Weddings are one thing. But the juicy wedding anecdotes that get passed around from guests in real life is another. From fussy bridezillas to nightmarish decor, hilarious invitations, accidents, "what da heck was dat" moments, and even full-blown fights… Some people live for the nuptial gossip.
And the chances are they belong to this quirky online community that deliberately targets some shame-worthy weddings. Captioned "let’s shame those weddings," the subreddit r/weddingshaming is the online home for roasting wedding themes, brides, grooms, wedding parties, in-laws, outlaws, guests, Uncle Bob, vendors, and more. “You name it, we shame it!” states the community’s description.
Created in 2018, the controversial subreddit now has 151k members who love digging through anything wedding-related. So let’s take a look at what they dug up and shamed down below.

Imma Use This One Sometime
Dude should have hoped in the plane and flown as far away as he could from this girl.
My hubby proposed while I was sweaty, in eyeglasses, wearing bike shorts, and cramming for exams... in my dorm room. It's the marriage, not the wedding'/ proposal, folks!
This stinks of the idea that the proposal is all about her and what she can brag to her friends about later. A proposal should be a special moment between two people rather than an event which makes one (or both) parties feel like a celebrity for a fleeting moment.
Photographer Shaming A Guest
I guess it depends. At my wedding I was glad my guests took photos as my photographer turned out to be awful. 😭
Maybe he was awful because the guests got in his way? Chicken and egg?
Load More Replies...But but but, facebook likes! How else will she get reminded that she is important if the little red icon by facebook doesn't notify her that somebody likes her every couple of minutes?
She's not even taking a picture, that photo on her iPhone screen doesn't match the actual scene.
Had a good few of these... The funniest one was the couple asking me afterwards - we saw you after the wedding during the group shots, but nowhere before or after... were you even there?? We're not paying for this! (until I showed them the 1500 odd pictures from nearly every angle and moment throughout the wedding of them and their guests, plus a bunch of video clips of important moments - they though I was part of the catering staff, as I dressed up as them to completely blend in). They, their parents and guests had all the pics available online for browsing as they arrived on their honey moon..
I do photography on the side, and if you're a good photographer you know how to get around people with phones, or you tell the bride / groom that there are no phones allowed during the ceremony. It's not that difficult. And to be honest, my iPhone sadly takes just as good if not better pictures than my 1k camera does. lol. But in the end, people want the professional look of a bulky camera. Also if you're good at editing you can edit that person out.
that iPhone is not taking a photo of the bride and her dad (though dad looks like the groom?) look at it again. I call shenanigans on this photo
Load More Replies...Just Hope There Isn’t A Third...
Idk, if the couple has a good sense of humor it might go over well
Load More Replies...LOL. It could be funny if the groom & new bride have a sense of humor. Otherwise you're risking greatly.
It's not ok because not everyone is back. The people on the side of the bride are new to this.
Not always! Several entries higher up are about this, "my ex marrying my ex-BFF" etc.
Load More Replies...Since my brother-in-law is a real player and dated every single girl in our small town, I wanted to RSVP "maybe your next one". No I did not, was very tempted to so...
The world of wedding shaming offers real-life drama combined with sassiness and a fair share of roasting, all in the comfort of a virtual environment. Groups like the “That’s it, I’m wedding shaming” Facebook group, which has 80.6k members, and the r/weddingshaming subreddit with 153k members have become somewhat of a phenomenon in the past 2 years. It turns out there’s something universally irresistible about ripping apart someone’s supposed best day of their lives.
Luna, the moderator from Australia at “That’s it, I’m wedding shaming,” told Wired that “There’s something about weddings, whether you’re invited or not, that just brings out the worst in people.” She suggested that this is precisely what gives the group a feel similar to reality TV shows.
This online shaming trend became a hit back in August 2018 when a post from a group shamed a bride for asking her guests to pay about $1,500 towards her wedding. The story went viral after it was shared by model and social media star Chrissy Teigen.
4 Weddings And A Cat Party
No sane cat person would take their cats to a wedding, firstly out of concern for the cats.
There might have been people that were allergic to cats at the wedding though...
Load More Replies...I would love to hear the end of that wedding. So feeling for that poor bride
I mean, I'm feeling for her since stress caused her not to understand the florist has no interest in bringing her cats, but she's also so far off the mark, not comprehending that some flowers will require greater care and effort than others for the florist.
Load More Replies...Found On Twitter
A lot of couples do it to put information on local hotels, directions to the venue for both the ceremony and reception (if they're in two different places). They also link their wedding registries. Sometimes a couple includes fun things to do in the area (My brother did that for his).
Load More Replies...I believe in karma and I believe your ex and best friend will get theirs. My daughters ex after 8 years and her best friend of 12 just had a child together and are expecting their second. Its rather sad and funny, the girl has mimicked everything my daughter has done, car she drove, changed to her hair color, moved in to her apartment complex, the list goes on.
Nah you should absolutely show up and make a speech telling the magical story of how they met.
Both need to be reminded of the old saying, how you get them is how you lose them...
Sounds like the guy who stole my idea for a Facebook group, and when he was interviewed by his local paper about HIS group, he said he got the idea from "a friend". I don't know this clown from a hole in the ground, nor do I want to.
If there’s an option to comment on their “wedding website” 🙄 by all means, do. And set the record straight.
Bride Cancels Vendor For Supporting Black Lives Matter
Non refundable. They’ll be throwing away that $ on the lawyer.
Load More Replies...That's a class move. Hope their " attorney" shut down this entitled, ignorant pursuit or made way more in legal fees than the deposit this moron put down.
Yes....... "all" lives matter and that obviously includes black lives. Therefore you should have no issue supporting blm.
oh good, another racist, bigoted couple getting married who will no doubt breed and bring more trash like themselves to the planet.
But many people are not so positive about this new trend, claiming that “beneath those silly nuptial stories lies an online playground of hate.”
Bored Panda reached out to Darlene Lancer, clinical psychologist and the author of “Codependency for Dummies” and “Conquering Shame and Codependency.” Darlene said that wedding haters and shamers are not members of a “hate group,” according to the FBI.
She explained: “hate groups” direct their hatred against a particular race, religion, gender, ethnic group, or people of a particular sexual orientation. The FBI investigates these hate groups to protect democracy and individual liberty.” In that sense, wedding shamers are not one of them.
This Is Terrible
"Hey! Why let a little inconvenience such as COVID spoil our big day?" was the general concensus of the wedding party. This how COVID multiplies at an exponential rate.
At least it will be memorable. "Honey, what was our wedding date?" "Three weeks before your auntie died, so that was last week of August... 23?" "Ah yes, right".
Load More Replies...I have been called every nasty name in the book , for reporting non-compliance... I am at a point why bother. I will stay home, order online, and VOTE in person! I am old and pissed
J. Normal: You did your civic duty. Those people cited for non-compliance should be ashamed of themselves.
Load More Replies...Can you imagine a national 'leader' doing something as needlessly stupid as exposing the people closest to him to such a virulent disease?
I read about people who just moved their weddings to their backyards and such when the venues cancelled on them. Folks still got COVID. Just not worth it, people.
This remind me of somethings in my county. Some people had a party during Covid (like that is a good idea) with like 100 people. And someone went to the party knowing that they had Covid. That person spread it to like 100 people, and caused the cases to surge.
Like 100? Like that isn't cool. Like they shouldn't, like do that.
Load More Replies...It was a really bad decision, but I also understand that young people can spend a year or more and a lot of money to make one day happen, and they would lose all the money, the staff, the venue and everything else if they canceled, and wouldn't just be able to redo the day later. Moral of the story is: weddings really shouldn't be such big deals IMHO.
At a wedding of 150+ people and you think no one has COVID? That in itself is a stretch.
Really depends on where and when this was. My daughter's boyfriend lives in rural Illinois and there have been 0 cases in the whole town so far
Load More Replies...What A Hilarious Prank!
I am pretty sure I read this a couple of months ago and apparently the bride and groom did ditch that so called friend.
Load More Replies...I have a similar story. I was a picture framer and had prepared a window matt with several openings for photos with the idea that all the guests would sign on the margins of the matt at the reception and the photos would be inserted and the whole thing framed after the event. The boyfriend of one of the bridesmaids who was only there as a "plus 1" drew a quite offensive cartoon on a blank space slap in the middle of the whole thing. Fortunately a trophy shop I used had a laser cutter and they were able to burn out the offending article and create another small opening in its place. I hope the bridesmaid also burned that guy out of her life.
Why would anybody become a wedding planner?? That must be the most hell-ish job on the planet.
what an absolute asshole and I hope not only was he kicked out as a groomsman, but kicked out of the entire wedding PLUS out of the groom's life as a friend because that is NOT a friend.
With my family, that guy would have never been heard from again.
I’m All For Using An Uber Sure But Come On
Did you get mad at the rest of the passengers for being rude enough to take your bus?
Load More Replies...At least they’re both stupid and if they get married no one else will have to deal with them on dates
Raine Soo : the difference is about $400...wild guess.
Load More Replies...Getting an Uber is one thing, as long as you plan ahead of time, but come on, it's your wedding day. You should be springing for Uber Black!
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.
Shaming others, the clinical psychologist suggests, is a way of protesting and ridding themselves of shame people have inside, which is often hidden and unconscious.
“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,” Darlene concluded.
Real Life Soap Opera
You are allowed to cut toxic people out of your life even if they are family.
I did and the improvement of my mental health has been undeniable.
Load More Replies..."Good friends is all you have." You choose all your friends and they can be family members, but not all family members are good friends.
Friends are the family you choose for yourself. Related family are people you wouldn't have in your home if you weren't related to them.
Load More Replies...Sorry about your luck if that is the family. Family reunions must be a real good time. The bride will now throw her water balloon instead of flowers. Your Aunt was so wrong in so many ways. Guess her daghter took after her. I think you are lucky to walk away and go to a brighter future.
You are being bullied by your aunt. Family is all you have? I doubt it. You have you and you can honour your own feelings. You can o somewhere far away from the wedding, someplace you really want to go, someplace wonderful and you can have a memorable adventure on their wedding day.
Bridezilla Wants All Her Bridesmaids To Cut And Dye Their Hair So They Look Identical
I was in a wedding a couple of years ago and the groom's mother told all of us bridesmaids that we had to have the same hairstyle for the wedding. Not a big deal, until you realize that two of us had pixie haircuts, two of us are black - one white, one was 13 at the time and the other two were in our 40s. Other than wigs there was no way to make that happen. In the end, we ignored her.
My hair is halfway down my back. I would keep that length and dye it purple with green highlights.
Why would the bride (okay, bridezilla) want her bridesmaids to look as if they were cut from the same cookie cutter?
Because too many brides treat them as props rather than people. It's her "day" and everything has to be "perfect".
Load More Replies...Nope, actually, asking to have it cut is too much. You shouldn't be asking people to alter something about their appearance for your preferences.
I think it is bad enough if they have to pay the dress the bride chooses for them to wear.
Load More Replies...I think this brides should discover, on the day of the wedding, that she has NO bridesmaids, or better yet, they all dye their hair purple or orange or green.
I read things like this and am wondering if I'm sheltered that I've never met anyone like this, or ask if this is just a story. It's so incredible, it just can't be real.
You are not sheltered, you just don't have anyone that's batcrap crazy in your life.
Load More Replies...It Can’t Just Be The Bride’s Big Day, You Know
I don't understand the need for some people to steal someone else's thunder. Was the mother-in-law that insecure?
I found out I was pregnant right before my brother's wedding, but I didn't want to tell anyone and take away from their day. So I spent the entire reception inventing reasons for not drinking champagne.
I moved my wedding date up a week because my aunt had originally said (very seriously) that my wedding could double as her birthday party. She still used my wedding as her family Christmas Card photo shoot, and followed us to the brewery where we had our photos taken. For her to make the day about her was just on-par as to why I never liked her (she did this at my HS graduation party 5 years earlier too).
I'd have thought that the day would be special for her because her son was getting married?!? Some people are so selfish.
A friend's mom did the exact same thing, only not BEFORE her daughter's wedding, but AT THE SAME TIME. Minister would recite crap and turn from one couple to another for a response. So afterwards, when she STOOD IN THE RECEPTION LINE FIRST, I asked her how long it took for her previous vows to expire, and how long she expected this "do over" to last. Her look of outrage made me smile.
At that point you say screw that...ELOPE! Take all the money you would spend on a wedding and elope...use that money to start your new life together.
My lovely sister and her bf at the time went to my cousin's wedding. They had the audacity to get married the same day, a couple of hours prior to the event and then talk about it to anyone who would listen at my cousin's reception. They even had the DJ make a special toast to them and asked for gifts from the guests because it would have been the same crowd if they had done a normal separate wedding.
I can't stand it when people want the attention on them on someone else's special day.
So you cancel your wedding and refuse to attend the "renewal of vows". That's what I would have done if I was the groom and my mother would have tried this.
You’re Probably Wondering Why This Is Shame Worthy. Well How Do You Feel Now That You Know She Was ***not*** The Bride
A glass of red wine and a fake misstep would easily rectify this situation.
You are the most wicked person I've ever wanted to marry based on a single mean-spirited line of text. YOU ARE NOW MY SPIRIT ANIMAL.
Load More Replies...No need to fat-shame. Enough to shame here without stooping to that.
Load More Replies...Lady, if you're so desperate to get married, MAYBE don't wear a bridal gown at a wedding WHERE YOU ARE NOT THE BRIDE!!!1
When my cousin got married, her mother-in-law did this. The MIL went out and bought a wedding gown and wore it to the wedding and insisted on having photos taken without the bride.
I've read about some MILs doing this. It's rather creepy if you think about it...
Load More Replies...If I had had a fancy wedding I wouldn't mind someone using that, but that's just me
Yeah, but go to a professional and have it dyed another color.
Load More Replies...What kind of attention whore does that? A friends stepmother (attn whore) did that at her sisters wedding. Luckily, she was spotted getting out of the limo she had rented and stopped at the door. She was informed that if she wanted to attend the wedding she would have to go home and change into something more appropriate (45 minutes away) and NO, they would not postpone the wedding for her. The kicker? Her Dad was giving her away and was in the limo with this nutcase. He was heard saying, "I told you that was disrespectful. I guess I'll see you at the reception". She started throwing a fit & the Dad literally shoved her back into the car and told the driver "GO". She never did make it back for the reception, which I'm told was absolutely gorgeous. The bride didn't know anything about it until AFTER they got back from the honeymoon. THOSE are the friends you want at your wedding.
Was it a ghost haunting the venue? Groom's ex? What? We should be told more details.
SOMEBODY just can't stand not being the center of attention. For SHAME!
Karen Thinks Artists Are Ripping Her Off For Charging $1000 For A Live Painting Of Her Wedding Ceremony. Expects To Get A Literal Picasso For That Price
They had those at Hogwarts but I doubt they'll show up at muggle wedding.
Load More Replies...Do they not realize how long it would take and how much skill to do a good rendering?
No some people don't realize it, and they don't care. They have little respect for artists.
Load More Replies...As someone with the name Karen, this is so hurtful. Why can't we please just say entitled? Because that's what it is. Using Karen as a slur is bullying at it's purest form. It's simply name calling. If you don't think so, insert your name into these memes for the next couple of years, and then tell me how you feel.
live painting, wtf, find a wonderful picture, and have someone make a painting of it.
I have an actual BFA in art (illustration - my speciality is watercolor) and I will kill the person marked in red if she says that again.
This Girl Is An Icon. She Really Spilled Some Tea!
My daughter had half the invitations written and mailed for the May 15 wedding, & less than a week later she had to send regrets to those people. She has 6 living siblings, & the groom has 3. Then we were hit with the 10 person rule (the 4 Catholic bishops in Iowa agreed so this was statewide), including the priest, photographer, organist, readers, ring bearer, flower girl, etc. You can see where this is going, can't you? Anyway, canceled our venue etc, getting the money back. It was easy to get our refunds, as the governor shut the state down--everything. The bridesmaids returned their dresses; they were not custom made. And the bride & groom, not wanting to decide which of their sisters & brothers had to not be there decided none were going. The groom's mom & stood up for them. We had the priest, organist, photographer, bride & groom, & the witnesses, for a total of 7. Told guests the reception will be NEXT May 15th, and to save the date!
1. Whatever happened to the art of gratitude and writing a “thank you” note? 2. The pandemic has affected many people, some more devastating than others. It’s okay to vent, but it’s important to acknowledge that you’re reacting to the stress and keep the psychological/emotional lashing out to a minimum or do something productive with it. It’s the marriage that’s important, not the ceremony. 3. I love the person peacing out of that group.
1. Always thank people for coming to your wedding/buying gifts. 2. Do not hold a wedding or a large scale event during a goddamn pandemic. 3. How dare you even assume, that your friends and family aren't treating you 'special enough?' What do they have to do? Get out from hospital after being tested positive on covid and are in an emergency ward, just to get to your wedding?
I'm normally against "Grand Exit" posts, but this one is appropriate.
Mother Of Bride Wearing Bridal Gown!
My asshole mother tried to pull this s**t on my wedding day. I told her if she brought it, I was going to shred it and stain it so she wouldn't be able to wear it. Guess what? She brought it! Guess what else? I destroyed it lol. And she had the balls to get mad because she wanted to look good. We don't have a relationship anymore. (there were a lot of other things that killed it not just this bs)
There's no context. The bride posted it but was she shaming her mum? It would be unusual if they hadn't at least had a conversation about outfits.
Mum's dress looks...weird. Brides dress is beautiful! I love how you didn't go all out!
We Sent You This Card So Send Us Money
We don't like you enough to actually invite you, but give us money anyway.
I would send a photocopy of a cheque for $1000, saying "As much as I would like to give you this money, sadly, my money is not for everyone. I'll be sure to keep you in my heart while I send it to someone who cares about me enough to want me to share in their life"
Much as I would like to contribute, my wallet cannot accommodate everyone... and please use spell check
I got a very similar card from my cousin. Gave in as the rest of my family decided to chip in. Didn't get a thank you card. Same when they had a baby, though we did get a thank you card just in time to remind us it would be baby's 1st birthday soon.
Miss Manners would say send them money. She says you aren't paying for a seat at the wedding, you are gifting them for the occasion. I don't agree.I think begging for money because you got married is tacky.
Miss Manners would say NO SUCH THING. Have you ever even READ her books? I've read every single one and she *always* says that wedding gifts are optional, you do NOT have to give a gift if you don't want one and the couple should never require or ask people for gifts, money or even put where they are registered on the invitation/announcement.
Load More Replies...In unformal terms: We don't like you, but we're sending a card to ask for money to let us go on a trip for a crappy wedding that you weren't invited to.
Probably THE RUDEST I’ve ever seen a soon-to-be-married couple. I’d have to think on this one, but I’d definitely respond—and it would not be nice! P.S. tell your friends they misspelled “cannot” and “acccommodate” 😂😂😂😂

Another pathetic moron. Such disgusting and vile behaviors. That would be the end of their existence in my life.
How about - we're going to be married in a private ceremony - we'll have a lovely reception for everyone when this all clears up- Wish us luck!
That's the exact same color as the White House super-spreader event two days ago that paid people to show up and wear their hideous shirts. 601db2a4-0...4-jpeg.jpg
Do Not Talk To The Bride At All
This is a wedding planner who spelled 'ceremony' as ' seramony'. Ha, ha, ha! There are plenty of other errors, but I've decided not to be a grammar Nazi.
Seramony...argh(acceptance...admited...) I've worked as a proofreader before, and this is just so awkward to read!
And not just because of the terrible writing skills!
Load More Replies...Me: *comes in wearing ivory, arriving 15 minutes late, dyed hair, wearing full face of makeup, chats with bride, brings $5, toasts with beer, and records during "seramony"*
Do not wear anything other than a basic bob or ponytail. So it's a nudist wedding?
I seriously doubt this was from the wedding planner. More like a bridezilla pretending to be the planners to dictate the wedding but with the 'No talking to the bride' line I'm more inclined to think its the groom. Besides, a wedding planner who can't spell?
Could be a family member trying to take control of the wedding, too.
Load More Replies...The next day: You have 35 emails. Subject: Canceling Subject: Sorry, but... Subject: Cancelling Subject: I Am So Sorry Subject: I Am Just Too Busy 30 more...
"Seramony"? "Must have $75 cover charge gift"? This isn't a wedding. It's a shake-down.
I get the don't wear cream, white or ivory, but everything else is just over the top. Wow.
Gahhh This Is Bad
Honestly - I wouldn't be that surprised if it did. If she's *that* tolerant and considering, she'll probably accept almost anything (and I feel sorry for her, this seems like a little too much).
Load More Replies...I didn't catch on!! It is NOT funny, just too sad
Load More Replies...Wow. WOW. I had to let this sink in for a while. Seriously, no matter how much in love you are with a man like that... chances are the heartache from breaking up hurts LESS. In fact, you might find that you hardly notice the heartache over the relief from not being treated like a nuisance.
Maybe she likes her Saturdays free, and undisturbed Sunday mornings while he snores on the couch. Diff'rent strokes etc.
Load More Replies...If this happened at my wedding, there would be a loooooot of men clutching at their nuts
Awesome! There are seven more highly eligible bachelors, girls and boys!

I love puppies too! I love them so much that I WOULD NOT TREAT THEM SO BADLY! Personally I would say to guests that they are welcome to bring their dogs and I would provide food water and facilities for them including somewhere for them to sleep but never would I tie them to tables as decorations!
I would like to include portraits of shelter dogs on each table in hopes of people adopting them.
Load More Replies...This is a terrible idea of incorporating puppies into the decor, and what I would've done, is go to the animal shelter and ask them If they want to bring some puppies there for people to adopt possibly. what this girl did is not okay, though.
I actually can think of a way to MAKE THIS a good idea! If you REALLY love dogs that much and are a GOOD PERSON, have your local shelter come and set up somewhere outta the way, but still there, and see if anyone wants to adopt, AND give the shelter some of your WEDDING MONEY as a donation! There ya go! And everyone is happy! #WOOF
that's actually a brilliant idea! puppies get adopted, and you have them at the wedding without them being props.... I hate how the person in the picture said that they wanted to use puppies as decor.

Load More Replies...I'd love to come to your wedding. I bring with me the gift of potentially causing a superspreader amongst your nearest and dearest
I agree with you, but if 1. masks are mandatory for everyone in the country these people live in, it is not OK anyhow, and 2. the person writing the messages asks about "us" not wearing masks. So I'd say sorry, but you'd better stay home then.
Load More Replies...This one could have been a lot worse. The guest could have shown up and caused a scene at the wedding, but instead texted the bride to express their regrets. Do I agree with them for not wearing masks? Not at all. But I do appreciate that they aren't being maskholes about it.
They should send back a dictionary page with the word "required" circled since this person seems to think "required" means "only if you feel like it"
Well, welcome to Wisconsin. That's what they think here.

The chance that people might pour alcohol into the bowl didn't occur to their tiny little brains?
I can understand goldfish. Because they would be cute. But you MUST TAKE CARE OF THEM!! A: no one wants to look at a dead fish and B: they're animals! they're innocent and when you signed up to buy them, you said you would take care of them! they cant take care of themselves, and if you cant either, give them a new home.
My aunt did this at one of her weddings and everybody loved it, beforehand she had people that had agreed to take the fish after the wedding though and they weren't placed in the bowls until right before dinner so they weren't in there for very long before being taken to there permanent homes. One of my uncles took 2 of the fish and even named them after my aunt and her husband, they lived for almost 20 years which is at least 15 years longer than the marriage lasted.
Load More Replies...Not only is this cruel and tacky, but who in the holy hell wants to watch a fish deficating while they're trying to eat?
The only thing I can think of is that in some cultures goldfish symbolise good luck? Surely a dead one would be bringing misfortune?! Possibly in the form of a massive fine.
Load More Replies...Don't put them in tiny fishbowls. Fishbowls were only used as temporary placeholders for fish that would have lived in huge ponds in the Roman (I believe) times. People would only put fish in bowls to show them to guests, then put the fish back in the ponds. Animals are not decor.
Yep, toy fish or even a screen display showing fish.

As I said in an earlier comment, I've read about some MILs doing this. It's incredibly creepy.
Load More Replies...Went to a wedding where the grooms mother wore a wedding dress and the vicar went "Is this the woman you are marrying? No? Then why is she dressed like the bride" He then refused to perform the ceremony until she got changed. She ended up wearing the clothes she had packed for the evening reception. The vicar shook his head but did marry them as she was now dressed in a very short skirt and a tight top. She was in her 50's and not in the best of shape
The bridesmaids failed. Aren't they supposed to spill wine on anyone with a white dress besides the bride?

"Come heavily armed and ready to shoot cops" is not an invitation to a wedding. It's an invitation to a jail cell.
So lemme get this straight...the Bride and Groom and others are willing to lock,load, and open fire on Cops who would show up to shut down their "wedding party" because of the pandemic? Fackin hell, I am so glad i live in Canada where: had to pass gun school with 70% minimum, have background checks, mental health eval, criminal history check, get my local P.D to sign and stamp my application, multiple character references, etc. which this whole process can over a year b4 you're allowed to own guns. I'll stay here in the land of the Moose and Beaver, thanks.
Problem here is there is no mental health evaluation for the cops, I know first hand as I was one. Dammed scary bunch in some cases

$250 Min Gift To Attend
Some people should just appreciate what their guests have all ready paid to make it. Possibly accomodation, new clothes, taxis and/or flights, maybe even paying to put the dogs in the kennels, or mind the kids, while they go away. On top of all that, I think a $100 gift is plenty. Many of your wedding guests will have paid out way more than the price of food and drinks just to get there. To celebrate with you - not set you up financially for life.
Load More Replies...It is not only the price, "a gift for either me or Christian", wedding gifts used to be items for the couple's joint use not for one or the other.
WHAT??? Anyone ever been to a Dutch wedding, where you'd get €20 from your aunties?
What shocks me is that neither the bride nor the groom made the effort to personally or properly invite this person. Mike was suppose to tell them. But the snobette had no problem texting this person directly to inform them there was a mandatory and ridiculously high price value minimum on the wedding gift.
Sooooooooooo much people have confirmed?? There's actually people who would agree to such a thing??

Oh dear. Time for the pregnant friend to find a new best (non-toxic) friend.
This exact thing happened to a girl I used to be close to. She fell out with her best friend because the best friend dared to get pregnant and the due date was close to the wedding. 'She could have thought about the dates before letting it happen.' The kicker: this girl left her husband after 18 months of marriage for the guy she was sleeping with...

Where I live (the Balkan region in SE Europe), the mere notion of a child refusing to do something or generally disobeying their parents is unthinkable. And you can be sure there would be a punishment for such behavior.
I'd tell them no for the ceremony and wedding meal afterwards and the lion outfit is OK for the reception if they argue then I would cancel their invites. They are not family and they do not decide on what happens at someone elses wedding
I don't think the bride is out of line at all on this one. And the kid "refuses to wear normal clothes"? What kind of spineless parents does this kid have?

Videographer Refuses To Do Same-Sex Weddings
"We'd rather lose a good portion of money than support people who love each other in expressing that." How ridiculous. Especially during COVID times.
How about cut the middle paragraph out, and just say: "Unfortunately we will not be able to film your wedding due to a personal conflict. We wish you all the best for your special day. " If you aren't supportive of gay marriage, you aren't obligated to film one, but if you truly want to be tactful you don't need to air your discriminatory views.
There is no such thing as tactful homophobia. It’s a derogatory view of a group of people, you can’t do that “politely”

Respect this person's religious beliefs as much as they respect this gay couple. I think too many people think we should force people against their will to provide goods and services. You don't have a right to their labor, just as much as they do not have a right to stop your choice of whom you marry
I recently visited a webshop on a Sunday. It was closed for business because Sunday. I thought that was ridiculous and outdated, but the message was respectful, and it's their choice to not want to business on a Sunday. This is kind of the same idea. They do not wish to do business on same-sex weddings. That's a shame, and an outdated point of view in my opinion, but the message is respectful. The act in itself maybe not so very, but these people also have the right to express their opinion, as long as they don't interfere with other people's freedom. I'd even go as far as saying it is rather brave to stick to principles like that in these days. One may certainly disagree with them, but they sent a very polite message declining.
I just don't see how not serving people on a Sunday is the same as not serving an entire group of people.

Bride In The Middle, Cow Who Turned Up To The Wedding In A White Dress With A Train On The Right

Taken From A Party Planning Site, Advising How To Have A Free Wedding. Other Gem Advice Was To Get Mother-In-Law To Make The Wedding Cake
We had a budding “photographer” that was a friend of my BIL take photos at our wedding coz we were on a budget. In saying that in return my hubby did a small concreting job. He ended up with the better end of the deal coz the photos were crap. That is the only thing I regret from our wedding, wished we hired a professional. Sorry went on a tangeant. Lesson is don’t cheap out on professional photography (but don’t need to go overboard)
Load More Replies...Hah! This happened to me in high school. My godmother's neighbor was a real asshole with money problems ( he wouldn't spend any). He found out that I had taken my very first photography class in my junior year and thought he'd save a few bucks by "hiring" me to be their photographer. Being a somewhat shy and meek teenager, I didn't have the balls to say "no way". I did it, they were processed and it was a disaster. He then had the nerve to be pissed at me, calling me a stupid girl and lamenting the $100 I was paid. I tried to make him understand beforehand that I basically knew nothing. I felt horribly guilty for a long time until I finally realized how stupid, cheap people deserve every bit of disappointment coming to them.
We used a family member to take our wedding pics, worst mistake ever! She claimed to be really good and later we found out that she was using her ex hubby's photos as her own. He was the photographer not her. I learned my lesson the hard way.
If I were asked to do photographs for "the exposure" I would be so tempted to agree, show up, take pictures, and then put a HUGE watermark, logo, etc., over all the photos, so that maybe a few square millimeters show of the actual wedding, 'because you said it's for exposure."
That is the only correct way to do it. Let them pay for each individual photo and then only you can remove the water mark.
Load More Replies...My parents got my grandmother's second husband to make the pictures and they paid him for it. Just because he's family doesn't mean that he should have to do his job for free.
There are few things more insulting to a professional than suggesting he/she should work for free for the "exposure."
A waste of good money, eh. As a photographer and photography teacher, I see many of these cases where “the nephew shot the wedding because he has a camera”. And without fail, these always result in massive regret.

My spouse and I had a nice wedding with good friends and family in attendance. didn't ask for anything - got nice gifts anyway. What people could afford, or not. Didn't care - just wanted everyone who was there to be there. Had an open bar - BIG HIT! Great food, family style. And lots of FUN! We just celebrated 25 years this summer. How long are these lovely ladies (🙄) and that crazy gun-toting maniac and his blushing bride going to be together?
