Personally, this one:
-The newlyweds had theoretically been together for 5 years but saw each other so little that they were almost strangers to each other.
-The bridegroom discovered only belatedly that the one he was going to marry was a spoiled child submissive to her mother.
-The groom wanted children and the bride said she would think about it, but still hadn’t made up her mind on the wedding day.
-Everyone was originally supposed to sleep at a friend’s house, who suddenly put the dishes in the big ones, but the mother of the bride decided on a whim that no, her daughter would not sleep in said house, although obviously without notifying the owners.
-3 people (the bride, her mother and a guest) ended up spending the night in the village hall. The mother slept glued to her daughter and the guest had to stay awake all night for lack of a place to lie down.
-During the feast, the guests were of different origins and gathered in homogeneous ethnic groups who stared at one another.
-The DJ only played Senegalese music, which obviously only appealed to guests of Senegalese origin.
-The mother of the bride has a disconcertingly fragile ego, preferring to refuse to answer a question rather than admit that she does not know.
It was an old co-workers wedding. I knew he was religious but didn’t know how far that rabbit hole goes. The whole ceremony was centered around breeding children to join God’s army, all while the bride’s dad was standing there holding her by the shoulders until finally he gave “control of her to you (husband)”. It was fucked up and we didn’t bother going to the reception.
Wow. Good call on not going to the reception. You might have been kidnapped and brainwashed, and who knows what would have been in the punch.
The even weirder thing was this coworker quit his job a week after the wedding.
Yeah, that is eerie.
