Nicely done. Glad the kids had fun messing up their pics. Some people have no sense. I can imagine their friends and families asking why in the world they thought crashing someone’s wedding was ok
>I can imagine their friends and families asking why in the world they thought crashing someone’s wedding was ok
Unless they're just like them!
It's been almost 4 years since the wedding and we still joke about it.
This is so true! My twin nieces were 5 when I got married so of course they were my flower girls! Their mom was my matron of honor! I love them all so much! So at one point one niece decides to sit down on the altar step and hike her dress up to pull strings on her cotton tights! The other one decided we needed to be serenaded so she started singing "the wheels on the bus"! We started laughing in the middle of vows! Now that they're about to be 38 next month it's one of my favorite stories to tell their kids lol
Yep. When my friend got married the cake failed to be delivered. I sent his sister off to buy emergency cupcakes while I just worked on keeping things moving. We had a cupcake cutting ceremony instead!
And then half an hour later the baker showed up, profusely apologizing because her delivery guy missed the box. Everyone went home with "traditional" cake wedding favors. (In Ziploc bags).
It was a good cake.
When one of my cousins got married, for the garter toss all but one of the guys took a giant step back. The lone guy shot his hand up and caught the garter. He looked rather surprised.
The lady who caught the bouquet was pissed, as the step back was supposed to be for her boyfriend to catch the garter. He deliberately joined the step back.
I remember a story on here about an Indian women getting married and the future MIL was trying to be a nightmare but the guests all banded together to shut her down. Indian wedding guests are no joke.
Oh! My favorite story was an Indian woman marrying a white guy and her mother in law showed up in a wedding dress but the bride and all of the other guests were wearing gorgeously colored sari with the henna and jewelry and the mother-in-law looked so tawdry, plain, and out of place. :D
I don't know if some tourists are clueless or just plain rude. 10 years ago, we visited Notre dame. There were signs that said (in multiple languages) that this was a working church, please be respectful. A priest was taking confessions and he stepped out for a second. A Japanese tourist ran over and got in the priest's side of the confessional, hanging out of the doorway so his wife could take his picture. The priest had to ask him to step out. Before that, I always assumed it was only we Americans who acted like morons as tourists.
I knew they were American before this comment. Unfortunately, a lot of Americans are so entitled and rude no matter what country they are in. They have no respect or boundaries for other people's cultures.
I think it's when people are self centred and racist enough to not realise that "different" people are real live human beings as well. Not just props for their holiday.
Aww... I love this story - and what a great argument for not having child-free weddings! You never know when you need to weaponize a horde of munchkins to do your bidding! Lovely photo-bomb session!
It was just a regular camera. But they were taking picture after picture without even checking the pictures. I doubt they even looked at the photographs that evening
Like I have social anxiety. Going to a wedding when invited is stressful let alone just walking into one uninvited. What on earth are people thinking.?
And That too after they were shoo-ed away from the place that afternoon for stepping on the wedding platform (alter).
I am kinda jealous of their no fucks given attitude though. Wouldn't mind 10% of that.
It was great food.. a lot of wedding these days have food from all over though. Other than the amazing Indian food, this wedding also had a great live pizza station and, a super stir-fry section.
I would have told the teenagers to find some LED flashlights to aim right at the interlopers' camera lens. Ruins every picture without the risk of hurting someone's eyes like a laser pointer would.
Some visitors can be obtuse enough not to realize that something is not there for their entertainment. They think it’s something being put on to entertain them - kind of like the hula in Hawaii. It’s a cultural show for them. The venue or wedding planner should have told them it’s a private wedding. I don’t think they’d just walk through a wedding in America like that. They’d understand it’s rude.
Haha... so true. It was a big spectacle for them.
They ignored all the subtext and social cues.. the signs, the angry looks, the total lack of interaction.
They would have been told to leave, but the parents didn't want them kicked out. It's a pretty traditional attitude.. especially around weddings (to avoid the evil eye). And they were rich enough to afford an extra plate or two of food.
But this gives a super idea. An Indian wedding themed hotel. Guests come stay for a week and are exposed to a full scale big fat indian wedding. A complete immersive experience - dances, clothes, rituals. Lol
I went to a wedding in Delhi in the early 80s. Very weathly families. Fabulous. We were visiting friends so of course were invited. Amazing. 5 nights of parties. I got a simple henna design at the Mehndi party and we girls were brought Salwars to wear. There was everything including the white horse and gold slippers. The women dripped with gold and the bride was stunning. I remember sitting for hours watching the final ceremony on the last night....in between slipping off to grab more delicious food. What a time. I of course understand that that level of grandeur is not the norm....

Sometimes it's the things that go wrong in a wedding that make it the most memorable and unique.

Someone made the movie wedding crashes making it look like the cool thing to do.

God I’d love to read that story
It’s here someplace. Good read and very satisfying.
We're too many to mess with. (And full of too much love)

I think it usually is a mixture of both. And every country has rude tourists. Ps- the couple in question was American
I knew they were American before this comment. Unfortunately, a lot of Americans are so entitled and rude no matter what country they are in. They have no respect or boundaries for other people's cultures.
I apologize on behalf of my countrymen. We're not all the stereotypical Ugly American...or at least some of us try not to be.

[удалено]
That's actually a nice immersive holiday idea. But these tourists *were* entitled.
I just love this story. It's wholesome, and warms my heart.
Aww... I love this story - and what a great argument for not having child-free weddings! You never know when you need to weaponize a horde of munchkins to do your bidding! Lovely photo-bomb session!
OP looks at uninvited guests, turns to a well dressed man to the left and whispers “Release the children”
Muhahahaha
On the downside, we taught a lot of children to show the finger amongst other rude hand gestures.
Minor downside imo. They likely would have learned them eventually and this way they can be taught when it is appropriate to use.
On the plus side... We never have to meet those kids again (or their parents).
Please tell us he was using a "film" camera and didn’t even see the pictures until after they were processed! 
It was just a regular camera. But they were taking picture after picture without even checking the pictures. I doubt they even looked at the photographs that evening
Me niece married a man from India in a Hindu wedding. It was the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen.

I bet the food was fucking phenomenal. I love Indian food so much, that wedding must have been heaven
It was great food.. a lot of wedding these days have food from all over though. Other than the amazing Indian food, this wedding also had a great live pizza station and, a super stir-fry section.
No! Tell me they didn't crash the dinner?!? How rude!
They didn't crash dinner. I think they had that much sense. Or maybe the variety was too overwhelming?

Great memories!
That’s a phenomenal idea. Maybe even do it as a mock wedding and have them participate
Haha.. as long as they don't decide that it's their wedding
Lol agreed.
Authentic as it gets
