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.”

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.”

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.

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.

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.
Will they take expired coupons instead? I have a drawer full.
No. You can send a wedding announcement to those you didn't invite (we got married, here's some pics) but not ask for money!
If people want to give, they would ask if there's a registry or honeymoon fund, sending out something to people not invited to try and steer them to your fund is just so beggy
Who sends cards informing people they weren’t invited to the wedding?
well, this hits tacky on the head. with a hammer. while screaming "TACKY".
I'm sorry, apparently I'm in the minority here, but I remember sending out announcements for all of my graduations and getting gifts from the people who could not attend. People send money for the birth of babies and weddings as well. The guest list on weddings had to be cut down enormously when Covid hit. These people aren't demanding money...they are saying IF YOU WANT you can send money as a gift. I have seen this picture many times in wedding shaming articles but I have never understood what the problem is.
Sadly, you didn't make the cut of the wedding gifts we are choosing to bestow this year.
How tacky. I cannot believe there are people out there who are this tacky.
the limitations of attendees, especially due to covid, is understandable. however, the request for money for honeymoon expenses is, in my opinion, kind of tacky. why? because a honeymoon is something that the groom and/or the bride usually plan for themselves and shouldn't be dependent on the generosity of others.
You NEVER ask for money on any invitation, ever. And if they can't pay for their own honeymoon, then they can't afford to get married in the first place.

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.

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-
