I don't think we had any major drama the day of, minus the hurricane that resulted in torrential downpour for our outdoor ceremony, but there was plenty with my ILs leading up to the event.
They wanted us to have a huge gaudy NY wedding and I wanted no wedding at all. Pretty much all H and I's decisions were unacceptable to them. Too bad we didn't care and did what we wanted. They threatened to not pay for things they had offered to pay for and I said I didn't need them to pay in the first place ( which was true) so it was fine. I wanted X and if they wanted to pay for Y ( much more expensive and not what I wanted), they could do so for someone else.
They ended up paying for what they had offered to pay for but continued to be ridiculous in other ways.

Nothing at or leading up to the wedding, though afterwards we discovered that and handful of cards with cash/checks in them were stolen. We still have no idea who did that.
My aunt's second husband started having a heart attack during our reception and my mom left to go be with my aunt at the hospital so she missed 80% of our reception. The worst part was he turned into an asshole and they ended up divorcing a couple years later.
The night before my wedding, my sister flipped out because she hadn't gotten her MOH dress altered and it wasn't fitting her correctly. I decided I would either go to bed early or throw a shit fit in her general direction. I chose wisely and somehow the dress fit her in the morning. I never asked how.
I didnāt know it at the time, but I found out later my mother ran through ANOTHER wedding reception drunk and dramatically crying and yelling at the end of the evening. So, if you were a bride married at the Boston harbor hotel in 2004 that had this happen to you - let me know!
āFriendsā got drunk and wrecked a golf cart during our reception. I worked at the resort where we were married and my coworkers kept It from me since my mom had cancer surgery 3 days after our wedding.
Not really, thankfully. Closest I had was my aunt lecturing me about how I was going to hell because there was dancing at my reception (and then proceeded to sit by herself and read the bible).
Dance on folks. I'll save you a table when I get there. š

Are you mad at him? Your mom? I can def understand how a significant medical event changes the whole mood of a festive event, but nobody chooses when to have a heart attack!
Ok douche, go ahead and call it mud. My husband DID have halitosis. We addressed it after I talked to you girls on here and guess what? Years later, no problem. Mofongo, you're a cunt. Eat shit. ~anonnamus
We were supposed to have jello shots for the dollar dance (so cringey) but they were accidentally given to another wedding going on at the same time, so we had to pick something else, and I had been pumped for the jello shots lol.
H's 18 year old brother was definitely trashed and H's friends were trying to take him to the bar afterwards, and his parents shut that down quickly.
H's cousin and her fiance had a huge fight outside and he smashed a glass on the ground while screaming at her. I missed all that though. #trashy

Were these friends male by chance? I know two different sets of drunken, male adults who have wrecked golf carts! š¤¦š¼āāļøš¤¦š¼āāļø

In-laws threw a fit that we didnāt have space to invite a neighbor from a few houses down and my 30yr old husbandās pediatrician.
So they didnāt show up. And that was the last we heard from them. Sad!
I want to say I'm sorry, but sounds like maybe it has been for the best?
Reminds me that we told ILS to cut their list by about 50 people and that went over really well. They wanted us to have another party in NYC for their "friends that you are excluding and want to celebrate with us." Um. I had never met any of those people and I wanted my actual friends at the wedding. And our venue had a 180 person limit.
And I didn't want the wedding I had so I sure as shit wasn't having another mini one just for those random people. I think they had told their non invited friends that we were going to because it was a thing that they discussed with H for a verrrrrrryyyyy long time. Like months.

How can I forget?! My 25 year old, single at the time brother allegedly slept with my 28 year old, very much married bridesmaid. I have never asked either of them if its true, but I have a feeling it is.
I have silly post wedding drama. My mom's friend, who never does anything on time and is sloppy but fancies herself an artiste, offered to do my wedding flowers. She was also an invited guest. I politely declined. No drama there.
She took several of my table arrangements home (I don't care about this part), then remade them into NEW centerpieces for the book club she hosted the following week. My mom arrived and she was all "See! Look how beautiful THESE are!" Then she made all tbe book club ladies pose for like 10282 photos with them to send to me.
I was on my honeymoon. Literally could not have cared less.
Oh! We all went to a bar after the reception and my maid of honor got cracy drunk and lost her purse. She also got left behind by the people she was staying with (she didnāt live in town, was staying at a college friends house). This was pre Uber and before most of us had cell phones so we determined she would just stay with us that night in our wedding night hotel suite. Lol. Luckily before that happened we were able to figure out the address of where she was staying and got her in a taxi (where I may have lectured the driver that if she turned up dead I had his name and taxi number? Oh lord we were so young and stupid)

Between the ceremony and the reception, a friend from college ended up breaking up with her boyfriend and they left in very dramatic and visible fashion. Two co-workers who were in a relationship with each other broke up (much more privately) after the reception. We did get married on Friday the 13th.

Mostly disappointed in the timing but also mad at him looking back 17.5 years later. He turned into a class A asshole right afterwards.

The drama that lasts TO THIS DAY: my MIL and FIL split the cost of the rehearsal dinner, except MIL couldnāt afford it. FIL paid for it all, and *still* harasses her for her half. It has been 13 years.
The only reason we found out about it was because MIL got drunk at Christmas one year and did a whole, āLet me tell you all the reasons I hate your dadā¦ā list and that was numbers 1-10.
Not exactly drama but a funny story.I got druuuuuunk at our rehearsal dinner (the waiters just kept topping off my glass of wine and I didn't really notice). I was so hungover the next day I wasn't sure I was going to make it through the ceremony (hour long catholic mass) without hurling on the altar. Luckily my MOH spent the night with me and she is a doctor. She got me meds and fluids and carbs. That plus adrenaline got me through.
My sister/MOH decided she simply couldnāt wear her bridesmaid dress (that sheād picked out) all night so she got herself a different, more elaborate, reception gown. I didnāt even have a separate reception gown. This bothered me tremendously as a 24-year old bride.
This complaint is petty: I wanted a specific guest book and for whatever reason, I don't remember now, my pre-MIL was buying the guest book. She didn't like what I wanted, told pre-DH a bunch of BS about why it wouldn't be good and bought what she wanted. Grr.
My dad's sister "overslept" and missed everything. My dad's brother didn't come because Penn State was playing lol.
My maid of honor couldn't find shoes that would work supposedly. Our plan was for her to spend the night at our place Friday night because she lived a few hours away, do the rehearsal dinner, hang out, help me with the flowers (I was dumb, young and broke so thought doing bouquets and boutonnieres myself would be a good idea š ). But she shows up with no shoes, no bra that would work with her dress. So we had to run to the store after the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner the night before the damn wedding to find her shoes. Which I had to pay for. After paying for her dress a few months before, which fortunately we found semi-cheaply She "borrowed" an extra bra from me and somehow ended up with my makeup and "lost" them both. This girl , IDK about her. She's still drama a million years later.
Oh and DH's underage cousin, I'm not sure how old he was at the time but definitely high school age, got drunk by walking around finishing people's left behind drinks and ended up puking on the way back to the hotel. MIL is still appalled.
Not really drama, but my BIL (my sisterās H) was dancing with my new MIL and picked her up and dropped her on her head. Fortunately she was fine, aside from a small bump. He felt so bad and sent her an apology with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

It was so cold and windy for our outside wedding that we moved it inside specifically for our grandparents. H and I still wanted to have our outside wedding though so we did a quick outside ceremony with only our bridal parties and parents, then had the full wedding indoors. MIL got pissed that we didnāt include the grandparents outside and didnāt speak to us for the remainder of the day.
