Weddings can be the most wonderful occasions, with family and friends coming together to celebrate one couple’s love for one another! However, there are some people who find ways to make weddings…well, slightly more awkward .
One person recently took to the internet to ask, ” Confession time: What wedding shameful thing have YOU done?” and the internet had some incredible confessions to make!
So, please find below some of the most cringe-worthy, hilarious, and weird wedding confessions that people had to share.
Fasting + Alcohol = Disaster!
“I tried the bridesmaid dress on a week before the wedding and DAMMIT it wouldn’t close. I fasted all week and day of. On the party bus taking us to picture place and then venue, I participated in Fireball shots. [No] food, crappy liquor? I was tipsy walking down the aisle and because I thought I was doing good kept drinking at the reception, yeah got drunk and did not do good.” — asugaraddict
Caught On Camera…
“On my own [wedding], I gave my armpit the big ole sniff to see if I maybe need deodorant or something. The camera caught it. I have that on my wedding video.” — deedeelocks
I cannot believe that the photographer included that in the actual video! This person added: “You can also see me and my maid of honor notice that the camera guy filmed it, and I very aggressively signalled him to cut the video, but he just shook his head ‘nope’ and we laughed.”
Turning Up Late
“I arrived late to my cousin’s wedding, just as the bridesmaids were lining up to walk down the aisle. Instead of waiting like a normal person, I dashed ahead of them into the chapel. Everyone was staring at me bc the bridal march music had just started. I was so flustered that I sat down on the ‘wrong’ side.
“My other cousins were looking at me like, ‘wtf???’ And once again, instead of being a normal person and staying put, I got up and switched sides to sit with my cousins, just as the first bridesmaid entered. I’m pretty sure I wrecked at least a couple of pictures of her.” — meguin
Vomit On The Special Day
“My oldest sister got married at 9am. Following the mass and wedding breakfast there was a reception at 7pm. We went visiting shut ins till reception time. I was the flower girl. I was known to get car sick. Bestman driving [and] moh riding shotgun. We stopped at a general store and they bought me a honking dill pickle and the four of them were smoking in the car.
“I wasn’t feeling well so sister put me on her lap. I projected puke all over the best man and moh into the front seat soaking them. Then I sat back and did the same to my sister she told me to puke on the floor so I puked on the grooms shoes. The kicker is I only ate brownies at the breakfast. I caused a train wreck. I ruined everything […] This was in 1966.” — Confident-Blueberry2
The Mermaid Rebellion
“I was a teenager and going through a phase where I rejected anything and everything feminine. I was also angry all the time for no real reason, like most teenagers. I was told I had to wear a dress for my [stepmother’s] cousin’s wedding. I never met the cousin before and didn’t feel I owed it to them to wear a dress. […] I also protested by dyeing my hair blue, which if you’ve ever done before you know it fades to this ugly washed-out green color.
“A couple of days before the wedding I met the cousin and her fiancé and they were really nice and I felt embarrassed by my attitude. [I] compromised and agreed to wear a long skirt as long as I could wear jeans underneath. I have a photo from the wedding and it was a nice ceremony but I wish I didn’t have that god-awful, mermaid-green hair.” — ApartSandwich4800
At Least They Have Changed Their Attitude Now
“When I was 13 my mom (who had just adopted me two years prior) got married to her boyfriend. [He] had asked my brother and I if it was okay to marry my mom. Us having some pretty hefty trust issues immediately said no. He said, ‘Well I asked her last night and she said yes.’

“My revenge at the wedding was to frown or have a stoic face in ALL the wedding photos. I also had stepped a foot away from the new family photos so I just look like a total brat who definitely did not have grace in accepting the new family. It’s kinda funny looking back at it now and seeing my face, but I do feel pretty shameful as I do love my now dad.” — gutturgurl
Always Check The Mic Is On!
“I’ve only been to a wedding once in my adult life and [I] was supposed to go with my partner at the time but we broke up a few months beforehand, so then I wasn’t going at all. The bride and grooms DJ quit about 6 weeks before the day so I agreed to [DJ], they offered to pay the cost of my meals/seating/time and all that jazz. I get to the wedding, it’s all going well until just before the cake.
“I was seated at a table with no one I knew, which I found out was my ex’s doing. […] I probably wouldn’t have cared or noticed had nothing been said. [Although,] I accidentally called him a c*** right next to the microphone where my laptop and gear was set up. I was lucky most people were either outside and laughing or downstairs getting drinks. […] I hate that I said words of hate at what should be a joyus celebration.” — doomdoom15
“I wore the same colour as the bride.”
“To be fair. It wasn’t a white dress, the bride was my mother, she approves of the dress beforehand and she absolutely loved the fact that we where wearing the same colour.
“But I did end up getting a few dirty looks from guests. Until they realised that I was the daughter of the bride and my mom picked the dress.” — RobinLouiseVV
Should They Have Asked?
“Back in college, I knew a work friend who was one of the first people I knew who got engaged. I remember asking her why I wasn’t invited, which must’ve caused so much unnecessary discomfort for her. It makes my skin crawl and cringe to oblivion thinking about it now, especially as someone who’s engaged now. Never ask about the invitation (or lack thereof) and just say your congratulations!” — petrichar
Cutting Their Own Hair Last Minute
“I was 7 and a flower girl for my 2nd cousin. [But,] I was too mad at my bangs and hair being in my face. So I did what thousands have done before me, I grabbed my mom’s manicure scissors and whacked my bangs down to the root! Now fortunately I covered it with my headband but you can clearly see it in some pictures I had really done a number on my hair. I looked like I had a baby mullet.
“This was also the same wedding I didn’t want to walk because my tights were too dang bunchy so I stripped at the end of the aisle, just barefoot in my long dress, and ran down the rest. Normally I was a pretty good kid but that day I was done with everything. Fortunately my cousin, her husband, and sets of grandparents thought it was cute and funny, but nope my parents were not impressed.” — AylaZelanaGrebiel
Getting A Little Too Kettled…
“I went to a wedding where they had little glasses of sweet sherry for people to do a toast & most people only had a sip. So, I went around and got drunk finishing off the drinks people had left.
“In my defence, I was six!” — Whiskey-on-the-Rocks
Schrödinger’s Bridesmaid
“Accidentally wore a simple dress very very close but noticeably just one shade off from the bridesmaids. In pictures I look like a bridesmaid who missed the memo. Now, I ask what the bridesmaids are wearing first.
“Also to that same wedding, my mother had recently died and I was in a grief fog, [I] completely forgot to even give them a card, let alone a gift (I barely even managed to go to the wedding to be honest). I only remembered this when this (very nice, understanding and compassionate couple) just got me and my fiancée something off our registry and I tried to recall what we got them… and realized. Needless to say I am going to get them something [awesome] and send it over ASAP.” — handsomeprincess
The “Unwanted” +1
“I was an unwanted +1. My ex asked me as a date without checking if it was okay with the bride and groom first, and I had never met them. There was some other last-second guest cancellation so I was able to have a seat, and I congratulated/thanked them for letting me be there when we met.
“I feel very embarrassed about it now. I was 25 at the time, hadn’t attended a wedding since I was 14, and wasn’t aware of most of the standard etiquette. If I’d known better I would have said a firm but polite ‘no.'” — heldriss
Having To Quit Being Maid-Of-Honor
“I was asked to be MOH at a friend’s wedding a few years back. It was pretty rough. She wanted multiple destination bridal showers and bachelorette parties. She expected me to pay for all of it. I was in college, working part-time, so clearly, none of that was going to happen. Then, she started bragging to me about having cheated on her fiancé. I told her that knowing that, I could no longer be MOH.
“She insisted I still be a bridesmaid, so I was. It was the WORST [day]. I felt absolutely awful, couldn’t stomach any food, struggled to participate, and just shouldn’t have been there. I left after the cake cutting and we never really spoke again. I have no idea if she told her now-husband but, they’re still together. So, I’m guessing she didn’t.” — andandandetc
Coming In As Everyone Is Leaving
“We missed the whole ceremony because I was getting ready. I kept telling my fiancé ‘the ceremony doesn’t start at the time listed on the invitation.’ I was very wrong. We walked into the church as everyone was walking out. That one still makes me cringe years later.” — imnotcreative-ugh
