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.

If you have a weird wedding story or some fiery drama to share, you can join the community and get in touch with the founder of the page. You never know, it might be your post that’s amusing everyone next week. Tacky doesn't have to mean unfunny.
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.
Herbalife as a wedding theme? If I were invited to this wedding, I would walk out
“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.

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 think it's very pretty. It reminds me of a watercolor painting.

So... is it INTENTIONALLY designed to look like the cake is vomiting up flowers? Or is it supposed to be a "spilling out of the cake like opening a kids closet door"? Bc sorry this looks like tequila happened to that cake.
Or methamphetamine, but it's really a sleeping schnauzer.

Wow! Hate the design but the flowers are beautiful! Imagine how long that took to make!
Me thinks this was made a few days (or a week) ahead of time - flower placement included - and forgotten about. Once remembered, there was no time to ice the cake beyond its crumb coat, and even then the flowers couldn’t be removed without crumbling to dust. Someone had a vision and ambition, but not the technical skill nor the time management needed to succeed.
God bless you for being so kind with your comments. I hope you are a teacher or therapist. You remind me of my mom 👩

As a cake baker and decorator myself, who has done quite a few wedding cakes, this would never, EVER be acceptable work to provide to any client. The cake has not been fully iced, and some of the flowers being used are toxic and shouldn't be in contact with the cake in any way. By doing so, this baker is putting his/her clients at serious risk. I hope they are bonded and insured, but my guess would be that they are not. This kind of c**p makes those of us who work our butts off in the industry look bad.
It looks like they left it out for three months then added mouldy frosting to it.
My sister paid $300 for an absolutely beautiful, tasteful (and tasty) 3 layer cake from "Great Cakes & Edible Monuments" in Redmond, WA for her wedding. They delivered the wrong MONSTROSITY to the reception venue (Salty's on Alki in Seattle $$$). This thing had BLUE roses melting down the side and pooling on the table beneath. They refused a refund. Oh, Honey - NO - you do not know the Dodson girls. We picketed outside their business for 3 straight days and for every 4 customers, 3 turned away. Yeah, she got a full refund AND they went out of business less than 2 years later.
What is with the petals and that flower top left? That's a dead flower - gross
When I got married a girl I worked with made a big deal about coming to my wedding. So I sent her an invitation and she responded she was coming. She didn’t show up. When I asked her what happened after I got back from my honeymoon why she didn’t come. She told me her community had a yard sale and she made $3OO.
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?

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

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.)

What a snobby post. Not everyone has money to spend on “classy” weddings, and frankly, I’ve been to fancy weddings and they were all boring as h**l. Most of these look a lot more fun.
A lot of these were just people not spending tens of thousands of dollars on a one day party. Who cares if someone wears jeans to their wedding? A few of these (like the woman with the confederate flag sash) should rightly be judged, but people having fun with their own wedding and wearing camo, or having funny cake toppers? GTFO of here with your judgement.
It wasn't a confederate flag, it was a criss-cross hatch pattern, the fabric is on the floor at her feet. It was an unfortunate accident and she doesn't deserve the harassment she got from this.
Load More Replies... Most of these are the couples taste and style. It's their weddings, let them have it how they want it. This is a very Liberal site and shaming these people for being themselves is very hypocritical and narrow minded. Y'all discuss me!
Anyone else getting backflashes to the wedding shaming Facebook group where a lot of the things aren't bad but just being shamed for being a non-typical wedding
I believe all of these are actually from that very same Facebook group. I've tried to look at it & it's a "private group". If this kind of shaming & punching down is how it operates, I'm definitely not 'joining' it.

They don't throw the bouquet everywhere. Lots of places the bouquet is preserved and displayed, so those "alternative" shamed bouquets make sense if you think about that.
Stop judging people just so you can be hateful and intentionally trying to be the worst version of yourself. It's really not that hard to be decent to your own kind. This stuff is not ok.
I think most of these are just matters of taste, and to each his own. Years ago I went to a very upscale wedding with an open bar. The bar opened hours before the actual ceremony, so by the time they were ready to start, at least half of the attendees was pretty well lit. I left when the drunk father of the bride salaciously grabbed a bridesmaid and was pulled off by an equally drunk groomsman, resulting in fight #1. Mother of the bride heard the ruckus and came running out to wail on her husband, fight #2. At the same time, groomsman and groom were having words about the fight with father of the bride, and I later heard it devolved into fight #3. I was told next day that the cops showed up and three people were arrested for drunk and disorderly, and two for assault. The most valuable lesson I learned was if you are having an open bar... don't open too early, or keep it open too long.
I thought it would be fun; not. Then I realized that in each and every case these folk probably knew what was coming. They didn't transform into bad meme's overnight. Years ago there was a wedding shamed and laughed at because they weren't a "main stream" couple. Some time later there was a follow-up and they were still happily married and had a child. We're being snobby. I'm just not letting the world know I am by advertising it.
Some of these were perfectly fine, not everyone wants a fancy shmancy white wedding
My MIL "boooooo"ed when I walked down the aisle. Loudly. Tried to pass it off as a "joke." I should say, "my EX-MIL."
My sister-in-law got married to a guy whose brothers made the DJ at the reception play "Put Another Log on the Fire" at least a dozen times before I left the building to puke (No, I WASN'T drinking.)...
Not everyone can afford to spend thousands of dollars on a wedding. I admire and respect the resourcefulness some of these people have. No shame.
I'll give you one. My dad cheated on my mom and she left him. Came back after all of his pleas that "I'll change". He did not. She left again. After 30 years of him calling her a "door mat", she moved back in with him and then asked for her wedding ring back. (I'd been wearing it around my neck for 30 years). So they were remarrying. My only request was that my sister and I (who totally experienced this divorce), would be included in the remarriage. My father hates any kind of happiness, so we promised no flowers, party, festivities of any kind. So I said, just a nice lunch after the courthouse ceremony. My mom agreed. My dad figures out a way to "remarry" via fax. My sister and I never married. Wonder why.
