The Biggest And Most Hilarious Wedding Fails You’ll Ever See

Published on July 20, 2020
Weddings are an integral part of nearly every culture in the world. Though traditions, outfits, and music may change depending on where and who you are, the one constant is that this is meant to be the bride and groom’s happiest day of all. In the U.S., typically you have a wedding party that includes bridesmaids and groomsmen, who are chosen by the couple in order to help celebrate their special day. Sometimes, things can get a little crazy when it comes to the groomsmen’s antics or bridesmaids’ outfits. These are some of the most hysterical wedding fails compiled.

That Outfit Is A Choice

For some people, walking down the aisle is the most exciting part of being in the wedding party. It means that the happy couple value and cherish your friendship so much, that they want to include you in their ceremony on their special day. That being said, some people may not actually deserve that opportunity, like this friend who chose to skate down the aisle with this outfit.

Who, Me?

It is quite common to choose a younger (sometimes much, much younger) member of the family to be the ring bearer.

Not Every Dress Is Equal

Although some brides mandate the exact dress that she expects her bridesmaids to wear, some brides are more lenient and simply ask the bridesmaids to choose a dress in the color of the bride’s choosing. Here, the bride thought she was being extra nice, since these dresses can be arranged however the wearer chooses. Still, most people would prefer a more uniformed look when it comes to the same dress.

They’ll Regret This Later

When choosing a wedding dress, as well as bridesmaids dresses, many brides make the mistake of choosing a date that is very typical of the current fashion. While at the time of the wedding you’ll be at the top of the fashion game, years later you’ll look back on the photos and wondered why you chose those very 80’s puffy sleeves. Remember, classic is always better.

Bridesmaids Or Ice Skaters?
