When you picture your own wedding, you’re probably imagining the most incredible day of your life. But of course, weddings don’t always go to plan, and there’s nothing better than some good old-fashioned wedding day drama. So Redditor u/MyProof_Fly asked, “What’s the most inappropriate thing you’ve ever seen at a wedding?” Here are people’s answers.
1.“Literally 15 seconds before she walked down the aisle, the bride texted the man sitting next to me and said, ‘I wish it was you waiting for me at the end of the aisle.'”
2.“When someone suddenly proposed marriage at another couple’s wedding. It was just begging for attention…”

3.“There were six groomsmen, and each gave a speech. They got worse and worse until the last one consisted only of weird sex jokes.”
4.“While the bride and groom were making speeches, the couple’s three-year-old son was running his butt down the sidewalk screaming, ‘I have to poop, poop!’ with agony in his eyes. This was by far the best part of the day.”

5.“One of the bridesmaids at my wedding reception overindulged and passed out. The father of one of the other bridesmaids carried her to a car so her friend could take her home. He held her in a fireman’s hold all the way from the head table past the entire group of 200 guests. She wasn’t wearing any underwear.”
6.“I was at one where the bride was so drunk she passed out… so they put her in a wheelchair and rolled her around unconscious so people could take selfies with her.”

7.The couple sitting next to us at a ceremony took their little baby with them to the ceremony. Halfway through, the baby started making noise. Instead of taking it outside like normal people, they took out a phone and started playing Peppa Pig – at a loud volume. I missed this beautiful ceremony of two wonderful people because all I could hear was Peppa Pig. I would have preferred to listen to the baby.”
8.“The groom drank shots from a half-naked guest who was lying on the bar. As far as I remember, there weren’t very many anniversaries.”

9.“They wanted their dog to be at the wedding. He walked past the bride and pooped. Hilarious.”
10.“The groom’s sister came to the wedding in a wedding dress. Not a white, elegant dress. No. A white ball gown that looked almost exactly like the bride’s dress. We had a hard time telling them apart! She insisted on stopping the first dance and dancing with her brother. And the groom’s mother wore white too.”

11.“The best man was making the toast at the reception and accidentally said the name of the groom’s first wife instead of his current one.”
12.“I was at a wedding reception where the DJ was a CHAOS and couldn’t get a single song right. It’s time for the mother-son dance. They start dancing and then the song comes on… ‘Sexual Healing’ by Marvin Gaye. I’ve never wanted to laugh so much in my life.”

13.“A guest with a screaming baby arrived late to the ceremony and ran right behind the bride as she walked down the aisle.”
14.“The bride’s father thought the day was going to revolve around him. He kept interrupting to make speeches, but the best part was when he gave the couple their gift. He wrote and recited an embarrassing poem about love that sounded like it had been written by a twelve-year-old, but he didn’t stop there. He had it calligraphed and put in a giant frame. And to top it off, he made a stack of copies for everyone to take home.”

15.“A very tall wedding guest wasn’t paying attention and knocked over the cake. The cake fell to the floor and shattered into pieces. The bride was furious.”
16.“In the middle of the reception, they rolled out a birthday cake and some people started singing ‘Happy Birthday.’ Many of us guests had no idea whose birthday it was, and the birthday cake was bigger than the wedding cake. It turned out to be the groom’s mother’s birthday, but the bride had no idea this was planned.”

17.“When we exchanged our wedding vows, I accidentally said ‘rejoice in you’ instead of ‘rejoice with you’ to my wife. Grandma laughed, so it was a success.”
18.And finally: “The maid of honor vomited when the priest asked if anyone had any objections.”
