Wedding Disaster: Drunken Guest Takes Off His Pants And Gets Arrested

You might want to reconsider that open bar at your wedding reception -- because you could end up with a belligerent, pants-less wedding guest on your hands.

That was the case for a pair of UK newlyweds, who ended up calling the local police when the brother of the bride, 20-year-old Jason Ellis Brealey, became disorderly at their April 29 wedding.

According to the Buxton Advertiser, police arrived at the reception to find an intoxicated Brealey on a table -- without his pants -- being restrained by another guest. The local paper reports that Brealey was "verbally abusive, shouting and swearing" and that he "wouldn't calm down," despite the fact that young children were present at the reception.

Police eventually arrested Brealey, who ended up lunging at one of the officers on the way to the police station.

Brealey later apologized to the court: “I would like to say I am really sorry," he said. “I had not been out for a while and got too drunk.” He was fined $316 (£200).

Unfortunately, Brealey isn't the only out-of-control wedding guest in the news. Just last month, an Ohio guest named Brooke Burke made headlines after she started a nasty brawl with the bride (no, not that Brooke Burke). Burke was charged with assault and disorderly conduct.

While every bride wants her Big Day to be perfect, unexpected mishaps do happen. Click through the slideshow below to see readers' top 15 wedding disaster stories, then share your own nuptial "fails" by adding a slide.

Well said Rick. The simple inexpensive weddings are the ones where the couple will still be married 40 tears down the line. What I'm basically saying is the more LAVISH the wedding - the GREATER the chance of divorce.

Do put things in context. We know of a wedding where the father of the bride suffered a heart attack and died during the reception.

It is not the booze at your wedding, it is the caliber of guests you invited. We all have liquor at our events - no fights - maybe just helping Uncle Neil to the car for Aunt Mary to drive home.

A few years ago while working as a police officer I was called to a reception where a large fight broke out. Seems the sister of the Groom got intoxicated and wanted to go to bed with three brothers of the Bride. Two of the brothers were married and one single. All the brothers were sober but following her around like a dog in heat. Two Uncles intervened and rescued the Bridesmaid which made her angry and the three brothers being valiant started the fist fight with the two Uncles. By the time I arrived others in the group broke up the fight and had everyone seperated and the Mother and Father of the Bridesmaid had her in a car and took her home. Fotunately no one wanted charges filed so it was just a matter of keeping the combatants apart till they cooled off and everything turned out OK except for the two married Brothers who had to get rides home because their wives left them stranded. They were over 50 miles from home.

My husband got "too hot" to wear his rented tux towards the end of our reception & in our departure photos he was wearing shorts & a t-shirt while I followed behind him in my wedding dress.

My dad showed up late & drunk at my 3 months pregnant sister's wedding & she had to practically carry him down the aisle. She was so happy that he was "giving her away" to a better man.

When I was younger I went to a big wedding in Pasadena California with all the hoi paloi snobby people (from the LA legal community). I hate those kind of people, who want you to know how important they are, judges, prosecutors, etc. My other half brought her sister along. The sister is one of the most beautiful girls in the world but, alas, no brains. After I had 5-7 drinks, just waiting until when we could get out of there, I see her sister struggling on the dance floor with this drunk guy. He was grabbing her behind, falling all over her and, wouldn't let her come back to the table. I walked up to them and said "Hey chump, why not let the young lady go back to her table?" He said FU! I started walking back to my table when something came over me. It was like "as if from another world!" I turned and ran back to him and punched him so hard it picked him up off his feet. His lawyer buddies grabbed me, picked me up and, ejected me from the hotel. My girlfriend and her sister were screaming at me saying I was the jerk. That marriage didn't last two years and, for some reason they blamed me for giving them a bad omen? From this experience I learned not to go to weddings and drink. Come to think of it, I wasn't invited to many weddings after this?

Alcohol; itensifies emotions. (Generaly speaking) 1. I've seen guys come in a club in the mood to be happy and singing...Can't get them to stop . Which is ok if they can sing LOL
2. Converesly, I've seen guys come in a club looking sour faced already. ( Had a fight with the little woman?) It's like.. "Gonna be trouble here tonight."
3. Someone's looking like they want some "luvin" .. They'll start trying out for the best looking woman in the room and work their way down from the "10's" to the "9's" and so on till something female seems interested.
Sounds like you started out being # 2 because you didn't even want to be there in the first place, then you met up with a # 3 with bad manners, and>>>>>>.a 2 plus a 3 equals...5 fingers in a fist huh? A corked up volcano meets a jerk willing to uncork it.
Sound about right?

There are some rules about drinking to stay out of trouble. Never drink when you're mad or sad. It only leads in the wrong direction. In my drinking days I did a few strange things but, I never went out looking for a fight. The incident I described happened 27 years ago.
This guy was pissing me off and grabbing my girl friends sister's butt. I asked him to stop nicely. When he said the magic words, I popped him. What I can say is, if I hadn't been drinking I wouldn't have hit him in front of 250 witnesses. I would have followed him outside and got him when he went to his car.

When the wife and I married the first time at 19 she wanted a larger wedding and our parents wanted to help. What a disaster they fought and fought my wife was in tears. 23 years later we remarried kept everything simple and at a park, no family was allowed to "help". Kids went out to play everything very informal was a great time enjoyed by family and guest but most important my wife had a wedding day she enjoyed and still talks fondly about. The first wedding not so much.

I hope this is a wake up call for that young man....he needs AA.

I agree. I have alcoholics in my family; I have attended "Open" meetings with them and even read the "Big Book". This young man's behavior is not a "one time youtful discretion". His brain is wired in such a way that it cannot tolerate alcohol as others who can tolerate alcohol because of the way their brain is wired. This explains why some people can stop at 1-2 drinks and others can't. I truly believe it's not a matter of "will power" but rather, an acceptance that for whatever reason, one is not physically designed to tolerate alcohol (just like any other disease you can be afflicted with).

Very true. My cousin and myself could pass for twin brothers but... Back when I used to drink, ( No matter how much) the worst you could expect from me would be awful jokes. My cuz however was like Jekyl and Hyde after a few drinks. He even punched out a waitress once for no discernable reason. Sober, he'd give the shirt off his back to a stranger but at some point in drinking, it was like paranoia or past "hurts" or something had his brain on fire and there was NO "settling him down" words that ever worked.

I went to a family wedding where at a long table some started talking politics.
Alcohol and a mixed political leaning crowd can be a disaster if folks don't leave that subject at home!
At some point one male called another guy's wife stupid. Had he said her COMMENT was stupid it MIGHT have been ignored.
Call ME stupid, I'll try to calm you down. Call my wife,fiancee, or girlfriend stupid in a private setting I still might let it go with a sincere apology .
In a crowd, your begging to get hit.
Well, he DID. Much like the confusion at baseball games, soon dozens were involved.
Took some time but "Peacemakers" in the family did their thing. 30 years later it's just " One of those wedding stories."
Lesson here: 1. It's the bride and groom's day, not your opportunity to "educate." 2, It's suppossed to be a fun, happy, and light day with "Light" discussion. 3. Opinions on stuff like politics and religion should be done on Huffpost or the voting booth, NEVER with folks you like. Being a "genius" on the subject(s) doesn't matter a bit to the other "genius's" anyway. 4. If you struggle to be a good conversationalist on anything other than what I mentioned above, and fear you'll come off as boring, so what? ... Better than opening your mouth and proving you are? Just sit back and be amazed at how happy the wedding couple is.

My folks always taught me to never talk politics ever all you will do is start a fight that no one wil win and whats the point in that.
