I went to a wedding once (the people involved shall remain nameless) and let’s just say that things did not go according to plan…

In fact, it was a bit of a train wreck!

It was unorganized, nothing was set up properly, guests were getting irritated: one thing after another got disrupted and the mood was UGLY.

But, we powered through it and put on happy faces so the bride and groom wouldn’t get upset…even though we had a sneaking suspicion they felt the same way.

What I’m getting at is that if a wedding isn’t planned out properly, it’s not gonna go well.

The person who wrote this story knows all about that because they also attended a disorganized wedding, and they explained what happened below.

Read on and see what you think.

When the wedding goes past the point of DIY to disaster?

My brother-in-law was a groomsman. The groom also stayed at our Airbnb the night before the wedding.

We traveled six hours to the middle of nowhere for this wedding, but the groom and his family are very close family friends, so we came to support him.

Most of these dinners are usually the same anyway, right?

The rehearsal dinner went fine. A bit disorganized, but standard food. Chicken breasts, Mac and cheese, green beans and rolls.

The wedding was WAY out in the middle of nowhere. GPS didn’t work & they didn’t send maps or anything.

There were no signs. We just followed a car and got lucky that they were going the same place.

The wedding was very DIY.

There’s nothing like getting put to work when you’re the guest at a wedding!

The groomsmen were expected to show up at 9 am the day of the wedding to set up chairs on the farm, mow, & do other various chores.

After the set up, they were served lunch which was the rehearsal dinner food reheated.

They also had nowhere for the groomsmen to shower after working out in the heat, so that was poorly planned.

This might the one of the worst weddings of all time…at least Top 10.

We get to the ceremony and have to board a hayride to get to the ceremony spot. The hay bales were not tied down so we were slipping and sliding all over the trailer.

This is getting long, so I’m going to just start a bulleted list of what went wrong:

The officiant was intoxicated and got some of the words wrong causing the bride and groom to stumble over their words.

The bride’s horse was tied to a tree during the ceremony and kept neighing very loudly.

After the ceremony, we went to the reception that we also didn’t have a map or address to, so we followed cars and eventually found our way there.

This sounds very disappointing!

The reception venue’s air conditioning was broken.

They were still setting up when guests arrived for cocktail hour.

Cocktail hour consisted of a plate of town house crackers and a single mini crockpot with a plastic liner containing what looked like maybe queso.

The bar was unattended. It was beer only, which is fine, but at least have someone back there to grab them. I went behind the bar to get beer out of the Coleman coolers it was in. I got stuck tending bar for 45 minutes.

Talk about a big letdown…

The bride and groom finally arrive to no entrance or anything.

They have to cut the cake immediately on arrival because the cake is falling/melting over.

The food…. WAS THE SAME AS THE REHEARSAL DINNER. It was just reheated!

They ran out of food before everyone was served.

But food wasn’t the only problem.

The PA system didn’t work, so they played music off someone’s cell phone.

The groomsmen were very late to the reception because they were packing up chairs and decor at the ceremony site.

Luckily everything worked out and they are still married with a baby, but safe to say I will not be traveling to Kentucky again anytime soon.”

Whew, that was a wild ride!

And, I’m not gonna lie, I had some flashbacks about that fateful day when I had to endure a poorly-planned, disastrous wedding…

Will I ever get over it?

Time will tell…

I kid, I kid, but, judging by the story you just read, these kinds of events tend to stick in our minds long after the big day…and that’s not a good thing.

If you’re gonna get hitched, the best thing you can do is take your time, make sure you have all your ducks in a row, and be prepared!

This sounds like the WEDDING FROM HELL.
