Weddings are supposed to be wonderful celebrations in which friends and families of the bride and groom gather together for one special night. Yet, sometimes, things go off the rails. There are times where really awkward moments occur (and they usually happen out of the blue).
Some of them may be funny, but others may be downright dreadful. Today, we want to take a look at some of the moments that people have posted about. We can’t wait to dive into this ourselves, so let’s get this show on the road.
Wedding with homework
Some people love weddings while other people don’t really enjoy them very much. But if there was ever a way to make sure that everyone had fun at a wedding, it was by making the wedding have homework! Yeah, you read that right.
According to this person, they once attended a wedding that had the theme of “books,” meaning that everyone had to read a certain book before attending. It was a good idea, but it very obviously backfired and just left people in very awkward situations. Why couldn’t they have made the theme “snacks” or “TV”?
Adele at a wedding
The job of a wedding DJ is to pick music that is absolutely not going to cause any drama. And at the very least, a wedding DJ shouldn’t be picking any music that is very obviously sad. “Someone Like You” by Adele? C’mon! How was that NOT going to cause something bad to happen? That’s one of the saddest songs ever!
While we understand why the ex had to be escorted out in this situation, can you really blame him for singing his heart out? We bet people who were happily in relationships were belting along too.
Grabbing some cupcakes for themselves
A lot of people get absolutely massive cakes for their weddings. These cakes are meant to feed everyone, but they can be a real pain to cut up into small pieces for all the guests. That’s why cupcakes can be a real boon to big weddings. Allowing your guests to serve themselves will save you a ton of time and effort.
But beware: everyone at the wedding might forget that eating before the bride and groom is considered rude if they have their own cupcakes to munch on. That’s precisely what happened at this wedding. How awkward.
There’s always a plan B
Not every relationship is going to be approved of. That’s just how love works. You might find the person that you think is your soulmate only to later learn that your family hates them. And you know what? That’s okay. They don’t have to love who you’re with, YOU just have to love them.
But that doesn’t make it any less awkward when your family members give speeches at your wedding saying that you can come back home if you leave your spouse. Sure, we guess that their intentions were good, but this wedding sounds really not so great.
Doomed from the start
It’s never a good thing when a marriage ceremony is doomed from the start. It doesn’t help when the groom shows up plastered. It also doesn’t help if the bride is simply going through with the wedding to avoid embarrassment. To then know that the bride never even signed the marriage certificate is quite enlightening.
Yeah, we’d say that this marriage ceremony was doomed from the start, which is a real shame (given how significant they are). Not even just for the bride and groom, either, but for everyone involved.
Not the groom’s baby
Oh…my…goodness. This is something that you see on TV shows. We’re assuming he did know, but we want to know if one of the few people who knew was the groom himself. We’d imagine he’d know if the baby was his, but you simply never know.
If he didn’t, that would’ve completely amplified the uncomfortable nature of this wedding for the person telling the story. Let’s just say that if that was the case, there probably were some words when he finally figured out what was what.
