With the wedding season in full swing, many of us are excited to witness how two people venture on a journey together through life. We're eager for elegant ceremonies and magical moments, and we expect to cherish these memories for years to come. But in the real world, weddings are far from the dazzling and perfect affairs many of us imagine. Because you see, some couples seem to go out of their way to show everyone that taste really is a matter of preference.
To prove that some celebrations of love look like anything but fairy tales, members of the 'Trashy' subreddit shared snaps of the wild and tasteless things they’ve ever spotted at a wedding. With the tagline, "All things Trashy!", this online community has set out on a mission to expose the low-class nuptial disasters.
From outrageous invitations to mothers-in-law who turn up in bridal gowns, we at Bored Panda wrapped up a compilation of photos that vividly illustrate how bad things can get. Continue scrolling, upvote the ones you loved hating the most and be sure to share your own stories with us in the comments! And if you think you can handle even more wedding horror stories, check out our earlier publications about nightmare wedding guests and the most shame-worthy wedding examples.

Since 2012, the 'Trashy' online group has amassed over 2.8 million members. A few thousand people scroll through the page at any given time and are always on the lookout for some juicy pictures to pop up at the top. The moderators stated that this is a humor subreddit where they forbid bullying or toxic behavior. Moreover, they don’t allow heated discussions about social and political topics, explaining that you’re not going to change the world by arguing in a place where people laugh at drunk people making fools of themselves in public.
According to the moderators, this is a perfect place for people to poke fun at "trashy stories, trashy glamour, all things fake, plastic, and downright trashy, low-class, no-class, white trash, bimbos, and damn proud." Those looking after the page also added that posts on the group need to be funny, and they need to be a celebration of trashiness. "If it makes you angry then it doesn’t belong here," the moderators added.
I Don't Care What Your Political Views Are, This Is Stupid As Hell For A Wedding Cake

But this does beg the question, what does trashy actually mean? Well, the internet meme database Know Your Meme stated that the term trashy is used in a derogatory way to describe something extremely low-quality or inappropriate. "It is used as an antonym of 'classy' and typically refers to human behavior that is undesirable. Someone who is considered 'trashy' or behaving in such a manner typically exhibits selfish or grotesque actions with no remorse, especially when being inconsiderate," they explained.

Weddings Are Fun
Wearing This Dress To A Wedding
Since the wedding season is here to provide members of this online community with plenty of content, they don’t waste a second and share their hilarious snaps online. Although it’s important to note that taste is subjective — what is trashy to one person may be stylish to another! Moreover, we’re well aware that there is no such thing as a flawless wedding. You may have spent hours meticulously planning your big day, hoping everything to be perfect with a capital P. But the truth is, some things are simply out of your control. Whether it’s the caterer that canceled at the last minute or the ignorant plus ones who drink the open bar dry, some minor mishaps are simply unavoidable.
From A Bridal Facebook Group: Praying With All The Single Women Find A Man
"At our nephews wedding today. The bride offered a special gesture... Instead of throwing a bouquet toall the single girls, she took apart her bouquet and handed each girl a flower and prayed with each girl, to wait on the man that God has for them"
I like the idea of handing out parts of the bouquet to everyone but nah you keep your prayers and Jesus to yourself there lady.
To be fair, there is a good chance that they shared religious convictions with the bride.

If the girls she prayed with were equally religious, then this is actually a sweet gesture. Wierd. But sweet
Yeah, but she's assuming they want to "find a man".

Then they think that praying can cure that evil, evil sin, because remember, raping kids is fine, but same-sex love is soooo offensive to them.

Just want all everyone to be comfortable at my wedding. (TBH, do any of you ladies even like the bouquet thing?)
Nope. It makes everyone uncomfortable, especially the present boyfriend of the receiver. Honestly, another idea I heard on BP, where it is all genders, and they throw a cat plushie. Whoever gets it is the next person to get a cat.

I don’t see a problem with this if you’re religious but it’s kinda weird if a lot of people weren’t 😂😂
Depends on whether they were able to decline and still keep the flower.

I loathe the whole throwing the bouquet thing anyway, like women are still desperate to get married. The last wedding I went to everyone must have felt the same because everyone stepped away from it, LOL. The bride is a much loved person, doing it for fun, so that made it funnier.
As a photographer, I can tell you that 99% of the women that line up at the bouquet toss are desperately trying to catch those flowers!

"God has a man out there for you." "For the last time... I'm a lesbian..."
I see what they were trying to do but this comes across as preachy, insulting and possibly hurtful by singling out the single girls and rubbing in your joy and possibly your religion. Also, not every woman wants to get married. This can also be very embarrassing. I know they were trying to be nice but just think about it a little and you see how cringy this is. Keep the prayers private and just toss the flowers. Sincerely, a Christian.
That's when I would have stood up and said "but I want to find a rug to munch on! A bean to flick. Clam to chow."
To assume all the single ladies want/need a man is galling. This has to be one of those overt Christian weddings where everyone is a breeding, hetero.
So single woman are losers or to be pittied for not having a man??? Wrong on so many levels!!!
What about the lesbians? How does she feel about them? I'd looovvveee to know.
She would probably tell them to "pray away the gay" .

I would have politely declined the flower, and stepped back. How obtuse.
This was fine until that last sentence. Only then will your life have any meaning and you will be complete. ::rollseyes::
They're all probably lesbian and don't want a man but don't let that stop your religious agenda. Keep your shitty prayers for yourself.
🤢 "I pray that you become a whole, perfect person like me" not passive aggressive at all...
Some of us ladies are fine being single and don't need a partner to compete us.
Ew. Raise your standards, your life is worth so much and they here wasting it waiting on an man 🤢 🤮
You poor lonely thing you. Let me pray for you while I rub it in your face that I am delirious with happiness with the man of my dreams.
This isn't horrible. Taken out of context, it's could be unappealing. We don't know the beliefs of anyone involved. Easy to judge as it would depend upon the beliefs of the families but could certainly be overstepping boundaries.
Personally I don't see this as trashy. It could be cultural on their part and the bride is making sure no girl is left out. Unless you aren't allowed to refuse, this is actually a kind gesture.
If she knows these girls and knows that this is what they'd appreciate I really see nothing wrong here. If her community is christian and family-focused, this is a nice ritual, not something to be shamed online by strangers.
SIL tried something like this at her wedding. She for some reason considered me single(I had brought my boyfriend and he was standing 6 feet away). Long story short I "accidentialy" spilled wine on her and now we don't talk!
I think it's a nice selfless gesture she did and u can have a someone pray for you even if u don't share same religion.
Depends on if the other women were okay with it or not. I met a pastor from a different religion once who offered to pray for me like that and I actually did find my husband soon after, we have been married for almost eight years now. So if you ask and they say okay I see nothing against it.
Everything else aside, those flowers sure are droopy and wilted looking. Like, they couldn't keep them in water until the appropriate time? Looks like an outside reception, maybe it was super hot? I'd kinda rather be given no flower at all, than a dead one... Like, it just feels uncaring...
I think it is a really kind thing. And it is not necessary to take part in it.
As long as the girls wanted her to, I think it's beautiful. Otherwise it's sick.
I can see this as being a nice gesture to those that are ultra religious. And ULTRA.
I don't know anyone delusional enough to pull something like that - but if some woman tried that with me I'd punch her in the taco.
It was sweet until the coerced prayer and save yourself for marriage lecture only directed at the girls. How come the boys missed out?

Since when did it become ok to be nasty to people based on their religion. Maybe everyone there was religious and prayer is a normal part of their lives. Just because YOU might not do it doesn't make it tasteless.

Allison Jackson, the owner of the Pineapple Productions, mentioned that it’s important to remember that your celebration speaks directly to your heart. "A wedding should be personal and reflective of the couple — their stories, shared interests, family backgrounds, personal styles and travels — versus something built on recycled ideas from other weddings," she explained. "I encourage couples to draw inspiration from the stories of how they met, what they did on their first date, and how they became engaged. It’s easy to find a few details from those stories that naturally translate into fun and unique elements on the wedding day."

Agree with shaming a lot of this, but if a woman doesn't want to wear a bra, no matter what size she is, she shouldn't have to.
Another thing to keep in mind is the people you want to share these unique moments with. "Focus on the touch points that allow guests to be present throughout the weekend," Beth Helmstetter, a creative director at Beth Helmstetter Events advised. "For instance, if your ceremony has the possibility of being too hot or cold, make sure to address those issues with blankets, fans, and water. For the reception, always make sure you have enough servers and bartenders. If guests aren’t able to get a drink or wait too long for their meal, it doesn’t matter how beautiful or fun your wedding is. Guests will be focused on their needs not being met and they won’t be able to enjoy the celebration as you’ve intended them to."

Most importantly, make sure you enjoy the experience and try to have fun! After all, people sometimes see their big day as the final destination when, in reality, it’s only the beginning of a long and exciting journey together. But if some things don’t go as planned, remember there’s always humor to be found in even the most unfortunate situations. So if you have a weird and amusing story to tell, don’t be shy and share your adventures with us in the comments.

So many grooms in daily or work attire.... it almost looks like they want to say, "not my idea this, but had to show up".
The grooms who don’t dress accordingly, where the bride does, clearly show no interest nor have any respect to make an effort. That’s kind of trashy.

A bunch of these pictures are "Hey, look at these people going casual at their wedding", and while I admit that, for me, a wedding is a formal thing, maybe it isn't that way for everybody. Their wedding doesn't have to please me. It only has to please THEM. I think it would be awful for someone to say "This style isn't really 'me', but it's what everybody else expects, so that's what I'll do." Nah, mate. You do you.
I agree if they both are, but I think if only the groom is, it seems less like something they both agreed on and more like a lack of effort/investment.

Is it odd that "white trash" is still a perfectly acceptable racial slur?
Not so sure about the racial part, but I find it really awful since no person anywhere should be called "trash" or "garbage" just for their living- and financial situation! Or even their taste. "Trash"-people are those who hurt animals, murder people for fun, rape people or take huge bribes to ruin a country.

I think I prefer most of these weddings to the overblown, perfect, humorless, bridezilla fantasy ego-fests costing mountains of money.
The amount of judgemental nonsense here about how people choose to celebrate their relationships is bizarre.
I guess this is a personal thing, getting married and all.... I'm not sure why we should judge or shame others for their chosen way of celebrating (except the maga c**p, this should always be discouraged imo)
Agreed. About the maga: I would discourage that especially because it takes the happy day away from the couple and makes it about some other person who is not even there and couldn't care less about their existence. Same as a wedding themed to Putin, or even to Jesus Christ or some other god-thought entity. Weddings (at least those in western culture) are supposed to be about the bride and groom and a bit about the family. Not about the money or the fame or some other person who gets a cake in their likeness. You'll be placed as second (or even last) fiddle your whole life, statistically. Don't put yourself in that position on what is supposed to be the happiest day of your life!
