We've probably all seen the movie and I honestly didn't think it was going to happen at our event, but sure enough, it did and I didn't even notice.I heard all about this the next day, which is exactly the way it should have been.
Apparently my MIL and SIL noticed two guys who just didn't appear to fit into the guests. My MIL mentioned it to her brother who agreed and then she when to my FIL. My FIL and uncle in law converged on the two at the same time. They struck up a conversation and asked they guys if they were on the bride's side or the groom's side. Poor guys. They answered groom's side. "Wrong answer!" Their very full wine glasses (they had served themselves from the server's wine station) were removed from their hands and they were told to either leave peacefully or they would be escorted not-so-peacefully. (You just HAVE to love those career military guys for getting the situation under control!) The turkeys left and that was the end of it.
It could have been so much worse. My recommendation would be to discuss this possibility with your families. Your respective moms and dads know your families and your friends. Talk to them about discreet ways to deal with the situation so that if it does happen everyone will be prepared.

Did you know that there is a TV show that does this now? With the permission of the bride and groom of course!
