When you think of it, weddings are the unofficial mirror of our society where if something can go wrong, it surely will. They also bring some of the most memorable and sweet moments that are among the very few life-changing things humans have.
But saying “I do” can be as colorful as the world itself: from people hosting their wedding in the middle of Walmart or a parking lot, or a gas station, or right there in front of a dumpster, and I’m not just making that up. After all, who’re we to judge if this is what makes two lovebirds happy? And sometimes it’s not even them, it’s the guests who forwarded their wedding invitation to a bunch more uninvited guests.
So get your popcorn ready for this compilation of the most “Seriously!?” wedding moments for ensued craziness: the matrimonial edition.

Best. Wedding. Photo. Ever
No matter what your wedding may look like, it all starts with a meticulous (and for some, spontaneous) planning process. Guest list, catering menu, venue, style, dress, everything puts huge pressure on the newlyweds, so no wonder it may go astray at any time.
Bored Panda talked to Rhiann Janak, the lead wedding planner and CEO of “Lucy Till French Weddings.” Rhiann said that essentially, “If there are too many cooks in the kitchen, you'll have a hard time pleasing everyone and drama will arise.”

I Was Told This Wedding Invitation Should Be Under Trashy

So if you want to eat vegetarian or kosher, you need to spend at least 1001 dollars on a gift. Well, f*ck me. I'd completely ghost these people.

My Best Friend Finally Mailed Me An Invitation To His Wedding
Instead, she suggested being aware that “when you are given money to organize your wedding, ask yourself, does this come with expectations to do parts of the wedding a certain way? Are you okay with those expectations?” In reality, only the couple knows how they want their most beautiful day to look, and they should stick to what makes them happy and not everybody else.
And in order to avoid any unnecessary drama, Rhiann recommends a simple trick: “keep the choices you make a secret until the wedding day unless you genuinely want someone's input as it may be different to yours.”

Mother-In-Law

In that case she should have chosen her words for the tweet more carefully. But getting Jimmy Fallon to read it was probably more important to her.

Thanks for the link Caroline. Glad DIL was okay in the end about it but it still doesn't cut it for me. Who would ever pick a wedding dress to attend someone else's wedding? There would have been far cheaper and better bargains in normal smart clothing. A suit or dress. Why even be looking at wedding dresses? Even if it all turns out okay and the MIL is embarrassed now it's as weird as fu-ck a thing to do - and I really did grow up in poverty. I didn't even buy a wedding dress for my own wedding as I felt them to be too expensive, even the bargains, not for something I would wear once. I simply couldn't rationalise it in my own head. Instead I bought a beautiful but special dress that I could wear again and have. If MIL was so frugal isn't that more likely to fit that characteristic? I get the bargain thing and being extremely careful with money. Seems to me that she absolutely wanted to wear a wedding dress and the rest is a lot of self justifying nonsense.

This actually has a very sweet backstory that the bride shared when this picture first went viral. The MIL was of modest means. She bought her dress at a thrift store & sincerely didn't know it was taboo to wear white. She apologized profusely when she found out. The DIL went on to say that her MIL is the best mother & grandmother, that she helps the DIL in so many ways, including caring for her & her children when she was sick with the flu.

This image is always used when a MIL turns up in white for a wedding. But the story is still a little more wholesome and not as bad as you think it to be. Someone else has posted a link to the entire story and it's worth a read.

My MIL did the same at my wedding, despite my husband and her friends telling her not to do it. At the reception some of my guests asked me if this didn't bothered me. Of course it did, but I would not let it take my day. Instead, as my husband is from a European country that none of my guests visited, I said to them that it was traditional in his home country. Soon the rumor spread among all my guests and nobody cared anymore. Now it became a fun memory.

Well done! 11/10 for style👍 unnecessary drama elegantly avoided and MIL's "unfortunate" choice generously ignored by most guests.

Crochet lady 3 years ago
It wouldn't have bothered me. I'd still be the one walking down the aisle, still be the one getting married and still be the one taking part of the wedding that is being celebrated that day. I know it's a rule, I'm just saying if someone flouted the rule it would be best to ignore them. The day will still be about the bride and groom and the guest who wore white only gets the oxygen you give her.

That is seriously effed up. I'd have to sock the woman. I know, no violence. But I would at least daydream about doing it, lol. Forgive me everyone. But you have to admit, that's a lowdown, dirty thing to do. I feel bad for the bride. She will have to put up with that woman for the rest of her life - if she decides to stick around.

Wasn't Expecting To See A Wedding When I Stopped At Wal*mart This Weekend...
Rhiann recounted one incident about her friend who had a vegan meal in the heart of Texas, BBQ country. “Her mother-in-law spent the entire planning process stressing about the fact that people will be hungry and wearing out the phrase 'what, I can't believe there won't be any meat.'”
“But in the end, everyone, all the guests, and mother-in-law were really happy with the meal,” Rhiann said and added that “sometimes, a bit of surprise is a good thing.” You shouldn’t thoroughly adapt your wedding to the preferences of your guests, and if you take them into account, this should not overturn the things that you feel comfortable with on your wedding day.

At the same time, while planning a wedding, you could take others’ opinions into account, especially if it’s someone you have a general bond with and both you and your partner trust. This may be your parents, or other close relatives, who will surely have their opinions on how you handle the wedding planning. This is especially true if you rely on your parents’ finances, which often correlates with how much they're contributing.

On the other hand, the constructive contribution should not be confused with toxic criticism. If anyone is being harsh with your wedding (and life) choices and openly questioning whether your “I do” is right, whether your wedding is well-planned, it may cause you to lose self-esteem. Be open-minded about opinions, but remember that for some, marrying in Walmart will surely look like the craziest idea on the planet, but you may have your own reasons why such an unusual venue is the place you want to marry. And it’s totally fine.

We Sent You This Card So Send Us Money
Yegramma 3 years ago
I am staggered at the amount of people who ask for gifts, money or otherwise. I grew up with the idea that a wedding was a covenant between two people who invited those they love to come witness that promise. Gifts are not what make a wedding. Love, and the sharing of love is. I find it tacky as well as greedy to set expectations of monetary gain from a wedding.

As much as I love to laugh about things I'd never consider for myself, it really doesn't matter if other people consider venue or outfits as trashy, so long as the Bride and Groom have a great day. It's also nice to see people having weddings within their budget (presumably) rather than getting caught up in all the wedding day hype

Yeah, some of these weddings aren't up a lot of people's allies style-wise, but I don't think they need to be shamed- that being said though, the trump wedding, the corona spreading weddings and the gift requirement and money collector weddings do deserve a lot of shame.

Call me crazy but a lot of these are not trashy. Some are due to financial constraints, some with inside jokes that a picture cannot convey and some are just a matter of tastes. I really don't see it fit or appropriate to judge a ceremony just based on a photo. A few of them though are rather funny, I have to admit.
