“That’s It, I’m Wedding Shaming”: 40 Times People Just Had To Shame These Weddings Online (New Posts)
There’s one kind of event where everything is at stake. All the money, all the effort, all the planning, all the dreams, and yep, we’re talking weddings.
And when pressure to have the perfect day reaches the boiling point, it basically becomes a real-life reality show with drama, unstaged emotions, toxic family members, entitled guests, bridezillas, and lost grooms.
The content weddings provide us is so immense that wedding shaming groups have been popping up one by one on social media lately. This corner of Reddit known as the Wedding Shaming subreddit is also a destination to shame anything from wedding themes, vendors, brides and grooms, in-laws, and Uncle Bobs, and boy, it’s been buzzing.
Below we collected some of the new posts shared on the community, so scroll down below for some crazy nuptial drama. More wedding shaming content can be found in our previous posts here and here.

Wedding Shaming, The Dear Prudence Edition
Check Out This Horror Of A "Mother"
It Truly Is Funny How Being A Part Of Someone's Bridesmaids Or Being The Maid Of Honor Is No Longer Chosen By How Close You Are To The Bride But By How Well You Fit Her Aesthetic
Once got told to ‘make an effort to not take the attention away from the bride’ by a then friend who was getting married. She meant ‘lose weight and don’t use walking aids’. Didn’t attend and haven’t spoken to her in over 22 years.
No wedding has gone without at least a tiny drop of drama. This is because people put the pressure on themselves a little too much, until for many brides and grooms, it becomes unbearable.
To find out more about navigating your perfect day in a way that doesn’t cost all your nerves, Bored Panda previously spoke with Jen Glantz, the founder of Bridesmaid for Hire and The Newlywed Card Game, a 3x best-selling author, a voice of You’re Not Getting Any Younger podcast, and the brains behind Jen & Juice coaching, digital courses, & the Pick-Me-Up newsletter.

Asking The Girl Your Fiancé Groomed To Be Your Photographer For Free
It turns out that conflict and drama starts as early as the bridal party. “That's because weddings are filled with decisions, pop-up challenges, and a lot of emotions. When you bring your friends and family into that equation and ask them to stand by your side, while also giving them a to-do list of things you expect them to do during your wedding adventure, it can bring a level of intensity that didn't exist before the wedding within that relationship,” Glentz explained.

A lot of conflicts, however, could be avoided with better communication and slightly lower expectations, Glantz argues. “So much can be avoided if the person getting married clearly states what they want from their bridal party and the people in the bridal party openly share what they are able and willing to do before the wedding process even starts,” she told us in a previous interview.

But no matter how much drama weddings may have, you may wonder if it’s still okay to shame these events and the people behind them. After all, are wedding shaming groups considered to have some form of hate that may be harmful to their targets?
Well, we previously asked that question to Darlene Lancer, who is a therapist, relationship & NPD expert, and the author of "Codependency for Dummies." Lancer explained that according to the FBI, “hate groups” direct their hatred against a particular race, religion, gender, ethnic group or people of a particular sexual orientation. They investigate these hate groups to protect democracy and individual liberty. “So defined, wedding haters and shamers are not members of a ‘hate group,’” she said.

Having said that, Lancer explained that blaming and shaming often is done by people with low self-esteem and who carry shame themselves. “They shame others to project and rid themselves of the shame they have inside, which is often hidden and unconscious. Projection is a defense that works for them. It may be fueled by anger and envy because of the widening discrepancy between classes of haves and have-nots. Aggression and envy are also defenses to shame.”

Since she is an adult, she can pay for her wedding herself. If she can't afford it, it's her problem, not her future in-laws. A wedding can always be modest.
If you are getting married because you are looking forward to spending the rest of your life with a wonderful person that you love, then how much you spend for the first day of your marriage shouldn't be a big deal. If, however, you are getting married because you are expecting a huge blowout party and are mainly concerned about how to get others to pay for it, then why are you actually getting married?

I thought the bride's parents were supposed to pay for the wedding, plus a dowry a sewing machine and a pressure cooker. I must be getting old. /s
I came here to say the same thing. But I thought the dowry was supposed to be a few goats or a cow or something.

Traditionally, it has been the parents of the bride that have paid for most expenses tied to the wedding. Nowadays, it's generally expected that if you want a wedding, you'll be paying for it yourself. Any other expectation of someone else to pay for "your special day" (aside from parents who are willing and able to contribute) is gauche and smacks of entitlement.
We got married for the cost of the license, the officiant and a nice bottle of champagne and we are quite happy. It's the people that count, not the show.
I insisted on a nice cake rather than the champagne (my bride is not a bubbly fan). There is a minimum that is necessary (license, officiant, witnesses), and anything more than that are luxuries.

People who spend thousands on a wedding are just insane. You can have a very nice day with little money and spend all that money on things that will last longer than most marriages.
?? My parents worked hard all their lives, paid 3 kids éducation but if i marry, 200$ (in fact more €) would be the absolute max they coule give me .. bourgeoisie at its finest.
If I were the groom... I would be running in the opposite direction of this greedy twat!! I paid for my entire wedding and didn't receive a gift from my husband's family or ours...his were deceased and I lost both of my parents within a year of the wedding -appreciate HAVING parents and grow the f up!!

My parents didn't pay for my wedding. My husband I paid for it. This post is just ridiculous. Your parents giving you 30K is kind of ludicrous. You should have had a cheaper wedding and used that money towards a house.
And they also paid for her education, as well as her brother's. They didn't put away ~$100k working low-paying jobs. It sounds like they have been in a better financial situation than the groom's parents. But even if the groom's parent had similar/better finances, they aren't required to give them any money for a wedding. Her comment about them spending more on holidays than the wedding smacks of entitlement. The audacity of them spending their own money on themselves 🙄. If she can't put together a nice wedding for $32k, then she's the problem, not his parents. She should review what she wants and cut out the unnecessary. She absolutely doesn't need an avatar unicorn. 🦄

This is the most entitled thing I've read in a while. You got 30K (!!!!) for a wedding. You could put a downpayment on a home. I get that for a lot of people weddings are a big deal, but people give what they can or what they feel is appropriate. Like some people have said- if you're going to be that traditional then, traditionally, the bride's parents are supposed to pay for the wedding. You're lucky they gave you anything. Not everyone has the same priorities with their money. I would never put aside money for a wedding. Its ridiculous to me. The fact they worked hard and put money away under the assumption you were going to want to get married was risky. Be happy with what you have. And personally, I'd take 3k out of that money and elope, and have a great honeymoon. And put the rest in the bank to start your lives a little ahead.
I'm seeing a huge red flag here. If she's starting off her married life with the calculator in her brain going day and night KA-CHING KA-CHING KA-CHING it means she is not going to be able or willing to see her partner as her equal. My heart goes out to him. By the way, his parents owe you nothing. But they must be terrified now to see their son walking into the financial meat-grinder that will be his married life.
My parents contributed $0 to my wedding. My husbands parents paid the bar tab. I paid for the food , the suitS & dress hire from my savings & the small amount my grandmother gave me. We had a small simple wedding ie what we could afford. Geez $30,000 that’s a new car or a decent deposit on a house. NO ONE IS OBLIGED TO PAY FOR YOUR WEDDING.
I don't know how much average wedding cost, but she already have $32,000 - it's a fortune, if you ask me. It seems ridiculous to pay all that money for opulent wedding decor. And even if she want to spent everything- don't tell me you can't have nice wedding under $32,000.
The average cost of a wedding where I live is 39,000. My small 60 person wedding was somewhere around 25,000. Nice venues around here cost more than my entire wedding. The venue my family set on was humble and still cost over 13,000. Prices are getting really out of hand.

if you gave me 30k I'd be buying a HOUSE. wtf are rich people seriously. also isn't xtian tradition for the BRIDE'S FAMILY to pay for the WHOLE wedding???
Spoilt brat! Maybe they can't afford to. Pay for your own wedding, oh no you don't need to because your parents already gave you an extremely generous amount of money!
Aaaaand this is why I'm not ever having a wedding. Way too much money and a lot of stupid drama.
I dont understand what makes people feel so entitled that their wedding wont be good if it doesn't cost as much as a luxury car...get the funk over yourself, you're not important, nobody is in the grand scheme of the universe. Too much commercial brainwashing..if two people truly love eachother and want to spend their lives together a $50 or $50 000 dollar wedding isn't going to be the difference...
My parents both died before I got married. So from them I received nothing. My spouse's family is not wealthy so we had to pay their cross country expenses just for them to attend our wedding. 7 flights, 7 hotel stays, Clothing & food for 3 days. So combined my spouse & I received -$12,000. So I would like to as politely as possible like to say screw off.
This is ridiculous. Originally my husband and i were just going to have a small backyard wedding when we were gonna pay for our wedding. But my mil (very well off) insisted on paying for our wedding so we decided to have it in our favorite place in the Colorado mountains (live in texas). Mil was pi$$ed cause she gets "elevation sickness" and couldn't go (very long back story to the quotation, lets just say she lied to her son so much that she believes it, really overdosing on presciption drugs). We wanted a small wedding, which we did $5000. She wanted us to have a big blow out wedding. Everything was booked and paid for. After we get home from wedding/honeymoon. She wants my family, who isn't as well off, to pay for half. I explained it to my dad and he was very upset because he said if he was told that he would have saved for it. So we got to use our wedding gift from my parents to pay her ($2000) and told her it was all they could afford. My dad even asked in the planning months if he needed to put in for it. She insisted he didn't. I absolutely hate my mil for this and many worse reasons.
Why not planning with the money you have instead of deciding a wedding that cost an eye and then being pissed because you can't afford it and nobody wants to do it for you?
Screw the wedding; buy property with the 30K and have somewhere to live for the rest of your life. Blowing it all on one day seems so ludicrously wasteful.
I pray my children never have such entitlement nor do they decide to marry someone else who does. What happened to staying humble and kind?
It would seem those two words are not currently in her vocabulary...but the should be! Kindness really does matter.
Load More Replies... My father did the same for both me and my sister. I was simply grateful for an unexpected gift from the father of the groom for a wedding which we were otherwise paying for ourselves. My sister made it abundantly clear to everyone that she didn't think she was getting enough money (to pay for the raw silk dress by THE Emmanuels (of Princess Diana fame)). (My wedding was a gathering of friends and family - with my wife allowing my sister (who had a health issue that made her massively overweight) to be a bridesmaid. My sister's wedding was a narcissistic extravaganza where the whole of my side of the family were made to feel like second class citizens who were only there because we were needed for the photographs.)
Now do the smart thing and take the $32,000 and put a down payment on a house; and get married as cheaply as possible. I've never met anyone (that's not very wealthy) that's spent tens of thousands on a wedding and thought it was worth it a year later. They all wish they would've done something else with it.
If you are old enough to get married, you are old enough to pay for your own wedding. Can't have a hundred thousand dollar extravaganza? Tough. The only contribution my family made was my mom arranging the flowers bought at the grocery store around the cake and the room. Did not expect anything in the way of cash. Married 33 years until my husband's death, longer than a friend who had a huge cathedral wedding, and broke up after four years.
Our Dad always said he would give us $500 (back in the 80's) if we would just elope! (He died before we could see if he was serious about his offer. He was very frugal about everything else in life, so I'm sure he was serious about that, too!)
WOW, entitled much? At least now his parents know what a money grubbing little narcissist their son is marrying.
I would have been horrified if my parents tried to pay for a function that I, as an adult, arranged for personal reasons.
My wife and I budgeted our expenses without relying on either of our parents helping out. They did help out, we paid cash for everything, no loans or credit cards. It's over in a blink of an eye, nobody will ever remember much about it, ever! Enjoy your night, you don't have to try and impress people with an expensive show.
Wow, I am amazed at the what's the word these days? 'entitled princess '
I dont think everyone has 'money put aside for their daughters wedding & education' so she should just be happy that they've already received what they have and move on.
Having an expensive wedding is a choice- perhaps his parents don’t believe in extravagant events and opt to choose experiences instead? Or, saving that money for: furniture, an investment, a down payment or? When we married it was quite simple. This could be because of cultural beliefs, as in OP’s parents believed in lavish events and the fiancés parents do not. Appearances can be quite deceiving- my husbands parents are well off but very prudent with money and expenditures. I actually thought they couldn’t afford certain things because in contrast, my family had nice vehicles, nice clothing, not flashy but not so simple and economical. Try instead to focus on the significance of what marrying actually means and adjust accordingly. My in-laws are wonderful people, albeit quirky by being what seems to be stingy at times but very loving, open and beautiful people. Don’t let this disparity limit you and your relationship with them. How one handles money and materialism differs!
My wedding (granted 20 years ago) cost $12k. For everything. In one of the most pricey cities in the US, San Francisco. I don't know what 12k is adjusted for inflation, but I sure hope it's not 32k. That sounds so wasteful.
I applaud the parents who have the good sense to not give their kids an absurd amount of money for a wedding. It's ridiculous. If you're old enough to marry, you're old enough to know YOU should pay for the way YOU can afford. I think it's obscene that people pay so much for a wedding today. Half will be divorced in 10 yrs anyway.
The 30k should be more than enough, I seriously will never wrap my head around how these people think. She is in no place to get mad at them for "not prioritizing" HER wedding.
i was married for the price of the license and 4 jars of homemade canned Salsa and pickled zucchini
What a shallow person! If she can't put together a beautiful wedding for $30,000, she needs to reconsider her wants. How dare she put down the groom's family for enjoying life with their children instead of saving every dime for her wedding! What an entitled, spoiled brat! The marriage will survive or dissolve regardless of how much was spent on the wedding.
It’s the brides family that pays for the wedding here, they should plan around a 30K budget, that’s plenty.
How dare they spend all their hard-earned life savings on themselves? Grow up, b***h.
Um? My parents gifted me nothing and my husband's parents are dead. You are lucky you got a f-ing cent. Ungrateful.
Let’s see my mom and in-laws gifted me…. their presence at the wedding. It’s shiz like this that makes me embarrassed to be a part of this culture that does weddings like this. 🤮
I have paid for my daughters wedding. I thank God I get a break at my son's.
Traditionally, the bride's family pays for the wedding. But 32k is outrageous IMO.
My wedding was under $6000 including my dress. If my parents gave me $30000, I'd put it down on a house and cover the wedding myself.
32k for a wedding and you want more? Wow. Good luck with real life. And Brides parents pay, not the grooms.
How dare they spend their own money on holidays for themselves rather than pay for their son's wedding 🙄
Ok let's see here how can I put this: you're both adults so why should your parents pay for your wedding or even contribute? If you two want to get married then save up plan it and pay for it yourselves because your parents aren't obligated to pay for anything period. Wake up and smell the coffee and have a fresh cup. It's your wedding do the adult thing and pay for it end of story get out of your feelings and put your big girls pants on and pay for it or go to the courthouse. You have nerves of steel to feel some type of way because your parents didn't give you more money get over yourself
Are you f***ing KIDDING??!? In the first place-WHY-in these times, hell, in any time, would you even THINK his parents could or would come up with money like that? So, your parents saved $30k for your special day-whoop-de-f***ing-do!! YOU are the one I'm agog at. His parents are still in shock that he even WANTS to marry a selfish b***h such as yourself. They've probably worked hard for their money and even giving you separately-$200 each, was hard--THEN you made your fiancee ask for MORE??? And YOU have the gall to feel "hard done by"?? So, you don't care if your future in-laws had to beg or borrow the money, or never go on vacations again because they're TOO busy paying back the loan for your F***iNG BIG DAY??? God, I am so glad I'm not related or even friends with such a SHALLOW biatch as you😝
This is what you get when you're called princess all the time and nobody ever punches you in the face.
This is not the dark ages. You don't give a dowery, you don't depend on only parents to pay for it, and people need to really think about how money is going into a single party. If you can't plan a lovely day for $32000, I really hate to think how you live you life in general. Are you spoiled, are you a Karen, delusional, or are you planning to spend more than that because your lifestyle and jobs can afford you this luxury. If you can live the luxurious life, then you can pay for your wedding. I had a wedding for under $2k total. Dress, suits, lovely stone chapel in a field with lovely landscaping on a creek, and extensive horderves for a nice reception, and a cake made by a friend of a friend that matched the one in the wedding guide I found. {And made with NO Fondant!}
I hate it when people frame something as a "gift" and then proceed to act entitled to receive one for x and y reason... if it's a gift, then it's not an obligation. People need to learn that parents are not obligated to contribute to their children's weddings... have the wedding you can afford, if your parents offer monetary "gifts"... cool, if not... no issue because you already have it covered by only hiring the services you can afford.
Maybe this was all his parents could afford. We don't know how much they're spending on holidays - could be a lot, could be train and hotel money for a weekend in the country. Either way it's their money, not hers.
The idea of the bride's parents paying for the wedding stems from when women were property. It should stop being a custom in the 21st century. As should the engagement ring (unless both partners are gifting them to each other).
Great example of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing to have. She needs to stop trying to rely on tradition before it bites her in the a*s. Traditionally,. the cost of the wedding was entirely the bride’s family’s responsibility. (It eventually morphed to the groom’s family covering the cost of the rehearsal dinner, but that’s it.) Assuming, of course, that the bride was still living at home under the physical and economic control of her father (or another male guardian who stood in lieu of her father). If she is an independent adult living on her own, the costs are hers (and her fiancé’s) to bear.
I paid for my own wedding, my parents helped even though I didn't ask them to, as an adult I assumed I would cover all of my costs because I AM AN ADULT lol
Why waste so much money on something so trivial compared to the rest of your life? My "parents" gave us $25.00 for our wedding gift. I was embarrassed for them.
Short answer: 0$. =>Your wedding = you pay the bills. Parents want to chip in, great, but THEY ARE IN NO WAY OBLIGATED TO DO THAT. Grow up and pay for your own party instead of trying to shame someone else into doing that, and be greatful for whatever gift, big or small, that you get. A gift is something that someone gives to you because they want to, not because you are entitled to it.
So parents shouldn’t have holidays? Pay for your own wedding, it will make you appreciate it.
My inlaws tossed in 50 for a gift card to a store that was going out of business. And have recently called us freeloaders, since I stay home and care for my disabled husband ( after working FT for 40 yrs). Saying that... I think that kind of money for a party is kind of ridiculous. I barely remember mine ( too many nerves, I did not drink).
Oh man, look a wedding is a party and a marriage is whats important. Our wedding was roughly 5K everything included (dress, hair, food, venue). And I still have people tell me it was the best wedding ever. Most of the budget went to food and booze because... party. Kept it at 32 people and it was a blast. Granted this was 16 years ago (in Ontario Canada) so I am sure you can do something for 10K. :P
My 24 yr old son and his fiancee are paying for everything themselves for their wedding
The bride's parents pay for the wedding groom's parents do a lunch or dinner for the wedding part the day before. That's it! This much money could put a downpayment on a home or buy at least one brand new car!
Here's one excerpt from Martha Stewarts page on who pays what. Hasn't changed much over the years. Traditionally, the bride and her family are responsible for paying for all wedding planning expenses, the bride's attire, all floral arrangements, transportation on the wedding day, photo and video fees, travel and lodgings for the officiant if he comes from out of town, lodging for the bridesmaids (if you have offered to help with this expense), and all the expenses of the reception. The bride personally pays for the wedding flowers and gifts for her attendants, the groom's ring, and a present for him.
This is no longer the Stone Age. A couple who wish to marry are 100% responsible for funding the wedding, and NO ONE ELSE.

Nothing Says Love Better Than Dead Fish Instead Of Flowers
No! First off, black moor and fantail goldfish wouldn't be cheaper than flowers in most instances. Feeder goldfish are cheap as hell but fancier varieties are at least a few bucks a piece...and they definitely aren't meant to stay in a vase. Goldfish need well aerated, cold, filtered water as they breathe from their gills and produce a ton of waste. You'd literally be killing those fish over the course of the event and even if you gave them away and/or kept them, it's highly unlikely most would survive. Goldfish will grow as big as their environment will allow and keeping them confined like that is bad for them and will leave them swimming in & breathing their own filth.

I would NEVER pay to be at a wedding. Here in the UK I’ve never heard of anyone having to pay for their plate or simply to attend. A gift is not mandatory either….yes it’s polite to bring a gift for the couple but you get them what you can afford. If you want to get married, you pay for the wedding. It’s that simple. If you can’t afford a big wedding, have a smaller, more intimate day. So much attention is payed to the wedding day when it’s how you go forward as a married couple that’s more important.

I am an Indian.. our wedding have totally different.. I am always getting nervous attack whenever I got invited to my American friends .after reading this I don't want go any weddings here .
These are more like already terrible people who now have the excuse of a wedding to be awful, rather than a reflection of American weddings. Likelihood is if people are nice enough that you are their friend, they probably are not one of these people :)

Wow. So glad I haven't had to go to a wedding in over 20 years, and I don't anticipate any for at least another five. IF there is one in a few years, it would be held in our minister's home, where we meet for Sabbath services, and only with people well known to all of us, and much loved among us. No drama, no MIL trying to be the center of attention, and nobody upstaging either the bride or the groom. Everyone in my own family that would be married is already so, but even the older of my two nephews, when he chose to get married a dozen years ago, did so quietly, with only his brother and sister present---didn't invite my sis, and she wouldn't have gone, anyhow. No angst, no anger, and no gifts expected, just whoever was there, enjoy yourselves at the restaurant afterward, bride and groom's expense. Can't stand the entitled young people of today and their foolish, selfish, self-centered demands.
