Has an awkward thing like this ever happened at a wedding you've seen?

[Clockwork]

Alright, a couple years back two friends of ours got married. I wasn't part of the wedding party, but a couple of my good friends were. The problem is, this couple should have never gotten married. There was physical abuse and well known cheating going on on the husband's side. The wife knew this and for whatever reason kept moving along. During the vows the minister got to the part where the groom "Promises to be faithful" and no word of a lie one of the groomsmen standing up on the platform beside the groom looks back and does a subtle snicker at one of the other groomsmen who has one of those "leave me out of this, man" looks to him.

 

My friend's wife immediately confronted him afterwards and said that we had seen that little laugh you did up there on stage and it looked obvious. Now, most people wouldn't have picked up on this who were watching for the main reason that they aren't watching anything but the bride and groom. But some of his close friends picked up on it and realized why he was laughing. Truth be told, he has never been faithful to her and when she isn't around he doesn't make any apologies for it, in fact he gets encouraged at times (not by me though).

 

But it just got me thinking, what if the bride's family noticed that little snicker? I would be mortified. So are there things at a wedding that you've seen where you are just like "Ugh, what a crock"?

Yah i think that at every wedding I go to.

 

But to be honest my cousin got married after being with her boyfriend for like 12 years or something. He's a really good dude and all but he doesn't really believe in marriage and I'm assuming he's seen the darker sides of marriage in his life hence his view point.

 

Anyways, this guy is already basically like family to us, he really is a great dude, but my cousin over the last 5 or 6 years of their relationship had been pushing hard for marriage as she didn't want to have a baby out of wedlock (her religious beliefs). He agreed that he was never going to leave her, he also wanted to have kids and if it'd make her happy he'd do it under certain conditions (all reasonable, i.e inexpensive, small wedding).

 

His views on marriage were well known, everyone knew about it. When it came time for him to put the ring on her finger he put it on her right hand instead of the left. The priest was like "uh.....that's the wrong hand, my son". Everyone burst out into hysterical laughter, except for the bride. I'm pretty sure it was a genuine mistake, and you probably had to be there to get the full humour of it but it was so hilarious and incredibly awkward.
