'The flower girl was the daughter of the bride and the best man': Top 20+ shocking weddings gone wrong

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…

'You better cough up the dough': Bridezilla demands maid of honor purchase a dress she'll never wear again, divides Internet

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…

'I eventually snapped': Nitpicking aunt relentlessly terrorizes the bride-to-be; heroic bride stands up for herself and threatens to uninvite her

Anytime a wedding includes a blending of cultures, there are bound to be feathers that get rustled the wrong way. We all would hope that our family members could be cool enough to just back off and not over-step in the wedding planning, but we all know how family matters go– someone's going to take things too far.

'I questioned her moral choice to pick fabric over a baby': Entitled sister makes outrageous threats after sibling would not loan her a wedding dress

Let's set the record straight: we, along with the rest of Reddit, are totally Team OP. Let's get into it. The story starts out with the OP's Karen of a stepsister mortifying her at a family dinner. She drops the bombshell that she's expecting, and then, in an attempt at a toast, she calls out her sister for being "bigger in size and heart." Not cool. And if that wasn't enough, the stepsister then thanks the OP for letting her...

'Just figure it out!': Bridezilla demands sister risks losing her job and house to make it to her destination wedding

'Just figure it out!': Bridezilla demands sister risks losing her job and house to make it to her destination wedding

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…

'He left me for a coworker': 20+ stories of engagements that got called off just before the wedding

No one ever said there's no more drama after you get engaged. These folks know that fact all too well. They shared their stories of how their engagements fell apart not long before their wedding ceremonies via this r/AskReddit thread, and let's just that these stories are cringe and bleak. Most people probably assume that the root cause of these breakups is adultery, and you wouldn't be entirely wrong there. Cheating comes up a lot on this list, but it's the ridiculous ways in which adultery wa…

'Can I just... "accidentally" knock the cake over?': 20+ ways to ruin a wedding

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…

‘This VP was heartless’: Woman worker gets ‘quiet fired’ 2 days before wedding, forcing her to quit

Lots of people tread on eggshells around their boss, but are not always able to avoid the occasional crack that happens when you miss a spot. This particular story takes treading on eggshells to a whole different level, as in order not to upset this VP, you had to be… for lack of a better word, a man. OP was the 13th young woman to quit the job due to being ‘quiet fired’ after the VP learned she was getting married. How dare employees get married, am I right? How dare they live their own lives,…

Couple requests guests to foot $2k+ bill to attend their wedding

'Dream wedding? Get the guests to pay for it': Couple forces guests to pay $2k+ to attend their wedding

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.…

'She thought we'd ‘rekindle' things': Bride invites her sister's ex-boyfriend to the wedding, attempting to get them back together; sister stands up for herself and refuses to attend

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.

'The entire wedding party got food poisoning': 20 weddings that completely fell apart

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…

hair tantrum salon hair style stylist hair cut wedding tantrums malicious compliance - 22166021

'We all had a bit of a chuckle at her tantrum': Hair salon tells woman she can't bring friends with her, woman cancels her own wedding hair appointment

These salon workers have a long wait list, so they can afford to pick and choose which customers they'll serve. I wish more businesses were run this way. As u/MissAcedia shared, she works at a day spa that is very busy. Due to their long wait list of customers wanting a nice hair cut or day at the spa, their days are packed full. So when customers act up or get upset about scheduling issues, it's no problem for the OP to take them out of her calendar. After all, if you provide a great service,…

‘I cannot be in a long sleeve floor-length gown in the heat for 8 hours’: Mother-to-be stands up to an entitled bridezilla, refusing to abide by absurd dress code demands in order to protect her pregnancy

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...
