Don’t have an open bar at a morning wedding: My shitshow story

This happened several years ago when I first got married, and now it makes me laugh, though at the time it was upsetting.

We decided to have an open bar at our wedding because we wanted our guests to have fun and let loose, and boy did they! Ceremony was at 11am and brunch reception immediately afterwards. Everyone got wasted, like ridiculously drunk:

-One of the groomsmen ended up shirtless in the bathroom trying to fist-fight the DJ for an unknown reason

-The wife of a different groomsman confessed her romantic lesbian feelings for me (the bride) on the dance floor, which I politely declined, so she instead hit on another guest’s wife so aggressively that they got uncomfortable and left

-My own father tripped in the parking lot while drunk during the reception, hit his head and had to have an ambulance called. He insisted that no one tell me but my coordinator fortunately pulled me off the dancefloor and let me know. He was sobbing in the back of the ambulance and apologizing for ruining my wedding. (he was fine btw and it didn’t ruin the wedding, frankly everyone was too drunk to notice)

Oh and we had a wedding crasher who was specifically told not to show up because there wasn’t room, and she did anyway while wearing a white dress. She had to stand awkwardly at the bar during the reception because there were no extra seats.

So yeah don’t do an open bar in the morning 🤣

Bonus story edit: Morning of the wedding I was supposed to get ready at the venue with my bridesmaids and my mom and have a cute getting ready breakfast (my mom was bringing the breakfast stuff) I got there on time and no one else was there yet, almost an hour goes by and I finally have to get ready alone because they are all running so late. Finally they all rush in and by that time it’s too late for any breakfast or any cute getting ready pics with everyone(my photog was already there) TBH in hindsight that pmo more than anything else that went down later that day.

Where’s the video of your wedding? Asking for a friend. 😜
