Church wedding for bridezilla. It was poorly organized. The bride decided that the entire reception could be set up (tables and all) by a couple of elderly ladies. The groom happened to show up at the church and saw the old ladies trying to drag tables around. I pitched in and called some of the groomsmen and they got it set up. The bride was no where to be found. Turns out she was napping."

"At the ceremony the bride insisted on playing at least five to six songs all of which were five to six minutes long. So the entire congregation was just sitting there listening to a six minute rendition of 'The Rose' followed by another five minute rendition of something else. Finally, we got to the reception where the bride insisted on opening every single gift despite her groom telling her it would take too long but it's 'her day.' She got offended that people were leaving in the middle of 'her day' and she had to open every single gift and then publicly thank the person."
Hybrid Zoom/in person religious ceremony. Over Zoom, so everyone at the virtual ceremony could hear, someone loudly spoke into their Siri, 'Google divorce rate in first year for [religion].' It was being recorded so I pray the wedding planner edited that out."
There was this one time I went to a wedding where the groom got wasted before the ceremony even started. He stumbled down the aisle while slurring his vows and puking in his own shoes. The bride was too drunk to care. The whole place smelled like cheap vodka and regret. It was a fucking disaster from start to finish."
My aunt got cold feet during her wedding so she stopped at a Spencer's on the way to the church and bought a pen with disappearing ink to sign the marriage certificate with her in case she wasn't brave enough to call it off. When she got to the church, she locked the certificate in her car so no one could get it and then proceeded to have a breakdown in the dressing room. About 30 minutes after the ceremony was supposed to start, she finally called it off. When the groom told his mother she collapsed with a heart attack and mild stroke and was rushed to the hospital. They still had the reception though."
Several years ago, I was at the wedding of my family friend's stepson. The actual ceremony was nice, and the first half of the reception was fine. But at some point, the groom accused his best man of groping his wife during a dance and then punched his best man which escalated a brawl between the groom and most of the groomsmen, with the brides father somehow getting involved. The police came and arrested the groom, the best man, another groomsman, the bride's father, and almost arrested the wife."
