36 Highly Obnoxious Things Done by Wedding Guests

Oftentimes, a wedding goes poorly not because of the people getting married, but because of the guests who, for whatever reason, try their best to make the day all about themselves. Take, for instance, the Redditor whose sister-in-law asked them to postpone their wedding “a year or two,” because she was planning to get pregnant. She also had specific requests about their wedding cake, citing “religious reasons.” After informing her that this wouldn’t be happening, she ended up not attending the wedding at all. Obviously, this was a blessing. 

Other Redditors have disclosed the most bizarre and obnoxious ways guests stole the spotlight on their big day, including a yearning groomsman, a hungry officiant and a foiled dress heist.

AcrolloPeed 7y ago One of my groomsmen forgot his vest, so he asked my soon-to-be father-in-law if he could borrow his (we were all wearing the same suit) so the groomsmen would all look alike since it didn't matter if the FotB had a vest. My FiL went along with it for the sake of us all looking alike, but he's never been a big fan of that friend since. + 650 ...

The groom's mother cuts in front and says in a really loud voice to the bride: your sister just told me to go fuck myself. What the fuck are you going to do about it?
LaCa2BoMa 3y ago My wife's aunt ignored our signs and announcements to not take photos during the ceremony and leave it to our paid, professional, photographers. That asshole aunt stood in the main aisle taking photos of my wife and her father walking down the aisle, ruining our photographer's photos of the procession. When I finally got the photos she took 6 months later, they were low resolution and out of focus. I spent upwards of 10 hours in Photoshop trying to composite one, single, decent, photo but ended up losing hope. She also got overly drunk and wouldn't stop
ahjhai52 10y ago I used to work for a wedding planner and one time a guest STOLE the bride's dress. The bride had changed into a short, more comfortable dress for her grand exit (her other dress was cumbersome and poofy) and on the security cameras in the venue you could see the guest run into the bathroom while everyone watched the couple leave and take the thousands of dollars dress out the back door. She denied it until we threatened to press charges and then claimed I was going to wash it for the bride + 2.1K ...

windywx22 3y ago My FIL. As Best Man, he carried my ring in his pocket. Не went outside to smoke his pipe before the ceremony and was fiddling with the ring and dropped it in the grass. It was night. The wedding was delayed as everyone got flashlights to help look for it. No one told me what was going on. They couldn't find it, so my MIL let my husband borrow her anniversary band, that was fancy and had diamonds in it. When the time came, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a fancier ring than we had chosen.
DedicatedPornProfile 7y ago When my cousin and her husband were planning on getting married they wanted a small wedding. Something like 40 to 50 people. Both her mother and future mother inlaw weren't having that and took it upon themselves to invite everyone and anyone they could. The guest list quickly shot up to around 700 people. They ended up changing the venue to somewhere way out of state to cut down the guest list and have the smallish wedding they wanted. + 6.8K ...

esk_209 3y ago In lieu of giving a toast at the rehearsal dinner, my MiL got up to announce that she was getting married that next Wednesday. She wore her winter-white micro-mini skirt wedding suit to the ceremony the next day. This was a quiet, Methodist-church wedding in the upper South. My husband's childhood best friend showed up with his girlfriend absolutely stoned out of their gourds (some cocktail of pot and a passel of pharmaceuticals and probably a few things snorted to top it all off). HIS mom stood at the buffet table and ate more than half of
