“My now mother-in-law insisted on helping with the wedding planning. While i was trying on wedding dresses, she offered her extremely critical comments. When she saw a dress she hated more than she hated me, she screamed like a banshee, called me a slut, and threw her drink at me. i even had to pay $1000 for the stained dress!!!!” – Madeleine
“I was 18 and slim — tiny compared to my sister who also was the maid of honor at the time………….I was a bridesmaid and I was right in the the direct line of sight to get the bouqet and almost had it when, in my green taffeta dress, I was sent flying because my big butted sister threw that thing against me so she could get the bouquet…hmmm and of course there was no “I am sorry.” Only a face of great pride as I looked up from my resting place on the ground.” – Terrie
“My stepfather (bless his heart) stepped on my veil while walking down the aisle, and ripped it out of my hair! My mother was furious!” – Amanda
“It was a fall wedding and it was snowing, and I slipped in my dress. Funny… but I got up and fell again.” – Linda
“My mother refused to agree with me on anything. If I said one flower vase in the church she ordered two. The worst part was that I was still in school full time and applying for grad school at the same time. I didn’t have time to go back an double check everything just to see if my mother had changed things without my knowledge. Needless to say there were a few surprises when it came to the day of the wedding. My flowers were completely the wrong color than what I had told the florist, they must have thought mom was paying so they listened to her, even though I had to pay for everything! The florist also did such a bad job with the bouquets that they were falling apart before pictures were even over, which was also before the ceremony…” – Christina
“My soon to be brother-in-law (my fiance’s brother) brought his new girlfriend to our Colorado wedding and boy did she make an impact. For a woman who was in and out of our lives so quickly she certainly burned herself into our memories!
My bridal shower was the day before my wedding and as I am getting ready I realize my blow dryer is missing, apparently this woman needed to borrow it for her Annie Lennox haircut (seriously her hair was 1/2″ long!!) and sent the bro-in-law to retrieve it from my house so she would look nice for the shower. So I air dryed my waist long hair while she had my dryer, made the best of it and went along to my shower, which she then NEVER showed up for.
Oh well, on to the rehearsal dinner, which when we sat down to eat she declared she did not eat lamb and sat with her boyfriend separately from the table (awkward) as she spoke loudly about the shame of eating the meal the rest of the party was enjoying! Well lucky for us she DID show up for the wedding, just long enough to take her spot smack in the middle of the family pictures; my new brother in law INSISTED she be included even though they had only been dating for a few weeks!! After the pictures they abruptly left the wedding to return to Michigan and we were left with the job of photoshopping that wonderful lady out of the pictures, as 2 weeks after our wedding they broke up (what a surprise)!!! Though I only knew this woman briefly (4 days max) she has left a permanent imprint on my memories of my wedding, and as funny as it all is now I hope I never meet her again!” – Katie
