Attending a wedding is, for the majority of us, always a pleasant experience.

Though the speeches may go on for that little bit too long and the hotel might cost more than you’d like, being a wedding guest tends to be pretty drama-free… or so we thought!

We’ve scoured the depths of Mumsnet (where some pretty angry users have been discussing the worst weddings they’ve ever been to) all in the name of sharing some lol-worthy wedding horror stories with you.

From physical fights to a not-so-well-behaved bride, these terrible tales will definitely shock you!

Disclaimer: while all these wedding horror stories are totally true, they’re very unlikely to happen to you… so take a deep breath and don’t be too alarmed.

The “Everything Went Wrong” Wedding

If the bride at this wedding managed to keep her cool, we’d be VERY impressed.

This day seems like a real life ‘series of unfortunate events’, with the worst being the unexpected guest appearance of the groom’s girlfriend – surely that was seriously awkward.

A Very Wet Ceremony

This wedding guest had a very soggy experience at her friend’s big day, and spent the second half of the ceremony being showered with the UK’s finest rain. Not a good look!

The One With the Awkward Speeches

Uncomfortable speeches usually come from a slightly cheeky best man (no offence) but in this case, the interesting performance came from the father of the bride who made some pretty harsh comments about his daughter.

Dirty Dancing

Now this is just NOT okay. We’d be turning into a serious bridezilla if this was at our wedding!

You May Now Kiss… Your Relative

Wait… what? Erm… each to their own?

The Wedding Brawl

We’re all for a bit of wedding excitement but this seems to be taking things a little too far. We just feel sorry for the venue staff who had to deal with the aftermath!

The Happy World of Haribo

Not so much a wedding horror story but more like a dream come true… for us, anyway.

Although, we’re not sure how filling sour rings and cola bottles are in all honesty.

Lover’s Tiff

What’s supposed to be the happiest day of your life doesn’t tend to include use of the F-bomb and the couple being separated, which is exactly what happened at the wedding this Mumsnet user attended.

Doves Gone Wrong

Having animals at your wedding can be a really unique addition and doves are a popular choice among many couples – just be sure to NOT do it like this…

The Most Awkward Wedding EVER

If there was ever a moment that you’d want to curl up into a little ball and disappear, it would be the moment this groom started his wedding speech! AWKWARD!

Star Wars Wedding

We love the uniqueness of this couple. As strange as their choice of attire was, we really wish we bagged an invite to this wedding.

Food Drama

We’re not quite sure if this is the best thing we’ve ever read or the biggest over reaction in the history of the universe but either way – we think it’s pretty funny.

Manual Labour

We’re all for friends and family helping out at a wedding but this one really takes the biscuit – we’re surprised they didn’t have their guests mopping the floors too!

Destination: Disaster

This wedding horror story really has the gross-factor, if you’re scared of rats, look away now.

Sorry What?

As far as shocking wedding stories go, this one is definitely up there with the most ‘omg, what?’ reaction…

We hope you haven’t put you off weddings too much… Check out the nine things you should never do at a wedding and share it with your guests to avert any potential disasters on your own big day!
