My husband's best friend from college was the very "needy" type who had to be the center of everyone's attention at all times. DH and I started daiting about 6 months before college buddy got married. Needless to say, college buddy didn't care for me or the fact that i took some of DH's attention off him. There were several incidents, but the one that stands out in my mind is the time he keyed into our apartment without knocking while I was there. He know I was living ther, but convinently "forgot" and stopped by to "use the restroom". Yea, right.
DH was one of 14 groomsmen in a HUGE southern wedding, which happend to be in my home town. The groom's family had hotel rooms for everyone for the rehersal dinner and wedding, but he just insisted we come down the day before for the bachelor party. Being poor college students, we stayed with my parents. My DH is not blamless in this and should have stood up for himself, but long story short his friend needed to reassert his importance and perssured him into drinking WAY more than he should have, and left him at like the 3rd club of the night when he finally said enough so I had to go get him and bring him back to my mom's.... trashed. It was LOVELY.
Fast forward to the next night, rehersal dinner. I got into a shouting match with the groom becuase he was once again drunk and pushing DH, who was still sick from the night before, to do shots. DH was too nice to tell him off, but after he got in my face and used some ugly language about me ____ whipping DH, I snapped.
Told him:
1. The rehersal dinner is not the the place, and the birde is mortified.
2. DH is still sick from the night before and I am pissed that you abandoned him.
3. Grow up!!!
and we left. At 3am there is a knock at our door. It is the drunk goom who no one else will let into thier room. DH is one of 14 groomsmen and numerson family at the same hotel, including the groom's parents, but he comes to OUR room slobbering, fall down drunk. He needs a bathroom NOW. DH lets him in and says use it and GO. He gets back in bed with me and groom goes into the bathroom. 10 min later Sometihng hits me, hard. It is drunk friend who is now passed out in between us. We cannot rouse him so DH rolls him to one side of the bed, and eventually he falls off on the floor. Good thing too becuase he was so drunk he wet himself!
His bride was at breakfast when we went and was mortified to learn that he spent the night with us. groom was drunk again before the noon wedding, and falling all over himself. Bride again mortified. We didn't talk to them again after the wedding becuase the groom was convinced I had "stolen" his BFF. I don't know if the marriege lasted, but I am betting not.
Hands down, the WORST wedding I have ever been to.
