Worst things to happen at a wedding

I used to waitress at a hotel at their weddings so I've seen it all.

Worst one: a waiter spilt an entire gravy boat over the bride. Surprisingly, the bride took it well, cracked a joke that they had at least had their photos taken already, and reappeared in a borrowed dress. Hotel obviously had to pay for the dry cleaning for the dress!

One that shocked me the most: a family with around 5 kids aged ~2 - ~12 we're all sat around the same table. I was serving their mains when I suddenly clocked they were all (including the 2 year old) drinking blue WKDs. The table was also littered with empty bottles so they were all at least on their second of the day. Had a quiet word with my manager as I wasn't 18 myself at the time and didn't know what to do, and while I was doing that the dad got up and walked towards the bar. My manager told me to follow her and went to serve the dad herself.

He ordered 7 WKDs so she asked if they were for the children at his table. Dad just said yes so casually and after an awkward pause my manager said sorry I can't serve you then and he started getting all irate and asking why not. Long story short, the parents had no idea it was alcoholic and thought it was just blue lemonade. Apparently the kids had it at home all the time. I know my manager had to alert the authorities but I wasn't kept in the loop after that. Poor, poor children.

Funniest one: the bride who decided to have a winter themed wedding, including a real ice sculpture and bridesmaids in faux-fur shawls, in August. And it ended up being during a heatwave. It went as well as you can imagine. One bridesmaid fainted.

Bizarrest one: bride and groom had 9 ushers and 8 bridesmaids respectively. The mismatch became clear when it turned out there were 8 couples and the 9th usher had recently broken up with what should have been the 9th bridesmaid, so she had been uninvited. The weirdest bit was they decided to solve the imbalance for the picture by MAKING ME STAND IN! They did it so the bridesmaids were on a step lined up behind their partners, so you couldn't see I was in my uniform. Why the hell they didn't choose another wedding guest I'll never know but I was too shy to say no. It does crack me up that I'm in some random couples official wedding photos.
