I went to one that was like the "Hatfields and McCoy's".....maybe all of you young people won't get that one. Well, like Romeo and Juliet? Well, xxx "Hatfield" married xxx "McCoy".....and they all showed up at the wedding, and, yep, you guessed it -- a fight as in fists broke out. The mother of the bride was in the kitchen crying. It was rather pathetic. I don't think they are still married.

It was an outdoor wedding:
The guest's chairs were covered in ants & throughout the ceremony bees swarmed around everyone - including the bride & groom. Also, we found out later that someone had sprayed poison to kill the ants all over the chairs. Maybe I'm the only one, but I'd like to know if the seat I'm in has been drenched with insect repellant before I touch it & sit in it for 30 minutes, especially with kids around.
It was probably 95-98 degrees outside. All the men chucked their jackets as soon as the ceremony was over. The reception was mostly indoors and it was so hot people actually moved outside to cool off. (problem with the a/c I'm guessing?)
Then at the recpetion there was no place to sit anything (purse, jacket, drinks, etc.) & few places to sit unless you wanted to resort back to the poison chairs.
Anyways, it wasn't the worst thing I've ever experienced, but all of these problems could have easily been solved with just a little planning in advance.

A former co-worker, she was very immature and had the most immature wedding. The songs were terrible, the dj wouldn't shut up. After the wedding, I assumed I had time to give her a gift. But she was such a money hungry bridezilla she was talking to the entire office on who gave her how much, and that I never gave her anything. Well, I ended up giving her something very generous and that kept her mouth such. A year later she was divorced. Her husband had an affair with her best friend. The entire thing was immature, it felt like a tv show.
When I got married there were maybe 5 guests that never gave anything but I would NEVER make anyone feel bad because of it.

interesting question. A friend of my sister's invited the whole family to her wedding and what made it the worst I've ever been to was that the bride had a big poofy dress on with white tennis shoes. Not only that but the wedding reception was held at a campground and we ate burgers and hot dogs off of picnic tables. It was more like a bbq then a wedding and the groom went MIA for about two hours. They also didn't have any dancing, or anything for us to do but sit and eat in silence, and there was no cake either! It was grab yourself a plate grab a burger or dog, fix it up and eat like you were at a company picnic. Very odd. Then to top it off at the end when the groom came back from MIA his ex-girlfriend showed up with her new boyfriend and that caused some drama! It made all of us guests feel uncomfortable when the bride was saying she was going to kick the girls butt for showing up on her wedding day etc. etc. Needless to say my family never got a thank you card for the gift we gave and my sister and her aren't that close of friends anymore.

The worst weddingI have ever attend was one where I was not a guest.
I've been to 5 weddings in 2 years and they were all fabolous.
I worked a wedding about 2 years ago w/ a catering company. The wedding was in a backyard at someone's lake house.
They had two port-o-potties....to start.
Second, they did not order enough food for everyone. I think there was 120 people there and we ran out of food before everyone even got seconds.
It was buffet style, but it was a served waitstaff. I was told (during everyone's first round) to give no more then one piece of chicken and one scoop of veggies.
This was not the caters fault. The amount of food was order specifically by the bride and groom.
The catering company I worked for was not cheap either. The chef I worked for (who was the owner too) went to a very famous culinary school and his services and food were NOT cheap.
So many people did NOT get seconds. Such a waste
What killed me was they had a huge pre-reception party at a vineyard. That's where there ceremony was. They went through TONS of wine..
apparently the number was two bottles for every 2 people. So, these people did have money.
I questioned why they spend so much money on the wine and the cocktail hour (also catered by our company) but then had people using port-o-potties at their backyard reception.
They also had a full-open bar at their reception.
For all the money, they could have had their wedding at a nice reception hall where everyone could have been fully feed and still had as much wine as they wanted.
I made $20 an hour to cater that wedding. So, that tells you I worked for a pretty expensive catering company.

I have nothing against inexpensive weddings but when I arrived at the reception expecting a bar with at least a nice cold soda available to me, I found no bar, just pitchers of warm iced tea on each table. I was so annoyed and very thirsty.

It was my cousins wedding, and a really fancy one at that. The best man got up for his speech, and every story was about the groom vomiting, very classy! The chief bridesmaids speech wasn't much better. She got up and all she could say was how happy she was to be "chief bridesmaid". The other bridesmaid had to almost drag her away from the mic, as she kept on repeating her self.
Very funny to recall now, but I feel bad for my cousin that her wedding will not be remembed for the food or the beautiful dress, but for the crap speeches.

I went to a wedding where there was absolutely NOTHING for food for the reception- which is fine, only no one knew so they didn't eat expecting to be fed. Plus, the bride and groom had other people in the family call others and INFORM them they needed to buy this or that for the wedding. It would have been fine if they called us and said "hey, would you mind buying this for us to help us out, and it will be your gift to us?" But they didn't. It was so irritating and really a crappy thing to do to everyone.

When we were 19 my best friend married a guy she had sort of been "promised" to forever. They were both Mormon and the girl's parents didn't approve of her high school boyfriend because he wasn't Mormon. It was just kind of expected that she would eventually marry this guy she'd known forever. Well, she did. They got married in the temple so no one but baptized Mormons were allowed inside the church (I thought that was REALLY weird). When they came outside, they were married. They took pictures around the temple grounds and then we went back to the bride's parents' house for...basically nothing. There was no music, no dancing, certainly no liquor (they were Mormon, after all!), and no food. I pretty much sat at a table and cried because I knew I was losing my friend. We lost touch within a few years.
Last year was our 20th high school reunion and I got back in touch -- briefly -- with the bride. She is still married to the same man and they have five daughters.

I went to a wedding that had no dancing, no drinking and just little appetizers for the reception. No one was informed of this, so the reception only lasted about an hour, everyone left to go eat and have some fun!
