Second time around....can I out-do my first? Here goes trying....
What is the funniest/strangest thing you've ever seen at a wedding (your own or someone elses)?
Sorry-my mind refuses to leave this topic at the moment.
My answer: I was sitting next to the aisle as the grandparents were making their way down and I felt a sudden rush of air-I look over and there is great-grandpa in his boxers, right next to my face. Try holding that laugh in.
Torch goes to: MY GIRL RAJAH

Oh that is easy!! I went to a wedding once as a date. This girl said her family was a little country so I did not have to dress up. Just casual clothes. Well I decided it was a wedding so I put on just a button up shirt a tie and some dress pants and loafers. I was in complete and total shock!!! all of the grooms men had cut off blue jean shorts... the groom had on jeans a black t-shirt cowboy boots and i would assume his good hat. The bride had a nice sun dress on... and the brides maids had on a variety of dresses that could have been prom dresses. I about fell out... I know everyone does things a bit different but that was just strange to me lol.

Thinking..thinking...Ok. I was 2 when it happened, but I have seen the video more recently. It was my parents wedding. During the vows my mom starts laughing really hard and she stares at my soon-to-be dad and just laughs for a full 2 min and 45 seconds. It's really funny. The best part is the priest is staring at her, the groomsmen start looking at each other and the bridesmaids are all crying.

Hmmm...both of these things took place at the same wedding. My friend, Jen's, which I stood up in. First, one of her brother's friends decided that after many drinks, it was necessary to pull one of the tableclothes off a table & wear it as a toga. Then her brother (who is my neighbor) does this "act" to Mr. Roboto by Styx - it is SO funny. I always tell him that if I EVER get married that he has to do the same thing at my wedding. Ha! :)

My friend Chris got married last year and it was one of those weddings that nobody wanted to happen. You could cut the tension in the church with a knife. I sat with my friends Lindsay, Dru (BlueEyedSinner here), and Zeke. We were all joking about how we were going to stand up once the preacher asked if anybody objected to the wedding. We were all trying to keep a straight face through the march of the bride and all that hoopla. Well, the preacher skipped that part. We were all talking amongst ourselves trying to figure out why he didn't say it. But Dru decided that it had to be said and stood up right when Chris was about to say the big "I do". He said "Since the pastor doesn't realize what a mistake this is then I'm going to tell you. That woman is the devil and you're fucking up your life." The whole church stared and Dru sat down while saying "My bad, continue".
Was rather interesting.

OMG! That's hilarious...and horrible. Then what? Did they get divorced or did anyone second Dru?

We were invited to the wedding of a prison warden and a woman cop. The wedding was catered by the jail trustee cooks. I forget where it was held. I don't know how the cooks were furloughed, but I do remember the food was good. Other than that, a family wedding with a cowboy outlaw group,hired to whoop it up, kidnap the groom, and dress up the cowboy western theme at a desert resort. Trouble was, no one told the other resort guests, and when the shooting and hollering started, they came running out of thier hotel rooms.

I only have one such story--as I do not frequent weddings. It was a recent sister's wedding where--by my ingenious plotting--we(me and a few other groomsmen) assisted another groomsman in performing a "Flashdance" number at the reception. And, for the finale, we three guys threw cups of water at him as he fell back over the chair:) Not as strange as amusing...I just wish it had gone better.

In memory of the brides father who had passed away just two months before his daughter went down the aisle.At the reception umbrella hats had been secretly passed out. When 'rain drops keep falling on my head" began to play everyone put on their umbrella hats. It was meant to lighten the mood, he was a much beloved father,husband,uncle and cousin. Seeing the smile on his wife and daughters faces I will always remember.
Here's wishing you a wonderful wedding and more importantly a great marriage.

In one of my past part time jobs I worked at a hotel that did weddings and I was one of the servers.
Once, and I was out of the room when it began so can not say how it began, there was an all out food fight. I mean meat, vegtables, cake, it all being thown as if it was scene from Animal House

My aunt and I attended a VERY formal wedding for an executive in her firm. She was trying to make partner. Anyway, she was very nervous about networking with all the "bigwigs" that were invited. During this time, she was also suffering from "bladder control" problems. She kept dragging me into the bathroom with her. A group of handsome lawyers (including the district attorney) had asked us to dance, so I stayed on the dance floor for "pitstop" number sixteen, or so. She scurried off by herself to the bathroom so she could get back before the song was over. When she confidently bounced back out, there was this odd silence coupled with muffled giggling as she made her way to the floor to get her dance on. It wasn't until she turned around that I realized she had tucked the back of her dress INTO THE Top of her NYLONS....NUDE nylons btw, and we all know most ladies don't wear panties under said pantyhose. I could've DIED laughing. I've never seen anyone move as fast as she did to get that dress down. She was knocking people over to get out of that reception hall.

I don't attend weddings often.
An ex friend of mine was making such a big todo over her wedding. Having her mother pay for everything. She wanted it to be something of a fairy tale but the girl just didn't have any taste at all.
She had a MIL that was older and a hair dresser. She let the MIL do her hair and she did this roller and set hairdo and teased it all up like an old ladies. Yes she worked mostly on old ladies and it was the stupidest hair I've seen on someone getting married that was in her early 30s. She admitted she hated it but what was she to do after the MIL worked so hard on it.
Also her mother bough 5 bridesmaid gowns that didn't fit any of the bridesmaids! I was in the wedding. I was a size 5 at the time and they expected me to wear a size 12. They tried to have us pay for the things to be cut down. I wasn't doing that when I could have spent less money on a new dress! She talked her mother into paying and the things looked like complete shit! Those were some stupid dresses and her hairdo. I would have not wanted one single photo or video. She is now divorced.
The entire groomsmen decided to get hammered the night before the wedding. The groom himself did too. They drank until about 5 the next morning. Everyone was near puking and looked hungover. I just knew someone was going to fall over durning the longer service.
Also her mother didn't want any drinking. She didn't pay for anyone to drink or allow it there at the reception. There was a bar right across the street. Guess where everyone took off too? She only stayed behind because her mother had paid for the wedding. She herself wanted to drink. But pretending to be a good daughter she stayed there with me her mother her sister and one other girl. The older people were there but I just think the mother and MIL ruined the entire thing!!! It was retarted!

I was dating the brother of the groom, and it was to be a big irish wedding on St Pattys Day. The dresses were green...and the brides last name was Kelly and the grooms first name was Kelly. We all discovered the night of the rehersal that the bride had a high fever and her doctor told her to stay in bed so she would be able to attend her wedding, the following day.
Everyone was assembled at the church and they asked me to be the stand in for the bride. I walked down the asile with the Sues Father and did everything the bride was supposed to do. The jokes were flying. The best man was George Wendt, Norm, on Cheers, so you can imagine what a crazy group we were...another story...anyway we all went out for dinner and Kellys mother had put together a rather sentimental presentation meant to be given to her new daughter in law, Sue Kelly. She was passing along her son, Kellys, baby shoes in a very creative way....and since I was the stand in, I was also the sit in, so I sat in Sues seat that night next to the Kelly the groom and Norm, I mean George Wendt, the best man and recieved the baby shoes and was given a number of witty toast as the future stand in bride. I must say, it was a very lively evening filled with much laughter, although, we were all a bit sad Sue was unable to attend her own rehersal dinner, actually truth be told, noone witnessing the event, would ever have guessed anthing was amiss. (before sue was a Mrs) (sorry about that) I digress
lets just say it was a wild and crazy funfilled evening.
This is getting so long, I am going to have to post it on my blog!
We all knew she'd be as good as new the following day... Well, that was not the case...I received a call from the my BF (the brother of the groom) telling me they were all at the hospital. Sue's fever spiked during the night and was rushed to the ER and they still did not know what was wrong but they decided they would get married in the hospital room. All the gals in kelly green stood around Sues Kellys bed while she said I Do to Kelly. She was dressed in her wedding gown, but looked like death warmed over and her veil was a little crooked. Right after they said their vows, the family and bridal party were sent to the church to head all the people to the reception. They found out they could not get their money back so they decided they might as well hold the reception even though the bride would be unable to attend... and the rest is another story that will be on my blog cuz it wont let me go on any longer....

Funniest thing I saw was the groom and his grooms men stripping down to their Wiley Coyote boxer shorts for the speeches and the bridal walz. It was hilarious.
Later I found out they'd also had some of the official photo's taken that way too.

Just got back from holiday which took in a visit to urquart castle on the shores of loch Ness, Scotland... a traditional wedding was being held in the castle ruins complete with lone piper and white heather sprays. It was a bit winddy that day and the groom (bless him) spend more time holding down the hem of his kilt than anything else.... hehehe. An honour to be a blessed bystander at such a beautiful event.
