When you think of it, weddings are the unofficial mirror of our society where if something can go wrong, it surely will. They also bring some of the most memorable and sweet moments that are among the very few life-changing things humans have.
But saying “I do” can be as colorful as the world itself: from people hosting their wedding in the middle of Walmart or a parking lot, or a gas station, or right there in front of a dumpster, and I’m not just making that up. After all, who’re we to judge if this is what makes two lovebirds happy? And sometimes it’s not even them, it’s the guests who forwarded their wedding invitation to a bunch more uninvited guests.
So get your popcorn ready for this compilation of the most “Seriously!?” wedding moments for ensued craziness: the matrimonial edition.

Not Entirely Sure This Fits But It’s Definitely Odd
My Uncle's Wedding In Las Vegas, Streamed Live On The Internet
Best. Wedding. Photo. Ever
No matter what your wedding may look like, it all starts with a meticulous (and for some, spontaneous) planning process. Guest list, catering menu, venue, style, dress, everything puts huge pressure on the newlyweds, so no wonder it may go astray at any time.
Bored Panda talked to Rhiann Janak, the lead wedding planner and CEO of “Lucy Till French Weddings.” Rhiann said that essentially, “If there are too many cooks in the kitchen, you'll have a hard time pleasing everyone and drama will arise.”

I Was Told This Wedding Invitation Should Be Under Trashy
So if you want to eat vegetarian or kosher, you need to spend at least 1001 dollars on a gift. Well, f*ck me. I'd completely ghost these people.
My Best Friend Finally Mailed Me An Invitation To His Wedding
Instead, she suggested being aware that “when you are given money to organize your wedding, ask yourself, does this come with expectations to do parts of the wedding a certain way? Are you okay with those expectations?” In reality, only the couple knows how they want their most beautiful day to look, and they should stick to what makes them happy and not everybody else.
And in order to avoid any unnecessary drama, Rhiann recommends a simple trick: “keep the choices you make a secret until the wedding day unless you genuinely want someone's input as it may be different to yours.”
Every Girls Dream Is To Be Carried On Her Wedding Night
Mother-In-Law
Wasn't Expecting To See A Wedding When I Stopped At Wal*mart This Weekend...
Rhiann recounted one incident about her friend who had a vegan meal in the heart of Texas, BBQ country. “Her mother-in-law spent the entire planning process stressing about the fact that people will be hungry and wearing out the phrase 'what, I can't believe there won't be any meat.'”
“But in the end, everyone, all the guests, and mother-in-law were really happy with the meal,” Rhiann said and added that “sometimes, a bit of surprise is a good thing.” You shouldn’t thoroughly adapt your wedding to the preferences of your guests, and if you take them into account, this should not overturn the things that you feel comfortable with on your wedding day.

At the same time, while planning a wedding, you could take others’ opinions into account, especially if it’s someone you have a general bond with and both you and your partner trust. This may be your parents, or other close relatives, who will surely have their opinions on how you handle the wedding planning. This is especially true if you rely on your parents’ finances, which often correlates with how much they're contributing.
The Tackiest Wedding Rules
A wedding coordinator that can't even spell? Yeah, this is the bride herself trying to get money.
Maybe it's a dyslexic wedding planner? I'm married to a dyslexic person so can see how it could happen. Spell check doesn't help unfortunately. The point is that the rules are mostly ridiculous.
Load More Replies...No full face of makeup, got it. But you’re okay if I just do the bottom half?
english is not my first or second language, but my inner grammar nazi is agitated...
Yup...misspell all you like in your daily life but at least bloody spell check your "official" emails.
Load More Replies...Do not talk to the bride??? What kind of wedding are you having where your family and friends can't talk to you?
Seramony? No acceptions? I don't won't to be admited in. Pathetic bride.
I would wear ALL the makeup and I have (which is a lot) and wear my hair like this... big-hair-6...388647.jpg
And you would have looked gorgeous. I miss the 80's. I can still smell my crimper.
Load More Replies...I would have suddenly "remembered" another crucial engagement that day.
Why would the bride not want to talk to the guests she invited? And are we now supposed to toast with Rémy or not? What if I cannot make one of the 2 hair styles with my hair? So many questions.
I don’t know about he hair rules either. What if you have very short hair? Or no hair? Or curly hair that can’t fit into a basic bob or ponytail?
I have long hair. If I was invited to this event I'd be sorely tempted to attend purely to shine with my fresh shaved head, chat up the bride before the ceremony and leave after dinner without leaving a present.
Load More Replies...I understand rules 1, 2 & 5... I still wouldn't attend the wedding, but I get those rules
I'll agree with 1 & 2, but I had some candid recordings taken during our wedding and it contained some of my favourite footage. (Incidentally, rule 1 was in force at our wedding too, it's a decent rule)
Load More Replies...Nobody would treat anyone they genuinely cared about with such disrespect. I would hazard a guess that this bride doesn't have genuine friends, just people she likes to keep around her to treat badly and feel better about herself.
What can I fave my face with then, if not makeup? Edit: number 8 alone explains the whole tone succinctly 🤦♀️
How about I just stay home & skip this wedding? That sounds like a better plan.
It was probably the bride herself that wrote and sent this
Load More Replies...I read the first two rules and I was like "that seems like common sense, ok, don't wear white on the wedding day, cool" the. I read the third and just facepalmed myself...
That last one reminds me of the bride who wanted only $400 stuff on her wedding day
Yes I will call you directly....to cancel my invite thank you very much! PS - What is a seramony?
Avoid this wedding at all costs,the Groom to be,needs to do a runner.
if i ever received an invitation to any event such as a wedding with a minimum amount demanded as a gift, not only would i decline but would probably limit any contact in the future. either you want me to bring what i think is appropriate and affordable to me and celebrate your union or you can save $ on the postage stamp and skip the invitation all together.
I’m not sure I’d trust a person who can’t spell ceremony. Speaks volumes.
With all the typos I think I'd pass on this one. Maybe tell them you had a planned emergency surgery that day or something. Man I'd hate to see how much that couple paid for a wedding coordinator who can't even spell.
The typos alone would have made me miss this wedding. And I'd tell the couple exactly why.
Great weddin coordiata carnt even spel propur like wot I duz. Àz for £75 gift i wud say it woz $75 .
i would be annoyed but still respect their rules for their wedding, no big deal. Then I read number 10 and decided these people aren't worth my presence.
they can't spell. They don't deserve anything. Just do everything nit says not to do .
Uhm no attending minus two by now. What happens to " sharing a moment of love with the people I love"? Still prefer the Vegas Wedding- come as you are
Number 9 sends me like a mix of Harvey Weinstein and positive covid. #happy one year anniversary.
Rules 1 to 7 + 9 are not that big of a deal. Peculiar but manageable. But what's up with rule 8? And rule 10 is just plain rude.
There is no etiquette book anywhere that will tell you it’s okay to make rules for your guests. Guests are just that, and you are supposed to make your guests comfortable and happy, not the other way around!
Load More Replies..."Seramony"? For real? Yeah, no. I call BS. This was some relative of the bride trying to pretend they're having a coordinator. Obviously, they didn't even have a spell-check....
Do not record but post things with the # is not a bit contradictory? Well...#seramony
Autocorrect?
Well How Do You Feel Now That You Know She Was ***not*** The Bride
On the other hand, the constructive contribution should not be confused with toxic criticism. If anyone is being harsh with your wedding (and life) choices and openly questioning whether your “I do” is right, whether your wedding is well-planned, it may cause you to lose self-esteem. Be open-minded about opinions, but remember that for some, marrying in Walmart will surely look like the craziest idea on the planet, but you may have your own reasons why such an unusual venue is the place you want to marry. And it’s totally fine.

That is a weird way to hug your wife. She looks like a scared hostage, trying to play along and smile, so the weirdo doesn't kill her. He definitely looks like a weirdo.

We Sent You This Card So Send Us Money
I am staggered at the amount of people who ask for gifts, money or otherwise. I grew up with the idea that a wedding was a covenant between two people who invited those they love to come witness that promise. Gifts are not what make a wedding. Love, and the sharing of love is. I find it tacky as well as greedy to set expectations of monetary gain from a wedding.

I don't find most of these pictures bad. It's people's decision. Let them choose what they want on their special day. If the want to dress up as scary clowns, let them do it.
Yeah- I find it far more trashy to spend $50,000+ of your parents money just for one day. Make your wedding unique to you both and screw anyone who finds it distasteful.
Load More Replies...As much as I love to laugh about things I'd never consider for myself, it really doesn't matter if other people consider venue or outfits as trashy, so long as the Bride and Groom have a great day. It's also nice to see people having weddings within their budget (presumably) rather than getting caught up in all the wedding day hype
Yeah, some of these weddings aren't up a lot of people's allies style-wise, but I don't think they need to be shamed- that being said though, the trump wedding, the corona spreading weddings and the gift requirement and money collector weddings do deserve a lot of shame.
How come we didn't think to have a tyrannosaurus at our wedding? I have to discuss this with my wife.
My best friend's 28 year old daughter is planning a GOT X Star Wars themed wedding this coming October. My friend is desperately hoping something changes b4 then. The groom is great, no change wanted there, just her daughter's taste.
I met Mrs Voice at a metal show, so our first dance song was by a band called Entombed, who were playing when we first ever talked. You should've seen our parents faces when it kicked in, my nieces and nephews had a great time moshing with us, this was the song : https://youtu.be/U8MJFsanLS4?t=61
Half of these are just people doing what they want and not spending a ton of money. I don't understand shaming that.
Call me crazy but a lot of these are not trashy. Some are due to financial constraints, some with inside jokes that a picture cannot convey and some are just a matter of tastes. I really don't see it fit or appropriate to judge a ceremony just based on a photo. A few of them though are rather funny, I have to admit.
Imagine flying out from the other side of the planet, excited to see your daughter or sister who you haven't seen in years, along with the others you missed...then seeing this-
