your stag & hen party stories

Whacky Sports would love to hear about your hen, stag and wedding experiences. Comical, embarrassing, unexpected, naughty or just downright odd the best ones will get posted on our site. Don't forget you can change the names to protect the not so innocent!
We'll get the ball rolling with a couple of the bizarre requests we've had for activities: naked quad biking and target shooting (the groom being an avid naturist apparently) circus knife throwing (the groom having the knives thrown at him) Sometimes we wonder about you...

Wedding Story

My friend Natalie got married in a marquee at an Air force base. Nat's elderly grand father really wanted to take part in the ceremony in some way so she and her husband-to be agreed to let him play a pre-recorded version of 'Here comes the bride' for her grand entrance on his electronic keyboard synthesiser that he was particularly fond of. He was all rigged up to the speaker system and all he had to do was press a button and the music would start. Unfortunately just as Nat entered the marquee Granddad got a bit confused and pressed the wrong button on the keyboard and instead of a nice bit of classical Mendelssohn, techno music blared through the marquee turning it into a rave tent! It was hilarious especially since it took him a while to work out how to turn the music off again! Poor Nat nearly tripped over her dress as she was laughing so much, Needless to say Grandad wasn't called upon for the evening cabaret!

Hen Night Story

My story should serve as a reminder that there should be a list of 'no go' topics of conversation for hen nights. We were having a really great night and were rounding the evening off back at the hotel with some wine and a girlie chat when one of the hens mentioned really casually and almost innocently that she'd slept with the groom just a few months earlier. Needless to say jaws dropped, tears were shed and this little gem killed off the evening rather abruptly! The girl's defence was that she thought that the bride knew that everybody had slept with her husband to be…obviously not! Yes the big day did go ahead and no the girl in question wasn't there!

The Church Service

The funniest wedding I went to was the son of a family friend. It all started so well, the groom was in the church, the bride had turned up and every one was in their seats. Then as a pre wedding appetiser the whole church got to listen to the vicar pep talking the bride in stereo around the church (he’d forgotten his mic was on!) Then mid way through the service we were treated to a caterwauling distant cousin murdering Ave Maria whilst the whole church stifled fits of giggles and to top the day off the bride spent the rest of the celebrations in tears after her brother announced he didn’t like the food so took himself off for a Big Mac and Fries!!

French Weddings

My family used to live in France and a few years ago we travelled back over to the wedding of a family friend’s daughter. It had been a while since we’d been to a wedding so my mother, three sisters and myself had packed new outfits and of course the biggest hats we could find, determined to look our best. Then we took our seats in church only to realise that we were the only 5 out of 200 wearing hats (the French don’t wear them to weddings)! After 12 hours of “ah you mus’ be zhe eenglish!” we decided that maybe we weren’t quite as continental as we thought! Though we did manage to teach them a thing or two about English culture (namely the actions to YMCA)… classy!
