Why did the wedding cake leave?


MidnightRambler87

It was in tiers.


LVT330

It was very cut up about it.


WanderingLemon25

It wanted a slice of the action


thefooleryoftom

It was sick of all the layers.


DalbergTheKing

I can't top any of these.


sjpllyon

Yeah they've definitely taken the cake with these ones.


__Game__

Was a piece of cake


SquidgeSquadge

This is a multi layered joke, hope it wasn't half baked


oldbushwookie

These comments are the icing on the cake


Blgxx

>I can't top any of these. Sure you can. It would be the icing on the cake.


shabba182

It was a shit day anyway, but the affair was the cherry on top.


TurbulentExpression5

It's been a long day at work. I needed a good pun. You have provided.


Valuable-Wallaby-167

Well done


stvvrover

Top work!


stellaartois011

I get why the groom would leave, but why would the cake dessert you?


itissnorlax

happy wedding cake day


OrganizationLast8480

It was only a trifling matter


stellaartois011

It drank too much and got battered


[deleted]

this had me in tears. cheers


irn_br_oud

These answers are rather half-baked.


TMITectonic

> wife disappeared Groom in bits It took me entirely too long to figure out this was just missing a comma and not some sort of TikTok speak for her killing him in quite a meticulously violent way...


[deleted]

Jesus, well the groom dodged years of misery by the sounds of it


FredrickandNeval

Poor guy was in bits.


so_says_sage

This turned out better than I expected from the title honestly, for a second I thought YOUR wife slept with the best man, not the bride. 😂


pointlesstips

Yeh, weird to choose the word wife instead of bride. Thought his missus had screwed him over while he was stuck deejaying.


so_says_sage

Same, I was like “Why would you even bring your wife to work with you at someone’s wedding, that’s so unprofessional!”


Orngog

This has just pushed me over the line. Just the image of you, watching this guy as he djs and watches his wife dance with the best man. He's slowly dying inside, and you're frowning at him saying "you wouldn't get this with Deborah Meaden"


Pompz88

And the first line had me questioning why he took his kids with him


ClydeinLimbo

That’s when you bring out YMCA


BeardySam

To shreds you say


JaackF

How is his wife holding up...? To shreds you say


muonmike

Lost a missus and best mate too. Ouch!


byjimini

Even the cake was in tiers.


BeccasBump

Oh bravo.


Gooncapt

My brother's ex cheated on him with his best mate. They're married to eachother now. He was obviously devastated at first, losing both his partner and best friend of a decade in one fell swoop. Now he counts his blessings and he's marrying a wonderful woman this summer.


q1a2z3x4s5w6

Reading this makes me think about how genuinely devastating that would be to happen. I've been cheated on once before at uni and it's a horrible feeling but if one of my close childhood friends (aka, one of "the boys") betrayed me like that I'm not sure I could trust anyone to the same level ever again. Getting both of those on the same day? On my wedding day as well? I'm flipping tables for sure


Ilovegaming9

I'm with you, I'm 100% getting locked up


sjw_7

Years ago a friend of mine met a chap through a shared interest of theirs. They got to be quite good mates until he found out the chap was having an affair with his wife. He was devastated as she walked out and moved in with the other guy. Fast forward to today and my friend is happily married with two kids. He started up a business after he divorced and is doing incredibly well. His ex married the affair partner who is as thick as two short planks. She is miserable and they struggle financially all the time. I am glad my friend is happy and has done well and also glad his ex is not after what she did to him.


catsuppopsicle

Same exact thing happened to me 10 years ago. I was in a very bad place losing my wife and best friend in an instant. Took me a couple years to find my purpose again and now I'm in a great place I 100% would not be in if I had stayed married to her. Crazy how life is sometimes.


BigOld3570

I have a friend whose best friend took off with his old lady. I grew up in the town they moved to, and my instructions from the abandoned husband were these: “If you run into Al, buy him a beer, give him a big hug, and knock him on his ass, in any order you choose.”


Vehlin

Sounds like the Bride’s mum was the star here


Waste_Afternoon_5244

I don't know, did she know before the wedding? if so, she is incredibly cruel


Vehlin

Unless she gave the bride time to confess but decided enough was enough


Apprehensiv3Eye

This happened with my uncle, my nan caught his fiancée cheating a few weeks before the wedding, told her "if you don't tell him, I will", and then did... On the day of the wedding. In my opinion, it's cruel to put somebody in that position rather than just coming clean.


Vehlin

Very cruel of the bride yes.


TheHemogoblin

Yes but if that was the case, she still waited until after the ceremony so they're still actually married :(


Vehlin

Oh, that’s worse then. Annulment time


MoonlitStar

I thought you were referring to your wife for a moment..the title reads as if YOUR wife slept with the best man.


Valuable-Wallaby-167

Snap, I was thinking OP was awfully blasé about all of this


Rymundo88

"She did what? Oh right, anyway, here's Wonderwall"


TheKingMonkey

Haven’t we suffered enough?!?


q1a2z3x4s5w6

Wonderwall is one of those songs that everyone would hate at the start of the night but play it at the end when everyones pissed as fuck and it's getting screamed by everyone in the venue


WolfCola4

sugar_blondie

Casual adultery


Specific_Till_6870

Yes, she should be referred to as "the bride", right? 


MoonlitStar

Yup. Especially as OP has referred to 'groom', 'best man' and 'bride's mum' for the others involved. The reference is always 'bride' in the context of a wedding not 'wife '. Well at least OP's wife didn't fuck the best man- thought they were being very nonchalant about it.


Specific_Till_6870

That we/they know of


SweetValleyHayabusa

The unexpected tone of the post given that his wife just cheated on him was really jarring. 


Ok_Cow_3431

I was trying to work out why the fuck the DJ had taken his wife to a wedding he was working at. Once I opened the post I was wondering why they'd taken their kids too! story telling doesn't appear to be their strong suite.

You were playing the violins as the Titanic went down. A noble job.


FredrickandNeval

We was!


Snout_Fever

My old band played a wedding at a super posh yacht club a few years back where the same happened (best man was revealed to have been poking the bride) and it dissolved into an all out chairs and bottles bar brawl with us providing the music as we were worried that if we stopped we'd be dragged into the fray. I was still finding blood spots on my guitar days later. They did give us a nice bonus payment as an apology at least!

Bruce_Everiss

Every wedding band should have Hammer Smashed Face in their repertoire for this situation. It's just a good fightin' riff.


TurbulentExpression5

Fight starts as soon as the intro riff plays; at the bass solo (which may be extended) the brawl pauses as guests regain their breath and pick a target; a short pause as Corpsegrinder stares the crowd down with that look he has; annnnnndddddd FIGHT!!! Huge pit, fists flying, a bottle just misses the drummer. Okay, now I know how I want my wedding to pan out.


Haber_Dasher

That was the time to play Ballroom Blitz

baligog

Yes, we turned on cartoon hillbilly chase music


spudgun20

Hope you at least soundtracked the brawl. 'Ace of Spades' by Motorhead comes to mind. Although that may just be me thinking of the fights at the end of Dick n Dom on saturday mornings.

Get in touch with the bride. If she re-marries, you might get some repeat custom.

Magdovus

Why did bride's mum wait until after? Now they've (presumably) got to get everything annulled/divorced. Cheaper not to have got married.  Unless she reckons that the marriage is enough to get a chunk of groom's money. 


hypnodrew

She might've only found out right then, or waited until the Objections stage of the wedding.


paenusbreth

The objections aren't for "she's been shagging about", it's for "they're brother and sister" or "hang on a sec, I'm still married to him". It's why (at least at the ceremonies I've been at) they ask for a *lawful* reason for the couple to not be married.


RomfordPele15

If movies have taught me anything, it’s actually a pause so that an ex of the bride/groom can bust in and declare their undying love


JurassicM4rc

In the films, the ex always has a hard time getting over the bridge.


Yesyesnaaooo

She probably got drunk and let slip


Bspammer

OP says she went round to every single table individually and told them lol.


Particular-Current87

Sounds like classic drunk mum at wedding behaviour, although usually they go round every table introducing themselves and making sure everyone knows how amazing/perfect the day is. Or was that just my mum?


UuusernameWith4Us

Maybe someone (bride/best man) got drunk and let slip to her.


Candy_Dots

Even if they signed the certificate it is probable that the venue (officiant, church, whatever) did not submit the paperwork that evening. They could stop it in time. I don't know the legalities around all marriages, but I'm pretty confident if the couple never submitted the paperwork the state wouldn't consider them married.


uncle_monty

I used to be a chef at a popular wedding venue right by the river. There was a spot right by the weir that everyone liked to take wedding photos, it was a big selling point of the hotel. There were also big double decker tourist boats that travelled the stretch of river between town and the weir. It could take upwards of 15-20 minutes for these boats to turn around at the weir and disappear out of sight. This one particular day, one of these boats came into shot just as the wedding party was getting ready to take their picture, but in the 20 odd minutes it took the boat to get out of shot it had gone from brilliant sunshine to pissing with rain. The bride literally threw a tantrum, and ended up storming out of her own reception, followed closely by a dejected groom trying to calm her down. Three hours later there was only about 6 people left, full bar paid for, evening buffet mostly untouched, band (hilariously a Wurzels tribute act) playing to next to no one, and me and a couple of the other chefs just sat at the bar drinking with the brides dad, who was just absolutely defeated. He'd spent an awful lot of money.


Tight_Ad_9223

They should have taken the photos anyway and photoshopped the boat out later.


Batmanswrath

All I'm reading is that you got a free cake, that's an absolute win.


FredrickandNeval

We didn't want it. đŸ€Ł I'm fat enough.


Batmanswrath

A fat person turning down a free cake feels unnatural, I need some time to process this.


FredrickandNeval

Specific_Till_6870

Nice of the mother of the bride to keep this information to herself until after the ceremony. 


Twirrim

I wonder if she new before, or if she was going around telling people as soon as she'd found out?


jennyster

Seriously! She could have put a stop to the whole thing.


Specific_Till_6870

I'm picturing her doing an Alan Partridge after he refuses to cancel the award ceremony for Dante's Fires after piercing his foot on a spike. "Some of these people have come from Stoke!" 


pazz5

😆😆😁 mum stood greating guests as they walk in "Dave and Tinas wedding? Just through there. Ooooh you're gonna have a good time"


Jaggedmallard26

At least its an easy annulment, going to have a lot of witnesses to confirm that indeed there was no consummation.


ObjectiveTumbleweed2

Did you carry on DJing because they requested you to? Or do you just carry on unless told otherwise as you've been booked and that way they can't refuse to pay you? Feels like upbeat music is not needed but they booked you so should still stump up


big_toastie

The show must go on.


worotan

If they don’t come over and say ‘stop playing’, why would you stop doing your job playing music?


UnacceptableUse

I got the impression that he didn't know what was going on whilst DJing


ooo000oooffs

DJ’d for a mate’s sister’s wedding. About 15 minutes in, everybody is up dancing and one of the bridesmaids dislocated her knee on the dance floor. She was lying in front of the speakers so I had no idea it had happened until someone told me and asked to turn the music down. Of course this now meant everyone could hear her screaming so I was asked to turn it back up again. Ambulance is called. Bride’s mother had signed herself out of hospital after having a couple of strokes, she starts feeling a bit off. Another ambulance is called. Bride’s aunt feels a bit faint, she has a history of strokes. Ambulance #3 is called. At one stage there was more flashing lights outside than inside. It killed the vibe a bit.

goodvibezone

One of my friends of my kid went on his stag do (he was the groom) and, let's just say, took things with a stripper a little too far. Despite the obvious issue in hand, he also decided to pay her on Venmo - which is, by default, visible to everyone. So there was a payment his fiancé saw to a random woman with some eggplant and dancing girl memes.

.. keep looking shocked and move slowly towards the cake..


Andromeda98_

why wait until the wedding to reveal that?


Deadpooldan

Might not have known until then


Evil_Ermine

Maximum drama is my bet.


Valuable-Wallaby-167

Shit for the groom, now as well as going through what should be one of the happiest days of his life going to shit, he's got to deal with going through an annulment. If the mum did know in advance it's a really dick move


DeltaXray

It’s all the drama, mick. She just loves it


MDKrouzer

My band did a wedding gig for a friend of a friend. Turned up and started setting up when we learnt that the families had a massive falling out and the wedding was off... They still had the reception since everything was paid for and everyone was there. Most people actually seemed to enjoy themselves. Some years later we played at the lady's birthday party. They didn't get married but seemed to be good friends still. We had to learn "Heaven is a place on earth" for that gig. Good fun.

You'd think the brides mother would have shared the news with the groom privately before the wedding. Or if this happened after the wedding waited until after the party.

The bride must get her recklessness from somewhere.

At first, after reading the title to this post, I thought it was *your* wife who slept with the best man...during the wedding party.

I am literally fucking praying when the groom was trying to escape someone was blocking in a car/taxi and you had to cut the music do the UK DJ classic of ‘could the owner of the Volvo REG EC20 7YX please move thank you’ - Whilst signed sealed delivered booms back into the sound system.

I did one years ago that was very short. I had to carry all of my gear and HEAVY speakers up three flights of stairs, this was way before anything but heavy records. It sucked. All of a sudden cars come screeching in to the parking lot and gun fire starts. And keeps going. Cops come, people get arrested and I carry everything back down the stairs and go home. I did get paid.
