7 Nightmare Wedding Guests Who Completely Ruined the Big Day

However, she refused, and my husband and mother-in-law insisted she was like family and should stay. I felt like they all ganged up on me, and I couldn’t say more. She ruined my wedding day, and I have a feeling this isn’t the last thing she’ll ruin for me.

5. Grass-Stained and Hurting

I recently had my wedding, and the morning started with us feeling elated about getting married. However, the mood shifted when my soon-to-be husband received a text from his mother, who traditionally had waist-length black hair.

To our astonishment, she sent a photo of herself with her hair cut and colored to mimic mine: shoulder-length, brown with blonde streaks. I was beyond upset, especially considering the timing.

Despite this, I let it go and focused on our special day. As we proceeded with the ceremony, held beside a picturesque riverbank, a moment came for the parents to join us for a vow.

Instead of standing with the other parents near the groom, his mother positioned herself prominently by the pastor and me.

Suddenly, she screamed, lost her balance, and as she fell, she grabbed my hair, causing me to almost tumble down towards the riverbank with her. I didn’t fall in the water, but my scalp hurt the entire day and my dress got stained with dirt and grass. She destroyed my special moment.

The incident left me devastated. It was the talk of the rest of the ceremony. When she recovered her balance, my husband’s mother simply laughed it off and walked away, leaving me on the ground, struggling to hold back tears.

This event has severely strained our relationship; we cut contact with her. My husband supports this decision wholeheartedly.

I still cry whenever I think about my wedding day because it feels like she deliberately marred the celebration without any remorse.

The evidence from our wedding video shows it was intentional because her husband and the pastor were holding her arms. She deliberately stepped back and fell.

6. What’s the Baby’s Name?

My husband and I got married last weekend, and our wedding was a much-anticipated event for us. We’ve been together almost ten years with four children but couldn’t afford the wedding of my dreams. We also wanted something our girls could remember since we’d waited so long. Therefore, we worked very hard for it.

I was already nervous because I was terrified something horrible would go wrong, but the setup and ceremony went as planned, and the reception started on time.

About halfway through, my sister-in-law came to me and told me she had left something in my guest book. I didn’t think much about it and went on about my night until my aunts approached me, asking about my brother and sister-in-law’s baby name.

I was so confused until I realized that’s what she left in my guest book. They announced their baby’s name using our guest book and made it a game with the family.

The game was called “If you want to know the baby’s name, you’ll have to look for it.” I was upset but didn’t say anything because I knew it would cause a scene.

I found my husband and spent the rest of the night with him. The next day, I messaged my brother and SIL to tell them that they had hurt my feelings by doing that.

In return, my brother yelled at me, saying it was a gift. Meanwhile, my sister-in-law said it wasn’t like they grabbed a mic to announce it and that we could remove the baby’s name if it were such a big deal.

I tried to explain why I felt hurt, but I stopped once I realized they wouldn’t understand or care. They just got mad at me, and their messages made me feel like I was being crazy.

7. They Held a Secret Wedding behind My Back

My wedding day was shaping up to be legendary, right? Huge barn, and a massive guest list of 250, all orchestrated by my folks. But when D-Day arrives, it’s a total disaster—only like 30 people show up.

I’m standing there in my wedding gown, feeling more ghosted than an overused Snapchat account. But soon, I realized the most important people – my nuclear family, my bridesmaids, and my groom – weren’t there either.
