We've all heard about bridezillas, but what about guest-zillas?
This Guy Has Some Issues
Just went to a wedding about 13 days ago. This last Tuesday the groom calls me in absolute shambles. His best friend, who is (was) also his boss and is married, had been sleeping with his fiancĂ©e both before and after the wedding. This f*cking piece of sh_t was one of the camera men, and went around asking people to say nice things about the couple and turning the camera around to give long speeches about how they were meant for each other and he and his wife were so lucky to be their friends. So my good friend lost his best friend, his wife, and his job in a single sentence; his life is destroyed and he needs constant support. Best of all, the cheating bitch says she’s in love with the boss/friend, and he says the same. (Source)
Only the Bride Wears White
I went to a wedding a few weeks back and the lady in front of us in the church was wearing the same white, high street store dress that I had bought to wear for my own wedding in October. I’d also seen it worn by a lot of brides from a wedding Facebook group I am a member of too. It was white lace with a tulle skirt and gold embroidery. Basically, it was very bridal. She had random people in the street congratulating her as everyone walked to the reception venue across the village. I found out later on from the bride, she’d been asked by several family members not to wear it and still did. (Source)

The Worst Wedding Prank in History
Tickling the person sat next to you when they say “Speak now or forever hold your peace” and everyone turns around. (Source)
Is Nana Okay?
Don’t include the brides beloved Nana in every round of shots or she might pass out at her table and everyone might think she’s dead and get hysterical. (Source)
There’s a Photographer for That
If there is a professional photographer there get the hell out of the way. Put up your shitty cell phone with it’s awful flash. Good money was paid so that they could capture quality images of the event and people constantly jump in front of the photographer and screw up the lighting. (Source)
That’s Why You Have a Wedding Party
Telling the bride about any hitches in the wedding. At my cousin’s wedding, one of the guests told her (the bride) that the buffet was out of roast beef. She’s stressed out enough and she doesn’t need to know. Somebody else should take care of it. Tell the wedding coordinator or the maid of honor. (Source)
Instead of Dressing Up, You Dress Down
The most common issue I have seen is being underdressed. People show up in boots, camo, t-shirts, etc. It’s not the end of the world, but if you can’t get dressed up for a wedding, what do you dress up for? It’s one of the most formal events a normal person will attend. (Source)
How Much Did Uncle Cletus Give Them?
This recently happened in my family and now there’s a whole bunch of drama. The common courtesy when you receive money in a card is to simply say “gift of money,” as well as thanks for the card, but apparently the bride read out each and every total of how much money was in the card. Yeah, no… (Source)
What’s That Miniature Human You Have There?
Bringing a child to a child-free wedding. We had a child-free wedding this year, all the guests knew and then a couple (who we had told personally to not bring their child) turned up with their baby. Really put me in a sour mood with them and caused issues with people asking why their child was allowed but not their own. (Source)
The Bride Is Nervous Enough
Telling embarrassing stories about the bride/groom when you were told not to. (Source)
No, We Don’t Play That Song
I work the soundboard at weddings, please don’t harass the staff. Some drunk dude comes up during the reception. “Hey… hey… hey… hey… can you play the cha-cha slide?” I’m sorry man, the bride gave me a very detailed playlist that didn’t include that for a reason. Stop annoying me every five minutes. Im being polite and non-committal because I have to. Oh, and also pull up a family tree of the family you aren’t familiar with and go over it. Pretty much a tenth of the time someone gets a name wrong on mic, and thats easily avoidable (Source)
Not That Kind of Closet
Doing anything that draws attention away from the happy couple and on to you. For example my cousin came out during his best man’s speech during is brothers wedding…… really you could not let someone have that one day in the spotlight? (Source)
Ripping Off the Bride
On the day of my wedding, my caterer tried to hold the food we had already paid for hostage unless we gave her more money right then and there. Don’t do that. It’s kinda uncool. Luckily she caved when I called the bank to cancel the check I had already given her. (Source)

That’s Not Why He’s Called the Best Man
True story: years ago, I was at a wedding reception at a big hotel that had two receptions going at once. I went to the mens’ room and a guy in a tux was crying his eyes out while another guy comforted him. I took my time, and learned that crying guy was the groom (from the other wedding), comforting guy was one of his groomsmen, and the cause of the drama was that groom walked in on his new bride having sex with his best man.

The Bride Wore Class
I went to a wedding where the mother of the bride had gotten engaged the night before (at the rehearsal). She then spent the entire reception at her daughter’s wedding running around and showing everyone her ring and talking about how she was engaged. It was extremely classless, although the bride handled it perfectly. She later admitted to being livid, but you couldn’t tell, which I found impressive. (Source)
That’s Not a Knife!
Murdering someone. It seems off the wall, but I know a guy who was charged with murder after stabbing and slitting a guys throat at his sister’s wedding. (Source)
Duplicate Dresses
I read a story where a girl’s sister wore her old wedding dress to her wedding because she “didn’t think it made sense to wear the dress only one time. And that this was a good occasion” sooo…that…don’t do that. (Source)

A Kid Can’t Be a Kid
Letting your 9 year old throw a tantrum because he’s not the center of attention. I’ve seen that at not only a wedding, but at a funeral as well. Same kid. (Source)
