Bad Weddings and Wedding Trends - sperg about weddings here

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.
Yeah, including these Covid signs. I mean, covid bullshit aside, if you really want people to take you seriously, don't be all cute about it.

At my wedding, we technically had to wear masks and had to have a sign to cover our asses, but nobody did or cared and the police and venue coordinator who checked up on us didn't give a fuck either. Also, surprise! nobody got covid at all. The people who were scared about it just didn't show up and watched it remotely

That last sign was one stanza too long, should've just kept it as "Ring the bell for Mr. and Mrs." and that would've been fine. But these signs are also a good sign (kek) of letting you know neither bride nor groom are actual writers themselves (or probably had a guest/family member come up with these slogans) and have no sense of creativity. Writers have such a way with words, after all.

Here, have a wedding haiku I just made up on the fly:

Raise a glass to us
A toast for better and worse
Newlywed blessings​

That last sign seems to be an alternative to something I see at weddings a lot and it is called the "kissing game" where someone at dinner taps their glass loudly with their silverware and then everyone else does and the couple has to kiss for them to stop it. I don't know what other people think about that, I don't think it is that bad, but maybe that is because most of the crowds at weddings I have been to usually don't do it super often and those assholes that do it constantly are usually ignored.

As anyone heard of this game? I never see it talked about ever on wedding boards which makes me wonder if it is exclusive to the midwest.

None of the weddings I've been to. Only tapping on glassware was to start the toast,

Sounds stupid anyway, we all saw them kiss at the ceremony.

Hmmmmmm... I guess it is a regional midwest thing. Which makes me wonder if there are any regional things that you are aware of in your area that aren't a thing anywhere else?

I know in Pennsylvania and that area they do something known as a cookie table and in the South groom's cakes are pretty popular (the internet though has made groom's cakes more and more of a thing, especially since the idea that the groom can have his own cake and make it as silly as he wants is pretty appealing.) Hmmmm... I'll have to find some bad examples of groom's cakes.

Okay, you got us, all of us kiwis sperging about our weddings in this thread, we were only doing it to give people on the forums false hope that they could get married and have relatively normal lives outside the farms too.

FL doesn't have too much interesting going on except for the constant beach weddings by tourists who don't know how windy it gets on the beach.

Yeah your wedding arch is gone now. It's in the gulf. It's not coming back. Should have staked it down.
 
The only reason I want a wedding is so I can design and make the dress myself
Not to scare you off from doing this, but this reminds me of a wedding story that has been going around in my family for year
So back in the 80s when my aunt got married, she wanted to diy her dress and all of her bridesmaids dresses. Of course she didn't realize how much work it was so by about two weeks before the wedding, all she had were two bodies of the bridesmaids dresses done and her friend had to work long hours finishing all of the dresses and because it was a rush job, the bridesmaid dresses didn't fit quite right and her wedding dress couldn't be tailored to fit her exactly in time. It was a really stressful two weeks for her and her friend. Crisis was very narrowly averted.

So I guess the moral of the story is as long as you have a decent amount of sewing experience, be realistic on how much stuff you have time to diy, and don't procrastinate you can definitely make your own dress

It's extremely irritating.

In fact, thinking back, just about every wedding I've ever been to the groom or best man has told people to knock it the fuck off at the beginning of his speech; most of the time they have some alternative (you have to take the mic and sing a song with the word "love" in it is popular, another one had Wii Bowling hooked up to a projector and you had to get a strike to get the couple to kiss) or they flat out said, "Go ahead and clink your glasses, but before we kiss we're going to pick two of you to kiss, and it might not be someone you're married to!"

We had people do it a couple of times at our wedding. It felt kind of weird (even though we kissed at the altar). But, luckily it wasn't all the time. Our guests were pretty cool for the most part. Except for the wife of a high school friend.
She told everyone at her table (which was mostly my work friends) that I was her husband's "first". I went on 1 date with him in high school and I was his first KISS, but that is all. We ended up being good friends, but there was no chemistry between us.

I don't know what he told her, but that bitch just had to tell the entire table that story. And also, they took dancing lessons and did a full swing dance routine on the dance floor. It was annoying as hell. After that, I never really talked to him again because I was pissed.

My friends teased me constantly after that, though they did believe me at least. But, yeah, even if I had slept with him, it would be weird to tell people you just met that the bride took your husband's virginity. After all, it would mean you got the bride's cast off sloppy seconds. Just sayin'.
 
Boy am I glad to share this wedding from a friend of a friend. Basically, they’re Halloween People and they had a Halloween People wedding. The bridesmaids wore cloaks, as did the bride. The groom was dragged down the aisle by the officiant while wearing a straight jacket. He had a costume change later or mid ceremony, I don’t know, I wasn’t there. The bride also had a bloody dress.

Sorry for the blurring, pics are from a friend and she blurred them. Hope you can still make out enough of the Deadpool-looking makeup on the dude (iirc he’s supposed to be a demon?)

sorry about the formatting, I’m on my phone and doing my best

Whatever floats their boat, I guess, but why? This is a super serious day. You are committing to spending the rest of your life with someone (or to agreeing to pay a lawyer lots of money to get out of it). Why treat it like a costume party? Are these the pictures you really want to show your kids and grandkids one day?

Look, there's granny pretending to be an axe murderer when she married your grandpa. She really loved fake blood and pretending to kill people. 🗡️

Geez, that straitjacket... how embarrassing.... That is all I can say.

Reminds me of this picture I saw for a Halloween wedding where they named each table after a serial killer.

Can we talk about Halloween weddings for a second? They are always so cringey. Especially those that make their guests dress up especially since not every guest likes to dress up like that. I don't like weddings with super specific dress codes or dress codes that are trying to be cute by coming up with some term like "rustic chic" or something and just come off as confusing. I mean, you can trust guests to know how to dress themselves right? As long as some woman doesn't show up in a wedding dress and tries to upstage you or on the flipside shoes up in jeans and a t-shit at a formal affair it should be fine.

Ah, yes. When I'm at a wedding reception I find it adds an air of class to the occasion to bring up Jeffery Dahmer.

My god, that serial killer theme is so awkward. Cannot imagine being a guest and getting seated at the zodiac killer table and having to pretend it’s fun and cool.
I don’t know why people feel the need to have a theme at all. Sure, have an aesthetic, but it’s a party that already has a theme and that theme is wedding! The Halloween ones feel especially goofy, like you never left your hot topic mall goth phase.
I don’t have pictures of it, but the friend who sent me the straitjacket photos also attended a different Halloween wedding that they held on Halloween at a haunted house. They were disappointed that they had to schedule the wedding around the haunted house’s operations.
 
My husband and I love Halloween as much as the next person but why?

I could kinda understand it if you were being married in a place like Reno or Vegas where cringy themes seem to thrive, but getting a legitimate venue to do this kind of thing. . . I don't get it.

Sorry I'm a little late. I went to a wedding here in WV that did this. The guests all thought it was the best thing ever and they did it all the time, and the newlyweds loved it, which is great I guess. It just got annoying after a while. Other than that, it was a great wedding.
