Weddings are occasions that many people look forward to. The celebrations are ideal for creating memories with loved ones, but there can also be awkward moments, and people have shared theirs.

Online users took to Reddit to share the most embarrassing moments they encountered at weddings. Here are the eight most embarrassing moments they had.

The Worst Thing to Say to a Bride or Groom

One user revealed that her paternal family referred to her dad's marriage as his first "and would say things to my mom like, "When you divorce..."

The parents have been married for 31 years and shared eight children together. The Original Poster (OP) said the couple has been through challenging times but are still going strong and are madly in love.

One other person disclosed that while attending a wedding, the attendees took post-event photos. The groom knocked out the flowers out of the bride's hands.

"Without thinking, I said, 'Gee, you just deflowered her,'" said OP. The moment was captured on camera and featured in the videos sent to families.

Someone else shared that at their friend's uncle's wedding, one individual said the couple should look at each other in the eyes to see "the love, the compassion, the joy radiating off your partner and realize you are now looking at the person who is most likely to kill you."

One other Reddit user divulged that he told his wife at their wedding that he did not care much about whether he disliked her but that they would not get a divorce for the next five years.

"We hit five, and I asked her if she wanted to renew the contract for another five years. She said yes," OP further explained on the platform.

Meanwhile, one online user revealed that her mother-in-law snubbed her wedding and told her husband that marriages do not last. Still, the couple made it to 25 years.

In another post, someone shared that they were a photographer at a wedding where the groom had two children from a previous marriage. OP was in the bridal suite when the bridal part was about to begin, and all the bridesmaids wore matching silk robes.

The groom's daughter (who was a flower girl) was also present. OP was asked to take a group photo of the bridal party, and one of the women stood awkwardly to the side, prompting the online user to wave her into the picture.

"The room got DEAD silent, and the bride was like, 'Oh no, we don't want her in the photos.'" The woman was the groom's former wife, who was there to look after the flower girl. OP said they should not have given the ex a matching bridesmaid robe. "I wanted to crawl in a hole and die," said OP.

The Cringiest Things Guests Have Seen the Bride & Groom Do

As for the cringiest things guests have seen a bride and groom do, one Reddit user shared that he once attended his girlfriend's friend's wedding in Upstate New York.

Amid the wedding ceremony, the minister's phone rang, and he answered it. "It was God, God wanted to talk to the groom," OP wrote, adding the conversation lasted for a few minutes, and the ceremony continued.

Another encounter involved a bridezilla. One OP revealed on Reddit that he was a videographer at a wedding, and the bride was "self-centered" by keeping everyone waiting at her outdoor ceremony for over an hour.

She was getting pampered while also taking her time going through her vows while guests were enduring the heat of the full summer sun. Finally, the bride's aunt stepped in and politely reminded her that people had been waiting on her for over an hour, and she threw a tantrum.

"[Screaming] 'I feel like everyone is forgetting this is MY DAY!!!'" OP revealed. The bride eventually got outside, and one of the groomsmen passed out from heat exhaustion.

When the officiant asked the couple whether they should pause the ceremony to ensure the man was okay, the bride said no, adding he was being "dramatic. Once the lovebirds headed back up, an ambulance arrived on the scene to tend to the groomsman.
