    6. "We all knew it wouldn't last when the mother of the groom cried as he seated her. Someone said, 'It's so sweet that she's excited for her son to get married,' and she turned around and said, 'I'm crying because my son is making the biggest mistake of his life.'"

    "She said it right in front of the bride's family! And the groom didn't defend his wife when his mother drunkenly told her later that he should've married his ex."

    "Well, it seems that deep down he thought otherwise, because he got so drunk the moment the wedding was over that he doesn't even remember most of the reception or wedding night! And he's not even a drinker!"

    16. "I attended a wedding where the bride's biggest concern was getting the perfect picture.
