“At my brother’s wedding, they had trained an owl to bring the ring from the back of the room to land on the best man’s arm so he could present the ring, or whatever the technical term is.
“Instead, the owl panicked, flew in a circle, shat on my dad, and then flew into the rafters. A ladder and a broomstick were required to retrieve the ring. Not so much ‘the couple’, but they had planned this elaborate romantic gesture and it backfired in the funniest way possible.”

“I went to a wedding a few years ago and the groom walked in and up the aisle like a boxer, with gloves and a silk coat thing to loud music, hopping up the aisle throwing fake punches. He got to the altar and his groomsmen took off the house coat and pretended to rub ice on his face, etc. Then his music stopped and all the bridesmaids walked in followed by the bride. It was… awful…”

“My college boyfriend was in the wedding party of a very Christian couple, so I went as a +1. They very much wanted to ‘wait until marriage’. Their first dance was set to a very slow, overly earnest song about how close they now were to being able to have sex. It was weird.”

“The bride’s entire family airing her out. Her entire family gave speeches about how shocked they were that she found someone to marry.”

“Stopping the ceremony multiple times to ‘get the perfect shot’ for social media.”

“My cousin is deeply religious, a Baptist.
“She got married when she was 19. In the middle of the service, the reverend stopped and addressed the guests, saying, ‘The couple wants everyone to know how proud they are that they’ve never kissed, that all their dates were chaperoned, and they’ve never even held hands because their chaperones would sit in between them.
“Then the couple turned to the guests and just sort of stared at us, as if expecting us to clap or something. We just sat there quietly for a minute, and then eventually the reverend just went on with the ceremony. It was incredibly awkward and weird.”

“Instead of a reception line, the couple announced before walking back down the aisle that they would like to ‘thank everyone with their eyes’. And then they stood in front of the audience and made deliberate, silent eye contact with each person in attendance, one by one.”

“Make a big book of all their love letters for other people to read. Not only was the thought of reading all this private stuff just embarrassing, but the man was married to someone else at the time.
“I think maybe they thought of themselves as having a big storybook romance that everyone would want to read about and envy? But I’m very close with the family and followed the whole courtship, and it was really anything but storybook.”
