Bad Weddings and Wedding Trends - sperg about weddings here

[WendyClitlock]

That's it.
I read the older woman with short hair and the shiny dress was the bride's grandmother, and once she realized what the lyrics were, she left the wedding.
Don't know how true it is, but if so I don't blame her.

The dude who covers the boys ears is the brides brother, and his son. It always makes me laugh how he must not really know shit about his sister to not see any of that coming.

There's a Bongistani TV show called Don't Tell the Bride that plays off the "clueless man doesn't know how to organise a wedding" trope by having clueless men who don't know how to organise weddings organise weddings without the brides having any input or knowledge of what they're doing until it's much too late. Some of the husbands are thoughtful and understand basic colour theory but it has resulted in some truly heinous choices and entertaining meltdowns. They get a £12-14,000 budget depending on the season, definitely tempting for people who don't have much money to throw around and are willing to publicly humiliate themselves.

Here is another post from Weddingbee that I remember. It is titled "My husband is too cheap." Everything about this screams spoiled brat.

"MY RING ISNT EXPENSIVE ENOUGH"
way to make it clear you "love" this guy

What do people feel about promise rings? I never seen the point to them, but I have known women past the age of 16 to get them including this one woman I knew in her 40s who had one. Like, if you are committed enough to get a promise ring, why just get an engagement ring and get engaged? What is stopping you from getting married? I mean, usually teens did it because they weren't legally allowed to get married (without parents permission at least) or I guess maybe you were in college and wanted to wait until you got out? Still, it shouldn't be a think once you are an adult. Couldn't you just give a woman jewelry if they wanted it?

I think promise rings are cute for anyone between the ages of 14-20. Once you enter your twenties I think it becomes immature.

Another thought I had the other day is if vow renewals are going to become way more common in coming years. They were already on the rise, but with covid ruining many couples plans I wonder if vow renewals will be more extravagant than ever to make up for covid weddings. I had only heard of people doing vow renewals for their 10th, 15th, 20th, ect anniversary, but now we could see people having "vow renewals" as early as 2 to 5 years into marriage. I've also heard that bookings for venues have become a nightmare in certain areas. I've even heard some places are booked until 2023 due to people waiting for covid to be over. I just hope this clears up in time for when I am ready to be married.

I remember several years ago when burlap was the big thing. It doesn't inherently look bad but when EVERYBODY is doing it...

Yes! Burlap and mason jars were very much a thing back in the early-mid 2010s. I still see burlap wedding decorations to this day at Hobby Lobby and Michael's.

Yeah, I had to pretty much rush to get things books up for my wedding because 2020 brides were rescheduling for 2021. You have to be really on top of things. Honestly, I think vow renewals are a waste of money, but at the same time, I guess it is their money.

Also, here is another trend I thought of that had its spotlight in the early 2010s and that is guerilla weddings. Basically, the couple the officiant, and a few other people show up to a spot that they didn't book or have a permit to and conduct a quick wedding ceremony. To me, that just seems kind of risky depending on where you have it. If it is somewhere public without a lot of people as opposed to private property or somewhere that does weddings already where you could get caught for tresspassing, you might be able to get away from it, but there are some couples that do it at Disney or Universal or somewhere where the consequences are pretty bad if you get caught.

The couple shown below were apparently annual pass holders at Disney and were too broke to have an official Disney wedding so they went to the park and quickly did a wedding before the staff could do anything about it. I am surprised she didn't get caught considering that veil and Mickey top hat would probably give it away. I am very much in the camp of "fuck Disney and their overpriced wedding", but they could have gotten their annual passes revoked.

1) The fucker puts her in a pink, cheap plastic-looking tulle dress that looks like Spencer's Gift Shop levels of shitty lingerie and treats her like that when she cries?! Let me guess, the dumb bitch still marries him after that demonstration of what he thinks of her and her family.

2) groom: possibly hates his fiance and family even more than the previous one and is an even bigger retard
dad: "Well you picked him."
Holy shit, my sides!

3) A fitting end to a trashy couple. That groom is so incredibly selfish that I blame the bride for not staying away after walking away the first time at the fucking brewery.

4) Those yellow dresses look like absolute trashfires straight out of one of those mall shops that targets young black women and teenagers. The pink ones would look pretty nice if they weren't such an eye-searing bubblegum color.

5) I can't find the words for how selfish and disgusting the groom and his friends are. The bride is a self-depreciating retard if she stays with that fuckboy.

My trainwreck syndrome is kicking in for this show on all cylinders and I'm about to look for a torrent. Goddammit.

Don't forget the international versions

Holy shit, is every groom they pick to plan their wedding a selfish manchild? Is that a prerequisite for the show, or are there episodes that feature actual good and caring men who give a fuck about their brides?

Torrenting this show is going to be difficult. The results for it are showing only individual episodes, most of which have no one seeding them.

There are a lot of full episodes on Dailymotion, but they're not organised by season.

Gonna share the terrible wedding one of my train wreck family members had a few years ago.

Something about your avatar made this necessary:

There are websites you can list the dress for brides to be to buy it and get it some more life out of it.

"It's mine! It's mine! No one but the trash gets it after me!"

Older wedding dresses looked better and were more humble anyway. Either way these people are wasting potentially thousands of dollars for pictures that no one will ever look at for more than 5 seconds.

Hate it. I've saved mine in case my daughter wants to wear it someday (but it's totally cool if she doesn't). If she doesn't want it, I'll donate it. Someone on a budget might like to find it in a thrift store. Or it could be refashioned and dyed and made into a non-bridal dress if someone was talented in that department. Such a waste (and peak consumerism) to trash your wedding dress after.

I think part of this is some unwillingness to get a mother or grandmother's dress tailored. There's something about "Keeping it preserved" but then no one ever uses it again and it just sits there collecting dust and rots.

Do people still get them tailored into christening gowns, or has that tradition died out?

I bought a christening gown but then I got to use it a bunch of times so it got better value for money with each child. I was reluctant to try taking my wedding dress apart as I doubt my skills are up to the task

There used to be a minor tradition of turning your wedding dress into your baby's christening gown, it's what a lot of older women did though it doesn't seem to be done much anymore. Probably less practical these days with all the beading and stuff that goes into modern wedding dresses.

Funny you should mention this, but there is a charity that does something similar for families of dead babies where they make burial gowns out of wedding dresses for them. (link) (but shhhhhh... don't tell any of the Tard Baby General parents about this for their potato's inevitable passing, the volunteer seamstresses are overworked enough as is and don't need some parents with their dead spud which shouldn't have existed bothering them)

Also, that reality show looks amazing, one like to believe their husband knows them well and will make good decisions, but damn, what manchildren. I wonder how long some of these marriages last. I wonder that a lot watching Say Yes to the Dress as well

Also, before I forget, here is a Juggalo themed wedding.

That’s about the most pathetic wedding I’ve ever seen.

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.

This design would look far nicer on a brooch pin.

There are still places where you can donate your wedding dress to be made for christening gowns or even gowns to bury infants like mentioned above (they used to also take prom dresses if they met the requirements but idk if they still accept them).

I just thought of something else I really hate and that is cutesy wedding signs that rhyme. Especially ones that tell you can sit wherever you like. I understand the need for them since sometimes sides don't work if the sides are super uneven, but what is wrong with a sign that simply says "Sit anywhere you like?" Why do you have to be so cute about it? It makes me feel like I'm in a Dr. Seuss book.

(is it me or does the first sign look like it is saying "fuck a seat" at least that is what I read at first, seriously, some of these fonts....)

How does it matter? You know damn well nobody reads signs.

I can't even be arsed to read 'em tbh and it was the point of your post. Something something BuK a Seat.

Back from the destination wedding. It was fairly modern, couple dozen people, ceremony and reception were both held at a yuppie restaurant with a great outdoor area that had been rented out for the event. Bride and groom had already been living together for a few years, so there was no religious hokum or anything like that. I actually had a really good time, and as always, my previous griping was due to me being a fucking prick. I still say destination weddings are annoying

This happened in my family. Different family members were passing around a wedding dress from 1850, pretty amazing at survived so long but because no one ever actually reused it eventually it fell apart and we all have clippings of it. So I have about one foot of this wedding dress in my file cabinet.
