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.
The Groom Took His Laptop To His Wedding To Play A Game On His Computer
I am pretty sure that this is staged to take a funny picture. Edit: I haven't played the game but I'd guess the screen shows just a photo rather than the loading screen, which would likely be fullscreen and not cropped at the edges.
Hope so, or the honeymoon is going to be one hell of a disappointment for the bride.

I hope this is a staged photo to be funny...if not, its sad and an easy nope from me. Really hope it's just staged.
Poor woman, she looks like she thinking, that she may have made a little mistake here.
Wasn't this am advert for dating. S**t this site sinks so low for views. It's like the reporters don't care and drag anything up without checking. This site is like using a cheese grater to scratch an itch. It's bad for me but I keep returning. Maybe I just can't get over how horrible these people truly are and keep dipping my toes in their dark waters because I need to feel sadness and hate the way they do. Na I'm good, but these d***s do make me laugh. Imagine being that way in life that you lie everyday and spread fakeness for what purpose I don't know. But by God am I happy I don't have to be this slimy
Calm down, buddy. This isn't a journalism website. Its an aggregator. There's no requirement or expectation Bored Panda staff do "journalism" or "fact checking".

No, he didn't. It's another Photoshopped photo. His hand and the laptop are not really there. They're superimposed.
Looked like a pretty boring dinner in general. Don’t see any other guests.
Well, she married him! This can't be new or unknown behavior. It will only get worse from here.
Now that they be married he can return to the games, which it seems he was playing all along. I'm sensing a divorce is coming, hopefully an annulment.
And, she didn't have a clue prior to the expensive wedding? Not one red flag?
don't worry girl, the room service boy is yummy yummy, your hubi can still finish his game
To the bride..... just get up...... and walk straight out the door
I would make a joke saying games are better than marriage but he's playing Football Manager, he don't deserve my joke. (and this is also a joke, play what makes you happy, not in your marriage of course)
Some weddings are kinda boring. I wonder if he had any say in the wedding entertainment. The groom often gets forgotten about as it's "her day". I love don't tell the bride (uk tv show), but I always get annoyed when the bride or groom gets selfish because it defeats the object of working together as a relationship.
Great outcome too! 🥺 But as B. Powell said...'always be prepared'. Will the true eagle scout stand up now?. 😉😉😉🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
This would be a hilarious staged photo lol if one of the couple had a hobby that they were super into hahaha I can see it now!
Yeah, hopefully she sees her future and walks away now. He ain’t changing.
Yeah he has to get his team ready for the UCL game midweek. Lol that honeymoon would be a blast.
Welp that's ending in a bitter divorce. Hopefully before children are involved.
Well you knew what he was like before you married him. I can’t even begin to wonder about their honeymoon.
She's looking back and regretting every decision that has led her to this moment
"And now it's time for the last dance of the evening." "Hang on, I'm finally about to play my first match of the season."

Inviting 20 Extra People To A Wedding
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."

Being This Drunk At Your Own Wedding
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.

I just don't understand this weird obsession with mothers of the groom, trying and failing, to out do the bride on her wedding day.
like you, i can't comprehend why it would even be attempted.

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!
Load More Replies... I gave up looking less than half way through. Tacky and tasteless on the whole.
I usually click on the original image amount to see all the pics on a thread, but I'd rather not for this one.. I honestly can't see anymore!
#36... the skunk cake one.... Is... Does the bouquet consist of a walrus baculum?
I don’t understand how #10 is trashy? If the single women were not looking for a relationship, I imagine they wouldn’t be included in her gesture.
First, it's not VOWELS...it's VOWS...buy a dictionary, look it up. Second, the really disgusting ones are the TRUMPERS...cake, guy in shorts has TRUMP socks, woman with MAGA dress. Did Donny finance their wedding?? These people are so tasteless...they must have not gotten their covid shots and can't taste anything anymore. Geez, don't show these anymore. All TRASH!!! And lady with the baby, I hope child protection got involved
