Sometimes a friend might object. This could be because they know some dark secret about one of the people getting married. Maybe they've heard rumors about infidelity or some other unseemly behavior. It's a shocker when it happens and can really disrupt the wedding.
One horror story was when the groom's ex - girlfriend showed up at the wedding and objected during the vows. She started screaming about how he was still in love with her and that this wedding was a mistake. It was so chaotic that the bride started crying and the whole ceremony was thrown into disarray.
Late or no - show vendors are quite common. For example, the DJ not showing up means no music for the party. It ruins the whole mood of the reception.
One of the most common elements is something going wrong with the wedding party. For instance, a bridesmaid might get drunk and make a scene or the groomsmen might play a prank that goes too far. Also, issues with the wedding attire such as the wrong size dress being delivered or the groom's suit getting stained are often part of these horror stories.
Often, momzillas get involved in the guest list. They might invite people the couple doesn't want or exclude friends of the bride or groom. This can cause a lot of stress and conflict. For instance, the momzilla might add her old colleagues whom the couple has never met. Another aspect is the momzilla taking over the wedding venue selection. She might choose a place that is convenient for her but not for the majority of the guests. This can lead to guests having trouble getting there and a less - than - ideal wedding experience.
The most common one is probably the weather going wrong. If it's an outdoor wedding and a sudden storm hits, it can ruin the whole setup. Tables and chairs get wet, and the guests are scrambling for cover.
A very common one is bad editing. For example, the photographer over - softened the skin to the point where the couple looked like plastic dolls. Another is the wrong settings used, like a very low shutter speed which made all the action shots blurry. And sometimes, the photographer just has a really bad sense of composition and the pictures end up looking really unappealing.
In many wedding horror stories, there are issues with the photography. The photographer might be late or lose all the photos. And then there's the case of a wedding dress disaster, like a rip or stain right before the bride walks down the aisle. These things can turn a happy day into a horror - filled one.
Weather problems are quite common. For example, if it's an outdoor wedding and suddenly there's a huge downpour. Guests get wet, the decorations are ruined.
One common type is the bank - related phishing. Hackers send emails or messages that seem to be from banks, asking for login details. Another is the fake invoice phishing, like I mentioned before for the small business. Also, there are those that target individuals through social media with offers that are too good to be true.
There are also horror stories related to malicious links in chats. People click on links sent by others thinking it's something harmless, like a game or a funny video. But in reality, the link contains malware that can steal data, corrupt devices, or even give the attacker access to the user's webcam and microphone without their knowledge. It's really a nightmare for those who experience it.
