If you are going to be making a speech or reading a list or announcing the dance or anything at all, please please please check the names of anyone you will be talking about.
I have seen people announce the estranged father who isn’t allowed to come for the father daughter dance. I have seen people mix up the brides and sisters name. I have seen people use the ex wifes name. I have seen mispronunciations, oh so many.
It takes, at most, five minutes to do, yet so many people dont do this. For my sake, please check, so Im not cringing.

Give a speech in which you make allusions to an attraction/secret relationship between yourself and the bride. Easily the worst wedding speech I’ve ever heard. Just so awkward.

I’m a bartender at a fair amount of weddings and once again last week I saw what I thought was a pretty big faux pas. A female guest wearing a long, white diaphanous dress. For a minute we thought she was actually the bride. Who would think competing with the bride by wearing an “almost” wedding gown is a great idea?

Get out of your wheelchair and start walking down the aisle just to steal the thunder of the guy pushing you. Total bull crap.

Propose, announce your wedding date, or announce a pregnancy.

Bringing your children, if the invite says no children.

Weddings are expensive. Like, very expensive. And, venue and catering costs make up the bulk of the cost. If youre not forking up any cash to help the couple afford their wedding, you should just sit back, relax and enjoy the ceremony. Stop worrying about how long it took to get there, how many times youve been there before or how generic that fountain and gazebo might be. You RSVPed, so deal with it.

Bring someone to the wedding who wasn’t invited. I got a text from an invited guest that he had forgotten that my wedding was that day, but he was in the area and would still be coming. I said that was fine, and he then proceeded to tell me he was also hanging out with a guy we went to high school with, who wanted to come too. I didn’t invite this person for a reason, but at that point I didn’t have time to handle the situation and said it was okay. They both show up in Pokemon sweatshirts and sweatpants and end up getting obnoxiously drunk. The uninvited friend drank 14 beers (That we had to pay for) and ended up spending 10 minutes hanging out at out the head table talking about pudding.

Show up wearing your wedding dress to another person’s wedding. Happened at mine.

Drink a quart of whiskey before the ceremony, refuse to put on a shirt during the ceremony and then sit in your car and blast techno the whole time because you were asked to leave. Someone did this at a wedding I was at on Saturday.

As the sister of the groom, you absolutely shouldn’t hook up with the brother of the bride at the rehearsal dinner, then make a huge deal about it the rest of the night and during the wedding the following day.
My attention starved cousin didn’t get the memo.

Wear non-waterproof mascara. Particularly if you are the bride.
I was cool as a cucumber the day of my wedding. I was getting my makeup done and the aesthetician mentioned she would use waterproof mascara because brides have a tendency to cry. I just shrugged and laughed. I didn’t think it would be a problem.
After the ceremony and the vows and getting married to the love of my life surrounded by all of my friends and family… I got emotional coming back down the aisle. I don’t cry from happiness very often but… yeah. Waterproof mascara.
(We are celebrating our 10th anniversary in August!)

I interrupted the officiant at my wedding. “I told you on three separate occasions we don’t want any of that bible stuff”. My wife wasn’t amused.

Wedding band/DJ/MC guy here. Been working these for a while.
Do NOT upstage the bride and groom. While either one of them are speaking, shut your mouth. Your joke isn’t so good that you should ruin their moment. If they’re having their dances, be still. For once, don’t make it about you. Stop, please. Don’t do it.

When the pastor says “You may kiss the bride,” that only applies to the groom.

Upstage the bride in any way, especially when it comes to what you’re wearing. If you wear a white dress and the bride is in a white dress, screw you.

You absolutely should not mention how many times you have slept with the bride.

Don’t go up to the organist during the church ceremony and offer a big tip if he’ll play the funeral march for the recessional instead of what was chosen.

My best friends older sister did this at her wedding.
They were going to have lots of booze, lots of dancing and music inappropriate for a childs ears. She really was looking out for them.
She was sure to put all this necessary information into the invitations, and everyone seemed in agreement. The invitations were sent a month in advance to be sure everyone with kids could find a babysitter and would be able to come. Everyone was good except for this one lady, we’ll call her A.
A had six kids, and all of them were devil’s childs. Bad attitudes, no discipline, everything you’d expect from a mother like she was.
Well, A calls my friends sister and explains to her, three days before the wedding, might I add; that she cannot get a babysitter and so she has to bring the kids with her. She says they promised to behave, she got them each nice clothes, etc.
Bride explains that there was a strict no-kids policy, so then if she couldn’t find a babysitter, that she was out of luck and if she couldn’t come they understood.
This clearly made A mad, but she just said okay and then hung up. Bride thought everything was good, until A showed up at the wedding with 6 little ones behind her. The best man and maid of honor stepped in very quickly and told her the kids weren’t allowed, and that they couldn’t stay. This set her off, she just started screaming and even took to throwing herself on the ground and begging for them to just let them stay. Still received a firm, ‘nope’, and then only thing that would shut her up was when the Groom finally came out and told her to leave, or the police would be called.
But after they left the wedding was fun.

Propose to your partner.

If it’s a free bar then you shouldn’t leave half finished drinks everywhere and just get a new one. You’re costing your friend thousands of bucks and you wouldn’t be so lazy if you were paying.

Start a toast with “Webster’s defines marriage…”

Get in the photographer’s way, or take your own flash photos during the ceremony.

Ask when it’s your turn to kiss the bride.

Wear a white dress unless you’re the bride or if specifically told it’s okay.

Show up at wedding you weren’t invited to. I came home for my aunt’s wedding (I live abroad), and two of my friends decided it was a great time to spend some time with me.
They showed quite late (11pm) after meals, and they brought bottle of champagne for the couple, so it wasn’t like they were after food or booze. But because they don’t really know my aunt or anyone else three, it was so awkward.
I’ve apologized like 3 times to my aunt and she was cool about that, but I still feel bad.

Show up in a muddy dress, drunk, and start rambling your speech, while holding a knife to the throat of a stuffed animal.

Try to force the string quartet to stay longer than the agreed time without extra pay.
Try to change what the string quartet and you have decided would be played for the ceremony minutes before it starts.
Annoy the string quartet in anyway.

Come late. It’s a persons wedding and they spent a fortune on the venue and food and decorations. At least come on time.
And never bring someone last minute. That seating plan they took care of and took forever to plan and all of a sudden being thrown to crap. I wouldn’t wanna be there to witness that.
