Most couples are showered with congratulations when they announce their engagement, and compliments usually abound on the day of the wedding. But every now and then the couple may encounter a remark that's off-putting, to say the least. Whether it's a jab about wedding expenses or an assertion that the marriage won't last, some people can be truly tactless when it comes to wedding talk.

We asked couples to share the rudest remarks they've heard wedding guests make.

1) "My father-in-law (who has been married five times) shook my husband's (his son's) hand as he passed through our receiving line and said, 'I hope you enjoy being married to a flight attendant more than I did!'"

2) "We had a distant family member ask if my fiancé had enough friends to serve as groomsmen and ushers. He volunteered to fill in if not."

3) "I went to a wedding recently where one of the bridesmaids spent the entire night talking trash about the bride and her family. She kept saying how the bride's dad looked awful and was obviously an alcoholic, and her sister (the maid of honor) had a bad boob job."

4) "I was at a wedding where, at the altar, the justice of the peace said, 'Time for the solemn vows,' and then said under her breath, ', even though we all know they're not so solemn.'"

5) "My friend got married to a wonderfully sweet man a few months ago, and at the wedding reception, one of the women got so drunk that she said, very loudly, 'Well, the good news about the groom being so hideous is that they should have gorgeous children! Looks always skip a generation!'"

6) "My fiancé's great aunt said, 'How dare you!' for picking her birthday for our wedding day. She then asked if we would move it, or if we would at least acknowledge it was her birthday and do something special for her-̶ that was the first time I met her!"

7) "Someone said, 'We can't make it to the wedding because of high gas prices.'"

"I have a friend who married a man 15 years her senior. This apparently made no sense to the priest, who made many inappropriate comments during his homily, such as, 'A good wife adds 10 years to her husband's life. Let's hope she adds 20 to 30.'"

9) "I was told by my bridesmaid that I shouldn't be having my bridal shower in a place that I couldn't afford for my wedding."

10) "There was a guest who got angry at the servers for not getting one of each of the three flavors of cake, and they went to the bride to fix the problem. When the bride responded with, 'There is only enough for everyone to have one piece of cake,' the guest stormed out. Just think: A friendship ruined over a piece of cake!"

11) "At my wedding there was a woman (the mother of one of our out-of-town guests) who nabbed me at the reception and proceeded to tell me all about her son's wedding. She said, 'You look very nice, but my daughter-in-law was undoubtedly the most beautiful bride ever, and I've never seen a couple more in love than my son and daughter-in-law.'"

12) "My fiancé and I were registering for gifts when he saw an old friend's mother. He introduced me as his fiancée and told her our plans of getting married in June. The first thing out of her mouth was, 'Oh, is this good news?' Who says that?"

13) "At my friend's second wedding (her first one ended in divorce), a guest said to the bride (with the groom present and other guests within earshot), 'Well I hope you thanked your parents. I can't believe they gave you another lavish reception considering your first marriage didn't work out.'"

14) "At a friend's wedding, the mother-in-law saw her soon-to-be daughter-in-law in her ivory, strapless, embroidered lace wedding dress for the first time just before the ceremony. Her reaction? 'Is that your wedding dress?'"

If you have heard any crazy, funny, naughty, or rude remarks at your wedding or someone else's feel free to share here.

Oh gosh

I warned everybody before the wedding. Nobody wanted to die so they all behaved

Gerald's wedding.
Gerald's best friend's speech:
I've known the groom ever since we first went to school togethr at the age of eight years and you know what? he hasn't changed one bit--except for the fact that he didn't have this beard then.

Gerald's father-in-law's speech:
I'll like to say a few words about Martin. As far as I'm concerned, my daughter couldn't have chosen a more delightful, charming, witty, responsible, wealthy--let's not deny that--well placed, good looking and fertile young man than Martin as a husband. I therefore ask this question: Why the hell did she marry Gerald instead?
