Are we google searching? Did yousay? Oh, if anybody listened to
our last episode, I'm google imagesearching one of the Mistletoe hide and Seek
bride photos reverse image searching to seebecause we loved that it looked like the
scary stories to tell me the darkYeah, before we dive into this episode,
(00:39):
Because as I was researching that oneand reading ghost stories and stuff,
I forget that people use the wordhorror as in like, oh no,
like the worst case scenario happened,and not like morbidly the word horror.
So I typed in horror wedding stories. It literally brought up. People are
sharing the absolute wildest things they've witnessedhappened at weddings, and these are so
(01:02):
dramatic they're like a movie from BuzzFeeddot com. There are like twenty two
things out this article. My God, the ship that happens at people's weddings.
I was like, this deserves anepisode of its own, just so
that we can talk through it andhopefully this helps people ease their potential fears
(01:23):
around their wedding and make them laughand be like, wow, if that
happened to someone else, maybe mywedding day wasn't as bad or won't be
as bad, or I'll know howto prevent this from happening, or it's
going to give people new fears thatare unlocked. And I apologize for that
in advance. Yeah might bee me, but it's okay, I don't know
what they are yet, So butyeah, earlier, it's we're recording on
(01:46):
the same day. But the episodeprevious to this one will be our first
kind of creepy wedding ghost story,which we had a lot of fun with.
So Cass has been deep diving onan image that was in one of
the articles I used for research,because it does very much look like scary
stories that you tell in the dark. It's stunning. It'll be my wallpaper.
It's I miss those books. ButI will tell you I was so
(02:09):
let down by the movie. Okay, so I wasn't. Yeah, it
wasn't that scary. But what Iloved and I want to buy the books.
I need to, not a want, it's a need. What I
loved was remembering the stories as akid. Well, and I will say
(02:30):
nostalgia behind them. It wasn't scary. Granted, I know I bought like
I own those books. When Ibought them in the nineties book faies I
used to I have no idea whathappened to them. They probably got lost
in a move somewhere. But Idid have like the three of them because
(02:51):
there were three volumes. I boughtit out a book fair and my friends
and I loved reading it. Oh, I loved and loved it and the
one that still to like. Myparents were watching the movie for the first
time the other day, and Iloved the himI Dotty Walker. When that
first came on that I saw itin theaters, I was like, I
(03:13):
feel like I'm reading the book asa kid right now. Well and that
and I will say the visuals weregood, Like they did a good job
with like the Scarecrow one and withthat one, like them visually looking like
these copy sketches, yeah, inthe in the books, but like I
was hoping for it to be morescary, like more robust, but it
was. They were definitely trying toappeal to kids. Ish it's kind of
(03:35):
like the revamp of the Goose BombsYe with Jack Black. But I did
wish it was scarier. I caughtmyself laughing way too many, like many
times in that yeah. Of course, when my parents were watching it,
they weren't laughing at the parts thatI was laughing at, So I might
just be demented weirdo. No,it's just like the Asian lady picking down
(04:00):
the hall slowly and then the himedotty walker doing the splits on the front
of the car. I lost itwhen he's doing those splits, I know,
right. I love that you laughedthen, and it's like a terrifying
moment for something. Now. Ifelt like the rest of the theater was
scared, and I'm like, guys, he's flexible. Yeah, I love
(04:24):
that. So good. Well,are you ready to dive into these wild
stories from a wedding days? Horrorstories? I love put in horror stories.
And this is what came up sonumber one and so what this BuzzFeed
article. They essentially like put itout to the BuzzFeed community, like,
submit some of your worst wedding stories. Whether you're a professional, it was
(04:44):
your wedding, et cetera. Sothis one is a starting off with a
wedding professional, so wedding photographer here. Easily the worst was when the father
of the groom, apparently entirely sober, gave eight ten minute toast that devolved
into openly complaining that his son gotto have sex with the bride and he
(05:04):
didn't. And this wasn't a mistimejoke about how pretty she was. This
was a full on like grant aboutgrowing old and how women didn't find him
attractive anymore, and that all hewanted was to take his daughter in law
to bed. I wish you couldsee at the face I probably I'm Oh,
(05:32):
my gosh, I mean instantly whatpopped in my head was Stepbrothers when
he's talking about she's had the oldbull nash, she wants a young calf
Or in a wedding crashers where themom Jane Seymour is like, commy,
kitty cat. I haven't seen thatmovie. I know it. All I
(05:57):
know is my inside shriveled up.First of all, that made nay,
never mind, I'm not going tofinish myself. That's totally fine. We
all know where your mind was going. Maybe not, I don't know.
We can speculate. All I willsay is, as the son of this
father, how the hell did younot take the mic from him and say
go sit your ass down, yourno being the the wedding professional. Why
(06:24):
did she not grab the mic?If I was a wedding planner, CACHE
would have ran and grab been likewe're shutting this down, right, no,
shut that down? Like, ohmy god. So anyways, that
was the first one. That's howwe're starting. Wow, okay, number
two not my story but my friends. And actually it was at her cousin's
(06:46):
wedding reception when the guests sat downat the tables, everyone had an envelope
on a plate with pictures of thebride in a compromising situation with I think
the best man the bride cheated onthe room both when they were dating and
when they were engaged, which hefound out shortly before their wedding. The
groom had no mercy, and Irespect that. I would have done the
(07:10):
saving. First of all, Idon't know if I would have gone through
with the wedding. Oh I wouldn'tkind of thing like I would have like
maybe like the dress rehearsal the nightbefore, yeah, but like the day
of at the reception, after you'vespent all that money, I would have
done a post to Instagram, Facebook, everywhere. Yeah, I mean,
(07:31):
but I mean I feel like youhear those stories a lot, which is
always sad, like the groom orthe bride is doing it with the best
man or the maid of honor orwhatever. And then I told a while
about about the groom breastfeeding on themother. That was a fun one,
all right. Number three is shortand sweet, but a little morbid.
(07:53):
Okay. After the ceremony, everyonegot up except one very old and frail
looking lady who it it transpired,had passed away during the nuptials. That
is she receiving that Oh my god, let's all make sure that grandma's doing
okay, And look at the Simpsonsmeme, oh my lord, she's dead.
(08:13):
He go help your grandma. Mom. Grandma's not getting out, could
we imagine? And then being likedo we just leave her there in party?
Or call? Like do like dowe kend up Bernie style? Put
some sunglasses on her, and likethere we go photograph with her. She
she was there. She was therein physical form and in spirit. Not
(08:37):
many people can say that, allright. Number four, it was a
same sex wedding. One of thegrooms was caught heavily, and I mean
heavily, making out and groping withhis ex boyfriend. He was caught by
his new mother in law, Thegroom was high on diet pills, opioids,
and a gallon or two of vodka. The guilty groom checked into rehab
(08:58):
two days later, and the cupbowl are still together a decade later.
Three things, okay, One,how is he not dead? Two?
Why was the X at the wedding? Three? Why was that mother mother
in law not throwing fists? Obviouslyhe had a problem a thousand percent and
(09:20):
he needed some help, needed Jesusneeded to see Jesus right then and there
on that much. And that's alot coming from you who does not believe
in No, no, no,no. Well, I guess he needed
to see Satan like I. Yeah, but why are we inviting x's to
weddings? Can we throw that outthere? Because we did an episode recently
(09:41):
on who to invite to the wedding? The first person you should not invite
as an X the first person onI do not invite list because one why
Two if you want to invite them, like I get, there's couples to
say we became friends. It's onething. If this is a second wedding
and you're inviting your X wife orhusband with your children, thereat do it
(10:05):
sometimes friends like same friend group likeI can kind of, but still are
there any underlying feelings there though?Like are there on the surface because it's
like maybe a moment you guys talkedabout and then came apart and now you're
with someone else, and then they'regonna be like, oh my god,
this should have been me up therewith you. Don't marry them and marry
me. This makes this is likegiving me so much anxiety thinking and just
(10:30):
I mean, I have the traumabehind mine, but I'm like, this
is disgusting. First of all,your X would never be at your wedding.
Oh no, ever, no,and no, and neither would Riley.
So you're fine, that's true.But my ex would have to rethink
life if he was to try,because I know every single one of my
(10:52):
family members after they found out,will be cocking a gun as he was
to walk up that person. Mydad does not care to go to jail
if he was to ever kill myex, So take himself out too.
If you know who you are andyou're somehow listening to this, you should
know, don't even come near us. Don't worry. He would never do
(11:16):
that. Well, my dad haseven talked about like Utah football games.
Yeah, it'll be fine. Yeah, So all right, this one will
make you a chuckle a little bit. My cousin was arrested at my wedding
reception. He decided to steal agolf cart at the country club where the
reception was held. When he gavethe security team a hard time, they
(11:37):
called the local police. I wasunaware of the situation until I saw them
putting him into the back of thecop car. I looked at my parents
and told them that I could speakwith the officers, considering I was in
full bridal dress. My father grittedhis teeth and said, you turn around,
smile, and go back to theguests who managed not to get arrested
at your wedding. My cousin's weddingwas the following year, and my mother
(11:58):
kept making vague threats about what shewould do. I wouldn't know. I
would let this person think about whatthey're They're going to stay in the back
of that cop cart and they willsee me in the corner. Slow kept
clapping. It's like way to go, dumbass, way to go. Oh.
I thought that was pretty funny,Like you're such an idiot. Like
(12:20):
you deserved have your ass locked upto slutely so have fun. So all
right? Number six. My motherremarried three years ago to a fire chief
of a major city. During thewedding ceremony, after the vows, and
right before my new stepfather was aboutto speak, one of my worst fears
as a parent happened. I hadjust quietly told my daughter of five at
(12:43):
the time, to sit in herchair correctly. She was sitting on her
knees in the chair, trying tosee amongst the crowd of tables. As
she was transitioning to sit on herbutt, she missed her hand placement on
the table, slipped and fell tothe floor, with the fork that she
was eating cake with lodging directly inthe back of her scalp. This caused
a huge commotion. She started screaming, and everyone at the wedding party came
(13:05):
rushing over to my daughter. Mostwere first responders, MS or police.
They all just started working immediately.The fork cut enough into her head that
she needed staples. We completely ruinedthe last half of my mother's wedding.
Rushing my daughter to the hospital extremelyawkward. I get that she's talking about
her worst nightmare, but it wasprobably the best wedding to have it at
(13:28):
oh one hundred percent, Like thatwas divine guidance if I've heard of it.
They were just like, you knowwhat, kids being kid But guess
what, everybody here got your backand you'll be fine. And it's so
different like being a first responder workingmedical. It's so weird that you could
be so emotional. But when thosetimes happen, it's weird watching your instincts
(13:48):
kick in. I've been there,it's weird. I can imagine. Yeah.
So but like when I read that, I'm like, huh do I
tell my kids this? But like, how many times do I tell you
to sit in a chair the wayyou're supposed to? If you don't sit
in a chair, this is what'sgoing to happen. Yep. My kids
like to stand on chairs and itdrives me bonkers. Oh gosh. And
(14:11):
we'll we eat at our counter andwe have like bar heights, you know,
chairs there, and so at thebottom of the chair legs there's the
little like wooden bars that go aroundit like a barstool. My kids love
to stand in between their chairs onthose and I'm like, would you just
put your ass on a chair.I almost caught my nephew. I somewhat
caught him in a way, buthe did fall off of our chairs like
(14:33):
that, as he was like movingbetween chair and chair, and of course
you can't tell a two year oldthat, And he like tried to catch
himself on the wood chair, hittinglike the back of his bicep, and
I tried to stick my leg underhim so he didn't crash under the tile
that hard. That's fun. Yeah, it gives me ye. So that
(14:54):
one spoke to my mom heart whereI'm like, God, damnit, kids,
if you just listen right, Soall right? Number seven my significant
other's parents witnessed this At an Irishwedding. The groom held a toast thanking
the best man for doing so muchfor him and anything he asked for,
and ended with but I don't rememberasking you to fuck my wife and walked
(15:16):
out. Turns out that was trueas well. Excuse me, And I'm
just like, how about how muchdoes this happen like bride's sleeping with the
groom's best friend and vice versa.Jesus, my god, it gives me
(15:37):
so like, I mean one,are you like yep? I don't even
know, Like I'm just trying toprocess how that happens, right, and
also in my opinion being an adultand say, I thought I had feelings
(16:00):
for you, but like your bestfriend, damn, I'm way into and
uh, I'm I'm gonna go dothat, so bye, I don't know
all right. Number eight. Atthe who objects part, the mothers of
both yelled at each other about theirkids deserve better. They still went on
with the wedding. Their first dancewas with their two dogs and not each
(16:22):
other. They separated three months later. Oh key, that's awkward. That's
what i'd be like, where's thepopcorn? Guys? You want to get
out of here? Yeah? Canwe leave? Number nine. The groom
ran full sprint around the wedding receptionhall, double fisting bottles of beer.
(16:45):
He slipped on the ground and dislocatedboth of his hips. His father popped
them both back in while the groomscreamed through tears while still clutching the beers.
Oh my god, Nope, youcan handle looking at gross, awful
stuff and you can't handle a dislocation. Yeah, no, I can't.
I can't do that's your threshold.Oh yeah, you can't do them and
(17:07):
even popping them back in not thanks, really, yep, you poor thing.
I even remember when I was youngerat girls Camp one, I had
my ankle surgery. I couldn't goon the hike, so I stayed back
and I fell asleep to the CelineDion tour movie like her, yeah,
(17:29):
documentary kind of thing, and duringit, she had a broken nose,
a dislocated nose, and they hadto pop it back in and I was
just struggling. That hurts me,all right. Number ten. I used
to work as a banquet server ata very expensive banquet center one hundred K.
Weddings were the norm. One weddingI was working, stepmom of the
(17:52):
groom called the bride a slut.So mother of the bride punched step mom
of the groom in the face.Stepbrother of the groom tried to get in
on the act, and we endedup having to kick out stepmom and stepbrother
and make sure they didn't sneak backinto the reception for the rest of the
night. Some other relatives of thestepmom and stepbrother ended up leaving too,
but the rest of the wedding receptionpartied on without any future drama thankfully.
(18:12):
Wow. Also, you're the stepmom, like learn your place, Like you're
worse than an in law. Jesusplace. I mean, there are stepparents
that raise those kids and like theyare the parent. But in the way
(18:33):
this was written, I'm just like, is this like a new stepmom that
was jealous? Was she attracted toher stepson in some weird way? That
sounds again like wedding crushers? Likehey, but you know what I mean,
Like why obviously? I mean theydidn't say that the relationship ended,
so they must have lived happily everafter. Yeah, moving to another state.
(18:56):
I was gonna say Christmas dinners wouldbe awkward. They probably don't come
back for Christmas dinners, I'm sure. Number eleven. When our son got
married, we had a very nicecatered dinner at a local facility. The
caterer was not affiliated with the facility. People started dropping from food poisoning.
The state Department of Health got involvedafter someone called them and took all the
leftovers from us. We never didfind out exactly what the source was.
(19:19):
What the source was, I alwaysfelt it was something in the facility's kitchen.
It was possibly the dirtiest place i'veever seen. The food, though,
was delicious, even though probably fortyto fifty percent of the guests got
sick and look at pictures from bridesmaids. Don't look at me. Oh my
god, you got food? Nomegon No, you're shipping in the street.
(19:44):
I love it. So that isa good reminder. Be sure that
whatever venue you have the wedding at, you get to look at the kitchen
if it has one, to makesure it doesn't look nasty like Worst Night
Mary's thinking all of the bathrooms callsare taken you and a lot of people
have. My sister in laws thesame way. If she does not know
(20:07):
where the bathrooms are at all timesand she's not sitting in the end seat
to be able to get up anduse the bathroom, sheutanics. So but
yeah, it's just a good reminder. Check the kitchen at the event space
as well as no your caterer exactly. There are some make just make sure
you read the reviews. Make sureyou see where the catering place does things.
(20:29):
There's a hole in the wall placethat is near us that it's like,
oh that doesn't give me warm fuzziesfor catering. But you know it's
true to be time. Sometimes holein the walls have the best food,
or other times they're gonna give youexplosive diarrhea, which nobody wants. Or
we could talk about another known Utahrestaurant that had like poop in their refred
(20:51):
beans. I forgot about it.That was fun. What a wild time.
You know that restaurant? Right?Still good? Yeah, I mean
they're still around. A lot ofthose locations shut down. Their sister restaurants
(21:11):
are still gone, are they?Yeah, But I don't know about the
ogs. I think the West Valleyone's still up and running. Oh that's
right. Yeah, so all right. Number twelve, my mother, in
the middle of the reception proceeded totell people I married the wrong person and
named who I should have married,and yes they were a guest. Oh
(21:34):
that's fun. I love that foryou. Number thirteen. During the wedding
reception, one of the bridesmaids,the groom's sister, got into a physical
altercation with a female guest at thewedding over a man that they were both
interested in. I was the maidof honor. I was locked in a
stall in the bathroom where the altercationwas happening. There was screaming and hair
(21:56):
pulling that eventually got the attention ofthe other guests, who all piled into
the bathroom and broke up the fight. Then the police came. No one
was arrested, but it was thewildest thing I've ever experienced at a wedding.
Who was pete myself? I'm justpicturing myself in this stall on your
phone, I'm start I may notget the altercation, but I'm getting you
(22:19):
have your camera up to like thecrack in the stall, or you would
be the one that's like, hey, who wants to put money down on
this one? Who Sarah kicking Whitney'sass? Uh? Number fifteen. The
bride's older brother gave a speech wherehe talked about how he changed her diaper
(22:41):
when she was a baby. Hethen told the groom that because of this
he the brother saw her first.It was super gross and no he didn't
apparently he did. I'm no welcometo being a registered sex offender. Dipshit,
No, who jokes about that?The first is disgusting. As you
(23:06):
were going, I was like,nothing bad about changing a diaper. I
was like, okay, I sawher first. It was a hard left
turn layer. Gross. There wasn'teven a fork in the road. It
was a massive yeah, hit bya train. Jesus, Yeah, that
was fun. Huh all right?Number sixteen. I was a photographer at
a gorgeous, high dollar wedding.Bride and groom were both young and extremely
(23:30):
attractive. But during the reception,the groom got increasingly drunk, and at
one point he and his best menwere absolutely grinding on the dance floor.
It's three through three, it sureis, anyways, so they were grinding
on the dance floor, their facesbarely an inch apart, looking like they
were about to kiss, and noteven trying to hide it. I happened
(23:52):
to be talking to the bride whenshe spotted it in just gigglety gosh,
those two were so silly together.Less than two months later, she called
to say she no longer needed analbum and wondering if I'd give her a
partial refund. Turns out she caughtthe groom in the best men having sex
in their bed. Not so silly, after all. If you were in
love, whoever you're in love with, just be in love with that person
(24:15):
and don't marry someone else to hideyour true form. That breaks my heart.
I was about to say, thisperson's probably from Utah. Glad.
Yeah, gotta love the scared,closeted gaze that families force upon. Oh,
(24:36):
it just makes me so sad.But like I feel so bad for
that bride, you know what Imean. I just it's gotta feel terrible.
No, I could not. Yeah, so, I mean at least
it was early on that they endedthings and it didn't like go on for
years. Yeah, but she stillhas to go through a divorce paying all
that money and it's only two months. It's an annulment. If it's less
(24:59):
than a year, you just getit ann old like it never happened.
Did she say it was two months? Yeah, it was two months later
that she wished out of the Potots. To the time period of an annulment,
Uh, it just has to beunder a year of now okay.
So yeah, I'm my youngest brother. His was an annulment because it was
under a year. Okay. Soit literally doesn't even like show on public
(25:21):
records. Essentially, you just likewipe the sleek clean. She read the
paper, and you're said so.Number seventeen, one of the groomsmen was
dancing with the maid of honor,and they did a dip maneuver. The
problem with this being that the maidof honor's dress was strapless and her boobs
had recently swelled up because she's pregnant, so that maneuver made them pop right
(25:41):
out of the top of her dressin front of the whole dance floor.
She must have been wearing a beiza, must have been just some sort of
strapless dress that gave her a zerosupport, zero support and it. Oh
gosh, I've understand her pain,do you. I'm scared shitless that my
(26:02):
boobs are going to pop out allthe time. Yeah, I got him.
So I thought that TikTok I wasrecording the other day. I thought
they were coming out, I know, but it turned out fine, at
least they from my perspective. Yeah, from your perspective, I'm over here
pooping my pants. So on thatnote, I'm just kidding. Yes,
stop. A number eighteen priest wasasking the groom if his new bride and
(26:26):
his mother, who was seated inthe first row, were both drowning in
a river and he could only saveone. Who would he say? And
he The priest refused to proceed withthe ceremony until a choice was made.
If anybody is ever having me officiatetheir wedding, I'm gonna ask. I
(26:52):
can't continue on until there's an answer, does it? See what the answer
was? No, dang it,there wasn't. But why do we care?
And why would you put your newbride against your mother? I'm listening
priorities. That gotta set it straight. Either way, that man is digging
(27:14):
his own grave, whether his mom'sdigging it or the new wife is digging.
Yeah. I like that one.That was a good one. Okay,
number nineteen my aunt's wedding. Oneof her bridesmaids was a former party
girl who couldn't stop herself from havinga good time when an opportunity came up,
which meant not keeping an eye onher child. In general. She
(27:37):
let this kid do anything. Hewas about nine and like the epitone of
a spoiled only child, Mommy's boy. He even had a tantrum in the
middle of the ceremony because she wasn'tpaying attention to him. But that's not
where it went bad. During thereception, he ran around shoveling in food
and somehow got his hands on beer. Everyone was having so was having fun,
(28:00):
so no one noticed until he threwup on the dance floor like fully
projectile vomited. My uncle was quickand shielded my aunt from splashback. I
was around eight at the time,and I couldn't believe his behavior, let
alone his mom's behavior for letting himrun wild. That's the wedding that made
me decide that if, if,and when I get married, it will
be a child free wedding. Firstof all, my child was talking during
(28:30):
a ceremony, saying, Mom,why aren't you paying attention to me?
I'll be like, How'm I goput your ass in the car and you
can just shut up right now becauseye wrong place, wrong time. Let
alone. If you throw a tantrum, I'm taking your ass outside and it's
getting bright red. Yeah, likejust no. Yeah. And second,
parents, I want to spink.I want to turn your ass right red
(28:55):
because you need to be a parentor get a babysitter. Yeah, if
you want to be a party girl, no, don't bring my kid.
It just like that broke my heartbecause I'm like that poor kid, like
he's probably not getting any positive attention, like from the sounds of it,
which is just heartbreaking. But like, also I did chuckle a little bit
(29:17):
like this kid drink a whole aspiritand I'm like, kid, you got
a good palette if you can handlea whole aspear. So when so when
my Serbian grandfather, my data passedaway, I was seventeen, So seventeen
years ago, which is crazy anyways, So when in the Serbian culture,
(29:40):
I think I've talked about we've talkedabout sleeve of its before the home,
like the plum brandy. Yeah.So we're taking shots of this grape side
straight out of like a wooden flaskthat's got like the Saint I don't know
if it's the Saint George icon fromlike the church we go to, or
if it was Christ or whomever,but it's got like the church icon carved
(30:02):
in wood. Did at investna sneakthis in. No one's sneaking in or
snuck it in. It's California.They're all just taking shots at the grave
side because we watched the casket getlowered into the ground, like we were
there as they were lowering up,putting dirt on all the things. Grave
side. Yeah, grave side,I heard grape side. Oh I didn't
mean, I must have stuttered,Yeah, graves side, but also the
(30:23):
church all doesn't care. That stuffwas a flull in the whole time.
But anyways, so we're standing thereand my dad and Kim had been married
a very short time, like theygot married September twenty second, and like
three and a half weeks later,my grandfather was gone, oh wow,
like it was really really quick.So Kim only met my grandfather once,
(30:45):
maybe twice. Oh gotcha, I'mso Anyway, so when we went to
the funeral, she brought the shebrought her kids. She brought in a
vaud In Sierra, So like thingswere already like weird because like it's a
new family dynamic and now we're heredoing this. Sierra was I don't know,
(31:06):
ten eleven maybe, So here weare a grave side with this wooden
flask and everyone's passing it around takingdrinks. And then they also had like
the little cups like what you seein church that they pass around, you
know, like for communion and sacramentand everything. So they had these little
(31:26):
cups that they were filling up too, so if people didn't want to drink
drink straight from it, they couldhave a little jot. Siarah thought it
was water because she was used tolds sacrament cups that are water. She
downed that like a champ and thenstarted screaming it burns. And I felt
(31:47):
so bad and I was like,sweetie, that's alcohol, and she's like,
I thought it was water. Nope, that was That was the first
time in my life though I wasdrunk. Was at my grandfather's funeral.
I was sted on shlivo love.That did not feel great the next day,
but I had a lot of funrunning around the church hall with my
cousins. Okay, so I meanthat's one way to party. So like,
(32:09):
as I read that, I justwas like resonating with this child.
But I'm like everyone was drunk atthat funeral and didn't pay attention. There
you go, even Sierra, PoorSierra, to this day, she's just
like, I am not drinking thatship. I'm touching that it cured her
when she was younger, cured herof cancer. That's how strong that shit
is. I think the opposite.I think it gets cancer if it eats
(32:31):
laminate. We'll look about that.She's doing great, all right. Number
twenty, I was at a or. I was a wedding DJ for many
years. The two wildest things I'veever seen are one. The parents of
the bride were divorced, and thefather was at the wedding with his significantly
younger girlfriend. It was obvious thatno one there really approved of her.
(32:53):
During the reception, people were givingtoast to the new couple. The father
then begins to give his toast,at which time he gets on one knee
and proposes to his girlfriend in frontof everyone with Mike in hand, at
his daughter's wedding. All of thiswas to the shock and awe of all
attendees. It was dead quiet inthe room except for the ecstatic new fiance.
(33:16):
No. I think that we've talkedabout this in the past. Nobody's
taking the attention away from me.And I hate when people do the here's
gonna be a kay and they turnaround in their fiance's damn and the knee
proposing. No, it's my wedding. I would have gotten up and both
feet flying through the air at myfather. Nah. But also I would
be totally embarrassed to be proposed toat someone else's wedding, like I would
(33:39):
be uncomfortable. Yeah, I couldn't. Yeah No. And then number two
to his thing was I was ata wedding where the bride was eight and
a half months pregnant. She waseighteen when the bride was eight. Excuse
me, continue half of what's pregnant? Give me a heart at about ship
(34:05):
myself? Like child? Excuse me? No, she was eight and a
half months pregnant. She was eighteen, and they waited to get married until
she graduated high school. The bestman at the wedding was roommates with the
groom, and during his toast,he decided to give a long and drawn
out toast about quizing the groom tosee if she's the one. The punchline
to this whole story was that thebest man jokes that he slept with the
(34:29):
bride to test her out. Deadsilence in the room, and no one
found it funny. I just wantto know was it true? I just
want to know, is that yourkid? What do I mean my kid?
No? Oh? The best manand like, should we take a
paternity test if I was, IfI was the groom, I would If
(34:52):
this dude's joking, just call itmaripovit. She'll let you know if you
are the father or not. OrBridget Jones diary or whatever. Yeah,
it wasn't like one of the newerones about a baby and they're trying.
Yeah, the last one it washer, yeah, pregnant and yeah,
all right. Number twenty one,my good friend and co worker invited me
(35:14):
as his plus one to his identicaltwin cousin's wedding twins as in, both
were getting married at the same time, same venue. A bit confused,
I asked him why they decided toget married on the same day, and
with a smirk, let's see,with a smirk, he said, oh,
that's not the weirdest part. Mycousins are getting married to identical twins
as well. In complete disbelief,he showed me a picture of the four
(35:37):
of them on holiday somewhere. Dayof the wedding. Huge wedding, by
the way, two hundred plus people. I watched two identical grooms and two
identical brides walked down the aisle fortheir combined ceremony. To this day,
I've never seen anything like it.Mind blown. I feel like I've seen
a bunch of stuff like that.That's not that weird. Yeah, but
(35:57):
you know what I know. Ihad read an article somewhere about that,
like identical twins married identical twins,and the kids that they produce are not
only like they're cousins, but they'reactually technically siblings based on DNA. Right.
But I mean it's not like theincestual way now. But I yeah,
(36:20):
I've seen a bunch of stuff likethat. To me, I'm not
that shocked by that one. Yeah, but I mean it's still one of
those things you're like, damn,that's weird, all right. And then
let's see, Oh, there's morethan twenty two. For some reason,
I thought there was twenty two.How many do we have? Oh,
let's see, it was twenty four. Well, not that anymore, all
(36:43):
right, Number twenty two. Myhusband's cousin's wedding was the most awkward wedding
I have ever been to. Thereception had a super weird lightsaber battle between
the groomsmen and bridesmaids. It wassuper uncomfortable to watch. Plus it was
a dry wedding because the bride andher family are crazy religious, so everyone
was out on the parking lot drinkingbeer courtesy of the groom's dad. Not
(37:06):
imagine this at a wedding. It'sober annikin, Oh, I have the
high ground. You underestimate my power. But you were the chosen ones.
My bridal parties were LARPing at mywedding. Nah, my brother, my
brother Alex would have thrived having hereally wanted to be Han solo and have
(37:31):
Nick dress up as Chewbacca to marrythem. And Kirsen's like, I swear
to God, you do this tome at my wedding and your life is
over. Yeah. No, Iwould say, no, I don't take
them to marry me. Now,I don't take me. You can have
them be like you know what,you can go enjoy yourself and I'm going
to go on this time. Doesanybody object? Yeah? Me as the
(37:52):
bride, I do, Yeah,I do. I love that, Okay,
all right? Number two twenty threeMy relative had a cow themed wedding.
Had a chicken restaurant. Oh hellyeah, is this Chick fil a?
Raising canes? What we got?The bridesmaids dressed in black, bride
(38:13):
and white. Not bad, butthe giant tiered cake had dozens of ceramic
cows all over it. Two guestsdressed up as a cow, one with
the head and one with the backand danced for the bride and groom.
But the worst part. A groomsmangot really drunk before the reception and ended
up vomiting all over the head ofthe head table, so the wait staff
had to get the entire table cleanedand reset quickly. That groomsmen laid on
(38:37):
the restroom floor the rest of thereception. The good news the bride and
groom are still happily married over thirtyyears later. They are a really great
couple. I don't know what they'retalking about, but this sounds like a
par tea and a half. Ijust love that it was a cow themed
wedding at a chicken restaurant. Iwould have snuck one in ceramics in my
purse, so I was like,as a Chick fil A. They had
(38:58):
a sign on it said eat moreChicken. Is that there's not like a
wedding at chick fili here in Utah? Somebody's probably done it all right.
The last one number twenty four andfinally, really nice wedding in Palos Verdes,
California. Private home just across thestreet from the ocean. Probably several
million dollars for the house. Groomgot drunk at the reception, tore his
(39:22):
shirt off and started scooping handfuls ofcake and throwing them at the guests.
Me and the videographer got shots ofit from a covered location. Not sure
how long that marriage was going tolast. No, no, See what
you're saying is is we can't havea food fight at your wedding. I
mean, if you guys want tocover the venue the food and make sure
(39:45):
I'm not in that room, sure, how about it. I love that.
And I had gone to a weddingonce that was at like a country
farm and like the scenery was pretty, like it was outside near a lake,
like stunning, and like the bridewas in a very rustic country esque
(40:05):
dress with her cowgirl boots and samewith like her entourage. The groom came
out in a zoot suit with fakeTommy guns and Fedora's yo. Who invited
Bonnie and Clyde. It was justSean and I were early dating too.
(40:27):
Oh and it was one of thefirst weddings I took him too with me
and we're He was just like,did I miss something with the theme?
I was like, I don't know. It was such a fun wedding though,
Like they had such a blast,partied hard, but like the bride
had her vision and stuck to it. The groom had his, and he
stuck to it, and they blendedtogether. And I was just like,
(40:52):
I'm not Adhd, but my Adhdis like these two things do not go
together. One of these things isnot like the other. So that was
probably the wildest. I haven't beento many weddings, oh really, Yeah.
I had gone to another one wherea friend had got married in the
temple and her dad couldn't be there, and so they did the whole like
(41:15):
ring ceremony so he could walk herdown the island stuff. But he was
so heartbroken, like so heartbroken thathe couldn't be in the temple with her,
like for her wedding and like giveher away and all of that,
even though she was giving that portionto him later. So anyways, he
proceeded to get so dryed, Ohmy god. He had a flask in
(41:35):
his coat that he was hiding likedrinking. And then by the end of
the night it was no longer hidinglike it was free flowing, and he
was just like, gosh, youwant some. And I was like,
Dad, we need to get chillingdown somewhere. We had a little too
much to drink at a wedding thatis dry and it is obvious that you
are intoxicated. I mean that backwhen my sister is getting married in the
(41:57):
temple, her biological dad and mydad who's her stepdad, all of it,
Like all of the adults were like, why are we standing outside in
December when we could go be drinkingacross the street. Yeah, I'd just
be like call us when you're done. Yeah. Yeah. It was just
so yeah. I mean, I'veseen some funny, wild things, but
like Alisa hasn't been any of theextreme of like awkwardly a dad being like
(42:22):
I want to sleep with my newdaughter in law, or a brother being
like I saw her first. Whyare these conversations being had? Ever?
Should never be coming out of anybody'smouth. And maybe we see if Maddie's
got a fun story. See ifshe could come on the podcast and tell
you guys about the time where themother of the bride was angry at the
(42:45):
bride and tried to wear her weddingdress to her daughter's wedding. Oh yeah,
I forgot when she worked that wedding. Yeah, and she had to
like m divert them and convince herto not wear her wedding dress from when
she used to be married to thebride's father. Yeah, like that is
(43:07):
just awkward. Right, So,in case you've had any fears about like
worst case scenario, listen, littlethings always fall apart on the wedding day.
I'm gonna be honest. Something willalways go wrong. Don't tell me
that it does. I'm trying atmy engagements. Listen, unless you have
(43:30):
a cache there to help assist,she will make make sure things. We'll
find a way to get cache there. Don't worry. I will find a
way to help you get that tohappen. But or just a designated person
that helps make sure that you stickto think my mother thinks it's going to
be her. No, it shouldnot be your mother. She should be
even flat out told her you needto enjoy it. We'd have like Tasha
(43:51):
and she's like, no, it'sit's what I like to do. I'm
like, oh my gosh, whatever. Yeah, but I always tell people
like something will go wrong and maybesomething tiny. We're like, oh crap,
someone forgot a bootineer or no,you know, little things will happen.
No, but this level is notnormal. So if your brain goes
(44:14):
to worst case scenario. I cantell you that this is a very rare
thing. You know, your familydynamic, and I guarantee these people knew
that they had creepy family members.And why they were invited in the first
place, I don't know, orthey learned something new that day, or
you know they did, or youknow. Also, if you have any
concerns that the person you are marryingis sleeping with your best friend, maybe
(44:37):
have that conversation pre wedding day.Yeah. Yeah, but like that's like
the horror story that you're like,I've heard that a million times, but
I also wonder, like how manytimes it actually happens. Yeah, So
if you are planning a wedding andyou're thinking worst case scenario, just listen
to this episode again because just no, there are worse stories out there,
(44:59):
and the blue what's in your headis very minute, even though you may
not think it. It's okay,I'm right there with you. Cried over
not bringing white shirts to my engagements. You got any full blown melt down,
it was in a bit like atex hit. It's fine, it's
fine. And the photos hearn outcrazy. The photos look amazing, So
good job Brian for doing an amazingjob. Yeah, we should have her
(45:21):
on the we shaid we should haveher on. But yeah, if you
guys have any fun stories of likecrazy weddings you've been to or if it
was your own, you know,send that in our email to everybody pod
at vadeff bridle dot com. Welove hearing it. Yeah, go ahead
and try to shock me. It'shard to get me shocked. And I'd

you were like what there were acouple that I was like, excuse me.
(45:45):
It's fun, isn't it. Forweddings are a wild time. Yeah,
when I don't think they're meant tobe related go hand in hand.
But it's fine, it's fine.The crazies will come out around the wedding,
so just prepare for it and don'thave a dry wedding. Well,
(46:07):
even if it's a cash bar,I will spend the money or don't judge
me. If I got a flask, I wouldn't judge you. I know,
I'd be like Tash, listen,I'll buy you a bottle of wine
from the Yeah. Wow, mybrain shut down. Where are you buying?
(46:29):
Where buying you a bottle of winefrom camp. Okay, there we
go. I'll get you too,because it's not text day. I'm sorry
I couldn't afford the bar. Hereyou go, you can bring these.
There's also a bar on in CampWilliams. You know, I'm saying like,

just bring secretly bring these in.I don't now, we'll have fun.
Yeah, So all right, WellI will link the BuzzFeed article in the
show notes. It was pretty prettywild to go down and read these.
Like I said, I was lookingup ghost stories and it popped up because
