People Are Sharing Pics From The Most Tasteless Weddings They’ve Been To Or Seen Online (New Pics)
When you think about it, weddings are a perfect toxic cocktail that gives a chance for anything to happen. Ongoing tension, sleepless nights, bridezillas, tantrums, and even though everyone seems to be walking on eggshells… they’re still wearing army boots.
A fraction of these crazy weddings that basically feel like you’re watching a season of GOT end up on the notorious corner of Reddit known as r/WeddingShaming. It turns out, this is the ultimate online destination for roasting wedding themes, brides, grooms, decor, dresses, in-laws, outlaws, guests, Uncle Bob, vendors, buffet, flowers, or the lack of this stuff. The community’s description speaks for itself: “You name it, we shame it!” so without further ado, I leave the stage to the collection of weddings that will raise not only a brow but the hair on your head.
Psst! After you’re done, check out our previous posts from r/WeddingShaming here, here and here.

To find out more about surviving one heck of a wedding that ends up in the miscellaneous collection on r/WeddingShaming, we spoke with the Redditor Peedidhe who shared a screenshot of an invitation with a caption “I went to the wedding where the bride and groom hated vegetarians.” The image featured a rather rude remark on vegetarian guests: “We will be having a buffet style. It should accommodate all ways of eating, even those who chose wrong and lack taste buds—yes, I am talking to you, vegetarians!”
The Redditor told us that the menu consisted of turkey, ham, beef taquitos in eggroll wrappers, and plantains. “I ate a lot of plantains,” they added. They commented: “Honestly, it's their wedding. If they don't want to cater to vegetarians, that's ok! But... like to acknowledge that you don't have vegetarian food instead of pretending plantains are dinner.”

Plantation Weddings Were Contentious Enough Already

Peedidhe agrees that wedding planning in such chaotic times may indeed be a challenge for the couples. “As someone attempting to plan a wedding in these crazy times, people are getting cast in all sorts of unflattering lights because they don't want grandma to die because she thinks vaccinations are bad.”
According to the Redditor, the pandemic has created a pressure cooker of love, resulting in lots of proposals, and also a pressure cooker of expectation because weddings are supposed to be a certain way. If it was up to Peedidhe, weddings would be planned with guests as a priority. “I think weddings should be planned for the guests rather than for the couple, but I understand weddings that are planned for the couple. It's a celebration of love, and ultimately whatever makes you happy is the most important,” they said and added jokingly: “even if some people have nothing to eat.”
Wowzas.. Father Is More Interested Than The Aesthetics Of His Wedding Than A Life Long Relationship With His Daughter
A crap father with a crap fiancé. Poor child having to grow up with such selfish people. Good on the grandparents.
at least the child will grow up knowing someone loves and cares about them.

That is so messed up. I want to see the comments that roast him in that AITA thread
The light text under the post links to the original. The top comment is that this is fake.

"even if they didn't attend the wedding I wouldn't let them take my daughter"? So, what, he'd rather leave his own child with a random babysitter than his own parents? I hope the grandparents take custody of the poor girl, because he sounds like a horrible father.
I hope the younger's mother is the custodial parent and Ex, daughter, and grandparents can all have a lovely day someplace fun instead of being subjected to the drama of an "exquisite" wedding between two soulless people.

If I was the oldest daughter I would also refuse to go. This guy will regret it years later, but the irreparable damage would have been done alread. The youngest daughter will never forget this treatment.
It says oldest daughter and fiance got along. That js not a good sister, to not defend her innocent sister for simply still being a kid. Sadness all around.

I stopped reading at "and (she) have exquisite tastes". Not if she's marrying this guy, IMHO.
Okay so you pick a lady you've known for three years over your own goddamn child? You absolute scum.
When you already have kids, a childfree wedding is no longer an option. Your life isn't yours anymore. it's your children's. If your other half cannot accept that then that isn't the right half.
Sorry no. I adore my kids but I still have my own life . Just like my kids have theirs . Also, while I personally can’t imagine not inviting my kids to my wedding of course a child free wedding is an option. What if you wanted to elope to Vegas ? What’s concerning in this for me is that the fiancée doesn’t care for young children and is already not getting along with a little girl .. the dad is a d**k to marry someone like that.. the wedding for me isn’t the issue … however this idea that having a child means you no longer have your own life IS a problem for me

I can't believe the nerve of his parents! They can't just abandon their own child like that! /s
Heh heh, I see what you did there. Doubt that guy would get the irony, though.

How do you marry someone who doesn't love your child as much as you? That is absolutely disgusting
Well, in fairness it might be a wee bit unrealistic to expect an incoming partner to love a child as much as their parent who has known them since birth. As long as they genuinely like and care for them and want them to be part of their life - with love hopefully coming along in time that's not unreasonable. Though if they can't be happy with my child around then bye-bye. I couldn't marry someone who didn't want to do right by my child, who didn't enjoy my child's company and want to be there for them. As for the wedding, he has children so childfree is simply not an option.

I don't care if you want a child free wedding but not letting one of your kids go because the person you're marrying doesn't like them is messed up
So, these two have been together for exactly the amount of time it's been since his wife left. Either he got over a 16 year marriage awfully fast or the fiancée is the reason the previous wife left...
Yes, you ATA. If you love your younger daughter she should come first.
This is some f*cking Snow White s#it right here!!! For starters, putting a fiance over your own kids!? I'd never marry someone who didn't like my kid. Period. Also; the no child rule doesn't apply when it's the groom's child! Too, also; if you won't let your parents have her during the wedding, WTF were you planning to do with your daughter in the first place; leave her with a babysitter!? I'm getting angrier the more I think about this! This guy doesn't deserve to have kids at all - well, actually, the poor kids don't deserve to be stuck with this a-hole.
Yes, you and your fiancée are definitely a$$hats. What kind of relationship will she have with that poor girl after the wedding? You need to reassess your priorities!
You're a complete and total AH. You're not prioritizing your fiancee over your daughter, you're prioritizing a fancy "elegant" wedding. I hope you don't plan on having any sort of relationship with your younger daughter other than monetary. You chose that road. You and your fiancee can walk it together.
I can't stand weak men like that. True strength comes from doing what is right, and you can't get rid of your kids. So don't give them an evil stepmother
So... the youngest child's Mother already left her when she was 6 years old... and now the father is leaving her out of his wedding, at the beginning of forming a new family. And he's wanting to know if he's the A-hole?! Um. Yeah dude. You are!
Yes, you are the A. So is your fiancée. You will both probably remain so.
I hope that little girl can go live with her grandparents. Bless her little heart.
He's worried about HIS parents taking his daughter for a special day? He should be worried about the State taking his daughter for a "special vacation" away from mean Step Mommy and Daddy.
The fiancee don't want to deal with a 9 years old step child on the most important day of her life. Wow, how sad. What's next ? Not deal with the kid because it's holidays !? Now is because of a stomach pain.
This is horrifying! I can’t believe someone would even wonder if he was the AH in this scenario!
When you marry you become a family. To leave her out is unconscionable. She expects to be there and why shouldn't she be there? Honey, you both need to rethink your whole lives. Nobody would leave my kid out. Certainly not ME.
My partner was once ejected from a family Christmas as a child because his dad's new girlfriend said the children reminded her too much of his previous relationship. Fast forward 25 years and his dad is alone and now wants to rekindle his relationship with his children. My partner can do what he likes but I can't say I'll be the warmest towards him. Your children always ALWAYS come first.
Creep! Creep! Such a man doesn't deserve to have a little girl! Also, I note that the child's mother left 3 years ago and he has been with his fiancee 3 years, cutting it a little close there, eh?
Yeah, if you have young children, don't marry someone who dislikes young children. If you don't like young children, don't marry someone who has young children. This seems like a no brainer.
Definitely the father IS the a**. What kind of person excludes their minor child from a celebration? And is the fiancee selfish or stupid? She knew this man had children before agreeing to marry him. These people are senseless and cruel to include one daughter and not the other, regardless of age. The grandpatents have their hearts abd heads in the right place.
I wish I could give you 10 likes for that! ;o)

.. I'm at a loss for words, this piece of garbage doesn't even know how much of waste of skin he is...
And this is why I won't date anyone with kids. My entire life my mom chose her boyfriend-du-jour over me. I'm 51 and she still does it. I would be mortified if some guy chose me over their kid. It's wrong on so many levels.
Is this a joke?? What kind of sociopath father is that?? Or maybe it's just a marketing reasearch to see if there is interest in a modern Cinderella story???
He's essentially picked his fiancé over his own child. He also alienated his youngest child, as well as parents and can't understand why they would be upset, is he really that clueless? Father is not a title this man should hold, since he clearly can't be one to his youngest child.
Your a MAJOR ASSHOLE. And your new wife is a real piece of what comes out of the back end of a bull.
WOW, child-free means other people's children, not your own. What an asshat.
Well its likely not his parents fault he turned out to be a jackwagon. They obviously have some empathy.
OK. The child is not invited and will therefore require a care person, yes? So the grandparents (bless) offer to take her and give her a special day. Problem solved. But no, this will not do, apparently. So who, if not the lovely, loving grandparents was going to look after the poor disappointed little one?? A stranger?
This the beginning of every fairy tale. The father rejects his daughter for the new step mother. I am proud that the grandparents refuse to fall into the trope and are showing love for their grandkid.
Just let the 6 year old go and live with your parents now because it's coming anyway. She'll be spared the horror and hurt of the time in between with you and princess.
So, the daughter cannot attend the wedding because the women he is marrying doesnt like small children knowing that he has one before saying yes? The parents offer to take her out for the day so she is not left out on her fathers important day and he will not allow it? I guess the horrible father and finance belong together. How sad this childs mother is not around and now the daughter is being pushed aside for a selfish person.
Yes, she's already been abandoned by one parent. They will be very lucky if she doesn't grow up with low self-worth. It's tough to change the self image developed in childhood.

I read this thread on Reddit. It was made very clear he WTA. I hardly think his fiancée is sophisticated with exquisite tastes if that's how she behaves and if he's the best she can get. Also, if the youngest 's mother left when she was six, and he has been with his fiancée for three years, that means that he was seeing her while with the youngest's mother. Or straight after. I'm not even sure I buy this. Why would she leave her child with him?
Sh*t people do sh-*t things. What a horrible father and soon-to-be stepmother. If I were the grandparents or 6yo’s mother, I’d crash the wedding and announce that the child wasn’t invited to all attending. Because of you think THAT’S drama, it’s nothing compared to these peoples future.
You are so much the asshole that the level you have reached is so astronomical it sucked in other peoples assholes like a black hole
Way too many people with children marry people who have made it clear they don't like children OR WORSE, the new spouse to be's children. Incredibly selfish and cruel. This guy is garbage. The bride too. Poor child.
Been there. It will hit him hard later on! Really Hard. Stupid selfish man...
This is so horrible! I am fuming and sad for this child. Thank God the grandparents have some sense!
You are a total shitwad and your hateful fiance is a witch spelled with a B. I hope your non-attending parents take full custody of the young girl. You are abandoning your own kid for a stuck-up piece of a*s who hates YOUR DAUGHTERA, and btw, if she's so "sophisticated", don't let her see your grammar and spelling errors in your post. You're both disgusting!!!
He won't even let them bring his daughter out even if they are not attending the wedding? That's obviously him being an a*****e to the daughter.
You BOTH sound like entitled brats. Why is she marrying you, knowing you have a younger child that needs a stepmother who will help love and raise her? And you, you ignorant jerk, why do you resent your youngest so much that she isn't even a part of the wedding? She could, you know, be part of the wedding party, and then be taken home (or somewhere supervised) for the reception. What you two are doing is unnecessary. Worse - it's cruel. You're her father, for God's sake. Act like it! Oh - and I can understand why all your previous relationships bailed on you. It is sad that the little one's mother didn't take her. She couldn't be any worse than you.
Oh, boy! You're the double-plus-with-a-cherry-on-top, 100%, 22carat 24-7-365 AH!
What a crappy father. If you don't want your OWN daughter at your wedding, the least you could do is let her grandparents take her out for a special day. But no, everything is about him and his fiancee. Wow. If I was the 18-year-old daughter, I wouldn't go to the wedding and instead join my sister for her special day.
If she can't attend her father's wedding, why can't her grandparents treat her? Why does the child have to suffer alone knowing her father is getting married and she can't be there?
Nope, wow thats pretty F'ed up - Ask yourself this if your Mom or Dad got remarried would you want to be there to support Her/Him "To be included in their life changing celebration"
Most definitely YOU are the AH. And your fiancé is an idiot for marrying you. If you value your own flesh and blood so little, what makes her believe you will love her? You are an abysmal failure as a human being, nvm a father. I hope your daughter can be adopted by her grandparents.
That dad is definitely TA! His young daughter is probably so happy and proud that her father is getting married and to not be invited, but shunned, is a heart break. His parents can see what this is doing to their granddaughter. His fiancee ought to grow up in the mentality department. What the fiancee is actually telling the dad is she doesn't accept his own flesh and blood. A child is not a toy one can put on a shelf if one doesn't want to play with it. Buddy, you better do some serious thinking about whether someone you've know for 3 years is worth more than your child of 9 years... and your parents. And to forbid the his parents from taking his daughter out for a good time? How does he think that little girl would feel sitting with a babysitter while the rest of the family was out having a good time? What an a$$#ole!
I wouldn't want my nine-year-old at a drunken orgy, either. He's an a hole for not letting his parents take the girl out for the day.
Isn't this the plot to Cinderella? Step-mom doesn't like kids so F off little one?
Nah, I get the father’s angle. Just because you have children doesn’t mean everything in the world is made for children. Even if they’re you’re own. You’re still allowed to do adult-only stuff. Weddings aren’t for kids most of the time. Makes sense to me.
Cringe Cake Topper, Not To Mention The Fondant
Animal Abuse! What A Nice Way To Celebrate Love!
If you wonder what’s up with these wedding hosts for behaving this way, you’re not alone. The bridezillas, tantrums, family dramas and whatnot have been all over the media lately, and they are grabbing our attention like nothing else. The audacity, the rudeness, the ego…
The corner of Reddit known as Wedding Shaming was created precisely to share such instances. According to the sub's moderator Luna, “There’s something about weddings, whether you’re invited or not, that just brings out the worst in people.” That’s not to say like all weddings are real-life dramas, but there’s a lot of elements in many of them. Luna believes that the group is akin to a reality TV show, and you can’t argue.

But no matter how popular it may be, the group has also received a fair share of backlash. In fact, some claim it promotes mockery culture, even hate speech. But Darlene Lancer, clinical psychologist and the author of “Codependency for Dummies” and “Conquering Shame and Codependency” with whom we talked a while ago assured us that wedding shamers are not considered to be a hate group.
Darlene further explained that “Ironically, public displays of extravagant and ostentatious weddings may also be fueled by shame where the emphasis is on impressing other people of the family’s wealth and status.” Such behavior can be a compensation for not feeling adequate or sufficiently respected.

Wow really surprised and disappointed at the comments. Some people want people to be comfortable at their wedding and dress how best suits them. Perhaps, like my wedding, we took family photos "dressed up" and then people changed into comfortable clothes as it was outdoors and very warm. If the people getting married aren't complaining I don't see why anyone else would.

I'm really glad that I don't plan on getting married. And that nobody invites me to weddings.
I am getting married. Really exited. Im not batshit crazy tho. There is no dresscode, not expecting anyone to pay anything and im not excluding anyone bases on the age or looks. We just invited people who are close to us.

i dont see whats wrong with number 4 its just a bit of fun, weddings dont have to be super serious
I once went to a wedding for my cousin(hes way older than me ofc) this was when i was younger. I have a huge family, and obviously there would be a lot of kids attending. The menu had all these fancy dishes for adults, and under kids it just said "chicken nuggets" I kid you not, just straight up chicken nuggets. We snuck in some food :))
I made it to #12 at the time of this writing (the dad who won't take his daughter to his wedding). I really hope these are trolls and not describing real situations.
Wow some of these are really abominable. And these people are tying the knot and possibly procreating. God help us.
A tradition in the US. The bride is supposed to be the only one who wears white.
