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

This Wedding Invite
Whoa, that's a lot of aggression in an invite to a purportedly happy occasion. The only point without an insult is where they're asking for $$$
I kinda approve of the dress code one as well. Even though I find the whole thing terribly immature.

This is a "know your crowd" situation. I would hope the couple's friends and family have the same sense of humour as they do.
Yes, I'm thinking the same thing. Me and my husband had this kind of humor as well as our friends but, I would never do it because of moms, dads, grandparents etc.

Depending on your circle of friends, this could actually be well received. I'm fine with it.
The bit that infuriates me the most is the "Eat what you're given, you fat f**k." So people with allergies, lactose intolerance and other dietary needs are just supposed to starve then?
In the 70s we were raised vegetarian and my brother went to a party. They only had meat balls. Just meat balls. So my brother's friend said: Henk you go graze over there.

Me too! I really don't think this is something they would send out to everyone on the invite list . Probably just to a few people who would also get a kick out of it .

The only one where they are being 'polite' is the one where they were asking for money. Typical.
Funnily enough it doesn't insult the reader while asking for money
It honestly sounds purposely tasteless, like a "redneck" wedding.
Not gonna lie this is kind of funny. I feel like this might be totally appropriate for certain types of people. Although I hate this new thing of telling people what to give you as a gift. Dietary requirements for weddings have gone off the rails, though. It used to be people would let you know if they needed a vegetarian option or if they had an allergy. A friend of mine had a guest (not even a family member, it was a guest of a family member) send an entire page of what she can't eat as well as how she want the food cooked and what meals she would prefer to be offered. Like...WTF?
"Go butt f**k naked" I would have anyway, but adding it to the invitation is a nice touch.
Honestly it matters on what their friend's and family's sense of humor is. This could be hilarious to them and probably not meant to offend them
Umm, I love it. I wouldn’t send it out but I love it. I also would get married at the nearest courthouse just because above is the embodiment of me 🤣🤣🤣 gd lmfao
Gotta say. As someone with food allergies, I wouldn’t be going to this haha. I almost always bring my own food or eat ahead anyways, but this is just kind of a jerk move. We can’t control the foods that make us sick.
*purposefully curses at and/or insults guests* *very politely asks for gifts*
This is funny apart from the dietary requirements. And the excessive amount of insults. And the part where they ask for money. So basically just the 's**t you need to know' part
This was clearly a joke, a bad joke, but it’s better than some other invitations I’ve seen
I think I've seen this one before. IIRC, the website (where you're supposed to go if you have questions) is just a rickroll.
This is what I want my invitation to look like! Great sense of humor!
i like the "s**t you need to know" at the top in cursive, but thats about it
This is probably something sent to those who aren't offended and would get the humor in it.
I think this is just a joke and not something they truly believe. I would have laughed my butt off if one of my friends sent this out lol
Yeah, I wouldn't go. I might not even give a gift. Well, maybe a book from Miss Manners!
This is the same person from the third pic (the one who says she "needs" tons of money)
Well after the reception we may now know what Bride and groom will be a do'n.
Somebody better has RSVPed “can’t come. Not busy, just don’t give a f**k”
well, if this is the way they talk among their friends, what's wrong about it? Etiquette depends on the circumstances. I swear a lot when I'm with my girlfriends, others might be offended but to us it's not a sign of disrespect. Not sure I'd send this to my grandparents but even my parents would be amused
I wouldn't go if I got this passive aggressive note. Talk about narcissist
Are jay and silent bob actual say. "Fxxx yes" here? Will alanis bless them? Will metatron sing at church?
That kind of Wedding ANYTHING would leave me saying. Good luck, I ain't coming
I’m afraid I would have to send them a pile of dog s**t wrapped up as a wedding present.
The 'instructions' and f-bombs in every sentence makes the couple appear tired and bored. Or inserting f-bombs dumbs down the message and causes one to wince when thinking of an upcoming nerd-alert ceremony.
I honestly don't think I'd ever get an invitation like this as I sincerely hope I know no one that angry and unhappy
Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to find out if someone had a dietary restriction like having Celiac or a life threatening allergy so you don't spend hundreds of dollars, sometimes per plate, for someone to just throw it in the garbage because you'd rather just call your friends and family "fat f***s" than just take 10 seconds to find out the relevant information? Guess you can't really make a snappy one liner out of all that though 🙄
No one is gonna go to a wedding when your invite has curse words in it
I think if I were invited I would sit this one out .. and rethink who I'm friends with.
Why do people now think that swearing is appropriate? If they so desperately need to be rude, they can still be rude without that offensive word...............F.....!!
I guess they are trying to be funny. Just comes off as crass. Guess I’m just a little old fashioned still because a wedding is a celebration of a sacred union not a frat party. There should be some decorum. Don’t bother getting married then and live common-law - no one cares anymore.
1 S word, 7 F words, I would ram that into the shredder, do a No-show, and dont even say 'No i cannot come'
The fat shaming start had me over it even though I thought most of the rest was funny.
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.

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!

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.
