The article highlights various bizarre and chaotic incidents that occurred at weddings, showcasing the unpredictable nature of such events. From a wedding marred by extreme heat and violent outbursts between clergy and the wedding party, to a ceremony interrupted by physical accidents and mishaps, the stories emphasize that weddings can be far from the fairy tale moments often depicted. These recollections remind readers that real-life weddings can include drama, disorganization, and unexpected turmoil, proving that not all celebrations go as planned.
I attended a colleague's wedding in a very old cathedral in the summer without air conditioning. It was super hot - probably in the nineties. First, a grandmother passed out because of the heat. Then, the little ring bearer threw up and passed out. They paused the ceremony but decided to go on with it anyway. When they got to the vows, the priest stopped and told the bride that she didn't have to go through with it. He always thought she should be a nun. She burst out in tears. The groom just blasted a punch into the priest's face. Right away, a bunch of other priests and assistants came out of a side entrance, and pretty much everyone in the audience under 40 got up.
There was a bunch of shoving and a few more punches thrown from both sides before someone got everything under control. A different priest went through the vows in about five seconds, and everyone left for the reception in about 10 seconds. The bride was crying the whole time, and the groom looked like he wanted to find the first priest and beat the crap out of him.
Many years ago, my folks' neighbors had their only daughter's wedding at a hotel. During the ceremony, the awning fell on top of the bridal party. During the reception/dinner, a waiter had a glass punch bowl break in his hands, and the punch spilled all over. A waitress behind him slipped in the punch, fell, and spilled a tray of food. Then, during the dance, a water pipe burst into the ceiling, and the band and dance floor were sprayed with water.
