  • The Ill-Fated Wedding

  • Too Many Hiccups

  • I’m Glad It’s Over
    During a small wedding, the groom nervously messed up vows three times, ran outside after the kiss, and his alcoholic mother criticized the cake-cutting process. The mother’s boyfriend, who paid for their stay at a winery hotel, was having an affair, adding to the awkward atmosphere.
