Landlord asked my husband and I to be in their wedding party

So this was ages ago, but I still think it was one of the most bizarre weddings ever I ever attended.

My husband and I were looking for a new apartment and came across a nice two family. The landlords (not married) and their two-year old son lived on the first floor and we lived on the second floor. We became friendly, but we were only living there a year when they asked us to be in their wedding party. We thought it was kind of awkward, but we honestly weren't sure how to say no and it not get uncomfortable.

Well, they planned a HUGE church wedding and reception. She picked an incredibly expensive bridesmaid dress in my absolute least favorite color and it did not look good on me IMHO. Again, I didn't want to be difficult, so I didn't make a fuss.

Her MOH was her soon-to-be SIL, and a friend I never met. The groomsmen consisted of his brother, a friend, and my husband.

Her mother was an A1 biotch. She wanted no part of the planning, but complained about everything. About two months before the wedding, the bride had a huge fight with the groom and he left the house for two days and the SIL threatened to not be in the wedding.

One month before the wedding her mother called me and said that the MOH hadn't planned (or paid) for a shower and she wanted me to organize (and pay) for one. That's where I drew the line and said absolutely not. I reminded her a shower is to help a bride prepare her new home. They already lived together, had a child together, and owned a home. If she wanted her daughter to have a shower, she could plan and pay for it. Needless to say, her "shower" consisted of a BBQ with me, my husband, her father and his wife (not the mother), and the groom's brother. Whatever.

The morning of the wedding, the little one was in rare form from the start of the day. He was supposed to be the ring bearer, which consisted of him walking down the aisle in a tuxedo, sucking on his bottle, and screaming throughout the entire ceremony. I looked at my husband and like he could read my mind "don't pick him up and take him in the back - he's not your responsibility."

The one moment I did feel bad for the bride was when she went to give each of the mothers a rose, but her mother was a no-show at church. I found out later she threatened to not come if the father brought his new wife to the wedding. He brought her. I found out later the mother went right to the reception to wait for everyone to arrive.

Another awkward moment was when my husband and I were trying to decide on what to put in the card as a gift. He said "how about our rent check." lol

After the wedding, they drove home with us b/c they failed to arrange for the limo to bring them home. I helped her get out of her dress and that was it. Very awkward.

A year later we moved out and I heard the following year they were divorced. A total mess from beginning to end.
