Weddings are joyous occasions that celebrate love. Most of the time. That is, if all goes to plan.
Most weddings are marked by traditional ceremonies. But those can fly out the window when family and friends get involved.
Family and friends have a funny way of making things, shall we say, more “exciting.” This could end in something that gives us all a good laugh. Or a good cry or a groan. Either way, it’s what we call a wedding fail.
Here are 75 of the biggest wedding fails guests will never forget:
[/slideshow]
1) Late to the Wedding
The one thing you have to do at a wedding is be on time. This cousin failed to do that. And he ended up at the wrong wedding.
2) Falling Photographer
This photographer had a little whoopsie-daisy. He took a tumble while taking pictures. And like a good photographer, he didn’t stop shooting.
3) Hiding
Having children in your wedding is always a gamble. You never know how they are going to react. Or if they are going to spend the entire ceremony hiding under a bridesmaid’s dress.
4) The Funny Grandpa
There’s always that person in the family who tries to be the funny one. It could be an uncle, a cousin. It’s the grandpa in this family.
5) The Forgetful Husband
Vows shouldn’t be hard to remember. I mean, you can write them down and read them. Apparently that was too much to ask at this wedding.
6) Mike and Mark
The priest is basically the MC of a Catholic wedding. Things can get weird if you MC isn’t at the top of his game. I think that’s what happened here.
7) Drinking Time
Some people really do love their drink. Maybe a little too much. Like this uncle who couldn’t wait to start drinking after the ceremony was over.
8) The Hypocrite
Some people just love the opportunity to scold others. And sometimes they don’t realize that they should be scolding themselves. Like this priest.
9) Wrestleweddingmania
Why wouldn’t pre-wedding wrestling be appropriate? Probably because someone could get hurt or their nice clothes messed up. Guess it was 5 o’clock somewhere.
10) Holy Water
Church isn’t for everyone. The best man in this wedding included. Only holy water could revive him.
11) The Money
Once upon a time, a bride used to have to bring a dowry for her husband in order to be married. It probably still happens in weird parts of the world today. This family just flipped the script. The bride’s dad wants a dowry.
12) Waffley Wedded
Well, that’s one way to skirt your wedding vows. Technically, he’s not lawfully married if he didn’t say he was. He ended getting actually married and also got waffles. Sometimes you just have waffles on the brain. They are delicious.
13) Happy Birthday
Some kids kick and scream going down the aisle. Some refuse to go down the aisle at all. But this is just adorable.
14) April Fools
Do you think this couple was completely oblivious to the fact that they got engaged on April Fools Day? Or was it just really bad timing? Their family probably feels bad now for not believing them but who could blame them?!
15) Hide and Go Seek
Some are pros at hide-and-seek. Some are just amateurs. This kid is a pro.
16) Grandma Lettin’ Loose
Grandma was getting simply wild at her grandchild’s wedding. Seven shots in a row. She can definitely hold her liquor down more than I can.
17) Fumbling Wedding Vows
The guests at this wedding thought they were watching the groom be physically abused. Turns out his wife was just doing him a solid. She saved him from a mosquito.
18) Bailout
Wow, this is real reckless. And totally unfortunate. But he must have really loved her if he still married her.
19) Wrong Groom
This groom seems to be pretty clueless. He got it all wrong. The church AND the date.
20) Not Married Wedding
Even though these two didn’t get married, they still seem to have a solid relationship. If you can still throw a party together to celebrate the fact that you’re not ready for that kind of commitment, that’s pretty mature if you ask me. I wonder if they ended up getting married or not.
21) Speak Now
I wonder if this lady was trying to make a joke. Or if she was actually serious. Either way, it’s kind of in bad taste.
22) Oh Shoot
This dad was doing so well. But he forgot one thing. To walk his daughter down the aisle.
23) Comedy, Comedy, Comedy
This here is comedy gold. There is no one who is going to forget that wedding. Including that seagull.
24) Bad Timing
Dads can be kind of clueless sometimes. But this dad was probably a little nervous. He was probably making random conversation and realized now wasn’t the time.
25) Football
What is it with some guys and football? It’s like nothing else matters when the game is gone. Even your daughter’s wedding.
26) The Marriage Certificate
The marriage certificate is only legally binding. The real marriage is when you say I do. You still have to get that paper signed… for tax reasons. Even if it is at a Valero.
27) Determined to Marry
They say love gives you superhuman powers. And this is proof. That guy really really wanted to get married. Even a locked door wouldn’t stop him.
28) Best Witches
This is just too adorable. Auntie tried her best. She almost got it right.
29) I… Megan Katherine
Oh, this is too funny. I bet the guests were in hysterics. Poor nervous guy. No one is going to let him forget that.
30) Fainting
This takes nervous to a new level. I’d be concerned for his medical well being. Maybe the priest was in a rush?
31) Hopeful Grandma
Gotta love grandmas. They’re so hopeful and positive. At least, when they remember your name.
32) Dogs at the Wedding
This is a perfect example of why it’s not a good idea to have a dog at a wedding. Let them walk down the aisle then bring them inside. You don’t know how they’re gonna act with all that food around.
33) Pants Problem
This guy has a pants problem. He doesn’t know how to wear pants. Hopefully, knowing this, he had a spare pair in the car.
34) Arriving in a Cop Car
Those are some great police officers. This family was not about to let a bus fire get in the way of their happiness. They made it to that wedding!
35) Weddings Dogs
Again, this is why dogs in a wedding aren’t the best idea. They are too unpredictable. I bet it was entertaining for the guests though.
36) No Undies
I never understood people who don’t wear underwear. I would be so uncomfortable. But to each his own. Tell that to grandma.
37) The Bouquet
I never heard that the Maid of Honor has to catch the bouquet. I don’t know where she got that idea from, but she ended up fighting a 10-year-old over it. At least she can laugh at herself.
38) Flower Basket
This girl doesn’t like wasting flowers. Unless she’s throwing them at the groom. Then it’s OK.
39) Granny Panties
This is a brilliant idea. I would have loved to seen the look on his face. And everyone else’s.
40) The Dropout
Maybe he thought he was being funny? Didn’t quite turn out that way. Not sure anyone found it funny.
41) Birdseed
The bridal party went a little crazy with the birdseed. This poor bride got a face full. She’s going to be picking that off of her for a while.
42) Wrong Hall
This guest and her partner were partying it up at a wedding. Then they realized that they didn’t know anyone around them. They were in the wrong hall.
43) Sparta
This person was going to be on time to the wedding. They even drove four hours to be there. They were just in the wrong state.
44) Happy Memories
This is why people hire professionals. Because you know your cousin who you asked to film the wedding is going to do something stupid. That’s because they’re not a professional.
45) Turn It Off
Kids are always honest. Sometimes that comes in handy. Like when the wedding band needs to go sans singer.
46) Faints
Damn, this is a whole family of fainters. They need to have the paramedics on hand at their next family gathering. That or have a bunch of mattresses lying around.
47) Dinosaur Boy
What better way to get over being nervous than being a dinosaur. He dinosaured the whole way down the aisle. He even did the roar.
48) The Handkerchief
This kid knows a handkerchief when he sees one. And that dress looks like one giant one. That’s why he blew his nose on it.
49) Moose
You should be focused on your partner on your wedding day. But that’s a little hard when you have moose running around. And you gotta get a pic.
50) The Ring Bear
Sometimes children don’t quite understand what their role is in a wedding party. This kid almost got it. He thought he was the Ring Bear instead of the ring bearer.
51) Eyebrow Be Gone
Honestly, he didn’t do a bad job with that makeup. You can’t tell that he has just one eyebrow. I hope he didn’t tell his wife until she actually noticed it.
52) Invisible Force
It looked like the Holy Spirit or some kind of spirit was interfering in this wedding. Turns out it was a faulty bustle hook. That must have been freaky.
53) Everybody Conga
It could of been worst. Jimmy Fallon could have been the ONLY person on the conga line. What a boring crowd.
54) Another Funny Dad
This is another “funny” dad. Or a dad’s attempt at being funny. Is it really though?
55) Shooting Blanks
Now this is freaking crazy. Those people were probably scared shitless. I would be.
56) Assisted Living Facility Wedding
You can’t make this up. Thankfully the couple had a good sense of humor about it. The ceremony ended up going on undisturbed after that.
57) Feeling Up the Bride
The look on her face is worth a million. But the look on his is priceless. Too damn funny.
58) You Weren’t Invited
Aww, she probably came off as so rude. But she wasn’t trying to be. She was actually trying to be the opposite.
59) Sick Wedding
This is almost too crazy to be true. At least they were both sick and not just one of them. If that couple can get through that, they can get through anything.
60) Am I Getting Married?
This little girl was dumbstruck in love. And then she thought the wedding was all about her. I wonder what Curtis had to say about it.
61) The Sheriff
This is a simple mistake. And would be pretty hilarious. As long as she eventually put the right song on.
62) Trapped
This is so sad. Especially since they forgot to press a button. No one went looking for the moms?
63) Stuffed Bear
You never heard of this tradition? Walking a bear down the aisle? That’s because it’s not a thing.
64) The Wave
I mean, the wave during the ceremony could be funny. But during the vows? Poor timing.
65) Fish Heads
Beach weddings can be unpredictable. You have to worry about the weather and local wildlife. And falling fish heads.
66) The Slip
Even though you can see his face, you know it’s full of regret. A face that looks like it’s at the point of no return. Hopefully it wasn’t that big of a slip.
67) Cow Birth
When one thinks of a wedding, you don’t usually think of a cow giving birth. But that’s all the guests at this wedding heard. They got a nature lesson during this wedding.
68) Two Wedding Dresses
This mother-in-law wore a wedding dress to her son’s wedding. Yup, she said it was on sale and wanted to be frugal. You couldn’t have sprung for some $5 dye and threw that thing in the bathtub with the dye at least?
69) Happy Birthday To Uncle
Mom probably felt bad that uncle’s birthday was the same day as the wedding. But still, maybe you could have put a candle in his cake. And not wrestle the mic from the band.
70) First Look
This is hysterical and kind of adorable. It’s a good photo. And something they’ll always remember.
71) DJ From Hell
That DJ has some cojones on him. How are you gonna cut the wedding song? That ain’t right.
72) Stealing the Cake
These people almost got their cake stolen. That would have been horrible. Good thing they got it back.
73) Prank
Honestly, this is so messed up. It’s one thing to do it when you’re just joking around hanging out. But at a wedding. I would have punched him in the face and/or kicked him out.
74) Electrical Fire
Lots of people would be upset by this. But this couple made lemonade out of lemons. They had fun with it.
75) You’ve Been Served
Ok, she wins. This is hands down, the worse. That’s a definite mic drop.
