We Can’t Stop Reading These Wedding Horror Stories On Twitter

We’ve heard our fair share of wedding horror stories, from sons punching their mothers to brides on ketamine and the uninvited guest who smashed wine bottles on the floor.

This week a wedding story featuring a series of unfortunate events has gone viral on Twitter after newlywed Summer Brennan tweeted; ‘What a week. Still trying to get over having my mother-in-law interrupt our vows uninvited and then, while doing so, calling me by my husband's ex's name. Are there any proverbs about bad weddings=good marriages?’

The tweet by the Brookyn-based author and journalist prompted replies by married men and women who had similarly frightful wedding stories, here are some of our favourites.

‘I married my best friend in a hasty ceremony. The officiant told us we didn’t have a good vibe together. I had two kids and 13 years with the dude I apparently “didn’t seem serious about” and we’re not together now but we’re family until the world ends.’ - @KillerMartinis

‘When my husband and I were driving away to leave on our honeymoon my MIL stood in the front yard crying and yelling “What’s going to happen to me?!” She got worse with time. But 42 years and counting so ...’ - @isabellabc

‘My late MIL stood on the train of my dress in receiving line, stuck her face much too close, and said loudly, "I always wanted a daughter. ARE YOU MY DAUGHTER NOW?" Still haven't thought of good answer 38 years later, but happily married. #MazelTov’ - @hopedellon

‘My MIL and grandma in law tried to schedule a wedding shower for another family couple on our wedding day. Asked me to be responsible for the party games...’ - @KMMarang

‘WOW. Up until now, worst wedding story was the groomsmen at a friend's wedding put tape on the bottom of his shoes with the word HELP on one and ME on the other. It was a catholic wedding and there was some kneeling.’ - @1PantsuitNation

‘Our wedding brought out the worst in my mom. She accused my to-be husband of marrying me just to get his green card (he already had one, something I’d told her multiple times). I was so frustrated at one point I screamed at her, then she asked if we were “on dope.”’ - @bethfiguls

And yes, Summer did find her bad wedding proverb… kind of.
