Have you ever seen a bride and groom get into a fight at their wedding or reception?

A wedding day brings with it much stress, nervousness, high expectations, family dynamics, and expense. And alcohol. All of these are ingredients for the first fight as man and wife. Did you witness it? If so, what was the fight about?


Yes, my cousin and her new hubby fought at their reception cuz he

got drunk and was having the photographer take a bunch of pictures

of him and all his drunk football-buddy groomsmen, so my cousin told

him to cut it out, they couldn't afford all these extra shots, and the

groom leaned in like he was going to kiss her, but he BIT her! So

her brother jumped in to defend her, and her dad came over, and the

groom pushed the dad, who is about 150 lbs. overweight and has had

2 heart attacks, backwards over one of the food tables! So then it

turned into a drunken brawl, someone called the cops, the cops busted

it up and arrested the groom, groomsmen, and the bride's brother,

who all spent the night in jail. My cousin, who I never liked anyway

because she has been a spoiled brat all her life, spent the night at

home crying and saying she wanted an annulment. They stayed

married for about 2 years, he cheated with a girl he was in law

school with (meanwhile, my cousin was working to put his butt through

law school...) and then they got divorced.

I haven't witnessed it, but I worked at the Marriott, and we would have a lot of wedding receptions there. One night I was working, and this incredibly trashy wedding party kept sneaking into the restaraunt bar and buying drinks, and then going back to the reception-- where they had their own open bar. We later learned that the groomsmen had been cut off in the reception because they were acting obnoxious, but no one let the bartenders in the restaraunt know. Anyway, long story short, the drunk bride got upset that the groom was trashed, and hauled off and punched him. He pushed her, and then these drunks broke a table and some glasses. Before you knew it, the cops were called, and they were taken to jail for the evening, and banned from staying at a Marriott.

Another time I was at a bar in downtown Detroit and we heard some screaming coming from outside, so we rushed out to see what was going on, and two young bridesmaids were rolling around in a parking lot, fighting with each other because one had danced with the other one's man. Apparently they were both underage, and at a wedding down the street. When the cops came, they just stood and laughed (at this point one of the tops of the dresses had been ripped off) until both girls collapsed onto the grass. Then they were taken to jail. Crazy.

Thank God my wedding was calm, but there are some crazy people out there! :)

I have a relative who, at their wedding...people had too much to drink. A fight broke out, women getting knocked down, it was an all out brawl...cops were called, people went to jail...it was terrible. But the bride and groom managed to get through it. There are still some hard feelings 13 yrs later though...but they all get along. The couple limited the amount of alcohol to try to prevent this, but once their booze ran out, some relatives went on liquor runs and brought back a LOT more, unfortunate that they didn't consider the couple more.

No, I've never witnessed that.

P.S. The bride in Beachgirl's study above should have gotten an annulment and never looked back. First instance of physical abuse, she should have been out of there.

i wasnt at the wedding personally but a few months ago there was an article in the local press about a bride who was arrested for assaulting the groom she spent her first night as a mrs locked up in the cells

My cousin's husband smooshed the bite of cake in her face. She was furious and took the whole piece of cake - plate and all and got his face. It was actually very funny.

no , never ,Hmmm, Interesting

no, but that would be a lot more entertaining than a wedding!!!

no, not yet anyways

ya but they had a little too much to drink lol

nope

no...but that would be so funny...and awkward. oh i'd love to see that.
