Forcing the things you like upon other people will be met with varied success. But, then and again, it is your day, and you should hold it how you want it But, even still, you have made somewhat of an obligation to properly feed the people who have gathered together to celebrate you, though there will be wildly different opinions of what “properly” is, and there's nothing worse than being left hungry at a wedding due to a lack of food. Still, you can imagine it would be wildly inappropriate

You don't wear white to a well-lit or naturally-lit normal wedding. Apparently, you also don't wear yellow to a blacklight wedding either—so says this bridal party who asked a guest to leave after declaring her yellow dress to be inappropriate under the chosen ambient lighting. While we've read about some ridiculous situations where wedding guests have worn what might-as-well-be wedding dresses to their friend's or family member's wedding affairs, I think it's fair to say that this is not one o…

Enforcing “no children” policies at weddings can be treacherous territory, on one hand you want to manifest the ideal you've bee

There are plenty of types of weddings: bad weddings, good weddings, traditional weddings, and untraditional ones… those at traditional locations and those taking place on the tops of mountains and places you generally might not ever expect; there are also those that go all out and those without any manner of ceremony whatsoever. No matter what the difference one thing generally remains certain: The wedding is for those being married and a chance for their loved ones to witness and celebrate the…

Fall wedding season is in full swing, and anyone who has ever attended a wedding knows that rarely does everything go according to plan. Sometimes, minor mishaps happen, like the caterer running late or a speaker tripping up in the middle of their speech. However, there are instances where things go so terribly wrong that the rest of the day seems impossible to correct. If this collection of funny wedding photos leaves a lasting impression on anyone who is in the process of planning their upcom…

"We had no choice but to throw all those sauces away."

There are certain implied rules of engagement when it comes to celebrations, and it's generally expected that you'll let the person being celebrated have their moment and not do anything to steal their thunder by making major announcements of your own that are bound to generate buzz and get people talking about you. Of course, this is notoriously hard for some people who can't bear to not be the center of attention, which is why we end up with so many of these stories of entitled friends and fa…

Weddings are an interesting social phenomenon. For starters, the bride and groom's first task is to literally rank their family and closest friends by order of importance to them in order to form their bridal parties, almost like we're back on MySpace with our Top Friends ranked and audaciously on display… From there, everyone else gets a rank, too, with what table they're seated at the reception, letting everyone know loud and clear “where they sit" on your social ladder. If you're seated at a…

This couple wanted to mix things up for their wedding, but they had no idea what their guests had planned for them. As told by a wedding coordinator, this story follows a couple who seemed to have it all figured out for their big day. But on the actual day of their nuptials, everything fell apart. This wedding coordinator thought that things were running smoothly in the weeks leading up to the wedding. They shared that there were no issues with vendors, guests, or the couple. They really though…

There are so many people you need to hire for your wedding, and choosing the right photographer is key. Of course the catering is important, and picking a DJ to spin your favorite tunes, plus making sure the officiant is ready to officiate your wedding. But people spend thousands to snag the photographer who they think will capture their big day with the most beautiful framing. After that big day is done, all that's left is that slice of wedding cake in the freezer, the dress and suit in the cl…

This couple wanted to send out 15 rules for their wedding. It's not a bad idea in theory, but the tone of the list, and some of the actual rules themselves, got people on the r/weddingshaming subreddit talking. There are a lot of good rules for your wedding, and most don't need to be spelled out for guests. For example, there's one rule which warns guests not to bring outside drinks… who does that? Rule #2 instructs guests not to “get in the photographer's way.” Who hurt this couple enough that…

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…

No couple wants to have the wedding that people remember as “the one with the terrible food.”

Maybe you can't recall the best wedding you've ever been to, but the worst one probably comes to mind instantly. Every couple wants their wedding to be memorable in the right way. They want guests to gush over the decorations, talk about how delicious the food is, and dance late in the night until their feet are sore. It's supposed to be fun… but a lot of weddings end up being so much work that the guests hardly get to enjoy themselves. A common factor seems to be the brides and grooms who plan…

Plan your wedding just two weeks ahead of time? What could go wrong? Well, just about everything, as this couple learned. It's understandable why a couple would want to avoid the pressures of planning a wedding . It can take years to put together a guest list, snag a venue, hire a catering company and a DJ… the list goes on and on. That's why it's fairly common for people to get engaged as a sign of their commitment to each other, and then take a few months or years to plan out their special da…
