Sisterly loyalties only go so far, and when one woman's sister, the bride, thought she'd play god with her own sibling's relationship, things backfired. Frankly, weddings bring out the cringe in all of us. Whether you're a sorry sap that cries during the vows (guilty as charged), the distant aunt who reminds the bride that they used to change their diapers, or you're the guest that drinks too much at the open bar, there's some social mixing that brings out the worst in everyone.

Some people have dreamed about their wedding day since they were a little kid. Childhood dreams of Cinderella dresses, clinking champagne flutes, and a black-tie affair can sail through a kid's mind without a second thought, but in the deep south, an outdoor, summertime, black-tie event is a little more complicated to plan than an enchanting Disney-style ball. Guests could lose more than a glass slipper in those hot n' sweaty conditions...

There are certain people in life who enjoy inserting themselves into situations where they are clearly not wanted. This coworker was invited to the Redditor and his wife's wedding as a courtesy, but she decided that it was important to her to assist in the planning despite not taking into account the tastes of the bride and groom. She honestly sounds like an absolute nightmare to deal with. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/Nachtjaeger68 , and let's just say tha…

There are certain people out there who just want all of the attention—all the time. No matter the situation, they need to be in the center of it with all eyes firmly focused on them. These 'Heathers' (just wait, it will catch on) of the world are the sort of people who will try to upstage you at your own wedding, doing outrageous things like getting engaged at your reception. They'll somehow make your birthday party about themselves, and before the candles are blown out on the cake, they'll be…

An entitled parent just cannot believe the world doesn't revolve around her and her kids. As u/FlounderEffective819 shared in a shocking story, she was excited for her wedding, but was insistent that the big day should be child free . All the OP wanted was a special moment with her husband as she walked down the aisle. That's a pretty normal thing to want at a wedding reception, but one of the OP's family members, who has three young children, didn't take the “no kids” rule very well. It seems…

One woman, a 40 something who was finally ready to walk down the aisle, recently planned an enormous wedding on a skimpy budget; then, she did the unthinkable...

Never cheat on a welder!

This niece fell victim to one of the classic blunders… The most famous is: Never get involved in a land war in Asia. But only slightly less well-known is this: Never wear white to a wedding! (…or go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.) It's always surprising to see stories about people wearing white to a wedding; you would think that people would know (and obey) such a universal rule. Your job at a wedding is to blend into the crowd. There's nothing else that you need to do other t…

That kid is going to resent her aunt for the rest of her life after this.

You'd expect to wait just a few minutes, an hour at most, for most weddings to begin. You arrive, sometimes have a beverage or a little snack, and then you're ushered in as the ceremony begins. But not every wedding party is so meticulously planned as to start on time. These guests ended up waiting for hours and hours at a gazebo for a bride and groom who took ages to show up to their own wedding! The story, as told by u/worldlysentiments to r/weddingshaming, is a wild one. The OP was a guest a…

We've seen plenty of stories where folks lose their minds in the wedding planning process.

A bride and her bridesmaid are unsure what to do about this request from the bridesmaid, and it seems like no one can agree on the best course of action. U/Old-Material-6136 wrote to r/AmItheA**hole seeking advice . It's a sticky situation, to be sure: she and her fiancé both adore chocolate, and it was even part of the way they met each other. They wanted to incorporate the chocolate theme into their wedding, which sounds delicious for almost everyone involved. One of the bridesmaids made it c…
