50 Trashy Wedding Guests That Deserved To Be Shamed

Bored Panda got in touch with Jhona Yellin, Editor of Bespoke Bride, and she was kind enough to answer some of our questions. Naturally, given their extensive experience organizing all sorts of weddings every year, we were curious to hear if they have had any crazy stories.

“Yes indeed! After 13 years of covering weddings all around the world, our team has a long list of some crazy stories. I once attended a wedding where a guest got into the couple's open bar a bit too early. By the time the cake was being cut, this person was on the dance floor, trying to reenact Dirty Dancing — solo.”

“Trust me, no one was ready for a full-body interpretive version of "I’ve Had the Time of My Life." It was... unforgettable, but probably not in the way the couple wanted,” she shared. Even the most conscientious planner would probably not have a strategy in place for something like this and many people are not nearly as good at planning as they think.

“And then there was a wedding when one of the groomsmen — yes, a groomsman — managed to spill red wine on the bride's gown before the ceremony had even started. It was like a rom-com blooper reel, except it wasn’t funny in real life.” she shared with Bored Panda.

So we were curious to hear just how often the happy couple actually plans for the sort of things on display in this list. “Now, when planning a wedding, you'd think maybe couples would consider these disasters, but surprisingly, wedding crashers or misbehaving guests aren't always top of mind.”

“It’s more like an afterthought, you know, that moment of "Oh, maybe we should have a backup plan in case Uncle Frank brings that friend again." I’ve seen a few couples add "no crashers" security at some venues — smart move, by the way, especially if you’re having a high-profile event or if your family has a reputation for a little too much fun.”

She was willing to provide some resources in case someone needed some extra help planning. “We always recommend couples to plan their wedding well, also for horrible events like the ones above. For example, they can read this bride's tips on how to throw a wedding your guests will love.”
