If your new husband can’t be bothered enough to at least wear a button up shirt and slacks...then you may need to throw him back to the trailer park and go fishing for a better catch
Imagine if weddings were a celebration of love, and she happened to love how casual and laid back he is, and he happened to love that she accepted him that way. That'd be neat.
One of the most talked about wedding shames we’ve had...redneck mud wedding

The fact of the matter is that it’s far from just brides and grooms who cause drama and create situations that everyone will be gossiping about for years and years to come. There are some truly peculiar people out there who end up being invited to celebrations of love, only to try and ruin them. Some folks simply take pleasure in causing chaos wherever they go. Weddings are no exception.
Anna and Sarah, team leaders at The Wedding Society spoke to Bored Panda about unruly and rude guests, and how to manage them. In short, it’s important to let go of the idea that weddings can be ‘perfect’: some things will go wrong no matter what. So it’s vital to be able to adapt and not take any minor flaws in the plan personally.
you lost me in three words. didnt take much. I'm sending your mom telepathic therapy.
“Some people just want to watch the world burn, and as hosts to an event, it's just something that wedding couples will have to accept,” Anna and Sarah explained to us that the happy couple has to be realistic about the fact that not everyone will be well-behaved and polite on this happy occasion. No matter how much we might want them to.

“Not everyone is going to fall in line, especially your anarchist uncle Jerry with the overgrown beard. That said, try to fall back on your vendor support system as leverage,” the experts pointed out that the marrying couple shouldn’t have to do everything themselves. They can’t worry about every tiny detail or mishap. They should turn to the venue’s staff to help them handle all the issues.
Oh baby.
“Simply saying, ‘The venue has rules’ or, ‘Our caterers have agreed to only..’" is an easy way to take the blame off yourself but still enforce hard rules,” the wedding expert shared how couples can shut down some bad behavior among guests. It’s a way to misdirect some of the havoc-wreakers’ negative emotions elsewhere.
I bet they thought he had a keyboard. Or a big truck and a couple of guys from a moving company
According to the experts, they stressed that they would be “utilizing the professionals” around them for help if they were ever in a situation where disaster’s looming either during the ceremony or the reception afterward.
You cannot convince me that a trampoline in someone’s backyard holds that much sentimental value to any couple getting married
“By now you will have developed a relationship with them [the professionals] and they'll often be more than happy to put the foot down on your behalf—especially venue staff,” they pointed out that the people the wedding couples have hired are there to help in any way that they can.
I think this one is actually a creative dress design. It’s well made and infused with taco scent.

“Have a quiet word with your coordinator or someone else more emotionally removed from the individuals involved and ask them to help you manage,” they shared what you can do if some of your guests start behaving in a way that’s over the line. It’s one thing to cause a bit of chaos accidentally, it’s something else entirely when you’re trying to derail everything because you want all the attention.
I would say what this looks like, but y'all probably already know.
I don’t even know where to start...but y’all should probably get off those train tracks before an actual train wreck happens, instead of the metaphorical one happening with those outfits.
Sadly no alien facepalm emoji, so I'll have to settle for this: https://images.app.goo.gl/QGNXUJKtNA4VFS2t7
Yes, this is a cake. No, they didn't drop it on the floor.
It’s a bit busy, but flowered garnish aren’t bad for wedding cakes.
I might not choose to wear these but why do these deserve to be shamed?

I had to stop. Some of these are crazy for sure. I'm not arguing that. But some of these people are doing what they can with what they have. They just want to be with the one they love. Bad behavior should've been the focus here. Like the lady wearing white to her son's wedding. That's mean. But the rest? Just let people like stuff. Even those horrifying wedding crocs.
If we called it something else 'quirky wedding choices that aren't for everyone' or something, I'd have enjoyed those parts a lot more, too. Because it is neat to see, just...why shame people for doing what they love?
At risk of sounding like a care bear - I didn't like this one at all, and I don't think publicly humiliating someone because you happen not to like the things they do is ok. For some people it would take a huge amount of courage to have that wedding which doesn't match up to societies expectations because they know they're going to face this exact type of criticism - they know people will laugh, say it was cheap, it wasn't a 'proper' wedding and so on, but they go ahead and do it just the same. Not everyone is able or willing to throw a whole year's salary from a well paying job (or two or three years of minimum wage) on a single day just to impress other people. Not everyone has the same style choices, and that's ok too. Does it really matter if they wear jeans, camo, bikinis, or fast food wrappers? If anything those people should be celebrated for doing what's right for them instead of what society tells them they have to do. One more thing.. these are real wedding photos from people's actual weddings. I don't know about you, but I would not like the thought of pictures of my wife and I on our wedding day being splashed all over the internet for people to mock and laugh about. Be kind. /rant
Yeah i can imagine that I would of ended up here cause I am wearing a black wedding dress. But that's my taste. My wedding (vowels renewed actually) and my husband is happy with all of it. What matters is the love during the wedding.
And the love you are bringing to the marriage.
Agreed, except the MIL wearing white, which is just shitty, and let's the bride know what to expect out of that relationship, these don't deserve shame. The BJ calle topper nwas bad though
Being served a tomato. That's the kind of disaster I was hoping for

I've said it in previous posts and I will say it in future posts. No, they don't "deserve to be shamed". As long as they are not causing harm, or humiliating people or something like that, let them have their wedding any damn way they want. Live and let live.
Totally agree, most of these were totally fine. (Apart from like, the confederate flag sash) we shouldn't shame people for doing what makes them happy

So many people think that the confederate flag is racist...its not...google its meaning and/or history...
If you googled the meaning and history of the confederate flag and came away with with that conclusion than you lack a any comprehension of words. The flag literally started because the Southern states wanted to retain slavery. At one point they even had a version of the flag with the x in the corner and the rest was white to reflect their “purity”. I know that a lot of folks want to rewrite history right now but that is dangerous!
some are poor and do the best they can. some have a peculiar taste but hey, it's their day. and some don't know how to behave. the latter deserve to be shamed.
Exactly, a third of those posts are just shaming any wedding which doesn't have a white & beige theme with colour-coded everything. I'd much rather go to a quirky wedding than a stuffy one. (Disclaimer: I've been to a lot of more traditional weddings which were not stuffy at all, and quite fun. It's about the attitude.)
