Your priorities should always be centered around your family. You ought to go above and beyond to ensure the happiness of your loved ones. But what would you do if your family openly disregarded your field of employment and treated you like an unnecessary burden? Would you still treat them with the highest regard? The story below is an account of a frustrated cousin. The original poster (OP) volunteered to be the photographer for his cousin's wedding. He felt obligated to help the couple in any…

What's worse than having an awkward first date at a restaurant? Having one at a funeral.

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…

Honestly, has upper or regional management ever volunteered to fill in for a weekend shift? This wouldn't be the first time that an upper manager pulled something like this, going with the old “you have to make sacrifices to go along with your rank” and ignoring the fact that they're not actually paying their “manager” the industry standard for their role, let alone enough to match the gravitas that they're placing on it. Further, they're conveniently forgetting the fact that they're a manager,…

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…

Many a friendship has been damaged by a bridezilla, and this one is no exception.

“It's YOUR wedding. Full stop.”

“You must fit into my childhood expectations"

It's nearly impossible for a wedding to go entirely according to plan, but these ceremonies really went south in the most unexpected ways. As someone who attended more weddings last year than one ever should, I can attest to the fact that no matter how prepared the couple is, there will always be some kind of inevitable drama. It could be a family member going rogue or a force majeure situation. It could be that someone gets sick or the florist messes something up. Anyone who has been involved…

Cruise ships: floating palaces packed with tourists and plague that light up the oceans and terrorize whatever small port they happen to land in. You'd have to consider yourself mighty important indeed to think that one of these floating fortresses would forestall its scheduled course in order to accommodate your unfortunately entitled person... Sure, let's leave 3999 people waiting while the 4000th takes their time making your way back to the dock according to their own time. Sure, it's a toug…

Nobody knows how to ruin a wedding celebration quite like a Monster-in-law.

Baby names are a tricky subject, especially when you factor in familial traditions that you might be expected to uphold, and limitations, judgment, and grievances that might be placed by the people around on the name you finally settle on. Of course, especially these days, many people want their baby's name to be unique. Yet somehow these people all end up naming their kid some variation of the same thing, not realizing it until their kid is one of dozens of “Theo”s in their class when they sta…

Bridezillas and groomzillas, your wedding planners haven't forgotten the way you acted. In fact, probably everyone at your wedding reception still remembers, according to these absolutely wild stories. On the r/AskReddit page, u/joshgetsitdone had a question for the wedding planners of the world: “What is the biggest bridezilla moment you've witnessed?” Of course, a lot of people who answered the question were witnesses rather than wedding planners, but a few wedding planners shared their crazi…

Planning a wedding might be one of the most challenging experiences in a couple's relationship. We were taught to believe that our wedding day is one of the most important days of our lives, so we all want it to be the most perfect day we could make it be. This means we will plan it to perfection, which can be quite a stressful endeavor. One thing that a couple should never ever settle on, is their wedding photographer, because that person is in charge of creating the biggest memories from that…

In the pursuit of money, some people will stoop to embarrassing low points. Being low on money is a terrifying feeling, and if you have nowhere to turn, it's all that's on your mind. Still, there's a time and place to ask for money if you have to. It's a risky question, because friendships and relationships can easily fall apart over unrepaid loans. This person chose a very silly and utterly tasteless time to ask for money: right after a couple's wedding. That's a ridiculous time to ask for mon…

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…
