45 Times Weddings Were So Bad, They Got Shamed On This Online Group That Doesn’t Hold Back (New Posts)
A wedding is not just like any other event, it’s a grand celebration that requires a lot of meticulous planning, time, effort and money. And when things don’t turn out as planned, there’s always an uncle or relative ready to point it out. Picture Aunt Mary critiquing the uncomfortable and unflattering dresses worn by the bridesmaids. Well, someone needed to say it. But it doesn’t end there. Apart from sharing their complaints in person, people are now taking their judgments online too. From questioning the groom’s funny hairstyle to finding faults in the tacky venue, nothing escapes the keen eyes of these online wedding shamers. In fact, there’s an entire subreddit called r/WeddingShaming dedicated to thrashing anything from wedding decorations, the music, and many other gaudy details. They don’t even spare the brides and grooms. Keep scrolling to look at some new posts shared in the community about crazy wedding drama.

Guests Must Wear Yellow, May Not Speak Aloud
I misread Emily D and expected a more poetic response.
Load More Replies...Yeah the silence thing is weird. I wanted to see and hear my guests enjoying themselves at my wedding. Silent reception sounds boring.
Load More Replies...Quaker services are silent until someone is moved to speak. The reception is a reception - Quakers aren't silent everywhere.
Where's my invitation? I'd like to attend wearing a spongebob costume.. Or pikachu maybe?
Everyone looks great in yellow, right? No. They do not. I have more clothes than. Know what to do with. None of them are yellow. I have a lot of clothes that are wedding appropriate, and I will not buy a new outfit to be a guest at a wedding, unless that counts as my gift.
White Woman Worried About Her Venue Staff Being Minorities
I think they mean it in the way of "Is it problematic that white people get served by minorities" in regards of political correctness
That was my thought. I think I'd feel a bit colonial if all the guests were white and all the staff were not.
Load More Replies...I own a wedding venue on my farm. We are in a U.S./Mexico border state. Almost half of our employees are Hispanic or Latino and all are legal residents of the US. I’ve had two clients cancel their wedding because they ignorantly believed we employee illegal immigrants and therefore refuse to give money to an “unAmerican” business. I’ve had at least a dozen clients ask for the farm to hide our “illegal” workers for their wedding. I’ve had four clients ask for all white staff for their wedding. Needless to say, their contracts were immediately cancelled and they were forced to find another venue.
I think she meant she doesn't want it to look like white people catered by only black people. As it might look a bit segregated in roles... Maybe a bit of oppressor guilt syndrome. That's how I read it. But I don't know why she has no colored friends though....
That's how I read it, too. I would feel a bit weird too if my wedding-party was mostly-white and the staff was mostly not-white. Just ... A bit of a strange feeling. Although what she thinks would happen if she brought it up is beyond me.
Load More Replies..."A little sensitive" --- no, you being sensitive is the opposite of the issue. EDIT: Unless she's misread, and the issue is that it looks bad all 'masters' are white and all 'servants' are nonwhite... But that seems her own problem (invite nonwhite guests; don't fire nonwhite staff).
I thought she meant that it didn't look right for an all POC staff to be serving an all white wedding.
Or maybe the person was concerned about the optics of having an (almost) all-white party being served by all non-white people and felt that was the institutionalized racist part?
I think they're worried they'll look racist having people of color serving white people.
Load More Replies...Honestly, I would be concerned by this. At least where I am. Not an issue with minorities having a job, that's fine by me, and if that's the way the cookie crumbles, so be it. My concern would be that the job they are doing (and by extension the employer) is undesirable to those who have more of a choice. I do not want to pay for a service if that service exploits minorities and immigrant workers to keep costs down.
I actually worked as a cater waiter for a wedding. I was sent over 3 hours away because I looked the "most Jewish" and " least offensive". If I had known that ahead of time I would not have gone. In addition to being racist they had problems with everything. Even complained about me "stealing their Hors d’Oeuvres" which was absurd because I don't eat seafood and they had to pay me extra to carry the tray. So yeah, there are some truly crappy people out there who actually care what ethnicity their servers are.
Surprise! A Pregnant Alien Officiant
Seriously, wtf. Unless this is normal for their friend group and the young couple enjoyed themselves. But otherwise wtf
From the Reddit post: FOR THE RECORD: the original poster shared context in the comments and this was absolutely loved by the bride and groom, who approved a wild character officiant, and who have a thing for aliens and cryptids. There was no shame here. Only delight. I guarantee if they'd wanted her in something plain, that's what she'd have worn. Not everyone has the same vision for their wedding, and this one was loved.
Load More Replies...The original poster said that they knew she was going to be in some kind of wild costume. The surprise was what the costume was. They love aliens and cryptids so they were very happy with the surprise. Of course if they'd said all that in the post and not the comments they wouldn't have got so much attention. So they weren't doing the wedding thing to steal attention, but the post was definitely click bait.
Because they loved it as they knew A wild costume was following, just not WHICH.
Load More Replies...This is the visual representation of the fears of conservatives coming to life: a pregnant alien officiating a wedding. 🤣
Couples want their big day to be (extra) special, so they spare no expenses to ensure the celebration is memorable for everyone. As per a study by The Knot, the average cost of a wedding in the USA in 2023 was $35,000. And that doesn’t even include the cost of the engagement rings. Well, the cost of getting married has increased significantly over the years. In 2007, the average cost was around $16,000, but by 2017, it had jumped to $28,000. Imagine spending so much money, only to realize the venue was smelly or the dance floor was slippery.
Planning the perfect wedding is never easy; it takes months, if not years. It requires attention to numerous details: venue, guest list, invitations, attire, catering, decoration and so much more. And, even though the bride and groom and their families put collective efforts into ensuring everything is the best, there are chances that things are a complete disaster (even if the disaster is wilted flowers).

Wow...just.....wow....Nice friends. (See this is one of the reasons I'm not a big fan of weddings...1 of the reasonS)
I would have called the Fraud Division of my local police to see what my options were.
A bride dress shouldn't cost more than $500 and I'm overpricing it. You are using it once.
Pregnant Sister Obviously Got Pregnant On Purpose To Ruin The Wedding…
Idk why should she have to postpone her wedding (which I assumed parts of is already paid for and planned) because of her sister? While OP is reaching more than a little thinking it's on purpose, it kinda looks like the parents have a history of prioritizing her sister since they're so quick to dismiss OP
Load More Replies...Is the bride to be being dramatic about her sister getting pregnant? Most definitely, but why should she postpone her wedding because of if?
This is what I was thinking, it can't be cheap to change a date or venue like that, and I mean why would her sister need to be there for the birth of their kid?
Load More Replies...I'm just imagining her sister in the bedroom... getting pregnant on purpose: "Come on baby ...make it count.... give it to me... I need to be pregnant to teach that little bratt a lesson..." 🤣🤣🤣
From A Wedding Group, Bride Is Mad Because No One Has Sent Gifts Yet
Three months left, the parents might even get some of their money back if he runs now.
Load More Replies...Yeah, how dumb can you be? Obviously it's supposed to be, "Done boughten."
Load More Replies...My parents has spent.... Wth.....? And SHE wants something back.
Load More Replies...But the definition of a successful celebration can differ from person to person. “Instagram and Pinterest give us a vision of what a ‘perfect’ wedding looks like, and anything less to some people is not good enough. But these images are usually filtered, photoshopped or styled by professionals. So, while these platforms can inspire wedding days, it sets a standard in some people’s minds of what it should or shouldn’t look like,” Kate Beavis, who runs a wedding blog called Magpie Wedding, told the BBC.
However, sometimes, it’s a possibility that certain aspects of an event may fall short of expectations. In such instances, it's important to address the issues rather than overlook them.
I Have No Words For This… Absolutely Heartless
"Aww I love my best friend apart from how she super doesn't fit my wedding vibe oh wells". People are diᴄks.
I mostly agree, but in this case not d***s, but c***s. Do not misgender :D
Load More Replies...What a nasty woman. Both her fiancee and her best friend need to get rid of her.
One of them is the other's best friend but it's not mutual.
Load More Replies...Wow of all the posts here this one is the most cruel imho! Completely heartless, shallow and hurtful. I really hope her friend has now better people around her <3 I understand sentiment to childhood dreams of wedding but as you grow up they should grow with you and adapt to people around you... Whenever I see this "I dreamt of this day since I was a little girl" I just know that bride didn't check one single thing with the groom to make sure his dreams are also considered :(
My Cousin Is Butthurt That No One Is Donating To Their Wedding …
Some people also actually attempt to sell TICKETS to their weddings to "cover costs". Tacky.
To be fair, my ex wife and I decided to get married then through no fault of ours had to go bankrupt (she was diagnosed with breast cancer and I had to give up work to look after her - there were no alternatives). So once she gets the all clear 2 years later, we floated the idea of asking our friends and family to contribute towards the wedding breakfast, reception and entertainment (which eventually was done for free by a good friend). Anyway, no one complained, it was one of the nicest, kindest, well organised, quirkiest and laid back weddings I've ever been to - and I've organised hundreds as a hotel manager / Chef over the years. We couldn't go on honeymoon but had a quiet break away just to get our breaths back before heading back into work. We were together for 7 years afterwards but gently drifted apart and even though we knew we still loved each other, we weren't really made for each other. We are still friends and always will be.
Load More Replies...Ours was big, cheap and awesome! We had the service at our church; reception in a local hall (friends decorated it before the service); lunch was jacket potatoes and extras; our friends played and called for the ceilidh; and it was utterly perfect. I think it only cost about £500 including clothes and legal stuff (probably could have been cheaper, if we cut back on some things).
Load More Replies...Weddings are not expensive. They only become expensive when some (mostly certain kinds of brides) have unrealistic expectations, thinking it is some fairy tale and the groom is only there as decoration. You need a licence, possibly rings (if you want) and somewhere to marry. Special clothes and cakes, receptions et cetera are optional.
IF can't afford the wedding you WANT - wait and save up?? Oh, you can't?? So your " friends " have to cover it instead?? I once attended a wedding in a school hall, with fish and chips served as the food, both bride and groom were just happy to have there day with the people they care about....
My niece and her husband were asked to pay $5000 each to be in a wedding party, this would be on top of the cost of clothes, gifts, parties, showers, etc.
Just go to the registry office if you can’t afford a do. They’re not compulsory!
Or keep the wedding small. My wife and I got married at a local park, immediate family only, and the reception was in our backyard. The most expensive thing was the caterer.
I had a big wedding in 1997, and it was a total waste of money, and the marriage lasted less than 3 years. My current, long-term marriage started with me and my husband getting married, just the two of us. We hired a reverend, and she married us in her garden. It was cheap, and far better than my wedding experience. I would give having no wedding five stars.
MOTB In White! It Literally Looks Like A Double Wedding To Me
Am I missing something? The mother of the BRIDE is hanging all over the groom?
The little kid is cute though as a 4 year old I was taught not to wear white to a wedding. (I had found a really cute dress but it was white so my parents said no)
In some places it's traditional or common for the flower girl to wear white, often somtbhing that looks like a tiny bride's/princess dress. I don't know where the tradition is from. This only applies to the flower girl or girls (or sometimes boys, in a little white shirt and often suspenders) and not to any other kids who are invited.
Load More Replies...The biggest chunk of most wedding budgets is spent on the venue. Couples roughly spend about 37% of their overall budget on it. But finding the right place can be quite tricky. Sometimes the price tag of the architectural wonder you love doesn’t match your humble budget. Then there are questions about capacity, amenities, and other fees.
This Woman Is Probably The Biggest Narcissist I’ve Ever Met
She wore this to her college friends wedding (the groom.) She’d never met the bride prior, and the bride was wearing a very very simple relaxed gown.
Looks like someone was hoping the groom would pick her over the bride...
If you're classy enough to wear a wedding dress to someone else wedding, you're kind of classy enough to think a restroom door is the perfect place for a photoshoot 🤷🏻♀️
Load More Replies...She just made herself look ridiculous. Maybe she should add a polyester veil and a plastic flower bouquet
Shows the need to have a bottle of red wine in the bride's room, so that somebody can pour a glass and trip and stain the dress of anybody other than the bride wearing a weeding dress
I Feel Like I’m Missing Something That Makes This Cute
It's either that or it's not actually bullying and he's just making her look bad over minor annoyances. Either way it doesn't sound like a relationship they should stay in. Because either he's in for a really bad time or she's going to get tired of him humiliating her.
Load More Replies...This was tweeted without context, and the person who posted it keeps saying people are judging without context instead of providing the missing context. So either she's a bully and he pointed it out, or he made a stupid joke about "bullying" that wasn't really bullying. OP insists the vows were "genuine and loving."
There is no context in which 'you are a bully' is a good thing, even said jokingly, at a wedding. It's ugly.
Load More Replies...Well, at least he's got his list of reasons all prepared for the divorce lawyer.
There's no line. Bullies are their victims' abusers.
Load More Replies...Mother Of The Bride. Bride’s Dress Also Had Bejeweled Top And Float Bottom
Everything is given suffficient effort and lighter fluid.
Load More Replies...White is usual the color of surrender. But when a mother wears it to a wedding, it is a declaration of war.
Had to reread the heading. I thought that was a photo of the bride!! (before realising it was the mother).
don't you hate it when you accidently wear the same outfit and someone else?
Of course not. I love to find someone else with the same taste as me.
Load More Replies...When you need to compete with your daughter at every level, including at her wedding. Yeah, red wine stat!
After spending all that time and money to find 'the place', it's only fair that the couple should be informed about any shortcomings. For instance, sometimes the venue might not provide essential amenities like clean restrooms or sufficient parking space. In such cases, guests feel inconvenienced or frustrated. They have a right to let the couple know about their sufferings.

How Dare My 30yo Bridesmaid Have Some Grey Hair!!
I REALLY hope the bridesmaid saw this and dropped out of the wedding. Even better if they took their real friends with them.
Tell her for sure, then she'll know what a vapid lil so and so you are and she can dip, giving her a free day to enjoy!
I've been a bridesmaid 3 times. Not once did we have a "monthly meeting", or any meetings whatsoever! That's crazy.
I've been going grey since 18. Really glad I don't know this person. Twatwaffle.
I have a memory of when I was 18, sitting in a car talking to a friend - she randomly reaches over and yoinks a hair out of my head and says, "oh look, a grey hair". (and it was). I didn't actually get seriously grey hair until the "usual" age but I was surprised I had one so young. Now that I'm in my 60s my hair is still mostly dark brown but it's pretty obvious there is also a lot of grey in it. But I've had friends who went grey a lot sooner and it is just how they were and nobody cared. (and possibly I had some who did care and dyed it and I never knew)
Load More Replies...Anyone associated with this bride has ample reason for going prematurely grey.
Eww. 1. HER big day, again. 2. So bridezilla expects her friend to pay for this? 3. Grey hair is unsightly? Hello? You'll have thosr too? Unless you want to shave your head? What an idiot.
She says she wants her bridesmaid to do it, but it's too expensive for her to cover it, so bridesmaid has to? I feel icky.

Or don't buy cheap stuff, made by poor people in horrendous working and living conditions. Find a tailor in your town and negotiate a fair price.

Should have asked one of those 'thousands of illegal residents' to bring it over with them...

Yes, I'm sure there's an international plot to keep her wedding dress out of the country, just for funzies.
"We Are so sorry. There was a line of people waiting for the same order at our sweat shop..."
Why is everyone here assuming that anything made outside the US is made in a sweatshop?
Load More Replies...The bride would prefer those immigrants stay in their home countries to work in sweatshop factories making bridal dresses for her.
Well if they had jobs in their home countries they probably wouldn't be risking their lives by trying to walk to the US.
Load More Replies...As per USA Today Life, in 2007, only 17% of couples had a theme for their wedding but in 2017, nearly 50% had one. People want their functions to stand out from others and that is why they have more customized events. As the soon-to-be partners have so much on their plates, adding an extra task can be challenging.
For instance, the happy couple decided on "Vintage Romance" as the theme. As a special touch, they add a vintage photo booth with props like feather boas, top hats, and antique frames so that guests can take fun photos. Now imagine, the camera man or woman completely ignores the people at the booth. What a shame, right?
Only Some Of You Can Eat! Posted On Local Radio Page
In the Netherlands it is quite common to attend the ceremony, then the bridal party enjoys a lunch or dinner and other guests are then invited back for a reception with drinks and snacks..
Same in Belgium/Flanders. At the reception there will be some snacks or sandwiches for those who weren't invited at the lunch/dinner.
Load More Replies...Not everyone can afford to feed a lot of people. It is odd, but, they are honest. The potluck dessert was a clue. Those that traveled far, may not have $$ for car rental etc. Consider their wallet stretched as far as it could, the rest is we want you to share in the joy. My wedding was mid afternoon and a very tight budget. (Not unusual where I am from)there was a few fruit desserts and salads and cake and ice cream. Even though we planned to cater 20% more people than invited. We ran out of food. We, bride and groom had a few bites of cake. That was it! My in-laws took it badly and they went out all of them (Very large family) had a party all by themselves and my mother had prepared a big luncheon the next day, of simple food,at our home, for them. They left my (VERY small) family sitting alone at our home,with the food mom had prepared. and no guests
of course they need to feed family and out of town guests, but this dessert idea is fine if they don't have the money to feed everyone. Not everyone has a big blow out dinner, why do we think that is traditional--this wasn't even common in most "ordinary" weddings until the past few decades.
Oop is the bad egg here. Nobody ows you food, especially peicy catering. Had they asked out-of-towners to feed them self, then that would have been bad.
If you expect people to travel and dress and spend a day for your wedding, it behooves you to make sure they are fed.
Load More Replies...Why? You'll only go to a friend or family's wedding if they can afford to feed you in the manner in which you expect? Just don't go, but there isn't a thing wrong with this.
Load More Replies...If you can’t afford to feed all your guests, shorten your invite list.
Vegan Bride Bans All Omnivore Guests From Wedding
As a meat eater I would not have a problem with a vegan dinner. I love to try new food. However uninvite someone because they eat meat is stupid. But you don't need to serve meat. As a guest I strongly believe you eat what you get served - unless allergic.
Same! If I was ever invited anywhere, anywhere at all, and they only served vegan meals, I’d find something to eat because it’s free food, they didn’t have to go through the effort and I’m a guest, so it’s only polite manners. Even if I didn’t find something my somewhat-picky self liked, I wouldn’t dare complain (I’d just drink a lot of water and then eat when I got home).
Load More Replies...She missed an opportunity to show off how tasty and flavorful vegan dishes can be.
Two questions. (1) How did she know which guests were omnivores? (2) If she knew, why did she invite them in the first place?
I would love a wedding with only guinea pigs as guests! And it would also make for the cutest wedding pictures ever.
Load More Replies...BP had a full article on this one https://www.boredpanda.com/vegan-bride-bans-all-meat-eating-family-friends-wedding/
Isn’t she an omnivore too though? Veganism is a choice. Omnivore just means being able to digest both meat and plant based food.
I eat meat, but when a friend of the family (who is vegan) had his 50th birthday, I of course ate the vegan food that was served. Mostly completely OK, but I was disappointed about the main course which looked like juicy vegan meatloaf but instead was a dry lentil-filled disappointment.
Well This Should Be Fun - Online Wedding Group Drama
Kinda hope the other kid decides to try to cut her hair with kitchen scissors just a few hours before. Not anything against a random 4-yo but it's likely to happen sometime and now would be a perfect time
I picture this bride getting ready to come down the aisle and halting the wedding so that she can organize the guests for a more pleasing look...
So this person didn't actually ask the little girl to be a flower girl? She just posted online about how ugly a child is and how fortunate she is to have a daughter. WHY share any of this? What a terrible person.
Catering, band, liquor, DJ, lighting, and decor are some other significant aspects of a nuptial ceremony. For instance, the food might not be good due to reasons like stale dishes, poor presentation or inadequate serving staff. Similarly, even with beautiful decorations, there are chances that the center pieces are dirty or flimsy. Or the bride could go into bridezilla mode due to the pressure of perfection.
Future Bride Thinks The Handmaids Tale Is A Perfect Theme For The Wedding
What (as a woman) makes me even angrier than mysogynistic men are misogynistic women.
Has she even read the book? Watched the series? What has to be going on in that empty head to want to celebrate and emulate a situation where women are used, raped and, for all practical purposes, enslaved? Unbelievable.
Because the thought of a romanticised mass grape dystopia is perfect for that day...
This Is As Tacky As It Gets... Not Even A "Buy The Bride A Drink" Just $$$ Please
I hate living in a society where it's become the norm for (some) people to ask strangers for money, often for ridiculously entitled reasons.
I wonder if these are the same kind of people that rage over homeless people begging for money to not starve to death? 🤔
I can't imagine driving by this and thinking, "Oh, I should donate to this RIGHT NOW!"
I l love it when garbage people announce to the general public just how trashy they are. It allows me to give them a wide berth.
I saw something similar at a hotel we were staying. "Girls weekend! Buy us a drink! #....."
I would send a venmo asking for money and some snarky comment about how this was such a kind way for them to share their joy.

Dave Smithson from Anxiety UK said, “Sometimes anxiety can affect us so much that we feel genuinely paralyzed when it comes to making decisions.

Financial worry, family pressures, conflict and decision-making are all common concerns.”

Cringy, but they're not hurting anyone, so if this is their thing, that's up to them.
Why does it matter? People can be as trashy as they want at their own wedding, as long as they're not hurting anyone.
I don't have a problem with this. Their wedding, their sense of humour.
You Must Go Into Debt To Be In My Wedding
I can promise that the following day, if any of the guests are asked "What were the groomsmen wearing on their feet?" no one will remember, and if they do remember they won't know or care that they were custom.

All this additional pressure of not meeting personal and societal standards can make a person feel easily irritated or moody. The extensive decision-making process along with the immense amount of preparations could cause individuals to lose sleep or feel extra tired. It's important for couples to remember that minor problems are inevitable.
Family Wedding In India
The groom’s sisters had dresses, makeup, jewellery and hair done similar to the bride. The only difference is bride’s red wedding bangles. That’s a lot even for Indian customs!
We are absolutely fine with this. Someone who has no idea how Indian marriages with large families work has posted this as a problem.
This post screams "I have no clue about other cultures and am not willing to learn". I have no idea how common this is, so I won't judge at all. Those are absolutely gorgeous dresses.
Load More Replies...There is tradition in Indian wedding where sister of groom and bride wear similar dresses . During my engagement , myself and my sil wore similar sarees .. it's not a big deal.
In ye older times bridesmaids and groomsmen had to dress just like the bride and groom to confuse vengeful spirit presences.
Wasn't that a western tradition? I wouldn't be surprised if it was tradition in other cultures too since it's common to link evil spirits to wanting to target highlights in someone's life, but I know it was a thing in medieval Europe.
Load More Replies...Yeah, perhaps look into other wedding traditions outside of the States...
There’s no such thing as upstaging the bride in Indian weddings as everyone wears the best clothes they have. Dressing up to resemble the bride though is a bit of a s****y move
They do say marry into the family.. what would been custom for the family to have?
Every woman at an Indian wedding is going to be absolutely blinged out. There is no such thing as overdressing for an Indian wedding. But deliberately matching so closely with the bride would be considered a d**k move unless they did it with her consent. The bride still expects to stand out and there is no way they got so perfectly close to the colours without doing it deliberately. I hope it's with her consent because otherwise she just married into the family from hell because it's very common to live with the in laws and have to defer to your MIL. If that MIL isn't a good human that can become very miserable very quickly. Even if they don't live with the family the daughters in law are usually subordinate to the mother in law.

"I Just Thought Your Wedding Was The Perfect Place For My Child's Birthday Party"
That 14 year old was probably mortified! I can barely stand hearing ‘Happy Birthday’ within my own home on my birthday, could you imagine it at a wedding?
I wanna give my kid a really expensive birthday party without spending any money. And hey, let's get someone else to pay for it!
I think it is the lack of consultation with the bridal couple. If I would have had my wedding planned on someone else's birthday and would have been informed of that on forehand, surely we would have found a good momentum to squeeze something in to celebrate that too....
Load More Replies...Learning to let go of the need for everything to be perfect will help make the planning process more relaxed and enjoyable. Accept the fact that you will go through a lot of emotions before the big day, including stress as a bride or groom. All you need to do is have a healthy approach to manage those feelings. For instance, if at the last minute, the bridesmaids complain that their shoes are not comfy, you can graciously ask them to wear their own footwear.
Ah Yes. Someone Potentially Dying At Your Wedding Is A Much Better Idea Than Simply Not Having Seafood For One Day
To be fair, it's not like there are literally thousands of other things that could be served at a wedding.
Imagine being forced to have beef, pork, chicken, turkey, vegetarian, lamb, rabbit... the horror!
Load More Replies...A friend's step sister had seafood at her wedding. Friend is allergic to seafood and the server used the same serving spoon between whatever it was and the seafood. Friend ended up going to hospital in an ambulance.
The bride should tell the maid of honor about the seafood. That way the MOH will realize how selfish and shallow the bride is and drop both out of the wedding and the bride's life, thus treating two allergies at once.
I went to a beautiful wedding recently where the B&G looked so perfect and everyone was crying during the vows and all round it was a magical day until the food was served at the reception and first one person and then another and another stood up and screamed "where's the f**king seafood!"
It's totally unfair we can't eat what we want just because ONE person might die.... Do you want your MOH at the wedding or in hospital? It's not a difficult question.
You are wrong here. To OP it is clearly a difficult question.

My Mum's 'Friend' Had This Dress Especially Made To Wear To My Wedding
My Barbie had that exact dress in the 1980s. I never paired it with a black bag though...

Moh Too Busy Texting To Watch The Ceremony
Shop her out, move the others forward. i say that like I have any photoshop skills.
Maybe there’s an explanation - the groom and her’s mother / father / grandparent couldn’t attend the wedding and so she’s updating them by messages and photos during the event. In which case it’s bride and groom allowed it. Otherwise, what an a***hole for not putting the phone down for the ceremony and photos.
Load More Replies...If I had been one of the other bridesmaids I'd have ripped it out of her hands and thrown it. Or shoved it inside my bra. How disrespectful!
Photoshop all but the bride and groom out. Five minutes’ work. Result: nice photo of back of the groom’s head.
Isn't it possible that she's posting it to a live feed so that someone who could not attend could watch?
Of course I would deliver them. Nothing wrong in capturing what happened that day.
yes, find someone with great photoshop skill and edit that disrespectful b***h out!
Teamwork is dream work. You don’t need to take all the responsibilities of planning on your shoulders alone. Simply delegate some of the work. Also remember to set realistic expectations. Most importantly, take care of your physical and mental health during this busy time. Instead of striving for perfection, people should focus on what truly matters: enjoying the special day and cherishing the precious moments with your loved ones.
So, while it’s arguable whether or not one should shame wedding blunders, people online don’t hesitate to call out such instances. After all, you learn from your mistakes (especially after you see them online). Which hilarious wedding moment did you think was the most trashy? Have you ever experienced any wedding drama? Tell us!
The Rant, The Comment From Her Moh, Oh My God
But has a good ending!

I haven't been active, I haven't been texting much, and I haven't been chatty regarding the wedding. I have a bunch of personal stuff going on she was unaware of as I was stuggling to communicate those things to her.. So am currently chatting with her about it and we are gonna get to a resolution 😊💕"
Groom Party Had An Interesting Take On Attire
I really love the flowers and color of the bridal party's dresses .
Unusual colours for a summer wedding, but they look fantastic. And while I dislike the way the groom's side is dressed it was clearly all planned because those colours coordinate. I think the men's outfits look tacky, but it's not my wedding. As long as the bride didn't mind, its MYOB time (and gossip in secret with your friends about it).
Load More Replies...I don't see anything wrong with this. If everyone is happy and no feelings were hurt then its all good
This is probably how mine is going to be. My fiance hates formal clothes and I love getting dressed up. Why not do a "where whatever you want" dress code?
Load More Replies...To be honest, if the bride and groom were both happy with this, who cares what anyone else thinks? Maybe she wanted a lovely dress, he wanted casual, so they both agreed on this compromise.
Can't be Aussies, since the guys are wearing shoes not thongs (flip flops)
People forget that not all girls like a man in tie, it may be the groom's choice to wear this, it might also be that the bride think he looks really attractive like this. I would rather see my boyfriend wearing something that makes him look like HIM, instead of wearing something that doesn't fit his personality at all, to me it would be silly if he wore a suit because n'either of us like suits. And I would still wanna dress spectacularly myself and he would also enjoy seeing me wear something spectacular, so we would also be a couple where 1 is very dressed up and 1 is very casual looking. By the way, the groom and best men did make an effort: the groom wears white like the bride and the best men wear the yellow from the bouquets, and all of them wear a similar color pants.
Bridezilla Upset Florist Is Having Surgery 8 Weeks Before Her Very Important Wedding… (The Comment Section Was Not On Her Side And She Left The Group Lol)

Can the bride actually read, or has the wedding cluttered her eye sight? Or is she just the most self absorbed creature in general?
"a quick buck" not sure how anything related to weddings is quick or simple.
Whats the big issue here, she asked for the florist to clarify that she will be able to get things ready for the wedding that they've paid a lot of money for. If the florist didn't mention her surgery before (and it sounds like she didn't) then she has every right to ask the question

Bride Asks If It's Tacky For Her Future Sil To Get Engaged Two Months Before The Most Important Day Of All Their Lives
No, your sister-in-law is not tacky. You, however, are blatantly self-centered and selfish.
C'mon, you know that you can only have one announcement/wedding per decade! 😂😂
Load More Replies...It would be tacky if the proposal was in the middle of the service; two months out, is nothing to do with you
Well, at least we do not need to determine the center of the universe anymore.
So her boyfriend proposed and she was supposed to say, “No, I can’t. Please ask me again in a couple of months.” Would OP have delayed her engagement for somebody else?
It was tacky of your future sister-in-law not to talk her brother out of marrying you. Obviously, making a case would not be a stretch.
Unless the SIL is announcing at the wedding, don't see how this affects bride at all.
Unless she's keeping it a secret and springing it on the wider family at the wedding it will be old news by then.
I Doubt This Qualifies For High School Volunteer Hours

Load More Replies...And not how school volunteering programs work, either.
Load More Replies...I'm not saying this is a good idea (it's really not under most circumstances), but I have seen people use things like this to get their required community service hours in. In the US (at least in some areas) most high school seniors need to have accumulated a certain number of community service hours before they graduate. There are all sorts of ways people can accumulate these hours, though. In my hometown there were several teens who regularly helped with events, even parties, to help get their hours in (and there still are, it's a very small town/village). The people throwing the events were grateful for the help, students grateful for the hours, and it just worked. I got mine in different ways, but I can see why this might be a thing in some places and not others. It's not something someone should EXPECT, but I can understand why some might ask if it's something that happens where they are from.
The places/events (at least in the US) must be approved by the supervising agency or individuals for credit to be given. That is ridiculous to think that some entitled knuckleheads can claim CS hours from probationers. Grow TF up.
Load More Replies...My advice: pay a caterer or roll back your wedding plans to something you can afford, you cheap biddy.
So they are called cater waiters... For minimum wage you can get a bunch of them. And for teens that actually need volunteer hours to graduate, this wouldn't actually count.
I don't think working at a cheapskate bride's wedding counts for volunteer hours.

Will Threatening To Sue My Friends And Family Make Them Attend My Wedding
Obviously, saying you will come and then just flake out is very bad form. I guess I just wouldn't invite them at all in that case., if you had serious concern they would act like this.
At any party over ~15 people there will always be one who said they'd come and then don't show. With 50 people I'd estimate between three and six dropouts for whatever reason. However if many guests are unreliable like that you end up ordering and paying way more than neccessary for food destined for the bin. I'd be *angry* for this little consideration happening on a grand scale, not to mention feeling let down by my nearest and dearest.
Load More Replies...Just have a conversation about what the real issue is, and that is that this person's family would flake on their wedding. Don't sue them for $20, tell them to be decent or there won't be future invitations to anything.
This is quite fair. Obviously, it would be worth good money not to attend this wedding. (If you're wondering how much it costs in addition not to attend the bridal shower - well, if you have to ask, you can't afford it.)

That dress is silver colored not white. I mean it is still ugly and I'd never wear it if I had that belly and butt, but it is kinda okay.
If You Have To Ask If It’s Tacky, It Probably Is…
Paying you $50 to attend your wedding has the same net effect as paying myself $50 to stay home. Decisions, decisions.
The only thing saving this idea would be if you simultaneously told people that them paying for the "ticket" would basically be their present to you - and that no other presents are required.
If you're getting money from your guests, you're not exactly paying for it yourselves, are you? Also, I don't think you can call them "guests" if they have to pay to attend; I believe that would fall under the umbrella of "customers."
So in addition to paying to get to the wedding, pay for lodging, pay for clothes, pay for a gift.... you have to pay to attend the service. I'd plan for a small wedding love.

Classy people don’t take engagement photos with guns. That’s why you’re not receiving any suggestions. Hope that helps.
I mean... You *could* do like a Western theme photoshoot, and the whole 'big Iron on my hip' thing. But in modern attire... Maybe a James Bond type theme? I just don't think it's possible to look classy with a gun without a theme.
There's no way on Earth to make that classy. That's why you can't find any photos!
"Is it even possible to take classy gun engagement photos...." No. No it is not.
You should be able to make it look classy. Posing with really pretty clothes, gorgeous makeup and perfect lighting in a very chique room with chandeliers, posing in high fashion type poses. Also, not necessarily classy, but there's plenty of other cool wedding pictures you can make with guns: James Bond style dapper pictures, Mad Max style action pictures, science fiction/cosplay with giant fantasy guns, Old West saloon style clothes and rifles.
Also unless the guns are literal toys this is a good way to replace wedding photos with funeral ones. Real are not props or playthings.
This sounds like a job for a Photoshop professional (don’t even begin to think that service will come cheap — fee would be similar to a professional photographer’s). Do it like a Chinese restaurant menu: choose stock photo of a romantic setting and costumes from Column A: Hawaiian scene, Paris locale, Manhattan lights, Vermont autumn, Victorian parlor, etc. Choose firearms from Column B: shotguns, handguns, sniper rifles, muzzle-loaders, AK-type rifles. A talented Photoshop artist could propose some nice combinations of your choices.

That's quite an assumption, that he doesn't really care. Maybe he even cares 10 times as much, but he actually cares about promising to spend their lives together, and not about superficial stuff like how they look. Or who knows, maybe he actually likes a suit, but he knows that it makes her super happy to see him wear clothes that fit his personality, so he might be dressing this way for her.

Geez. Our Minister was surprised that we ordered him the same meal as everyone else. I can't believe that someone wouldn't feed them.
Is the food part of your salary? I mean, sheesh, it doesn't look like much when it comes to a catered meal, but I have never understood why people work and expect to be fed. I once ran a business--from my home--and would occasionally have a crew work for. me. At lunch these men would stand around like, 'isn't someone going to feed us' and I would be like, 'what the h*ll, you guys couldn't figure out how to feed yourself when you're working?"
I agree with you. I would assume this is the meal that everyone received. The food is what it is, eat it or don't. The business transaction is to take the photos. And the photographer is not going to be sitting and eating at the same time as everyone else. Or shouldn't be if they're doing their job.

Load More Replies...We don't have the best relationship but if my mom could just look past that and just pay for everything that I want and then I can just ignore her again after the wedding. Is that too much to ask?! 🙄
Let's clear up this misunderstanding. If a bride still lives at home and has no source of income, parents are expected to help with paying for the wedding. If the bride lives on her own, parents have no obligation to help whatsoever. Of course this is a general rule, but the important part is that there can be no expectation of parents paying for a wedding if the bride doesn't live at home.
Let's clear it up further: excepting perhaps an arranged marriage, the parents of the bride are under no obligation to pay any portion of the wedding costs regardless of her living situation.

Bride Wants To Send “You’re Not Invited To My Wedding” Messages With Save The Dates
Or. Or. She could just do her wedding and send out "hey look! We got married!" postcards.
You NEVER inform people that they are not invited to a wedding. If you have a small party and you don't feel like having to explain why to dozens of people, sending out notes will not prevent that because there will be a lot of hurt feelings either way. The only way to do this without causing hurt feelings, broken friendships and acrimony is to marry in secret and then have a reception to which you invite those you didn't invite to your wedding. Also, if you're not invited, why on earth would you want to save a date? Anyhow, the above solution is, etiquette-wise, the correct one, but you're not really concerned with that, are you?
If you have the type of family that might just assume that they can come "no invitation, no problem, we're family" you may need to be explicit. Considering the person mentioned "only 14 family member" and other limits I don't see this as selfish or unreasonable
She might know that some of her family members automatically assume they're invited and their invitation just got lost in the mail, and just show up. Or she might be worried lots of people will assume to get invited, and will start calling to check whether they indeed weren't invited or if something just went wrong with the invites, and she might find it painful to tell them on the phone that they indeed are not invited. So this is not necessarily bad.

Yet Another Groom Terribly Dressed And Overall Ick
I always worry that the women in these photos have lived a life of sacrificing their wants and needs for others for so long that even for their wedding they don't feel they should speak up. The look tells me "I don't care" is just euphemism for "I won't rock the boat". Sure, it's absolutely possible they're in full support of their husbands dressing like... That... But in this picture especially, look how gorgeously she and the girls are dressed! The mismatch says she's settled for a mismatch, and he's not one to pick up his socks or anything else from the living room floor "hahaha! Men. So quirky!"
What's wrong with this one? If the key people are happy and comfortable, who gives a f*ck what anyone else thinks?!
People are so judgy. I married my hubby for the person he is, not the clothes he wears.
Not My Post - Bride’s Father’s Best Friend Suddenly Died Today And She Wants To Uninvite His Widow
This one is actually a reasonable thing to be grumpy about. But, obviously, no, you can't uninvite someone from a wedding.
I would say it depends. If she's verbally or emotionally abusive, she can be asked not to come. Just because it's not the "nice" thing to do doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. Toxic people need to be dealt with.

I actually think she's being reasonable. It's not like she doesn't like the girl. I agree with her definition of who her bridesmaids should be. If her fiancé wants his daughter to be in the wedding party, then break tradition and make her a groomswoman. I'm a guy, and I had a close female friend stand on my side.
For anyone in a similar situation. My godmother wanted me in her wedding. I was 14. She created a junior bridesmaid role and another girl from a family she was also close to and i were dressed slightly less flashy and more age appropriate. It was sweet. I didn't ask for the role and didnt expect to be in the bridal party in any way, she just really wanted us included.
This one doesn’t seem to belong. If there is only one BM, having it be your future step daughter doesn’t seem appropriate. She’s trying to find ways to include them. Hopefully someone told them they’re not too old to be flower girls or suggested another option. But she seems like she’s legitimately trying to find something to include them. The part about the cold feet is a little cringy though.
Guess she's never heard of Junior Bridesmaids. Their dresses usually look similar to the bridesmaids but more age appropriate (modest) for preteen girls. The two girls walk down together holding small bouquets. Boom problem solved. But.. I don't see this marriage lasting anyway.
I can't think of a better way to tell future step-daughters they're excess baggage...

This one doesn't seem so bad. They seem to legitimately want advice. Sometimes, it's hard to back off from something you really want, so it helps to have other people keeping you grounded.
And it looks like they are trying to make it as comfortable as possible. Not a bridezilla.

If it's only 30 minutes with hot cider and blankets and people are warned beforehand I don't think it's that bad
Load More Replies...I'm getting married in December, which yes, is pretty far out, but I'm doing the same thing as this person. I'm providing blankets, cider, hot chocolate, reminding everyone to dress warm, and the reception is going to be inside, its just the ceremony
I've been to many weddings where guests have said "I though it would be a cold day in hell before these two tied the knot."
Eight degrees above freezing is too cold. Yeah 30 minutes isn't long, but people will be miserable for 25 of those minutes and will be thinking "when can I get inside?" instead of "look how lovely they are".

(Celebrity Wedding) Axl Rose Showing Up In Green At Slash's Black And White Wedding
Just to add context to this picture. They had just taken a picture of the bridal party and groomsmen, Slash sparked a cig and invited Axel to join in for a photo. Without context this makes it appear that Axel was the only person out of the entire wedding party wearing colour, when in fact many people were, he wasn't a groomsman so is not matching the others in the photo.
If Axl Rose is coming to your wedding, this is the best possible outcome. It could have been way worse.

One Of Those Things That Lives In My Head Rent Free
Amy Poehler inexplicably wore a white dress to John Mulaney's 2014 wedding. (Why? Was it a joke? A genuine faux pas?) Now you have to think about it too.
Okay, I was raised in Denver and have never heard of this silly rule of not wearing white to a wedding. I mentioned it to a friend who was raised in New York and she’s never heard of it either. Where dud this rule come from? And when?
Really? It's pretty common and hotly debated. The idea is that the Bride should be the only one in white, lest attention be taken away from her. Some brides don't care either way, some brides hire security to make sure no other white dresses get in (not a joke, someone posted about it somewhere).
Load More Replies...Bride Won’t Pay For Deaf Sister’s Sign Language Interpreters
So, all she's asking for is food for the interpreters and a place they can stand? That's hardly unreasonable!
I'm kinda torn, here. If it was my wedding, I would pay for the translators (although, I'm not sure there needs to be two of them). But that's just me. I'm not sure if the couple should be expected to pay for them or not. If she's allowed a plus-one, then I would think that she could bring a translator in lieu of a date. The only similar scenario I can think of would be inviting a person that needs a caretaker. However, I don't really know what is customary for that, either.
There needs to be two of them because they will need to take breaks (interpreting is exhausting, plus most paid work mandates adequate breaks) so the deaf person does not miss anything while an interpreter is having a break.
Load More Replies...It seems to me that the "half"-sister isn't even that if she's not willing to cough up $100 or so to accommodate her disabled sister. OP should consider skipping the wedding entirely.
Doing sign interpreting is exhausting. You would normally have two that tag team each other throughout - half an hour at a time or similar. They need to have a drink, go to the loo, sit down for a bit, stop the I tense concentration for a bit. If there are two then the deaf person won't miss anything.

It's clearly what they wanted. They are obviously getting married on a beach and wanted him in something more casual. What does it matter?

Saw Someone Selling Wedding Items - The Mismatch Here Hurts
Exactly. For all they know it could have been a loving thing. Like he didn't have enough money and offered to give what he had towards the dress she wanted. Not everyone has parents who drop $50-100K on their wedding.
Load More Replies...I am a little torn on this. The bride might want to dress up but maybe the groom doesn't. Is it fair just to require that he dress up [not talking the shorts and t's; this guy has put together a nice outfit if not my taste] for her 'dream'. I hope couples are comfortable with letting each other have their wishes fulfilled even if it's not to their taste. You love the person, not the dress or tux.
Another Case Of A Groom Being Underdressed For His Own Wedding
I see nothing wrong here. This wasnt a " i cant be bothered" groom. They deliberately chose the outfit and bride was happy. We shame people who demand a picture perfect wedding, but then also shame them if they dont wear what we consider appropiate attire ?
It does sound like bride was originally going to be dressed casually too, but then just found a really nice wedding dress.
