OK. I had a rather bizarre wedding experience, so now I am interested to hear your wedding stories... You know, the ones that make your eyes pop...:shock::shock:

Here's mine...

Before the wedding began I was told I could store my equipment cases in the groomsmen's dressing room. Near the end of the reception, I decided to grab my remote shutter, as I had a shot I wanted to try to get and needed it to do so.

I walk into the room, not expecting anyone to be there, reach over and flick on the light and hear, "Oh SH!!T!". I look toward the voices and find a Bridesmaid and a Groomsman on the Table! Her legs straight up in the air and his pants around his ankles! They didn't stop, he just said, "Give me a minute!"

I couldn't believe it. At a CHURCH in a Sunday School Room... I left the room and quickly realized that I was apparently the second person to discover them as word was spreading quickly. The Bride was TICKED OFF!!

That was a first for me at a wedding. I have experienced that as a room service waiter, but not as a photographer!

So what have you experienced that surprised you, or just makes a good story!

I told my wife that if I had really been on top of it, I would have hit the * button and popped off a flash... I bet that would have gotten them up off the table!!

I hope you took a piccy and popped it in their album...Only kidding!
At least it was the groomsman and not the groom? These days I'll pretty much belive anything can happen at a wedding.
