Tackiest wedding you've attended?

[annegal]

Tell me it was tackier than the "We'll all be watching the College football game in the living room after the vows" Wedding we're invited to.

I went to one where the bride and groom had only known each other for a few weeks, there ceremony was in her dad's yard and only lasted 5 minutes, they had a "pig pickin'" in the same yard directly afterward, and then they immediately left. The whole thing lasted an hour AT MOST. Everyone was just sort of hanging around in shorts and t-shirts so we were way over dressed and the back of the get away car said "Git-R-Done"

girl i used to be friends with(no longer friends thank GOD) had some rap song playing as she walked down the isle. everyone kind of looked at each other like "***?!?!?" and tried not to laugh....although i wasn't laughing i was just in shock.

I can't say that I have ever been to a tacky wedding. I guess I'm lucky!

It has to be the one where the father changed from his tux into overalls and a straw hat and came into the reception with a shotgun (yes, the bride was pregnant, but not showing yet) I know it was only a joke, but it was sooooooo tacky.

Then maybe the one where the bride and groom both were totally wasted and fighting by the end of the reception. (not physical fighting, just yelling at each other)

One that I did not attend, but really funny...sort of. My SILs brothers wedding where they could not find his father (the grooms father) for the toast. So, they send out a group of people to find him and it ends up he was in a van in the parking lot having a 'private' parety with his 5th wife. Arrgghhh, can you imagine?

My verson of a tacky wedding may well be somebody's version of their dream wedding so I'll just keep my comments to myself.

I will say that we left absolutely STARVING though! LOL!

Ahhhh, let's see. The bride and groom allowed their young children to chatter and walk around during the ceremony, the groom's mother even talked to the groom during a part of the ceremony when a song was playing and we were all supposed to be quiet, the preacher forgot to tell us to sit DOWN after the bride got to the altar so everyone in the church stood up during the entire ceremony, at the reception the bride couldn't stop chugging beer before she threw her bouquet, the little programs she made for the reception had embarrassing anecdotes about her new husband..... There's probably more but I'm forgetting all of it (luckily). But yes, it was very tacky!!!

 

[MELSMICE]

Let's see.............it's would have to be the one in which the groom smashed cake all over the bride's face & dress.

When it came time for the toast he proceeded to tell everyone that he wanted to toast the most wonderful woman he had ever met, to thank her for everything she had done for him since he met her. He went on for a good 5 minutes about how great she was.

He then proceeded to say, "Raise you glasses in a toast to my room mate, Angela." His bride's name was Jamie!!!!!

Many years ago I went to the wedding of a coworker. I had just come back from my dad's funeral so it gave me a laugh when I really needed it!

The groom showed up in a tuxedo that had dirt all up and down the satin seams of the pants. Groom was bald but used the spray on hair to look macho for his big day. Heck Rustoleum spray paint would have looked a lot better, at least it wouldn't have run.

They served submarine sandwiches and potato chips at the reception along with 1 bottle of champagne per table of 20 people. Groom decided to DJ his own wedding and couldn't get his own equipment to work. The bride wanted to show everyone the cute granny boots she was wearing under her dress. You could clearly see through her white stockings that she hadn't bothered to shave her legs.

What's that about? Sounds interesting...

The tackiest wedding we've ever been to was a friend/co-worker of DH's. The groom fainted two times, the second time he went totally down. I thought the wedding would have to be re-scheduled. I felt so bad for the bride, she was standing there just looking on her husband to be. The groomsmen had to carry the groom to a nearby bench to lay him down. There was a collective "oh" in the church when he fell.

That wasn't the tacky part though. The food was absolutely horrible. It was chicken cordon bleu, the sauce had a greasy flavor to it. It was inedible! The tackiest part was the cash bar. Yes, we even had to pay for a small glass of soda. However, the bride wore a gorgeous silk wedding gown that was imported.

We went to one last year where the groom's side was all dressed to the nines in tuxedos, and bride's side was very "nature like"...no shoes, made their own..umm..interesting gowns...no food at the reception.

They got married 10/30 last year, were finalized with their divorce 10/05 this year.

Or my first wedding...I was the only one in a real wedding gown, the rest of the people were in medieval attire (per my ex husband's request). I still shudder to think of those pictures...

The worst I attended the wedding was picture perfect-bridesmaids looked pretty (even if the dresses looked like slipcovers), beautiful flowers filled the church, groom in his dress blues. Care was obviously taken to make sure it was perfect.

Then the reception: it was held at the local Red Man (a/k/a Redneck) Club. A bunch of folding tables were set up-half with plastic tablecloths, half with trash bags as tablecloths. The bride (a coworker) had told me about her favors, spoons wrapped in tulle with hershey kisses in them with the saying "a spoonful of kisses from the Mr and Mrs" attached. There were three per table of 20 people and it was plastic spoons!

Tables were set up with finger sandwiches, chips, pretzel and a juice fountain and it appeared that the spread would feed 20 people. The bride was telling everyone at work that she had 200 guests.

Bride and groom arrived, she serenades him and then they smashed a layer of the cake into each other's faces. My husband of two weeks turns to me and asks "Can we take the gift on our way out?" We left before sandwiches and got a nice lunch at the place we'd had our reception two weeks before.

Same job, a couple that both worked there got married. I didn't attend the wedding, but heard afterwards about the happenings:
The person handling the music at the reception cued the couples first dance music, bride screams across the hall "NOT NOW, DAMMIT!"
Brides Mom went from table to table to collect the cards from the guests so they could pay for the reception!
About 6 months later, I'd left the job, but met up with people from there for drinks. The groom was eating something with tons of garlic and I said "wife won't want to kiss you after eating that", only to find they'd already split. Ouch!

Well I had to witness Britney and K-Fed's wedding on UPN...does that count

 

[hlbtimes2]

One of my brothers best friends weddings was the tackiest I've been to. I actually felt bad for them. Only about 5 people showed up for the ceremony. The minister got their names wrong- it was written in from the last wedding he had done, so he just used those names. There were so few people that the brides parents took us all to the local steak house for dinner. When dessert was served the waiters all sang "the young happy couple is gonna get it every night..........". Yeah, tacky.
