The special day you've always dreamed of has gone sideways, and you're going to remember it for the rest of your life. It's a miserable experience, but at least all of your guests have a wild story to tell.

Redditor u/MARSJRA polled the AskReddit crew for their worst wedding stories, and the responses ranged from tragic to hilarious. We're so thankful that none of these happened to us, but train wrecks are exceedingly hard to look away from.

What’s the worst thing you’ve seen happen at a wedding (yours or someone else’s)?

After going through hundreds of responses, we've selected a handful of the wildest examples that are really worth your time. And if you're not married yet, at least you know what to avoid going forward.

Thankfully, this disaster was not an omen
