Did anything bad happen at your wedding that you didn't find out about til afterwards?

I recently found out that a guest at my wedding got a little too drunk and actually fell over in the bar area. She'd had weight loss surgery and hadn't quite figured out her new tolerance level I guess. My wedding was a year and a half ago but I just found out about this quite recently.

My wedding was great and I'm not embarrassed by this happening, it reflects more on the guest rather than it does on me or my husband...

So yeah, anyone else find out anything after the fact? What was it, and was it anything that actually changed your life/relationship with anyone?

Update:

I also want to note I was more concerned for her safety, like if she had hit her head or something than I was any other emotion. I wasn't mad at her or anything of the sort. And as for it reflecting on her more than it does on me, I was concerned for if my other guests thought she was someone she really isn't. She's a sweet wonderful woman who rarely drinks which is why I suppose she hasn't quite gotten the tolerance right since the surgery.

    I found out from a couple of people after the wedding that my mom was saying critical things about me to them. They just thought she was there was something wrong with her. It didn't change my relationship with my mom because I already knew she was that type of a person. I think she thought she was being nice on my wedding day by not bringing things up directly in front of me.

    Yes, but it had to do with the venue and not any guests at least. We got married in August of 2012, and I found out about this about a year later.

    We had our reception at our Elks Lodge, which my dad is very involved in. The day before our wedding we all met there and put our decorations up... Which was extremely involved, we even had 1000 birds hanging from the ceiling. The manager of the Elks told my family to leave the decorations up, and they would remove them for us the day after our wedding as part of what we were being charged for. Well, on the wedding night, my husband and I left our reception at 11 pm. The manager waited until we left, then went and told my family they needed to take all the decor down that moment, that there was a party the next morning in that room, and that they even needed to help clean up the space. Apparently there was a huge fight after, with the manager screaming at my dad and yelling profanities at him. My dad and stepmom ended up having to take down all the decor that night :( But the manager got fired shortly after, so it worked out. I guess he did things like that all the time. I felt horrible for my family, and I would have helped clean had I know, but they said they didn't want us to know so it didn't ruin our night.

    The wife and I like to party and have fun and we want our friends to enjoy themselves as well so we had an open bar all night for our guests. The wife and I hardly drank because we felt we wanted to be clear headed but I noticed one of our guests getting more and more drunk as the eve went on but I didn't say anything. The mother of my wifes maid of honor had been in rehab before and was sober for a few years but while at our wedding she fell off the wagon hard and got wasted. I never saw her drinking but thought she was getting increasingly drunk every time I spoke to her and I didn't say anything because I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. In the end it wasn't a big deal for us or any of our guests (she didn't do anything stupid or outrageous) but apparently it was for the maid of honor as the mom had to go back into rehab as a result and she was pretty embarrassed that she chose our wedding to end her sobriety.

    My reception was in a historic building with big drapes ad windows.

    When we were doing the pictures, something flew by and I eventually (yes, in my wedding gown) captured a sparrow from behind the drapes.

    Later the events coordinator said "they" meaning some workmen, had caught "it", and (as she pulled a face) that it was a bat... so apparently they had a lot of things flying around in there. I can only hope the bat made it out safely, since I didn't catch that one. I could only vouch for the safety of the bird.

    It wasn't the worst thing, but it was the one thing I hoped went better than it sounded.

    LOL. that's something that happens almost every time me and my friends go out. Doesn't sound like that big of a deal to me. I wouldn't judge someone badly for getting a little too drunk and accidentally falling. I wouldn't have even thought twice about that story had I found out about it later. But maybe me and my friends drink more than most people haha.

    Nothing happened at my wedding that I know of. But it was in Vegas, so who knows!

    No. Everything happened before or during the wedding, nothing we found out about after.

    Our bartender tried to shut down the bar as soon as my husband and I left, even though there was sill an hour left to the reception. but my MIL set him straight :)
