Do you hear that? That rumbling of exciting, weird and wonderful stories roaring towards you? You must know what that means! It’s time for another installment of Bizarre Wedding News. Sure, Fall has officially arrived, the gray clouds and drizzling rains are here, and that means we are in the dreary times. But never fear! This doesn’t mean there aren’t any wild wedding stories going on around the world! Because we’ve still got plenty for you: this week we’ve got some scams, some celebrity sightings and a trip to the hospital coming your way, so let’s get down to it!
Typically, we’re always down for donations and charity of any variety. Especially for those who have a spouse in a dangerous line of work, whether it be the armed forces, police, or a firefighter like in our first story. But what we’re not down for is lying jerks who try to scam others out of money, like one Ashley Bemis who has been accused of lying about having a husband who was supposedly working the fire while she was out collecting donations for him and other members of his crew.
Totaling an estimated $11,000 worth of money, on top of other toiletries, Bemis scammed a fair amount of people before one firefighter decided to look up her husband in the database—only to discover he didn’t exist at all. An investigation is currently underway, though the scariest part is there’s evidence that Bemis has done this sort of thing before; she even is claimed to have faked an entire pregnancy.
Here’s a little known fact that many people surely don’t want to believe: Keanu Reeves is at the top of his acting game thanks to the John Wick movies. But while he isn’t shooting people up with dozens of weapons and performing “gun-fu,” he’s still that charming fella (who definitely isn’t a vampire) who will gladly take pictures if you ask him nicely.
Which is what happened to Leslie Walker and Jarrod Camara, who were celebrating their wedding at the Dream Inn in California. The brother of Jarrod approached him asking if he could take a picture, and like the gentleman that he is, he happily agreed. Though he didn’t stay long, he certainly left a lasting impression and memories for the bride and groom. For even more of his antics, there’s a subReddit called r/KeanuBeingAwesome, where you can find Camara’s original account of the story.

Another photobomb story? Coming right up! This one was entirely unintentional in the funniest way possible. Typically, our animal photobombs have happened out in nature and came as quite a surprise. This one was absolutely safe but equally as funny.
A couple was getting ready to celebrate their wedding at the Minnesota Zoo. During their first look, they decided to pose in front of the bear enclosure. What they didn’t quite realize is that this bear had the most utterly expressive faces that anyone could imagine.
Ranging from bummed out to sad, to just entirely confused, these photos probably look staged but they aren’t in the slightest! Be sure to flip through the instagram post to see all of the lovable bear’s funny faces. It seems like he had a “beary” good time.

There’s so much that can go wrong in a wedding. On top of all the planning already required to get it going, the big day sees the arrival of friends and family from out of town and everything else coming to fruition. That means the stress is high—that is until the reception. When the rings have been exchanged, a few kisses shared, and a big round of applause, it’s time to let loose.
But whether through libations or just simple carelessness, things can still go wrong. For one recently married couple, a few drinks and some lack of coordination while dancing landed the groom awkwardly on his leg as well as in the hospital. As bride Nicola would explain, James had been quite “merry to be up and dancing,” until he tripped and fell. Rushing to the hospital to ensure nothing had been broken (it hadn’t) the newlyweds missed out on part of their reception but fortunately James made a quick recovery in time for their honeymoon!
