What are the most common elements in wedding 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, 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.

Late or no - show vendors are quite common. For example, the DJ not showing up means no music for the party. It ruins the whole mood of the reception.

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.

In many wedding horror stories, there are problems with the venue. It could be that it's not as clean as expected or there are technical problems like the air - conditioning breaking down in the middle of the summer. There can also be issues with the schedule. For instance, if the ceremony starts too late, it can throw off the whole day. And miscommunication between different parties involved in the wedding, like the couple and the decorator, can lead to a disaster. There have been cases where the couple expected one type of decoration but got something completely different.

Equipment failure is a common one. When the DJ's speakers blow or the music source stops working, it can really mess up the mood. Another is playing the wrong music, like when a DJ plays a sad song during a happy moment or vice versa.

Often, unexpected health issues can be a part of these stories. For example, if either the bride or groom suddenly falls ill due to something they ate or drank at the wedding. Also, family drama can spill over into the wedding night. Maybe there were arguments during the wedding that carried on into the night and made it really unpleasant for the couple.
