“Chaos Unleashed: The Unforgettable Moments That Made Weddings Unpredictably Wild!”
During the bride’s speech she made comments about how she was glad that all her *true* friends were able to be bridesmaids. Later on I heard her make nasty references to me, using the world cripple instead of my name. Before I left I went to say goodbye to her and she said, very loudly, that I still hadn’t paid for the bridesmaid dress. This dress hadn’t even been ordered when I was told that I was no longer a bridesmaid.
The next time I heard from her was a year later when she invited me to her baby shower (I do think that the only reason she invited me was to get a gift).
Of course she had every right to request that I no longer be a bridesmaid but the pettiness and nasty comments were over the top. Especially as it was all over a pair of 5 inch heels.
When we asked Hardy whether she had any wild wedding stories, she burst out laughing. “Sooooo many!” she says. “How many do you want?” The makeup artist has witnessed the good, the bad, the ugly, and the utterly hilarious when it comes to weddings.
Had a bridesmaid go into labor during photos before the ceremony. She stayed for the ceremony (albeit sitting in the back) and then she took off for the hospital. Baby was born before the cake was cut!
I came as a +1 to a wedding. I knew the bride as an acquaintance.
The wedding was in a church of Christ in East Tennessee, where that denomination is cult like. I am Methodist so I was barely tolerated. They put me in the worst seat in the church, behind a wide column that concealed the air conditioner return. I saw none of the service and what I heard was muddled by the whooshing air through the AC. The preacher was loud so I heard enough to know what they were doing. They did way too much. Everybody seemed to want to hog the occasion for their own 15 minutes of fame. The preacher gave a full sermon that was heavy on church of Christ doctrine. Both the brides parents and grooms parents did a wreath ceremony and renewed their vows, they had a candle lighting ceremony, misbehaving ring bearers, communion, the preacher hijacked the part where they exchange vows to talk about some unrelated bulls**t. It was a disgusting display of narcissism before men and an abomination before the Lord for them attaching His name to their self centered pageantry.
