Bad Weddings and Wedding Trends - sperg about weddings here

Yeah, plus with the women, they don't want to get married because they are expected to give up their careers and have kids due to the stigma behind working moms and they don't want to do that because they don't want to lose their financial freedom.


In speaking of Pokemon...

You can have an official Pokemon wedding in Japan which I will say is a lot more classier than that abomination I showed in the OP

God, that reminds me of a weddingbee post from way back of some chick with the ugliest as fuck ring that was 5 carats according to title, but what she actually meant was it was 5 carats worth of stones and not one big one. It must have cost a lot if those are real diamonds. Here it is:

I just have to ask: am I the only one here who thinks that 90%of that ring's ugliness comes from the clusterfuck of stones? There is just something gross and tacky-looking about stones clustered together that repulses me in about .0007 seconds. It looks like a ring coated in coarse glitter or sequins (also ugly AF at all times, IMO), for fuck's sake. What the hell ever happened to just one medium or large stone flanked by two smaller ones, or just seated by itself? Clusters of gems make everything they're set into look like it came out of one of those capsule machines at the grocery store that were popular in the 90s.

In so many ways past just the plastic-looking cheap materials used. Did anyone else notice that the dress doesn't even cover up her bloomers, aka her poofy underwear? And are the bloomers split open like a skirt to undo the biggest point of their modesty coverage? Also a nice touch designing that garment representing impending deflowering on what looks like a nine year old child. Very classy all around. (Yes, I am that person who's creeped the fuck out by sexualizing children and doesn't give cartoons a pass.)

Oh speaking of Pokémon, that reminds me that there was an official Mew engagement ring made! I think it's adorable, but I'm biased because I love Mew.

This version of Sakura is in elementary school so you aren't far off the mark. CLAMP has had better and more elegant designs before and after this so it was just a major let down. If they wanted to use Sakura for their muse, TRC!Sakura is right there and much older.

There's also pikachu and eevee engagement rings, possibly more. Personally I think they're cute as well. Maybe not for an engagement ring but I'd wear it because I'm a freak abomination of nature.

Hold on guys, I found the rest of the Sailor Moon wedding dress collection and most of them look a lot more sane.

First one is dope, 2nd one looks like it took inspiration from Neo Queen Serenity, 3rd reminds me of the dress Usagi was married in at the end of the manga, 4th is human!Luna (who is usually a freaking cat!), and 5th is an abomination.

Is the unity stuff a nu-age thing, or has it always been a thing like handfasting? In which case, why not just stick to handfasting, because "muh cultural appropriation" or something?
Click to expand...
yeah, I don't know, unity stuff has been around since about the 80s it seems. How they started was literally candle companies wanted to sell more candles so they marketed unity candles. Of course certain venues have fire restrictions so a lot of new unity alternatives were made, but they have since gotten super ridiculous.

I agree. I think in the 70s cluster rings were really big, but I hope they stay in the 70s because they are ugly as hell and a very cheap way to make the ring look bigger by adding tons of little stones as opposed to a bigger stone. There are tons of better ways to use little stones though like halos, pave bands, or two stones on the side, anything but hideous cluster rings God, reminds me of another post with an ugly cluster engagement ring. Hopefully Tyson didn't delete that one...

That last one I never would've guessed was inspired by Sailor Moon if it wasn't stated as such. What the fuck even is that lmao.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it's all the colors of the different Sailor Scouts' uniforms mashed together. Still an abomination unto God and man.

I think I figured it out guys, that is supposed to be based on the transforming effect when Sailor Moon transforms, but yeah, no...

Speaking of cluster rings, it reminds me that in Twilight, Bella had an ugly ass cluster ring and I remember they made official twilight engagement rings. It is ugly as sin.

Apparently some fan bought the prop one for 17,000 dollars I can't find how much the replica rings were going at the time. If I remember correctly there was a cheaper cubic zirconium one for teenage girls and one that was made of diamonds that was meant to be a more serious engagement one.

Etiquette Hell again. This one was GOLD so I figured I'd share it with you all.

My first request to be a bridesmaid was when I was 22. The Bride-to-be and I had been "Best" friends for 7 years so the invite was not unexpected, it was the way it was presented to me and the circumstances around it that floored me.

The Bride-to-be met the groom 6 months previous in a bar commonly referred to as "the cave". She had been dumped that afternoon by her boyfriend of 4 years and tying one on seemed the obvious remedy. (I was not with her that night, as I was away at school.) The Bride-to-be always had a fixation on long-haired rock-n-roll types and the band playing that night was right up her alley. Unable to score with a band member she moved on to the next best thing: The guy working the sound board and light system. A.k.a the groom-to-be. The Bride and Groom-to-be quickly developed an all consuming, drunken, rebound affair. The passions of course fizzled out after a couple of months and then they fought for another month before the groom-to-be was evicted from their apartment and he headed back home to Montana.

Shortly after the groom-to-be left, the Bride-to-be sobered up and realized she was pregnant. The Bride-to-be considered her options, then headed to Montana in search of the groom-to-be. After a week she found him and convinced him to make an honest woman of her. The delighted Bride-to-be called me to give me all the details of her coup and that she was now planning her nuptials. Two weeks later the Bride-to-be called me in an absolute state of misery and confusion, because there was a glitch in her plans. The groom-to-be had lied to her about his age he was NOT 26 as he and his fake I.D. attested, in fact he had just turned 17 the month before. Now a lot of us would have abandoned ship right here, but not the Bride-to-be, she went to the mother of the groom-to-be and instead of negotiating that good ol' mom wouldn't press charges on statutory rape she managed to secure a note of permission for her little boy to get married.

So, three weeks from the wedding I receive a call from the Bride-to-be requesting that I be her bridesmaid. Honestly I did not want to have anything to do with this mess. I had been hoping that as she was going to be 4 and a half months pregnant by the time she tied the knot and her being a cradle-robber and all, I figured she would go for a very low key ceremony. Wrong! She was going all out, all white and I didn't have a prepared excuse so I very reluctantly said "yes ".

The Bride-to-be was very happy that I agreed to this as I was the SIXTH person she had asked and everybody else said no! She didn't even know six other people and I was supposed to be her best friend!?! She went on to say they she wanted at least 3 bridesmaids so she had to find more people to ask. The dresses were going to be 'baby teal', her favorite color and then she went on to gush about the "huge, puffy" size of the sleeves! She went on but I stopped listening because I thought my head was going to explode!

I suddenly realized that I was a bad friend. I was offended on so many levels: SIXTH asked! BABY TEAL! PUFFY SLEEVES! UNDER AGE GROOM! There was no way in Hell I could be seen anywhere near that train wreck let alone participate in it. I interrupted the Bride-to-be and quickly told her that I had to work and would not be able to attend her wedding. The Bride-to-be's response: "Oh. Okay."

We did stay in touch after that and it was like nothing negative had ever happened. Weird! I did hear about the wedding afterwards. It was probably best described by the Bride's father who moaned: "I never thought I would throw a thousand dollar kegger for my daughter and her friends."

They are non-traditional non-white ones which is nice. The thing about buying different colored wedding dresses is that you have to be careful not to look like you are going to prom or your quincenera or something, especially if you are a younger bride. I think they are alright


I surprised they didn't make any Evangelion inspired wedding dresses or something considering they made Evangelion engagement rings
View attachment 2649369
View attachment 2649371

Also recently they made Dragon Quest engagement rings too based on the rings of Dragon Quest V (not pictured is one that looks like the one pictured, but in blue)


View attachment 2649373

I feel like they are releasing all of this stuff to try to get young people in Japan to get married considering the wedding industry over there is suffering big time because nobody wants to get married or have kids.

Okay, it's settled. If my man doesn't propose with an Evangelion ring, it's over between us. This is fucking amazing LMAO

These rings are typically limited stock and only sold for a short period of time sadly. For example, the Shinji and Kaworu rings were sold in Jan 2015 for roughly a month.
