just sad.
Other than that there was one bride who insisted that everyone called her "The Bride" and not use her name.

33. Not A Good Idea
I was a wedding photographer for a fair bit of time. One bride took way too many pills before the wedding. We went to the botanical gardens to take pictures of the bridal party.
We were there for about an hour and she asked if we could take pictures under a particular rose arch. I told her "We did that, it was the first thing we did."


She asked about 5 or 6 more times before we left. We were supposed to go to a couple of other locations, but we skipped it. We arrived at the reception location and she ran off the bus first and ran behind some bushes to vomit.
She made it halfway through her salad before she ran off never to return to the hall. The party ended after the meal with the groom standing at the door apologizing to all the guests as they exited.

34. DIY Wedding
Going to throw in my anti-Bridezilla story for contrast: the last wedding I attended was in a Scottish castle.
The bride really could not be arsed with the whole thing (the groom really wanted it) so just bought a £15 white dress and put a fake-fur wrap thing over her shoulders. It looked good, it looked especially appropriate in front of the roaring fire in that ancient chamber.


She also told the makeup/hair or whatever person - they turn up and attempt to charge a fortune for such cosmetics - that she would not be welcomed if she turned up at the bridal suite.

35. The Poor Florist
Fairly simple story. A renowned florist in the Milwaukee area does flowers for a wedding that I was a server at. The bride and fellow girls came up to the reception hall before the guest to look at the room.


Sees these orange flowers (that the bride picked out) and just gets flustered. Tells the florist she feels let down. Now this florist is a little older than most and takes it well but as soon as the bride leaves, the florist starts to cry and it just broke all of our hearts.

36. She Needs To Calm Down
This wedding was a mess. I worked at a golf club that held weddings. The bride is crazy. Prior to the wedding had requested we tear out our landscaping to match her event and replace the carpet because she didn't like the fact that it was deep green.
The newlyweds got into their first fight as a married couple over salad (over the fact that he didn't look at her during their big entrance). Proceeded to just not really interact for the rest of the event.


At the end of the evening, the bride's family gets in the rental transportation, leaves, and the bus doesn't return. The groom's family (from out of town) was stuck without a ride or a clue of where to go.
We called all the cabs in the area and ended up driving a few people back to the hotel ourselves- we felt really bad for them. The bride went home with her parents, the groom left with his. Last we heard they were divorced within the year. Good wedding cake though.

37. Cheers For The Truth
Not so much a bridezilla story but entertaining anyway: a big Italian wedding here about 20 years ago, and every single member of both families was there it seemed, there were dozens and dozens of them. Great day, it gets to the speeches and the groom is the last to go.
Thanks to everybody for coming, thanks to the bride's parents, his parents, everybody, then thanks to the bride for screwing his best man for the past 6 months and thinking he wouldn't find out about it.


Raises his glass and calmly walks out to deafening silence. Turns out the bride and best man had carried on this affair, he felt humiliated after all their years together and figured this was the greatest shame he could put on her.

38. Daddy, Raise The River
I grew up in a Southern town along a river. This town was -and is- one of those towns with a Junior League, an old country club, and several other exclusive traditions for the prominent and monied families that have been there since God was a boy.
Anyway, one summer I worked out on a farm outside of town that was on the river; the land next door was owned by the scion of one of the prominent local families, and this summer his daughter was getting married.


Because of our proximity, we heard all of the juicy details about the wedding. Our favorite was that the bride wasn't happy with how the river looked- it was low due to a drought that summer- and so Daddy called the Army Corps of Engineers to have them release a little water at the dam to fill things out a little.

39. That Wasn’t My Fault
I want to share the story of my non-bridezilla. When I got married (now divorced) I had the following issues happen: -2 days before the wedding (at the final fitting) the store lost my one-of-a-kind wedding dress.
Flowers got sent to the wrong location (different city). Officiant canceled that morning -50 mile-an-hour winds at the ceremony site -1 month before reception hall tells us they are double booked -1 week before MIL forgets to put the final payment on the cake, we don't get it in time


Through ALL of that, never went bridezilla. I never cried, raised my voice, or threatened.
At the reception, my sister (now, unsurprisingly, estranged) PUNCHED ME UNPROVOKED. I finally lost it, turned around, and yelled, "Try that again!".
My husband held me back and her husband (they got engaged two days after us and got married a month before) held her back. They left. Everyone thought I had just randomly gone Bridezilla because they didn't realize she had punched me in the back.

40. Doing It Again
Once turned up as an evening guest at 8 pm (supposedly after the speeches and meal, in time for drinks and dancing) to discover that one of the courses had been the wrong thing, and the bride had ordered the kitchen to cook the whole meal again from scratch.


By the end of the meal, etc, it was 11 pm and there was barely enough time for even the bride and groom's dance, let alone the guests. She basically destroyed her own wedding day celebrations over something so trivial.
On the other hand, myself and the evening guests retired to the bar and had a great night. Imagine a bunch of friends that hadn't seen each other in a while all go on a night out - only wearing evening dresses, kilts, etc.

41. Rude Bride
Mine isn't that good but I guess I'll tell it. I used to do bridal hair for Indian weddings. I'm white, and the woman I worked for was Indian so that's the type of clients she attracted.
Anyway, I also had to learn how to drape a sari and a dupatta (the shawl thing they wear around them.) So the woman I worked for taught me.


Anyway, on the day of the wedding, I was sent on my own to do her hair and draping. No big deal. The bride looked at me and said "You can't drape this, you're white" and I laughed and told her to let me do my job.
She looked perfect and had a wonderful wedding. ...the rude witch. (She was rude for other reasons. Made me hurry because the photographer was early).

42. Ruined By A Piece Of Cake
One of the chefs I used to work with told me a brilliant tale. They had a full wedding, and everything went smoothly, till it came to cutting up the cake.


They did the first cut and sent it to the kitchen to get it divided up. One of the chefs then cut up and served both layers of the cake, and the top(?) layer is often saved for the christening or birthday or whatever. This ruined her big day, and cost the kitchen £2000 to subdue her.

43. That’s A Weird Demand
Me and a few friends were in a nightclub in Prague when we met a group of fellow Irish people. It turns out two of the people had been married two days before but their honeymoon wasn't for another few days, so some of the younger guests stayed with them in Prague.
We got chatting with them and within half an hour the new bride began flirting with us, quite clearly. She was pretty drunk but not completely hammered.


The husband clearly noticed the flirting and was getting restless. A little while later she approached me saying "I don't care if you're gay, straight, or bisexual but can you screw me right now in the toilets?".
Obviously, I declined. It turns out she had approached all 4 of my friends as well with similar proposals.

44. The Wrong Shade
I know this is going to get buried, but... In high school, I worked for a wedding planner/florist. I helped her make arrangements and do set-up/breakdown at venues, primarily.
Well, she was in charge of her daughter's wedding... long story short, her daughter threw a 5-lb unity candle at her the day before the wedding because it was the wrong shade of ivory.


It missed her head by inches. Would have knocked her out cold and probably done some serious bodily harm. She retired from wedding planning after that.

My SO was a photographer at a wedding of a couple who were friends of the family - the groom was Canadian, and the bride was Thai.
They did this whole big speech about how no one supported them because they are a "bi-racial couple" (disregarding the 200 people in attendance at the wedding who were clearly supporting them), went on and on about how unique they were because they ignored cultural/racial barriers, etc.


Then when my SO gave them the edited wedding photos they complained to him because the bride's skin was too dark. They said he took the photos wrong because her skin was showing too dark. What the hell?
Then we saw copies of their engagement photos (different photographers) and she was photoshopped to within an inch of her life, with alabaster skin. Goodness. (My SO still got paid for the work, but lost a reference which sucked).
