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.

Bride Cancels Wedding Because Her Guests Didn't "Donate" $1500 Each To Fund Her Wedding
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.

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.

Bride Asks Mil Not To Wear A White Dress, Mil Does Anyways
Seen This Wedding Photo On Fb
I love it. I want one, but I'm not getting married. Sooo I want one to pop to the shops in.
Load More Replies...This was from one of those reality TV shows... something about Gypsy weddings? (Not my words, title they used).
I've seen that show. The brides have massive dresses!
Load More Replies...She has a basket on her head. Or a birdcage. Maybe one of those fancy bathroom trashcans?
The only thing that I don’t like is whatever it is that the groom thinks he’s doing.
I understand some women want to make a big deal out of their wedding and it's a whole experience for them, and I know this might make some people mad, but I will never understand the princess theme with grown women. I have never in my life wanted to dress up as a princess and put on a crown made of cheap plastic and rhinestones to pretend I'm some snow queen or something. It's just so tacky. Maybe when I was 8 I'd pretend to be a fairy because I read Peter Pan or something but then I grew up. I feel the same way about men dressing like cowboys. But anyway...the husband's pose, ugh. If douchebag had a picture...
This one isn't cheap at all. The dresses weigh 50+ lbs, and those headpieces can weigh 10-20 lbs or more. The show actually paid for the dresses at about $40K - $80K.
Load More Replies...This is one of the more tasteful dresses on MBFGW. I think this is the UK one where the dresses were all made by Thelma Madine. Most of the outfits were garish, like the pineapple and palm tree duo. This one reminds me of a Creamsicle.
Wtf is on her head? This must be a joke, I refuse to believe it's a genuine wedding??
It looks borrowed from Toddlers and Tiaras.
Load More Replies...Looks like something out of "My Big Fat Gipsy Wedding" (which was an actual TLC Show)
I think each of them has found the only person in the world for them.
The dress is beautiful. She needs to throw out the whole groom though.
Gypsy brides pay stupid money for dresses, and I swear that they are just trying to outdo the last wedding they went to. This is actually not the worst dress that I have seen in these weddings.
These two slay. They're living their best orange sherbert lives and I’m here for it,
I thought she was sitting down on something until I realised that's how the dress actually looks...
I actually like the dress. Yes, it's OTT, but delightfully so. She went big, and I respect that. The absurd crown and veil, though, need to go, and the less said about the groom, the better.
What's with his pose? Can understand her, he just looks like a do****bag.
Not to mention they met on the day of the wedding and the guys mum trashed the wedding
suddenly i have this strong urge for some orange sherbet! unfortunately, all we have in the freezer is vanilla! dang!
Interesting dress though it would have looked better with a different style crown. The grooms outfit was a bit much. Could have used a white or black shirt to give it a hint of contrast. Or maybe a grey one to match his hat.
Here's some backstory for you guys. They were on my big fat american gypsy wedding. (A tv show about the very different wedding culture they have from what's usually traditional) His name is Junior if I recall correctly, & he designed their outfits in his favorite color, which she didn't get to see until the day of. There was a very large age difference in these two and they barely knew each other apart from their online relationship because they didn't live very close to each other. His mother swore she wasn't going to attend because she didn't approve of this girl who was actually pretty sweet and innocent, mostly because she already had a small child out of wedlock, and also because they didn't ask for her blessings as matriarch of the family. Fast fwd to the wedding day and the girl was in a golf cart being driven to the altar and can't see over her dress what's happening but his Mom showed up and was cussing and chasing the golf cart with her cane and beating him up. 😅
this dress is awesome - for like, a photo shoot. for what should be one of, if not THE most significant days of one's life; an occasion to express your deep admiration, respect and profound love for your lifelong partner...It should be a truly profound experience yet this just screams vapid and egocentric
this is from one of those reality gypsy shows. I was pretty addicted to those for a while - tons of drama
Looks like something from that TV show "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding"!
I hope he doesn't think that dumb gesture makes him look sexy. It's a sad state when a shotgun wedding is more earnest than these mockeries I keep seeing.
Gypsy wedding - the TV show showed the good bits about these abominations ; having organised and run a few over the years, I can only remember one that didn't end in a mass brawl, competetive drunkenness, general idiocy all round, uncontrollable bolshy and ignorant gypsy families - after one, we found that some of them had been crapping in a side room rather than using the toilets 50 yards away ..... Thank god I no longer have to deal with them or any of the general public any more ....
This was from an episode of "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding " Sondra Celli made it. http://sondracelli.com/
This picture leaves my mouth watering with a scrumptious Creamsicle aftertaste!!!
Pretty sure it's a gypsy wedding, they go elaborate with the dresses and suits. Love that dress!
That's from "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding." If I recall correctly, the groom's mom chased the bride with a broom.
Looks like she was shot in the upper right chest and is bleeding orange.
They’re unlikely to be mistaken for deer by hunters during the ceremony, so that’s a plus!
An amazing amount of work goes into these wedding dresses. (Readers outside the UK may not know about these, please Google "gypsy wedding" for more examples)
Don't believe she''ll be passing that dress down to a daughter. Yuck.

How is this trashy? Both venues look nice. They’re also not the same venue. Sure they’re very similar but they’re not exactly alike.
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.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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!
