Real Wedding Horror Stories That Will Make You Stay Single Forever

10. Sword Fight

At this wedding, the groom invited a bunch of his old friends from the marines, who showed up with their swords. After everyone indulged in the open bar, it resulted in a sword fight on the dance floor. They admit it was an amazing experience, and we’d think it would be, too. However, we’d love to watch this, from a safe distance away from the swords, because it sounds like a mishap waiting to happen (via IronMermaiden).

9. No Need For The Bathroom

Many brides choose to wear sexy undergarments on their wedding day to feel desirable for their husband-to-be. This bride had something else in mind. Because her dress required so much effort to take off to use the restroom, she decided to wear an adult diaper underneath her dress. This is one of those horror stories where you hope nothing goes wrong. At least she was able to savor every moment of the day since she wasn’t wasting any time going to the toilet. She can do it safely, at any time during the day (via Kueez).

8. 10 Bridesmaids

No one wants to sit around and listen to the introductions of bridesmaids, especially when the best part of a wedding is the celebration afterward. That’s what most guests look forward to. This Twitter user shares their experience attending a wedding with ten bridesmaids, where the introductions took one hour. They closed the bar for two hours during the introductions, so they weren’t able to get any alcohol. Because it took so long, they went from tipsy to hungover (via kmskoloff).

7. Sleeping Priest

Priests work hard, and the older they are, the more difficult it is for them to stay attentive. One of these horror stories involved a priest falling asleep at their wedding. Then, they called the wife by the wrong name during their vows. Priests are trying their hardest, which is why it’s so forgivable. Hopefully, everyone was able to laugh at the situation and move on (via raymalaspina).

6. No Groom

We can’t control Mother Nature, which is why all we can do is hope it’s beautiful weather on our wedding day. Apparently, at a friend’s wedding reception, it was extremely windy, which is unfortunate for this couple. The groom got blown off the wedding cake, making it look like he was purposefully running away. Let’s hope it wasn’t predicting future events (via deborahkim55).

5. Drunk In The Bathroom

Once people start taking shots, there’s no stopping them, especially at a wedding, when everyone is in the party mood. Horror stories that begin with alcohol usually end up badly. This husband, who isn’t a drinker, decided to take vodka shots with the guests. He ended up getting so drunk at the reception, that he had to be carried up to the hotel room on a luggage cart. Let’s hope his hangover wasn’t too bad the following day (via HannahSavenok).

4. Blind As A Bat

There’s nothing worse than accidentally putting ear wax remover in your eyes on your wedding day. This is exactly what happened to this husband. He mistakenly thought it was a contact lens solution. It irritated his eyes, and he couldn’t see properly. Even though he got married blindly, he said his bride was “a pretty, white blurry thing coming down the aisle.” This is one of those wedding horror stories that happen rarely, but when they do happen, can end up horribly. At least he managed to still see his bride, albeit unclearly (via julnilsmith).

3. Freaky Mother

It’s frustrating when you need to wait for guests to arrive at your wedding, and it’s downright rude to show up late to a wedding. This Twitter user experienced late guests at their wedding, so the wedding started late. Her mother freaked out and took it personally, screamed at her, and caused the bride to cry. Unfortunately, this ruined her makeup and ended up in one of the worst wedding horror stories we’ve heard of (via DrJenGunter).

2. Titanic

Imagine trying to take the perfect wedding photo, only to end up in a disaster? This couple shared one of their wedding horror stories when they tried to take a photo in a rowboat. The rowboat filled with water, and they both fell into the cold lake. The water ruined their clothes, and the cold temperatures made them freeze (via Kueez)

1. Subpoena

This is one of the most surprising horror stories we’ve heard of. Wedding days are usually full of love, light, and laughter. Unfortunately, for this father, his ex-wife served him with a subpoena on his daughter’s wedding day. We can all agree that it didn’t turn out very well. We’re wondering why the wife couldn’t wait until after the wedding, since it probably ruined everyone’s day (via B*tchisback2020).
