There are a whole lot of people who have a very specific wedding in mind when they’re getting married. Beauty, and, at times, class, are in the eye of the beholder, but sometimes people put together such a strange and gaudy collection of decorations, outfits and activities that netizens had almost no choice but to document it.

So we’ve gathered some of the most unhinged, cringey and just unfortunate wedding moments that people have encountered and shared online. Settle in as you scroll through, prepare to ask how someone could think this was a good idea, upvote your favorites and be sure to add your thoughts in the comments down below.

These Are Probably Going To Last Longer Than Your Marriage (Images Taken A Year Apart) - Stop With These Balloon Starts!

Blue wedding dress caught in tree branches in a forest, illustrating the worst brides and wedding guests fails.

The region I live in is quite popular with weddings and so many people just don’t care about others and the environment because it’s their big day. Besides the fire works several times a week (who cares about the animals of locals when you’re from out of town?) these balloon starts are starting to get on my nerve. If I ever find one of the cards attached I‘m going to make sure they‘re going to be fined for littering.

    Priest Cancels Wedding After Seeing Cry For Help On Groom's Shoe And Says Church Is No Place For Jokes

    Man in a red shirt speaking into a microphone during a discussion about worst brides, grooms, and wedding guests.

    A video of Father Fábio Marinho went viral on social media after he reported, during an interview on the "LendaCast" podcast, that he annulled a wedding due to a joke the groom made at the altar. The incident took place in Uberlândia.

    According to the priest, during the blessing, the guests began to laugh. Unable to understand why, he noticed that the groom had glued the phrase "Help me, get me out of here" to the sole of his shoe. This behavior was interpreted as an impediment to the wedding, leading the priest to cancel the ceremony.

    "They knelt for me to give the blessing, and the church started laughing. I thought: something happened. When I saw what was in the groom's shoe, I took it off and got it. I said, 'Look, this is an impediment to me validating your marriage. Therefore, the wedding is canceled. You'll have to go through all the necessary procedures and decide if you really want to marry her, because you're asking for help,'" the priest said.

    He also stated that marriage must be performed consciously and spontaneously, with no room for joking.

    "When I asked if it was of your own free will, you said yes. But now you're asking for help. This isn't a joke or theater. Leave the joking for the party with your guests. I'm not there to celebrate something that isn't serious. If the groom is asking for help, he doesn't want it. In the name of the Church, I am obliged, by canon law, to suspend the marriage. The marriage becomes invalid," he explained.

    The incident generated significant attention on social media, dividing opinions among internet users.

    While some defended the priest's stance, others believed the groom's actions were merely a joke with no intention of invalidating the marriage.

    Where In The Whole Universe, Did She Find The Audacity

    Outdoor wedding ceremony with guests seated on benches watching as bride and groom stand under a wooden arch in a field.

    My mom recently got married. This is a second marriage for both of them as they both lost their spouse; one to cancer and one to early onset dementia.

    It was a small and intimate wedding to celebrate finding their love again. This lady is not even related to the grooms side. She is just a friend and I had no idea that anyone could have this much audacity!

    She had been told 3 times by this point to sit down by the photographer because she kept moving and getting in the shots. I know this is going to sound bad but verbatim, she said “oh, sorry, I don’t understand…” She is a smart lady. An international student with 2 degrees who perfectly understands English. The photographer didn’t know her so didn’t want to assume she knew English and kept trying to communicate to sit down.

    I am so mad. My mom’s pictures will always have her in them now. By the end of the night she had been told 6 times to stop taking pictures. My husband finally yelled at her because she was taking pictures of the kids who were there. She always posts onto social media and we didn’t want those out there. Finally she stopped, with the threat of being kicked out…

    The dresscode was summer pastel chique, so think easter colors. The gf of the grooms brother wore a sage green (wedding) dress that in no way, shape or form appeared to be sage green, or any other color.
    The veil she's carrying was the flower girl's (her daughter) This was after the MIL had asked the bride if she could wear a white jumpsuit to the wedding. To which the bride obviously said no.

    This Is What Our Officiant Was Going To Wear Without Telling Us

    Beige hooded jacket and matching pants with intricate tree and knot designs, styled for casual or themed wedding guests.

    We implemented a handfasting into our ceremony because we liked it and we’re not following any particular traditions. This is the only Celtic thing really involved. Our officiant is a family member of my partner who is into Celtic stuff.

    We asked him to write some small pieces in the ceremony script, just stuff like welcoming the guests and any personal anecdotes. He didn’t do that; he waited until we asked what he had 10 days before the wedding and then sent us a google copy-pasted highly Celtic inspired ceremony (like, including rune stones). So we had the realization we should ask what he’s wearing. This is what he sent. I really thought wedding planning might not drive me to insanity but with every day the universe tests me a bit more.

    Officiant has been told he needs to wear a suit. He said he didn’t have one. We told him to buy one. He said fine, but he’s not wearing a jacket because it will be too hot. I am not going to bring up the fact that his original outfit is literally a jacket.

    When A Guest Brings Their Own Confetti That Not Only Doesn't Match Yours But Violates Your Venue Contract

    Wedding brides and guests walking outside historic church while being showered with confetti by guests.

    My now aunt-in-law is a super crafty person and we knew she'd want to be involved in some way so we had her make our favor bags, which she finished about 4 months early. Our style and hers don't really match and that felt like something that would be okay. They weren't what we would have chosen but they were alright and we used them.

    After making those she asked if we needed any confetti. We told her no, we had tons already made from flower petals and leaves. We assumed that would be the end of it but apparently she decided she was going to make some more anyway and not tell anyone. She punched hearts out of white tissue paper, brought it with her, positioned herself to be first in the throwing line, handed some to another aunt next to her who didn't know what was going on, and two of them threw it out. Of course the wind caught it and blew it out in front of us so it's in every photo. We had almost no white in the wedding at all and our own confetti was all natural colors, nothing stark or bright.

    We also hadn't mentioned (because we didn't think we'd need to) that they venue doesn't usually allow confetti outside. They only made an exception for us when we told them the confetti we were bringing was 100% natural materials. I'd dried and saved all the flowers my now-wife has given me over the years, we collected and preserved leaves from both of our yards and some vacations we'd gone on together, and then bought some more flower petals to fill it out.

    My brother, bil, and a cousin had to go outside between photos and dinner to pick up all of the little white hearts so we wouldn't get in trouble with the venue. (We've since bought all of them gifts as a thank you).

    All-in, hardly a big deal in terms of things that could go wrong on a wedding day, but just annoying enough that we're definitely going to remember it.

    Stepmother’s Dress: Double Wedding Day

    Group photo of brides, grooms, and wedding guests posing outdoors at a formal wedding event.

    It’s been a few years but only just found this sub. At my wedding in 2018 at a registry office in Copenhagen my stepmum decided to turn up in a white lacy dress and I still can’t get over how our photos look like we had a double wedding… apparently she had a navy dress she was going to wear and asked my stepbrother‘s gfs opinion the night before and she pushed her into the „cream“ option.
    The wedding was in the big city hall, which hosts multiple ceremonies a day with couples constantly arriving and tourists visiting the building. The most hilarious part was that there were some Chinese tourists who started taking pictures of me… and then turned and took pictures of her too!

    I’ve never called her out on it and our relationship is otherwise good, but lowkey holding onto this grudge forever. Needless to say my relationship with stepbrother‘s gf though is non-existent.
