Your wedding day is supposed to be special, unique to you, and full of fond memories that you'll cherish for the rest of your life.

Often it takes a lot of planning and thought, so you'll want it to go as smoothly as possible - but sometimes, things don't go to plan, and drama may ensue where you least expect it.

Someone who gets to see a lot of behind-the-scenes drama is the wedding photographer - and when one cheeky member of the profession asked a juicy question on Reddit, people were quick to spill all the gossip they had.

They asked: "Wedding photographers of Reddit, what was your 'they're not gonna last long' moment?"

Many people, not just wedding photographers, spilled the beans with their most jaw-dropping anecdotes, sharing the moments that made them cringe.

One wrote: "I'm a videographer and the groom called me a couple of days after the wedding. He wanted me to make sure I didn't include any footage of him checking out the women at the wedding."

Another said: "Third wedding and the best man, the groom's brother, starts his speech...'Well, welcome back everyone. Good to see some new faces and some old ones.'"

"Ooh ooh, finally one of these I can contribute to", an excited Redditor commented. "My mother was a wedding photographer till I was about 18-19 and I helped out on many of them.

"The one that stands out the most was when we were at a campsite where both the wedding and reception were being held.

"About halfway through the reception, I hear the groom start laughing maniacally. I peeked over his way and could see two groomsmen hauling the thrashing and screaming bride toward the lake.

"They threw her into the freezing cold water with her veil and dress still on. When she got out of the water I genuinely thought she might shoot somebody. Saying she looked like a drowned rat would have been an insult to rats.

"Her hair and makeup and probably the dress were ruined beyond repair. The fact that the groom laughed and didn't do anything stuck with me as being a dog s**t move, even as a teen.

"Apparently she thought so too because they didn't even make it married six months."

A wedding photographer fumed: "Bride was such a monumental b***h her mum gave me a $500 (£393) tip for not walking out on the event when she was treating everyone (even her now husband) like a piece of s**t employee.

"She did the whole clicking fingers thing when wanting someone to do something for her, and she berated the DJ for grabbing a sandwich when he'd been there for about eight hours and was told that he should've brought his own lunch and she would be taking the cost of the food (like an open buffet style) out of his paycheck.

"They were divorced within three years, but not before having three kids that have stupid names."
