“Several Inappropriate Baby Videos”: 30 Horrible Or Wonderful Wedding Experiences Folks Had

Why do people do this? I don't think it's fun when it's at someone elses expense and this is just humiliating.

Let's start our marriage with me humiliating and abusing you!

Completely stupid tradition. It ranks along with gender reveal and public proposals and every other stupid sexist joke surrounding weddings. Burn these 'traditions' to the ground and fire the ashes into the sun.

It's far too recent to be considered a tradition. And even if it were a tradition (which it is not), that doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Even worse, sometimes jerks do the face shove. Tiered cakes have supports, people

This is just plain scary.

The lingerie said - "Mommy's Girl"???????????? The whole thing just seems like she wanted to marry her daughter herself and... Just... Nope, can't.

Daughter and MiL looking like they might hook up

Someone should have reminded MIL that the umbilical cord had been cut years earlier

Reading this triggered my anxiety. My ex-MIL was the same exact way.

This is sweet.

Wonderful. As long as you have that longing you are good!

It makes more sense to hire a dress

My dress was reasonably priced and I loved it, but 20 years later it was just taking up space in a closet. I don't have kids. I ended up selling it for $20.

There's no point to spend a fortune on the dress. Just make sure you love the dress and feel great in it. You wear it once and then it's never seen again. Most likely your daughter will not want to wear it because it is dated. After a few months, no one will be wanting to watch your wedding video or look at your album, not even your husband. So save your money!

If you look at the average price of food, flowers, and DJ, photographer, etc. the dress is just a fraction of the cost. Because even an expensive dress is still such a relatively small percentage of the budget I would splurge on the dress and cut back on the food (which is never really great) or the center pieces instead.

Around december 2019 we started to realise what was coming but nobody was prepared.

Still, she's dead now and you're shacked up with Greg, so every cloud ......

My 50th birthday was in April 2020. I got the cake I wanted because I baked it myself.

Sh*t happens...

Especially since you can wear it again (as long as it wasn't white)

My husband and his best man/ushers all wore kilts, which several of them didn't even own because they weren't Scottish, so we hired them. Even the hiring place did a fitting!

Yup, I bought my suit, $500, and that was MORE than my wife spent on her dress.

The small 'hi' and giggles sounds so sweet

That's because you let others tell you what to do. It's your wedding, not theirs.

That is so sad! I hope OP found peace!

Wear a full length dress then nobody can see what's on your feet

As a shoemaker my recommendation is that if you do not get hand made måde to measure shoes (let's be honest no one can afford that) Get an old pair that you know are comfortable and warn in, take them to your local shoe guy and get them covered in matching fabric (or contrasting) to your dress. It will look like a million dollars, the shoes will be unique to you, and you will be comfortable all night! And it won't bankrupt you.

you should have yelled back: "or maybe your horse is afraid of commitment!"

Either the horse was poorly trained, or just too excitable, or the rider was inexperienced. In any case, they shouldn't have been riding out in the open instead of in an enclosed arena or pen.

This happened to me. I just yelled back at her - "I'm wearing a thigh holster. Are you wearing kevlar fatty !?"

"Lady, your face is on your head. And if he can take that, it means he doesn't scare so easily."

What about the wedding rings?!

My regret is not getting a professional photographer. I bought a new expensive camera and a family friend said they would take the pictures. He did a good job but there were pictures that I wished we had taken at the time but didn't (we don't have many with just my husband and I). A professional not only can take great pictures but knows which pictures should be taken.

Absolutely. I remember the make-up lady and hair stylist doing me up before my wedding saying that I was the calmest bride they had ever seen. If they knew my back story, they'd know I don't sweat the small stuff! Other things trigger crises instead, but definitely not some sodding origami or whether people notice the place settings!
