What are the most common wedding industry horror stories?

One of the most common elements is something going wrong with the wedding party. For instance, a bridesmaid might get drunk and make a scene or the groomsmen might play a prank that goes too far. Also, issues with the wedding attire such as the wrong size dress being delivered or the groom's suit getting stained are often part of these horror stories.

Often, momzillas get involved in the guest list. They might invite people the couple doesn't want or exclude friends of the bride or groom. This can cause a lot of stress and conflict. For instance, the momzilla might add her old colleagues whom the couple has never met. Another aspect is the momzilla taking over the wedding venue selection. She might choose a place that is convenient for her but not for the majority of the guests. This can lead to guests having trouble getting there and a less - than - ideal wedding experience.

The most common one is probably the weather going wrong. If it's an outdoor wedding and a sudden storm hits, it can ruin the whole setup. Tables and chairs get wet, and the guests are scrambling for cover.

A very common one is bad editing. For example, the photographer over - softened the skin to the point where the couple looked like plastic dolls. Another is the wrong settings used, like a very low shutter speed which made all the action shots blurry. And sometimes, the photographer just has a really bad sense of composition and the pictures end up looking really unappealing.

In many wedding horror stories, there are issues with the photography. The photographer might be late or lose all the photos. And then there's the case of a wedding dress disaster, like a rip or stain right before the bride walks down the aisle. These things can turn a happy day into a horror - filled one.

Weather problems are quite common. For example, if it's an outdoor wedding and suddenly there's a huge downpour. Guests get wet, the decorations are ruined.

Often, problems with the quality of the fabric are a big part of these horror stories. For example, the fabric might be itchy, as I mentioned before, or it might be flimsy and not look as elegant as it should. Also, miscommunication between the bride and the dressmaker or the store is common. The bride might have wanted one style but received something completely different.

Rude customers are very common in these stories. They might be rude to waitstaff, like yelling at them for minor things. Another type is unreasonable demands. For example, a customer in a beauty salon asking for a completely different style than what was originally agreed upon at the last minute and getting angry when it's not possible.

Sometimes a friend might object. This could be because they know some dark secret about one of the people getting married. Maybe they've heard rumors about infidelity or some other unseemly behavior. It's a shocker when it happens and can really disrupt the wedding.

One common mil wedding horror story is the over - controlling mother - in - law dictating every aspect of the wedding. For example, she might force the couple to choose a venue they don't like or a color scheme that doesn't match their taste. Another is when the mil invites a whole bunch of uninvited guests, causing chaos with the seating arrangements and budget. And sometimes, the mil might try to upstage the bride on her big day by wearing a more extravagant dress.
