Is this TRUE? It tops everything!
The following came over the Internet:
Is this a nightmare wedding or what???
This is a true story about a recent wedding that took place at Clemson
University, and even Jay Leno mentioned it. It was a huge wedding with
about 300 guests. After the wedding, at the reception, the groom got up on
stage at the microphone to talk to the crowd. He said that he wanted to thank
everyone for coming, many from long distances, to support them at their
wedding. He especially wanted to thank the bride's and groom's Families
for coming and to thank his new father-in-law for providing such a fabulous
reception. To thank everyone for coming and bringing gifts and
everything, he said he wanted to give everyone
a special gift from just him. So taped to the bottom of everyone's
chair was a manila envelope, including the wedding party; He said that this was
his gift to everyone, and told everyone to open the envelopes. Inside each
manila envelope was an 8x10 picture of his best man having sex with the
bride. He had gotten suspicious of the two of them and hired a private
detective to trail them weeks prior to the wedding. After he stood
there and watched the people's reactions for a couple of minutes, he turned to the best man and said, "F--- you!". He turned to his bride and said, "F--- you!",
and then he turned to the dumbfounded crowd and said," I'm out of here." He
had the marriage annulled first thing that Monday morning.
While most of us would have broken off the engagement immediately after
finding out about the affair, this guy goes through with it anyway, as
if nothing was wrong. His revenge: Making the bride's parents pay over
$32,000 for 300 guests for a wedding and reception. Letting everyone know
exactly what did happen. And best of all, trashing the bride's and best man's
reputations in front of all of their friends and their entire families.
This guy has balls the size of church bells.
Do you think we might see one of those MasterCard "Priceless" commercials out of this?
Elegant wedding for 300 family and guests: $32,000
Photographers for the wedding: $3,000
Deluxe Honeymoon accommodations in Maui for 2 weeks: $8,500
The look on everyone's faces after seeing a photo of the Bride and Best
Man having sex ...... Priceless

You are correct, Sondra! Just found it! I'm loving this website (urbanlegends.about.com). Several of these have appeared on this board including the "how to get out of ticket by overpaying" myth.

The Bridegroom's Revenge
As told by Terry Miller, 02/24/00...
Here is one I just heard from my husband. A guy where he works "swears" it happened to someone he knew...
A bride and a groom are at their wedding reception. Everything is going perfectly when the groom stands up to give a toast. He thanks all the guest for coming and for the stack of presents on the table, he thanks the father of the bride for the beautiful reception.
He then tells the guests that he has a surprise for all of them. He instructs them to look under their chairs. They do and find a picture taped to the bottom of each seat.
The guest are shocked and horrified! It's a picture of the bride and the best man having sex! The groom says he had a feeling they were having an affair and hired an investigator who took the photo. He then says to the father of the bride, "Thanks for the $30,000 sit-down dinner and party, but I'm out of here." And he walked out.
He filed for an annulment the following Monday.

I heard this from someone who said their brother was at the wedding...
Apparently, a man and a woman had a huge wedding. When they were at the reception and it was time for the best man's speech, the groom stood up instead. He said he knew it was highly irregular that he was speaking, but he had something to say. He wanted everyone to know that the wedding was totally legal and on the up and up. The man with him, he continued, was his divorce lawyer. If the wedding guests would all flip over their plates, they would see the reason. With that, he tossed off his champagne and walked out.
On the bottom of every plate was a picture of the bride and best man walking into a cheap motel room together. The electronic dating of the photo was three days before the wedding.

Did You Know?
Folklorist Jan Harold Brunvand has traced this story back to a brief item in a newspaper gossip column in 1985 which was subsequently expanded into a "news story" by the Weekly World News, a U.S. tabloid. The earliest versions named the groom and maid of honor as the guilty parties, but in later tellings it's the bride and the best man.

I heard this story about a man and woman who got engaged. They were both from very wealthy families. Eventually the wedding day arrived. It was a huge wedding with hundreds of guests, many of whom had flown or driven great distances to be there. The ceremony went off smoothly and all the guests headed for the lavish reception.
When it was time for the groom to give his speech he thanked all the guests for their wonderful gifts and for taking the trouble to travel so far to share the happy occasion. He said that he was so grateful to all the guests that he had arranged a gift for each person at the reception. All they had to do was reach under the chair and they would find an envelope stuck to the bottom of the chair with the gift in it. Naturally, all the guests quickly reached under their chairs and retrieved the envelopes. Each one contained an 8X10 color glossy photo of the bride and the best man having sex and obviously going for it with a will.
Naturally, there were gasps of horror and fainting women. Amidst all the bedlam the groom got the final words in by cursing the bride and the best man, stating that he had known of the affair for some time and that his lawyer would be applying for an annulment on the following day.
