Excuse me. Are you wedding crashing?

United States
September 4, 2017 11:00pm CST
My fiancé & I attended a wedding over the weekend. Feeling a little overwhelmed in a room with over 250 people, many guests went outside to take a breather, stroll around the winery, use the restrooms, take photos with the photo booth, and then we were questioned by an employee if we were "wedding crashing". I answered "no". She then goes, then tell me the bride and grooms name. Seriously, it's all over the decor but I told her and she apologized and walked away fast. I was annoyed, maybe if they wanted to make sure we weren't wedding crashing or not, they should have more security then to "assume". I also "assume" we weren't the only ones because there was a couple of guests blurting out is this so/so's wedding? as if they were crashing it. Even so, the wedding was about to end in 45 minutes anyway. What is there to crash left. Have you ever crashed a wedding? (Photo is of the winery)

I've never crashed a wedding. We've often joked about doing it, but would never actually do it . Surely it happens, but wrong assumptions can be very offensive to a guest. You have to wonder why they even picked on you guys - it was rude the way they handled that !!

@infatuatedbby I'm glad she heard - she deserved that! If it were my wedding/big party and I found out the employees were being rude to my guests, I'd be pretty mad.

@much2say She could have asked differently too. Like are you here for the bride or groom. I would be like oh the bride, she's my cousin! Like that. She didn't have to say "are you a wedding crasher?" what kind of rude thing to say!

Especially after seeing wedding crashers in movies or tv shows! Yeah, I was going to say... some remark if she escalated but she didn't and quickly left. But I did say she was rude and I am sure she heard. Then I talked in Vietnamese loudly because my uncles were nearby and asked what had happened.

@infatuatedbby There are two types of bars at wedding receptions...cash bars, which mean you have to pay for your drinks, or open bars, which means all the drinks are free. I only crash weddings that offer open bars! If I'm going to liven up their wedding with my presence, then they better be supplying me with free drinks! haha

@infatuatedbby it was fun because my friend and I literally didn't know anyone in the reception so we had to make a story up. Didn't eat that much but I did have a lot of dessert and more than my fair share of booze... followed by lots of dancing with women I barely knew.

Oh wow! Sorry you were accused! But I guess they had a reason to ask if people were crashing.. No, I've never crashed a wedding. Only been to my aunts wedding in 05 at that.

I don't think it was very professional of them to ask. We weren't doing anything suspicious. I was standing with my cousins but we were the ones being singled out. For the price the couple paid for the venue, they should have had stricter rules usually over 200 people, they require you to have a security guard. I have never crashed a wedding. I only see it happen on tv shows or movies, too.

@Courtlynn Yes absolutely they could ask but I didn't have to answer. She didn't have a security badge or a police. Just an employee badge. Typically if someone is barging in, looking suspicious or was being reported as a stranger, then they can mention that. But all we were doing was getting some fresh air and watched my cousins play Jenga.

I haven't tried and will not do it even in the future. I don't want to be put in a situation where you will be asked about this. I don't like being in an awkward situation. I really don't know how to act.

Me neither. I was a tad offended by her assumption and annoyed. She could have re-worded it differently and ask, are you a wedding guest? Or are you looking for the winery entrance. Or something........ and then if I said yes to wedding guest, she can say do you know the groom or bride? Then from there it wouldn't be obvious.

No I've never done it!! My friends accidentally crashed a wedding though..... There's a St Mary's church and a St Mary's Chapel in our city they turned up at the wrong one!! They realised when the groom and groomsmen turned up but by that point they were already sitting in the church!! Had to sit through the entire wedding ceremony as they were too embarrassed to leave.

Oh no! But at least they didn't have the intentions of crashing a wedding purposely though. Just a honest mistake and that was nice they didn't leave and cause a scene too. But definitely an awkward situation for them too.

What exactly is "wedding crashing", attending the wedding without being invited? Of course I never did.

Wedding crashing is when you attend a wedding that you don't know the bride or groom. Usually to free load, get complimentary drinks, maybe eat the food if its buffet style. Or, maybe an ex has feelings and wants to go and ruin the wedding. I have never either.

I've heard if a wedding exceeds 200 people, they're supposed to have security around. But, this one didn't.
