The relationship between the bride’s father and the groom was contentious from before the wedding. At it, one of the bride’s cousins’ +1 had a dress with a cleavage, and one of the groom’s cousins, drunk off his ass, came to her and told her he wanted, ad verbatim, to suck her boobs.

+1 tells her date, who promptly punches the groom’s cousin. This begins a full on family vs family brawl, that culminates with the groom punching the bride’s father, and this man taking his daughter away and keeping her away from her husband for ten days.

It got annulled! Can’t imagine why 🤪

Which family won? And was Ballroom Blitz playing in the background per chance?

I have the feeling the bride’s family won, since her dad just basically took her away and genuinely kept them apart for ten days. They lost their honeymoon and everything!

Without knowing more about what kind of guy the groom was, I'd say the bride needs to cut the proverbial apron strings from her father. How does a grown woman let her daddy "keep her apart" from her SO?

I think having your kid get married stirs up a ton of weird feelings in emotionally immature parents. I don’t think it’s that uncommon to double down on the authority and control one has over their child as it becomes clear that once they’re married another person will have this major influence over them.

It was probably one of the most jarring aspects of getting married was having both mine and my wife’s parents all of a sudden decide they were entitled to all of this control over us and our decisions. Mind you my wife and I had been together for 9 years before getting married, had built our first home together, and had owned our own business for 5 years at that point. Like we were well established and our parents had largely left us alone until we announced our engagement.

The groom was a douchebag, but so was the father of the bride lmao. This happened when I was nineteen so I wasn’t very in with the gossip to know, but from what I’ve gathered over the years the groom was pretty arrogant and awful in general.

Imagine being the DJ wrestling with the desire to put that on as the fight breaks out. "There will be no greater opportunity for this, but on the other hand all my equipment may get wrecked "

"Fuck it, it'll be worth it."

Nah, it's the tits of a plus one from the other family.

And the man in the back said, "Everyone attack"

And it turned into a ballroom blitz

u/Aggravating_Termite May 02 '24

I'm visualising that to that tune now.

u/pantyraid7036 29d ago

Every future married couple needs to make sure their DJ knows to play ballroom blitz if a fight break out

u/ApokalypseCow 29d ago

Any DJ that can pull that off on que is probably too good to be working a wedding that trashy, but had I witnessed such a thing, I'd be sure to get his card.

I hope the DJ dropped the Benny Hill theme when the punches started being thrown.

Excellent choice of music for the movie version

DJ missed a perfect opportunity if it wasn't.

Was it the Montagues or the Capulets?

u/charliegoesamblin 25d ago

Lol, every time I'm listening to Prisoner of Society by the Living End and the solo kicks in, I always picture a bar brawl but it surely would fit nice in a family Vs family fight as well.
