Not every wedding is a dream come true. In fact, rarely can events that simultaneously cause so much stress and anxiety result in a blissful moment. At the end of the day, much of the reasoning behind this is our own fault. Culturally, we put way too much emphasis on the need to have the perfect time at your wedding while making both parties equally happy. It's an impossible task, so why do we keep doing this to ourselves? These folks understand all too well that weddings are just as likely to…

This bridezilla made so many mistakes, one of which was standing right next to the chocolate fountain during photos. What was this lady thinking? Clearly, she was not in her right mind because she also made an enemy of her teenage stepdaughter. As one person in the comments section of this Reddit thread pointed out, this story was more than just petty revenge. This was well-deserved karma for a cruel home-wrecker who mocked her stepdaughter’s health. Well, she ended up facing the consequences,…

There is a lot at stake when you're planning a wedding, which naturally means so much can go terribly wrong. Not only is there the anxiety surrounding superficial things like the flowers and the music and the food, but then there's also the anxiety that comes with appeasing multiple personalities at once and having certain difficult family members participate in the event. The truth is you can plan every possible way to avoid drama, but there are some people who simply bring drama with them whe…

The amount of money people are expected to casually spend on their friends' weddings is one of society's greatest ills at the moment. From exorbitant costs spent on flights and hotels for bachelor/bachelorette parties to money spent on bridal showers and gifts for the actual wedding weekend, the expenses can feel endless and can almost certainly put someone into debt. No one said anything about how budgeting for your best friend's wedding would be as hard to do as budgeting for your own adult l…

For whatever reason, there's something about wedding culture that gives engaged folks the false notion that they can get away with insane demands. First, there's the complete lack of care for how much money people have to spend just to attend from flights to hotels to wedding gifts. Then, if you're family or if you're in the wedding party, there's money for bachelor/bachelorette parties, dresses/suits, and more flights/hotels. Sure, being involved is an honor, but it's also quite the ask. This…

So much can go wrong at a wedding. Tensions are running high, everyone's stressed, and lots of money is often involved. Recently, I officiated a friend's wedding and felt the pressure first-hand for the first time. Not only could so much go wrong objectively but also I could be the one to mess everything up. And of course, it's impossible for your brain not to go to that place where you're like, “What if I said this instead of what I'm supposed to say? what if I just up and left right now and s…

Have you ever daydreamed about a grand wedding, without the hefty price tag? Well, don't we all? It turns out some people actually have the audacity to ask their guests to foot the bill for their big day. And not just the usual gifts, but the whole shebang: venue, food, drinks, cake, flowers, entertainment, etc. How do they do it? By sending out invitations that look like invoices, demanding a minimum amount of money per person, AFTER the guest RSVP's ‘yes’. Sounds crazy, right? But it's true.…

There are some wedding ceremonies you'll never forget for all the wrong reasons. As fall wedding season commences, let's take a trip down memory lane and recall those ceremonies that completely fell apart. Hopefully, the ceremonies that come to mind do not include your own. Personally speaking, I will have been a part of six wedding parties before the end of the year. That's right. Six. If I don't get some kind of a medal at the end of this, I will likely be the cause of one of these dramatic c…

These wedding photographers have some pretty good hunches about which couples will last a lifetime, and which will be divorced by next week. If you do that job for long enough, you learn the telltale signs of a relationship that's ripping at the seams. For lots of people, weddings are framed as one of the most important days of your life. It's the day that you formally agree to spend all your days with someone you love more than anyone else. The best part is that your family and friends are the…

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

Now that it's May, it's wedding season, which means your weekends are probably booked and busy.

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

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.

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.
