Bride Annoyed As Uninvited Guest Catches Her Bouquet, Trashes The Wedding Officiant On Social Media
Wedding planning requires a lot of… well, planning. From coordinating clothes the couple is going to wear and overall dress code to the place where it’s gonna happen, activities, food, guest list… You get the gist: a lot of things need to be coordinated very carefully.
And so, it can be very frustrating for the couple if someone intervenes with their plans by, for example, bringing their own guests. Yes, such a situation does indeed happen. And in the case of this story, the random guests were brought by the person you least expect.

And so, it can be beyond frustrating if someone decides, let’s say, to bring their own guests without approval from the couple, just like in today’s story

In the case of this couple, it was their officiant who brought extra people without ever asking to do so

When one of these randos caught the bouquet, the bride’s patience with the whole situation was gone

Interestingly, this officiant wasn’t even chosen by the couple, but given to them when their chosen one backed out

When the bride learned he backed out to perform a ceremony for someone else, she didn’t hold up in the review
The couple’s chosen officiant backed out due to personal reasons, and they were assigned a replacement, who was said to be a professional. Well, turns out his professionalism was debatable.
You see, he brought his own guests without consulting the couple. Then, these uninvited guests decided to participate in activities meant for the guests that were invited, like a bouquet toss. If that wasn’t already bad enough, one of the strangers caught it! This was awkward for the rest of the guests and infuriating for the bride.
And the story only goes further south from here. Turns out the original officiant, who backed out due to health problems, didn’t have any. He just performed a ceremony for the other couple on the same day, and the OP found out about it because it was posted online. So, she was infuriated even further.
She posted a review talking about this whole situation and received a 10-paragraph text message from the officiant arguing about it. He argued about the bouquet being caught fairly (proven false by the video).
Then he doubled down on his lie about surgery, which she proved false too and talked about how the replacement officiant was right to stay at the celebration even after his duty was done. Basically, he tried gaslighting her, but it was unsuccessful.
Well, at least netizens agreed with her that everything the officials involved did was unprofessional. After all, it’s no secret that wedding planning tends to be a rather stressful experience. Of course, you’re planning a nice celebration of love, but that kind of adds a certain pressure to everything.

Despite those expectations, the couple must maintain their head above the water. To do so, they can create specific plans that keep them on the right path, make a planning timeline, and just set realistic expectations overall. Yes, the wedding is a big event that a lot of people expect a lot from, but it shouldn’t be so torturous that it creates a rift between a couple.
If the stress of planning starts getting to them, hiring a wedding planner is always a good choice. These people basically take care of everything – from initial vision and budget to vendor bookings and day-of execution. Since they’re seasoned professionals, you can trust them to create your dream event.
And still, even when the wedding is planned to the perfect bits, either by the couple or the planner, that doesn’t mean that something unexpected won’t throw it all off. Like uninvited guests who take their turn in your bouquet toss. In this game, the person who catches it is “the next one to get married”. In the past, it used to be seen as a folkloric sign of good luck in relationships, while nowadays, it’s more like a fun game.
So, technically, it’s supposed to bring good memories, joy to the people at the reception, but in the case of this wedding, it was just awkward when a stranger caught it – it’s hard to share joy with a person you don’t know, isn’t it?
That’s why there is no surprise this bride decided to speak out when the officiant put her party into such a situation. What would you have done in her place?

Netizens thought she had the right to go off like that – both of the officiants were acting like big jerks and deserved to be put in their place

Hell no. She paid for a wedding, with a strickt guest limit, and somebody she hires to do their job and then leave, stays and brings two other guests. I don't know about you but do you bring two other people with you at your work and then the three of you stay after hours, while drinking? This is not about getting married to the love of your life, this is about people not doing their job. You don't see the caterer with two friends at the bar. That's because it's not their party, they are not guests, they are working
