FRIENDS, family, fine wine, a $30,000 investment and a year and a half of planning: it should have been the perfect Hunter Valley wedding.
But Sydney couple Steve and Leigh Buttel claim unwanted guests - including maggots in their wedding bed and bedroom invasions by bats - turned their wedding into a bride's worst nightmare.

Bats are cool. No maggots, please!
Okay, do the bats eat insects? Then sic ‘em on the maggots. Problem solved.
“The family said the complaint was not about money.”
Then take the bottle of champagne and the $1850.00 credit they offered you and STFU.
I really, really hate a ‘Bride For A Day’ princess mentality. Stuff happens. You live in the wilds of Australia fer Pete’s Sake. It was a dead bat! What are you going to do when your future kid needs emergency surgery in the middle of the night? Call for your Daddy to sue someone?
Grow up, Princess. And trust me...in a long-term marriage, comparatively, your Wedding Day will NEVER be ‘The Worst Day Of Your Life,’ LOL! If you play your cards right, you’ll laugh about it in the future and count your Blessings when times REALLY get tough!
Ya just can’t please everyone!
Maggots in our wedding bed. Is that some kind of Aussie country and western song?
They should have been so lucky, many couples don’t find out til later...
In many countries, maggots are considered a delicacy. I can only assume a bat just adds to the ambiance.
I remember one poor couple that decided to go camping for their honeymoon, then pitched their tent over an anthill.
The funny part happened when the bride called her mother to tell her about the honeymoon, and before she could mention the ants, or that both of them were covered with ant bites, her mother assured her that “Don’t worry, honey, thing like that always happen to a bride on her honeymoon.”
“Uh, mom. I don’t think so.”
i saw the guy eat fried bat on “Bizarre Foods”. The Travel Channel.
Ping.
No reason...
Maggots in the bed.....EWWWWWWWW, PING!
Are you happy to see me or are those maggots in your . . . . . . ?
Exactly. Also, the place wasn’t really infested. A bat died in the ceiling, was being eaten my maggots, and the batch fell out and landed on the bed. It happens; that’s nature.
My first wedding was this big, elaborate thing.
Lasted less than a year.
My 2nd was a, “Do ya? Do ya? Okay, yer done,” thing by a lake.
Lasted 6 years.
My 3rd will likely be done online like those internet college degrees are....
I hate that guy sometimes! I saw one episode where he went to Hawaii, trying out foods as usual, and he didn't like one meal because it had Spam in it. Meanwhile, the guy travels to (insert small, insignificant island country name here) in other episodes and eats the a$$hole out of an octopus and enjoys it! Am I missing something here?
I always swore that my second wedding would be a shotgun wedding - my best friend would be waiting at the end of the aisle with a shotgun, and when I say “I do,” he shoots me.
Didn’t work out that way.
There was a redback on the toilet seat,
When I was there last night.
I didn’t see him in the dark,
But boy I felt his bite.
I jumped up high into the air,
And when I hit the ground.
That crafty redback spider,
Wasn’t nowhere to be found.
I rushed into the mrs,
Told her just where I’d been bit.
And she grabbed my cutthroat razor,
And I nearly took a fit.
I said ‘Forget what’s on your mind,
And call a doctor please.
For I’ve got a feeling that your cure,
Is worse than the disease.’
There was a redback on the toilet seat,
When I was there last night.
I didn’t see him in the dark,
But boy I felt his bite.
And now I’m here in hospital,
A sad and sorry plight.
And I curse the redback spider,
On the toilet seat last night.
I can’t lie down, I cant’ sit up I don’t know what to do.
The nurses think it’s funny but that’s not my point of view.
I tell you it’s embarrasing and that’s to say the least,
For I’m too sick to eat a bite,
While the spider had a feast.
And when I get back home again, I’ll tell you what I’ll do.
I’ll make that Redback suffer for the pain I’m going through.
I’ve had so many needles, I’m looking like a siv.
I promise you that redback hasn’t very long to live.

On the toilet seat last night.
