Not every marriage starts with a [fairytale wedding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1). In fact, with free-flowing of booze and family drama, most have some juicy (or downright disastrous) wedding stories that occur.

'Hell of a Wedding' is an anonymous, user-generated compilation of the most horrible, unlucky, hilarious and raunchy wedding stories.

Viewers can vote with a devil emoji to say "What a nightmare!" or a clinking pair of beer glasses to express "That sounds like one hell of a party!" And if they have their own wild wedding story, a user can easily submit their own to get it off their chest.
