You can't please everyone. Especially the Internet.
There's a subreddit called r/WeddingShaming and as the name suggests, it's a place where people trash everything from brides and grooms, in-laws and outlaws to venues and menus as well as decor and Uncle Bob's armpit odor.
Of course, it's not all out of spite. Some posts that get a ton of attention are funny and lighthearted. Like the one where a bride shows off her mom's dress, a white gown, way fancier than her own (12,000 upvotes).
But as you might've already noticed in Bored Panda's earlier piece on the subreddit, it's the juicy stuff that gets its 189,000 members riled up. So continue scrolling and join the judging team: upvote the pics that deserve criticism or tell us in the comments if they should be rehabilitated.

Shaming These Awful Parents, While The Siblings Rock
An engaged couple makes a lot of big decisions about their special day that not only impact them but also their guests; while they want to stay true to their own desires, they also have to consider what their guests might enjoy. After all, everyone's a part of the ride. "Financial worries are usually forefront for most couples," wedding planner Lisa Burton told Bored Panda.
"The worry is they can't afford the wedding day they want and might have to compromise too much. With the couple's expectations being so high, they worry the reality won't live up to the dream."
This Is A Whole New Level Of Bridezilla
I feel the same way. People like that are the ones you want to slap so hard in the face as it seems like their brains only work when pain is used.

For anyone who missed it part 2 is here: https://www.boredpanda.com/friends-miscarriage-stealing-wedding-attention-bridezilla/ . The groom dumped her.
I've read a lot of these "Am I the Asshole" threads, but this one takes the cake by far. This can't be real - can it? These type of people exist, for real? And if they do, how in the hell did you develop a life-long relationship that resulted in you being invited to their wedding - knowing they are the worsssssstttt.

Oh, god, I remember this utter asshole. I'd be tempted to think i t was an exaggeration if I hadn't seen how a few people treated a friend of mine when she lost her baby. Yes, someone actually said to her "it's not like it was a real baby yet." Um, she was a premie who died after birth. Yes, she was.
Three miscarriages, and nobody once acted ike I was even a gonna-be-a-mom. *sigh*

I mean, yes, she genuinely is. She's probably been faking empathy for years and finally let the mask slip.

Apart from how cruel this is, I hate it if a bride wants to make it all about her. Like, you are not marrying alone, are you? Also the idea of a big wedding is to share an important moment with your loved ones, not your loved ones worshipping you for the whole day.
Agreed. In a marriage, whole families unite. Narcissism. Period.

I have a sister just like the bride. EVERYTHING has to be about her her her her her. At my Dad's funeral, she had a bloody temper tantrum because she wasn't "designated" chief mourner so she could ride in the first limo.She had to ride in a Ford sedan and it ruined "her" day.
I'm sorry for your lost..truly. but dumping that horrid person was wonderful, I would still throw rocks at her house for fun though
If I was the deceased childs parent, I'd send this whole conversation to their fiancee, so they can see what type of person they're about to marry! Run dude. Run!
He dumped her. Part two is in my above comment.

"but ur being really selfish it's been 2 months how much time do you really need?" That person doesn't deserve love.
My aunt just had a miscarriage and this just makes this screenshot even worst. The bride is an absolute ass and the mom needs to cut them out of her life forever. I apologize for being harsh, but 'it's not like you knew her'? How heartless is she?
I'm sorry if this offends anyone but I really needed to get this off my chest

UGGHHH The poor grammar of that person is almost bad as the situation its self 😩
Is it wrong for me to say I hope karma comes for the bride and she’s not able to have kids ??
Holly crap! Is that a real conversation?! My brother died almost 2 years ago, I'm still grieving. And there just 2 months passed! This creature of a woman didn't deserve to have friends. Oh god, I hope the momma shared their conversation publicly with their common friends, the bride definitely deserved all attention from people she knows.
Wow! with "friends" like that? I didn't lose a baby, but I had a huge trauma when I was 15. Others thought I should be over it in 3 months. Why do people judge how long it takes YOU to get over something?
The best line was the last "I'll see him at the divorce party'. Which she probably will.
definately give up this 'friend'. my god! hey, my husband of over 40 years died and family members told me after ONE MONTH i should get over it and quit grieving......smh
i am still alone and grieving, ten years later. YOU get over it

2 months, 2 years and you will never get over not knowing the person who is not a part of your life
My heart goes out to the mum of the baby. What a completely selfish egotistical bitch that bride is. The loss of a child is an awful thing and you don't 'get over' it in two months , if ever and for her to further twist the knife by saying ' you didn't even know her' well I don't know how that mother didn't take her head off. Friends!!!! Nah a jealous insecure bitch
I can't even reread that entire thing it hurts so much. (have seen the post before) I've never lost a pregnancy/baby but totally empathize with the lady accused of being distraction on THE BRIDE'S DAY. No mention of a groom, is he just an accessory, like interchangeable?
I am so sick of this "the wedding day is all about me" bullshit. It's about you both making a commitment, and that's it.
Seriously, inher place I'd post THIS on my fb for all the other people to read it. I guess that'd be a lonely wedding after finding out the bride is such a d**k.
This type of a person can't be a mother. How would her child grow up to be like?
wow...just wow. What a pile of human garbage. If she has a child, hopefully she will understand how wrong it was for her to speak like this. This whole wedding this is HELLA entitled.
Man, this is really interesting. Right now this is #4. And #3 is the girl whose brother wanted to propose at his wedding. All the comments on that one are 'ofc you don't propose at a wedding! Don't take attention from the bride!' And this one, where the bride doesn't want the attention taken from her by someone who everyone thinks is still pregnant, is 'omg the poor guest!' The bride could have handled it 100% better but the premise is the same - the attention is off the bride.
Can you imagine? I'm glad that mama cut out that cancer out of her life!!
The bride is the most garbage human I have ever seen. "It's not like you knew her"?!! I can't even imagine how the other person felt. The bride has no care for other people's feelings and I hope that donkey is left by her groom at the altar. She doesn't deserve happiness.
this is like a reddit of story along with the ones about that guy's girlfriend who used his socks as toilet paper
I hurt for the mom and an in person conversation about bride’s concerns would have been better. Also a lot more understanding for her grief and not putting a time frame on grief would have been nice. Actually understanding on both sides and better words would be great. It is difficult for people to see past there own feeling but some compassion and understanding would have been good on both sides
I had three. They were horribly painful physically and emotionally for me. The bride started the exchange by diminishing her friend's situation and pain. What, nobody is permitted to look at or listen to anyone but the bride? .... We can't have our own moments at the reception? that's... creepy.. to me.

Burton, who has over 14 years of experience throwing weddings abroad, said another worry for her destination wedding couples is that the expectations of the guests — who have spent money flying across the world to attend their wedding — will not be met. "There's a lot of pressure to provide the 'perfect' wedding experience. I try to reassure them that guests are on holiday first and foremost so they are in a more carefree state of mind. Most, if not all guests will not have attended a wedding abroad before, and certainly not at the same venue so they have nothing to compare it to. Even if your day is perfectly simple and intimate they’ll still be experiencing something they’ve never experienced before. This usually helps to calm the bride and groom."

But some things can make the guests leave with bitter memories. "Family dynamics can be hard to balance at a wedding," Lisa Burton said. "It's one of the main things a couple can struggle with, especially if the family doesn't get on."
The seating arrangement, for example, can be enough to set off a conflict. "If a family member ends up being seated next to someone they don't like, it can affect the atmosphere at the reception. We once planned an intimate wedding of 16 people and they had 6 tables at the reception (instead of the usual one or two). This was because family members did not speak and refused to sit next to each other at dinner," Burton recalled.

Double-Shame? Moh Knew She Had Been Exposed Before The Pandemic Wedding
According to her, expense is another possible issue. "If a couple is marrying at a luxury venue, this typically means the costs of drinks will be high. If the bride and groom don't offer an open bar then guests may have to 'dig deep' if they want a few rounds of drinks. This can often lead to disgruntled 'sober' guests."
Venue accessibility can also cause a few headaches. "If you know your venues has difficult access or steep entryways then make sure your guests are prepared. Less able guests may need help and negotiating steep cobbled pathways is no fun in stiletto heels!" Burton said.
Just Saw This On Facebook... Eek
Went To A Wedding And The Mil Wore This... Would You Be Okay With It?
I saw a photo similar to this one (with a similar story, no doubt), and the bride actually got sneaky and paid a server to "accidentally" spill wine on the MIL's "not a wedding dress" dress. I gotta say, I'd be tempted to do something like that if someone was that disrespectful at my wedding.
Event planner, life coach, and author Amanda Hudes thinks that this type of wedding shaming is childish. In her opinion, complete strangers stalking a ceremony via the Internet just to criticize it is akin to talking behind someone's back in high school.
"Shaming comes from a place of insecurity and almost never about the person who is being shamed, but rather the person shaming," Hudes told BRIDES.
Ooooo Yikes

The bride needs to conspire with her bridesmaids to stick a "I'm not the bride" sign on the MIL's back.

Groom’s Mother Hospitalized With Covid And Pneumonia 2 Weeks After Mask-Less Wedding In Florida
The photographer and I were the only two people of 60 that wore a mask at my sister’s wedding. None of events staff wore one. We were in the middle of Arizona’s 3rd wave. My BIL’s family took COVID back to their hometown which had been completely untouched by the virus up to that point. Two people died within the first 10 days the ILs return home. Oh, and BIL’s brother made national news because he was dragged off the plane after refusing to wear his mask on the return flight. Not to mention, my long-COVID (I was not contagious the day of the wedding) became active and I developed pneumonia, again.

During our wedding reception, my MIL screeched from the venue lobby in what I can only describe as a drunken banshee trapped inside a Speak and Spell, “You guy’s let faggots marry here. You ruined it. You tainted my baby’s wedding day with your abomination. How could you let them celebrate next to good Christian folks?” She said this as the other couple walking into their reception and being introduced as Husband and Husband. We could hear her crystal clear over our loud music. My husband and I felt humiliated and heartbroken that MIL stole that beautiful moment from the other couple. We ended up sharing our open bar with the other party because they definitely needed a drink.
Oh no, those poor men! It must have been so heartwrenching to have that beautiful moment ruined by such a mean person.

My father told me of a wedding he went to early 1950s . he was at the fancy reception when the groom's father accused another man of getting freshwith his wife. A fight ensued and soon every one was fighting . my father who was a peaceful man decided there was only one thing he should do.: save the cake. Carefully trying avoid the ruckus s He moved the cake to the floor and shoved it under a table.in corner of room. There. He waited taking small tastes till police came and stopped the fight. The couple were very grateful .
That should be a slapstick scene haha. Kudos to your father!

Totally agree. That's how i was married. Just a few hundred bucks, some family and less than $1000 on reception, few hundy on photos, no honeymoon. Still together after 14 years.
