Groom Etiquette 101: Don't Set The Reception Hall On Fire

One piece of basic advice for grooms on their wedding day is: don't set your reception hall on fire. While this may seem like a no-brainer to most, Max Kay of the UK did not heed this advice and purposefully set the 'castle' where he was having his reception ablaze.

Apparently, he and the owners of the castle had been fighting over a late payment which led to the fire starting. Shockingly, the groom had consumed a large amount of vodka, according to the article from The Telegraph, and was going through his own financial struggles. He only added to his financial ruin by doing roughly $9 million in damage to the building. Ouch.

A Man's Worst Nightmare

Ouch. Guy asks for a girl's hand in marriage in front of an entire mall food court, guitar sere-nation and all, and she bolts out of there like Kris Humphries after spending a vacation with the Kardasians in Bora Bora.

If that happened to me, I run over to Chick-fil-A and throw myself into the nearest fry-o-lator.

Advice: Never Take a Wedding Picture on a Rickety Old Pier

I'm cringing watching this video knowing what's going to happen, even before it starts. I wonder why THEY couldn't see that.

The photographer kind of needs to make a call there when the pier is making noises that you can hear from afar and say, "Ah hey, people...don't panic, but can everyone please start walking towards the dock...calmly but quickly." I mean...it's pretty obvious that thing is gonna go down.
