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…

Weddings are expensive, so planning a nuptial on a budget can make a person lose sight of appropriate ethics when it comes to money matters. Although everyone wants to make their wedding the event of their dreams, sometimes we're just not rich enough for that. 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…

When you get engaged, there's apparently a high possibility that you come to believe the world has stopped and started revolving entirely around you.

These marriages will last a lunchtime, not a lifetime.

This deacon had a reputation for being difficult, but clearly this time, he messed with the wrong groom.

No wedding would be complete without a little family drama behind the scenes. This woman got into a spat with her step-mother-in-law before her nuptials. In fact, the OP wrote to r/AmItheA**hole to get some clarity on the situation before marrying her fiancé . As she tells it, she and her fiance are planning a summer wedding that will be casual and “not doing all the traditions." By that, she means that she's walking down the aisle with her sister, while her fiancé wants to walk down the aisle…

Weddings seem to be trendy at the moment, which means the bridezillas of the world are emerging. The thing about bridezillas is they come in many shapes, sizes, and personalities. From personal experience, there are the bridezillas that you always knew would be bridezillas, the ones you think will be bridezillas who turn out to be shockingly fine, and the bridezillas who you never would have expected would be bridezillas. The latter, of course, is the most shocking breed of bridezilla. For the…

For anyone who has ever had to deal with a crazy bridezilla, this story has the kind of triumphant ending bridezillas deserve.

People who desire absolute control over a situation love ultimatums. The problem with ultimatums is that the person you're setting the ultimatum with might call you on your bluff, leaving the illusion of any control you had over them shattered—along with the entire relationship. Weddings can be stressful times and leave the couple at the frayed ends of sanity as they try to manifest the perfect day. This can bring the absolute worst out in people, bringing down the facade of their personality a…
