I'm your biggest fan, but would like to gently remind you with all due respect that not everyone has your current socioeconomic advantages. Plenty of people choose not to provide booze at weddings and their decision is delegitimized publically when 460,000 people hear you ridicule it. Families sensitive to those iñ recovery for example. Those who know someone who was sued after a driver left their gathering and caused a fatal crash. Or people who just want to share their happiness with those they love but must leave out extras like bartenders and d.j.s in order to do so. For myself, i've yet to see a wedding improved by drunks.

[@kaoutermouslimhaliba7145]

My friend did something like a dry wedding thing. But she warned us. She told us she was just getting married at the City Hall ,and if we wanted we could go, but that only her family and that of her husband would hold a private reception. We went to see her ,she wore a beautiful wedding dress, and the time we stayed there hearing their vows to each other, and some family member's speeches was very sweet. Afterwards we met her outside the hall and congratulated her, took some pictures etc.. And then they went off to their private reception. Everybody was happy.

My grandma wore TWO engagement rings, and she wore them till the day she died. She was widowed less than a year into her marriage, and when she finally remarried five years later her two engagement rings were attached together by a jeweler. So yeah, no one is entitled to anyone's rings unless and until a designated time. When I was about 12 my grandma told me she wanted me to have her rings when she died, so I have them now and they are precious, not because of their "value" as rings, but because they were important to my grandma.

[@RabbidTribble]

You know, every time I watch these, I reflect that the loveliest wedding I've ever been to was extremely cheap and unpretentious. The bride had survived cancer (and the groom had nursed her through it), so her head was shaved and they were basically broke from medical payments. She wore a white dress that was likely a thrift store prom dress and looked beautiful. Her friends did her makeup. She had two bridesmaids- her sisters. One made the (chocolate) wedding cake, which was decorated with pansies from their garden, while the other sewed their bridesmaid dresses. The groom's family cooked a meal for the rehearsal, there was a simple, sweet ceremony at the church, and the reception was in her parents' backyard, with her parents making the food. They were touched when people brought gifts, but they didn't expect them. They were overjoyed that their loved ones had taken the time and expense to join them for their special day. Honestly, it was one of the most moving experiences I've ever had. It was one big love fest and the couple was radiant with happiness in the pictures their friends took of them. Fast-forward to the present-day and they've been married for fifteen years and have four children. THAT is a couple who understood what was most important in a wedding.

[@daughter_of_the_king_2580]

Awww i love this. It's so sweet and precious 💞 Truly refreshing after all these horrible stories

[@monroerobbins7551]

Exactly! Like, it’s ok to wanna have a beautiful ceremony, but beautiful doesn’t always mean expectations as high as the Sistine Chapel. Sometimes all you want is a lovely ceremony, which is fine, but what you need is to have a ceremony that makes you happy, and that’s a lovely affair for everyone. That doesn’t mean horses and gold bars, it means being considerate and understanding, both with your guests, and yourself. It’s not wrong to want something big; it’s wrong to force everyone to go along.

[@addie-eileenpaige6460]

That sounds beautiful. You don't need to spend big bucks to celebrate your love. Heck, I've known some people who had INSANELY expensive weddings and got divorced 2-5 years later, but others who had very simple weddings & are married decades later.

[@philipr1567]

When my wife and I were planning our wedding we decided on the following approach to guests: (1) This is our wedding, we are committing ourselves to each other, and we would like you to share our special day. (2) Ladies - wear what you like as long as it isn't white. (3) Men - tie preferred, but not essential. (4) Reception for all guests - we provide meal, champagne, wines, beers, soft drinks (guests can buy spirits at the bar) (5) Presents - not essential but, if guests want to buy something, basic items to set up our home would be good (bedding, towels, crockery etc) - or whatever you think would be fun or useful. (6) There will not be a gift table to display presents (so no-one will feel they need to spend for show or feel embarrassed). (7) Discreet message to people on tight budgets - F*** buying a present - spending time with us is more important than spending money on us! 33 years on, whenever we look at the wedding photos we think of our families and friends, not what they were wearing!

[@elainabarbaree659]

Funny story: one of my bridesmaids had a cycling accident a few weeks before my wedding. She was going to be in a cast and on crutches. I said, NBD, we'll decorate your crutches and make it fun! The mother of my MOH was SO annoyed that I allowed her to be in the wedding. She told me my pictures would be ruined and the girl should understand "she had no place any longer in the procession." I told her I would do what I wanted, TYVM, and she was staying in the wedding. Her escort took good care of her to make sure she was comfortable during the ceremony and, for most all the pictures, we simply placed a large floral arrangement in front of her cast and she put her weight on a stool placed behind her. The photographer was very accommodating and it looked beautiful! Shame on that lady (who, it turned out, didn't do any of the planning for her daughter (my MOH) because they were estranged by then...go figure).

@@lexsol6941 thats a really good question.... haha I feel like there is too much structure in a dress to have it inside out.... or there are tags.... or its super itchy.... my dress had some structure that in order for me to have it inside out things would be facing weird ways that it would be obvious. She probably just wanted something to be mad at so she decided to do that thinking no one would notice.

[@bettyveronica460]

Reminds me of when I lived in my first apartment. I did a load of laundry in the on-site laundry room. As I was folding my laundry (in my apartment), I noticed my brand new towels were missing. I wrote a snotty note to the effect of: "Thanks" so much for stealing MY new towels! I hope your guilty conscience doesn't ruin your enjoyment of using them. I went down to the laundry room, and posted my sign. As I was finishing folding my laundry...I found said towels...hiding inside of a fitted sheet that was in that load. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Needless to say, I removed my sign ASAP! 😂😂😂

"Who doesn't have alcohol at their wedding?" My husband and I were on a tight (3k) budget for our big day, so everything was done on the cheap. That included having both the ceremony and reception at a rented out pavilion in a state park. Thing about parks and Pennsylvania... Alcohol is not permitted whatsoever. So dry wedding it was. And we had a lovely time. Some people make the choice because funds. Others make it to prevent tempting recovering alcoholics in the family. There are many reasons

[@beckynunn4649]

Weddings can be fun without drinking.

[@iriswaldenburger2315]

I had a dry wedding. Until my dumbass photographer brought a bar in her trunk... and then proceeded to get drunk and my pictures sucked.

[@marinaholmes4549]

Ummm if you've got a family of alcoholics that fight when drunk, a dry wedding sounds perfect. My family drank the bar tab before the bride and groom got back from having their photos done.

[@inkedmomblu1510]

I’m a recovering alcoholic and IF I ever got married again (which I won’t) I would have a dry wedding. I wouldn’t want alcohol all around me and especially wouldn’t want the drunk ass people around me on such a special day. Everybody has their own reasons and no matter what people should respect it and simply enjoy the special day

[@Miss_Myth]

I genuinely never understood not wanting people with crutches (or with cancer who have lost their hair) in wedding photos. To me that would make those moments that much more special - look at how much this person cares for me, that they were willing to be there for me even after what they're going through. ALSO - just had a good friend get married whose best friend & maid of honor passed away a couple of weeks before the wedding - she would have rather had her there for the day, no matter what she looked like. Hell, even if they had to bring the whole dang hospital bed, she would have welcomed it gladly.

[@Devin3Anthologie]

Those were my thoughts too. I would look back on that day an smile because my real friends showed up. And having a perfect wedding or wedding photos doesn't always mean a good outcome. My photos would be more unique with a friend on crutches 😉

[@Ysmir.]

Those people don't care about friendship, they don't care whether the feelings of their guests are genuine. All they care about is creating picture perfect that they dreamt about from childhood, it's all about visual effect. Honestly half the time I'm not sure if those brides care about their husbands to be or whether the guys are just there to make the big childish dream possible

[@jeffreyclinard2002]

If my best friend was in a freaking iron lung and had to be pushed by a hospital orderly, I wouldn't mind. I don't care about the wedding photos. I don't even think I'd look at a wedding album very often. If the wife wanted photos from the wedding on the mantle, I want the guests as they are. If Margo has the wild magenta hair, I'm not asking her to dye it a natural shade for the event. If Fred was in an auto accident and has bandages and missing teeth, so what? They took time out of their lives to attend, and that's gift enough. If anybody wondered about how somebody would "look in the photos" I'd tell them we want them to look like themselves. And don't push me. Because if anybody did, I'd call over the wife to be and tell her Aunt Karen is concerned about how people will look in the wedding photos, and I'm starting to agree. So, do we want to hire a blond, brunette, or redhead to take the place of Aunt Karen for the wedding photos, or do we want to add a little diversity by hiring a person of color to stand in for her? Maybe Karen would be so offended she won't attend. Kind of a win-win on that.

[@kirakiraclover7050]

I can’t imagine how heartless those people are. One of my best friends uses a cane and will probably be getting a wheelchair soon, and it would be unthinkable not to include her in my wedding photos. She’s such an important part of both mine and my fiancé’s lives. The fact that these brides purposely exclude their sick or disabled friends for “aesthetic” reasons is absolutely abhorrent

[@BeautyKhaleesi]

People made my work friends man feel so uncomfortable because he had sweatpants and crutches from being in a bad motorcycle scrape. I didn't care one but and don't remember what anyone wore to my wedding. I was livid when I found out how he was shamed, especially since I've been thru 2 cycle accidents and totally understood how painful his skin was injured and tight clothes would have been torture for a few hours. Crazy how no one just asked them and people whispered. They left early because of it! I was so ashamed of the people who judged.

[@ituesday24]

I have heard of people inviting people to the ceremony and not the reception. One of my cousins did that! She attended a large church that her family has been a part of since before she was born. All of the church members wanted to be wedding guests (hundreds of people!) so she and her fiancé invited everyone to the ceremony, hosted at the church, had a greeting line where everyone could hug the newly married couple and take photos, and had basic sheet cake and punch available in the church hall. THEN, the bride and groom and close family and friends went to the real reception at a different location (catered meal, speeches, DJ, dancing, etc).

[@16poetisa]

Oh, I like the greeting line idea!

[@anonymous5593]

This is exactly what my sister did at her wedding. Everyone at the church was invited to the wedding, but due to budgeting concerns, only people who were close friends, family, or travelled from out of town were invited to the reception, (ended up being ~50-75 total people iirc) The cake was cut at the ceremony location, and a greeting line with the bride and groom allowed for all guests to congratulate them and get some cake, but the reception was a catered meal at a different location, and took place after bridal party photos were finished.

[@Katrina-mi2gm]

Same for both of my children - large congregation for the ceremony with greeting line with refreshments ( cake, fresh fruit, champagne and soft drinks ) afterwards and a smaller ( 65- 70) people reception with all the trimmings at the specially venue.

[@ashleywilczynski2921]

What you guys all did was very different. You are good people who may not have been able to afford to feed hundreds of people (who can?) You still provided cake, drinks, snacks, an opportunity to congratulate the couple. The girl in the story just wanted money/gifts. I guess that's the difference between a bride and a bridezilla!

[@MelissaJetzt]

My engagement ring came as a set with the wedding band for $80 (I picked it out from an Etsy seller). Literally no one who has asked me didn’t know it wasn’t a diamond. And if I were to ever lose it or something I could easily get a replacement. It’s a symbol. If the price tag is more important than what it means to you then you’re doing it wrong.

[@katybaby0220]

To be fair my husband and I had a dry wedding. His side of the family are judgmental religious and my side is German/Irish either heavy drinkers or recovering alcoholics. It was on a golf course so they could buy it themselves if they wanted it cheap but we were not gonna deal with all that mess. The religious folk were told anyone with alcohol bought it from the golf course and the recovering alcoholics still felt welcome and supported.

[@blazingapparition2687]

It's nice you were able to compromise with it! Especially in the presence of recovering alcoholics

[@jeffreyclinard2002]

I think there is difference from refusing to provide alcohol over objections to people drinking alcohol. I've been to weddings with a host bar and a cash bar. I don't question either choice; booze can get expensive.

[@parkerhatcher224]

So, my wife and I got married in 2019. We immediately had to move as our home was being sold (We found out AFTER we spent the money and planned the wedding. Our wedding was at our house. Our house was a rental in the country) cash was tight. She got a new job, and I had to earn new clients in our new town, I’m a musician and producer. I also do guitar tech work. We moved back to Winnipeg (For my business. Unaware of what was to come) Covid happened, and we waited to see how long the pandemic and restrictions would last. During all of this, I couldn’t work (Autoimmune illness. Not safe for me to have people coming in and out of my home for work before vaccines were available. Even now.) and she had to take some time off as well. Our savings flew out the window (Metaphorically). Two and a half years since our wedding, and we still haven’t had a honeymoon 😣. We didn’t ask anyone to pay for any part of our wedding (Although family gave us cards, etc. Which was nice. It helped in a small way. We’ll always be grateful for that). But we didn’t request anyone pay for our wedding, let alone. Our honeymoon. Fingers crossed we get to have one soon. We also bought our OWN. RINGS! My goodness. These people. I tell ya. Take care!

"Who doesn't have alcohol at their wedding??" ...Me, who had a lunchtime wedding about a month ago. In order to serve alcohol at all, we'd have to pay for extra insurance coverage and hire a certified bartender. The theme was essentially "hobbit teatime in the woods" so our special drinks were ginger beer and a selection of locally purchased teas.

[@sophievanderbilt1325]

I was a bartender at a beautiful country club when I was in college and I did mostly weddings and larger parties. Lemme tell you that open bars can turn even the nicest crowds into a trashy mess!! There will always be that one group, that one uncle, that one table of coworkers etc that gets SMASHED and ruins stuff. Breaking glasses, tripping over decor, getting in fights...not to mention trying their hardest to get the groom so drunk he can't even remember the $40k wedding he just paid for. Ugh. Anyone who has a dry wedding is doing themselves and their other guests a favor!

[@orbweaver9750]

The person concerned about their honeymoon should have done a Honeymoon Registry. When my husband and I got married we both agreed we didn't need a bunch of stuff, because we already have plates, cutlery, home goods, etc. So we planned out or honeymoon via travel agent, and then set up a Honeymoon Registry. People were able to pick and choose what, if anything, they wanted to pay for. It was as low as $24 for the two of us for an historical tour, to the cost of our plane tickets, to the cost of a night at our hotel, to the cost of a nice dinner or two, and an option where people could just contribute money if they were so inclined. We kept things fairly low-key as far as all of that went. We had a fairly small wedding too (less than 100 people) and it still covered at least half the cost of the honeymoon. And if someone did get us a gift independent of the registry, we still thanked them for it. You know, like decent human beings.

[@dhf161]

The Honeymoon Registry sounds like a great idea! It also sounds more fun for the people who want to take part in it compared to just buying home goods etc. They’d be able to see how much fun you had rather than if you used what they bought you at home.

As someone who was in a family that every party was drinking and involved drama the next day… I respect that my sister had a dry wedding….

They had no expectations, they just wanted to have a great time.

[@Miakel]

I'm proud of my wife, she is a perfectionist but on our wedding day she was so chill and let nothing bother her.

[@eiyiyi]

Is it remotely possible that she wasn't so chill when she was not around you? Did you spend every second with her before the wedding? Were you there when she was getting ready, getting her make-up done, and getting dressed? Also, was it a big or middle type fancy wedding? I'm NOT doubting you...really. But there is ALWAYS something that brides will get upset about and the majority of the time, it's when the groom is nowhere around because they're getting ready too... Some brides will be perfectly calm, or even show a happy chill vibe around their grooms because they don't want to seem petty. However, I TRULY believe that all women (including me when I got married) have something that does not go right and are bridezillas about it. Some of them are justified, but it's the one's who aren't that makes them COMPLETELY insane. My wedding was somewhat justified. It was my 15yo sister-in-law who WASN'T in the wedding. I mean seriously...we had three people in it on my side. My niece who was 5 and the flower girl, my nephew who was 4 ring bearer, and my sister was my MOH. When told she wasn't in it, she tried to make me kick out my niece as the flower girl. Then when that didn't work, she lied to her mother and told her that I had said she could be in the wedding that I had said she could pick out her own dress. Her mother went out and bought her a BRIGHT NEON GREEN bridesmaid dress. When my MIL tried to make sure she was in some of the wedding party photos, my hubby put his foot down and stated that he was not going to reward her for lying.

@@eiyiyi well, it was a smaller wedding, just under 100 guests, most of my wife's family live interstate and flew over for the wedding so we didn't have brides maids or anything like that, we had a wedding event organiser at the venue which helped so much with flower deliveries etc, I was not there for makeup etc but from the photos I saw afterwards she looked very happy there. There were a few minor hiccups on the day like the flower arrangement fell over and broke so she could not have her flower arch thing but she literally brushed it off as "oh well". Plus it rained heavily the days before so it was too muddy to do some of the photos she wanted but she just came up with other ideas without even batting a eye. To this day 5 years on she can't say a bad thing about the day. Oh and her parents are divorced and there may have been some tension between them but my wife brushed it off.

Correct, unless you receive an invitation that includes the details of the reception, you are NOT invited to the reception. I thought this was common knowledge. The wedding and the party are two different things. And no, you're not obligated to bring a gift, reception or not. A marriage is not quid pro quo! Hopefully you're invited only to weddings where you're close enough to the couple that you would WANT to give them something to mark the occasion.

[@ludobagman3882]

I’ve heard that only the opposite is okay. If you invite only some people to your wedding but everyone to your reception that’s ok from an etiquette standpoint. If you invite everyone to the wedding but only some people to the reception that’s rude, because then you’re just taking gifts from people and their time and not feeding them.

[@irairod5160]

@@ludobagman3882 True, etiquette varies from place to place. Where I'm from, one is not expected to bring a gift AT ALL. A guest is a guest, to be feted and entertained by the bride and groom as a token of thanks for traveling/making time/sharing the day with them, and not obligated to "pay back" in the form of a present. Newlyweds get gifts from the family and extremely close friends, no one else outside of that most intimate circle feels like they have to contribute to their settling into married life.

We contemplated whether or not to have a dry wedding, as there are recovering and active alcoholics on both sides. The decision became easier when the staff for the venue we went with (a lovely pavilion at Stanley Park) advised us that no alcohol was allowed in the park. We had our caterer, who was phenomenal in both product and service, make up several types of mocktails for people who still wanted to feel fancy. Everyone we've talked to in the two years since then have said they had a fantastic time. So it all worked out with no booze required (and no booze-related drama either).

They dropped me off and went on their honeymoon. Afterwards they had an "elopement" party to celebrate. LOL. Theyve been married over 25 years and have never been happier.

[@IndyMartiniVideos]

Regarding the day/evening guest thing: All weddings I’ve gone to in England (including both my sisters’ upcoming weddings) have addressed their invites stating ‘all-day’ guest or ‘evening’ guest. This has always been normal for me, so maybe it’s a British thing? For example: - anyone can go to the actual wedding/church even without an invite, particularly to stand outside and throw confetti (we live in a small village with a community so it’s normal for people to just pop in to weddings/funerals) - ‘all-day’ guests are expected at the ceremony, the afternoon (food + speeches) and the evening (reception/party) - ‘evening’ guests are obviously only invited to the reception, because there are always people you want to celebrate with but are not necessarily close enough to to qualify being there for speeches (and 3-courses is expensive!) TLDR; Categorising guests is normal in England to minimise costs, maximise the people you can celebrate with, and make sure the speeches/food section is just for family/god patents/close friends. Not to mention that way you can invite kids to the ceremony + afternoon, and have just adults at the reception.

[@JustMe-ym5rv]

It's the same in Italy! I've been reading various comments saying that in various European nations that's a standard thing, so I'm guessing it's only normal in Europe

[@hnichole]

For the one regarding the sister who shaved/dyed her hair, the only reason I could see the bridezilla getting upset is if her sister already knew that she didn't really like that kind of look. Out of respect for my sister, I would wait until after the wedding because that's kind of a bitchy move. However, if I was the bridezilla and my sister did it before the wedding anyway, I might be kind of annoyed about it, but I wouldn't throw her out of the wedding or make a big deal of it because she's still my sister, and it's more important that my sister is there in the first place than what she looks like.

[@sophievanderbilt1325]

Yeah with the way they texted back and forth, I kinda wonder if there is an underlying issue there. Like the bridesmaid sister is bitter about her sister's "perfect wedding" so she decided to do a crazy hair color and shave, knowing it would piss her off. That's just not what a sweet sister relationship is like. Or maybe the bridezilla put weird restrictions on everyone and the sister was retaliating. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also, what did she pay $1500 for? Unless she was referring to the bridesmaid dress, which is higher than your typical cost. Or maybe she helped with the wedding cost? IDK.

Weird to want people to see you get married, but not attend the party afterwards. Although it's a tad weird people equate alcohol with whether a reception was fun or not, you're not there to drink.

[@marthatassi293]

The church is a public building, so technically you cannot really bar someone from coming to the ceremony. There's no cost involved to have people come to the church and sit in the pew while you take your vows, but those people will be bringing/sending a gift so that's pure profit. The reception is another story. That's a private event at a private venue, so invitations are required for entrance. Those people will also bring/send a gift but that will be mitigated by the cost per plate.

[@christafranken9170]

It's not that strange in the Netherlands actually for churchweddings. When you get married in a church you are a member, often there is an announcement in the church saying when you get married. A few people might show up. Just don't raise expectations as if they are invited and don't expect a gift, just a card or something maybe.

[@madziaro]

so we actually did that - we had a ceremony in a city hall, and a small reception for our close family and friends (38 people in total), because of our small budget.

Yes, it is not uncommon at all to invite many, many people to the marriage but only a select few to the reception.

Guests are not expected to bring a gift whether they attend one or both events.

Hi there! I'm Italian, and here are some "normal" things at Italian weddings (disregarding the pandemic situation): - indicating in the invite the bank info to send the couple money, in case they don't have a registry and/or they need money to pay for their honeymoon - having the registry at a travel agent, see above - distinguishing between "invite" - which includes reception - and "participation" - which includes ceremony only - having two receptions: one with close family and friends, especially for elderly relatives, and one at night for all the friends and young relatives to dance the night out. Each reception has its own menu, including a different cake. - Giving out a small gift to each guest, alongside an odd number of sugared almonds called "confetti" - having two witnesses for the bride and two for the groom, who can wear whatever the heck they want.

Nothing wrong with having a dry wedding no matter what the reason for the dry wedding is. If I was inclined to get married (I'm not), the wedding would definitely be a dry wedding, not for religious reason or alcoholics in the family, I just don't drink or like being around drunk people. I would assume the people I'd invite to that hypothetical wedding also know this, and would be perfectly happy to celebrate without alcohol. If anyone was going to shame me for not having alcohol at my wedding, well, they don't belong at the party in the first place.

I had an experience similar to the couple that wasn’t invited to the reception. It was the wedding of a girl I became good friends with while studying abroad. I, along with another good friend of mine, received the invite to her wedding with the date, time and place and we were so thrilled to be a part of her big day because the three of us were really close and did everything together while studying abroad. There was no registry, which I thought was interesting, and bride mentioned at her bachelorette party that they weren’t going to do plates, but more of a buffet, so not getting a card for food wasn’t a surprise. So the day of the wedding came and I carpooled with my friend, brought the beautiful card I got the couple along with a good amount of money, we get to the venue, and to our complete shock, the wedding had already happened, they had already had dinner and now they were just dancing. We weren’t even invited to the reception… The two of us just sat there struggling to even smile as we were talking to others knew that had attended the wedding. The three of us spend almost all of our time together on the trip and we’re in constant communication after, and this is what we got in return. Well, thank God I didn’t see the gift table initially, because I took that card and money home with me. I was absolutely heartbroken and cried the moment I got home. I guess she didn’t really see us as her friends. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the icing on the cake! There was this girl that would constantly speak shit about me on our trip, I literally did and said nothing bad or negative about her, she just had it out for me, (she’s possessive and I think she didn’t like that I befriended her friend), and literally everyone on the trip knew it, but ignored it because they knew the type of person I really was. Well, that girl that spoke constant shit about me, was a BRIDESMAID at my friend’s wedding!!! 😊 Way to make me feel even shitter about not being invited to the wedding, you had the person who treated me horribly stand up there with you.

[@emilypeterson1133]

That last one is super true... I had a wedding with 6 bridesmaids, I gave them a color, length and fabric and told them to go find a dress that worked for them within their price range. (AKA go to David's Bridal and find a dress that fits that criteria.) I told them whatever silver necklaces/earrings they wanted was fine and to wear a silver shoe of their comfort level. Nobody was required to get hair/make up done but if they wanted it, I would book (and pay) for it to be done. You had to pay. for your own dress and everybody got their dress for under 100 except for one friend. One girl lost her job over the summer so I paid for her dress because I knew she needed her money to pay for rent and such. I didn't want her to go broke for my wedding. One of the girls who threw a fit because she had a problem with the color that I picked out. How DARE I pick purple and not green! She called me a bridezilla and screamed at me on the phone lecturing to me about being a demanding bitchy bride. I tried to explain that I was keeping a "wide net" so the dress that everybody got could be used again and so that they could wear a dress that made them feel like 1000000 bucks while having some uniformity for photos etc as our main color was eggplant purple. She screamed at me for being demanding calling me names and telling me how stressful it is for her to wear purple and it should be green I suggested for her to wear the green dress she wanted in purple (which it did come in) but she said no and accused me of being spoiled. I finally said "I'm the bride damnit and what color I say goes" and hung up the phone. That's the phrase that went around the wedding party and to this day, we have a laugh about it. Needless to say she and I didn't talk and was no longer attending the wedding . She finally spoke to me on the day after my wedding to brag about running a 6 minute mile. When I asked her if she realized what day it was she said "I never have and never will give a f--- about your wedding. That's what I didn't speak to you until today." That was the last time time we spoke. Another friend no longer spoke to me either because she was also upset about the color purple---that was HER color (abiet a different shade) and was very upset that I would "steal" a color from her. That friend offered to bring cake pops to my shower and then decided at the last minute "she was hungry," and ate them all. Luckily my mom ordered a set of her own "just in case." Yikes. Both of these girls are best friends now and hopefully living their best life.

I’ve attended a lot of weddings as a sound assistant/DJ. And have experienced some of the worst weddings. One of them was because of the mother in law. You see, we provide all the equipment such as speakers, microphones, etc. As well as live music. This woman (mother of the bride) kept insisting we play the most boring, slowest song I’ve ever heard and we kept putting it off because the music we played kept the vibe going and people on the dance floor. She then said that she wants the song to be played because she paid for the wedding, walked off in a huff and sat to the side sulking. As the reception got closer to the end, we offered to play the song for her, she huffed at us again and said in a ‘no care attitude’ “Fine, play it.” We left her, feeling quite angry with her attitude towards us (we were nice to her the whole time, kept explaining that the music we played was what the bride and groom asked of us). On another side note, at the same time people were becoming increasingly drunk, some sat next to me, trying to go on the laptop to find their songs, it got so bad that around 10 people were surrounding the sound desk, requesting their songs. One guy even grabbed the microphone out of our hands and started making a drunken speech. The mother of the groom tried to get him to put down the mike, he refused and continued. We then unplugged the microphone, asked the bride and groom to sort things out and they graciously did. We started to pack up (it was time for us to leave anyway), and the people booed us all the way. The thing is, the venue was closing up, they asked everyone to move to another location so that they can clean. The entitled mother of the bride still glared at us but at least the bride and groom was happy with our service 😁

[@fabienneclavier5984]

In France some people may not be invited to the whole reception/dance, but after the ceremony will be invited to the “ vin d’honneur” during which everybody is served drinks and appetizer foods. It’s usually colleagues from work, acquaintances (such as the parents’ friends, neighbors or other ) etc. That allows the newlyweds to share more than just the ceremony with more people, but not have to break the bank either as that represents a smaller venue to rent and less full meals to pay for. Family and good friends will be the ones staying for the meal and party. Everything is clearly written on the invitation so there are no issues. If you are not super intimate it makes sense.

[@RachelStormborn]

We had a "semi-dry" wedding reception. Alcohol was available for the guests to individually purchase if they wished. We served complimentary Champaign for the toast. We did this because neither of us wanted to feel responsible for getting people smashed with an unlimited alcohol reception then sending them onto the roads where they are a danger to themselves and everyone else on the road with them. If they wanted to get smashed...they could do it on their own and the consequences of driving drunk would be entirely on their shoulders. We also had a couple guests fighting alcoholism and the temptation of free unlimited alcohol was certainly not helpful for them and we cared about that because we cared about them. If people wouldn't come because they only wanted to be there for the free food and unlimited bar rather than to share that special day with us...so be it. We included the information that "a cash bar will be provided" in our reception information. We have no regrets for that decision.

@@beckynunn4649 TY. We got a LOT of grief from some family members when they found out that this was how we were going to do it. We stood firm. It was one day...everyone got over the "trauma" of not being able to gorge themselves on free unlimited alcohol and life went on, lol.

[@lananieves4595]

My sister didn't think she could count on me to dress well for her wedding, so she excluded me from the family table, and sat me at the "extras table," where people without a plus-one were being seated, trying to make it sound like she was doing me a big favor by saying, "you'll be right by the bar!" When I told her I found that insulting and that I'd be just fine skipping the wedding entirely. She didn't want the scandal of her own sister not showing up, so she offered move me to a table with my favorite relative - not the main family table, but also not the "extras" table. I agreed. And then I showed up to her wedding reception in shorts. It was epic. The look on her face when the next wedding we were both invited to rolled around and I showed up in a gorgeous tux was one for the books.

[@maryrinehart2346]

I had a sorority sister friend from college who asked me to be a bridesmaid after she had a fight with her sister and kicked her out of the wedding party. These two bickered a lot and I knew this was temporary “upgrade” for me & even joked about it with the bride’s mom when I stopped by to look at the bridesmaid dress (her sister was smaller than me so I never would’ve fit into it & alterations couldn’t be done). Our whole friend group, except for me, was invited to the wedding. None of us knew why I was singled out like this and Kathy never explained to anyone. I wasn’t invited to her bridal shower, as well, so she actually saved me a few bucks. I partied with our friends the night before at the hotel where several had gotten rooms for the weekend and skipped the ceremony and met up with them before the reception started so I saw my friends most of the weekend anyway. The bride was quite a PrimaDonna so capriciousness was pretty much a given but this nastiness was still unexpected. She and I had always gotten along before this and her mom, close friends and I all knew I wasn’t actually replacing her sister. I never saw or spoke to Kathy again. I did hear a few years later she was on marriage #2 & by now that could be #3 or more. Maybe she was embarrassed or thought I seriously thought that I was replacing her sister but that was never the case. I thought we were good friends but apparently I was mistaken.

[@unapologetica9121]

A bridezilla is a bridezilla to other fellow brides, as well. When I was getting my bridal makeup done in my reserved hours another bride came in and complained that hers should be done immediately. Needless to say, I said I was also a bride actually in her reserved makeup session which was at that moment. The entitlement of some people never ceases to shock me.

[@noona7932]

That first bride actually ended up being a really good sport about it. She realized she was wrong, apologized and has a healthy sense of humor about it. I wish her joy in her marriage.

I loved my wedding. I have a large family, we are 28 cousins and we are close to each others, every year we celebrate a Family Fest xD. And when someone of us get marry, we make a fun video to be play during the dinner at the wedding salon. I am a BSB fan since I was 14 years old, a hard fan xD. And for mine wedding, 5 of my cousins dress up as the band members and the rest perform as the fans. They recreated "I want it that way" at a local airport xD they even got kicked out bc they were not aloud to film there. But the video was hilarious. And they even write a song about my husband and me. It was so fun to watch that I keep smiling everytime a remember it and I got married at 2013, so its been a while.I don't remember what clothes they wore or what hairstyle they had, I just remember all the love and fun. For me, weddings should be like that.

[@Miranda92642]

I went to a friends parents wedding in high school with our whole friend group. We were told to keep our bags of clothes etc in the dining room, which was the same room as the gifts. We had all been going in and out to get changed into comfy clothes after the ceremony. Well a few days later my friends parents had opened all their gifts and decided that because some people didn’t include cash in their envelopes that somehow that meant that I had gone through all of them and stolen the cash?!?!?! His mom even sent me a long email accusing me of this and calling me quite a few rude names. (I was 14 and she was 50!!) Needless to say this ruined our friendships and I immediately dropped out of school and went down a dark spiral for over 10 years because of this. A few years ago (I’m 38 now) I actually got up the nerve to open up and let my ex friends mom know exactly how she had made me feel and all she had to say after my story was …. Oops! My bad! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@msnlitadventures9597]

My friend who herself was quite a bridezilla was just talking to me about weddings and I mentioned that it’s entertaining seeing bridezillas act like they are the queen of the world. And she said I was being harsh and that it’s a big day. I said that doesn’t mean the world revolves around them and she literally said “....it does though”. That’s her copied and pasted text. She said a bride deserves to have her dreams met. I couldn’t believe she was actually being serious. I felt like pulling out my hair.

[@Hannahtheseal]

I didn’t have alcohol at my wedding, but that was mostly because it was in our church and our religion doesn’t allow consumption of alcohol. Plus, a lot of alcohol is not gluten free and my mother in law has a severe gluten allergy, so it worked out.

Only one wedding that I've attended actually had a reception, and it did not have any alcohol being served. It was also the only one where they had a cake, and it was just a frosted cake still in the pan that it was baked in. There were no rehearsal dinners, or bridesmaids/groomsmen taking up space. When my brother got married, when we were living in Las Vegas, his employer got them a suite at one of the hotels, but both later said that while the view was magnificent, and the hotel was nice, they would rather have been at home playing UNO or Yahtzee with the rest of the family.

[@madhatty-fq1sh]

In the area where I live, its common to invite some people just to the reception/dinner. I think its becuase I live in a pretty rural area where everyone knows everyone and have large extended families and they either want to keep the actual ceremony more private or the church/place they are getting married doesn't have the capacity for all the people they want to invite (we have to pretty big churches too lol). Also people put invites in the local newspaper with specifically the time of just the dance part of the reception after dinner. It's just like a "hey, come to our wedding dance and have a fun time celebrating with us!"

I believe it was in a Miss Manners book that a young couple wanted the grandmother of one of them as their matron of honor.

Miss Manners not only gave her blessing to reassure the grandmother, but commended the couple on their values.

[@kasia2750]

7:15 Apparently it is. I once was invited to attend the wedding in another city (officially 4 hr train trip, in practice probably 6, knowing polish trains), but only for the church part, not reception. It was super embarasing for me, especially that I actually got invite with website, that included instruction about reception, so it didn't even cross my mind, that I'm not invited to it. I find out, when I picked my meal option and proceed to inform the bride. I shouldn't, but I felt so stupid, when she told me, that I misunderstood. The confusing invite was one thing, but who in their right mind would ask somebody to spend at least 8 hr in total in travel (and money on tickets, dress, some gift and probably night in hotel) for ceremony only. I can't wrap my mind around it, until this day. I get, that wedding are expensive and people need to keep quest list under control, but truly, it would be better (and will show more respect) for me to not be invited at all.

When it comes to wedding invites where you're splitting the guest list and only inviting some people to the reception, it's generally considered polite to include on the main invite "ceremony only" or have a ceremony invite and a reception invite and list it as such somewhere on the paper. And yeah, split guest lists are getting more and more common. Also, asking people to include a goft receipt for anything, even from a registry, is fine as long as it's polite as there may be duplicates or issues.

As a bride in 2019, I had a bridesmaidzilla... she was so picky about the dress style and only wanted to wear a dress that made her look really good. Not only did we finally agree on a dress, she didn't buy it and then couldn't even make it to the wedding... So I had to drop her. I only had two brides maids and neither could make it because of their work and how my dad wanted to make the day about him. Not only was my dad unreasonable throughout the process, my intermitted family changed out of their "formal attire" and into casual attire as soon as photos were over. I was mortified. I tried to stay positive through it all because I knew in the end I was going to have my real wedding in Hawaii and my true maid of honor. I did not post a single photo of either weddings on social media because I kinda hated how the first wedding photos turned out and the second one would have been too showy. So, there is a level of reasonable and unreasonable bridezilla. Through it all my husband's family felt bad for me because of all the shizz I had to put up with. Point is, it is your [bride's] day but it is also to celebrate two families coming together. Everyone else who gets upset needs to re-evaluate their consideration for the bride and groom that is going through a lot of stress. =]

I once owned a catering business that mostly catered weddings. I can say for sure that caterers do not get included in the cost per plate. They eat the food they prepare because caterers always have extra food. The bartenders (which can often be provided by the catering service) also eat the extra food. So no, there isn't an extra cost to feed the caterers. That cost is already included in the cost for the food to begin with.

I hate to say it, but the airplane wedding idea was brilliant. Pros: everybody had to be vaccinated or have a negative Covid test, it’s a fun idea and, as long as it didn’t get out of hand with drunken passengers, the crew probably had fun with it too, the beleaguered airlines filled a plane, and no laws or restrictions were violated.

You can see countless unmasked people standing cramped together in one end of the plane and the aisles completely blocking everything making it a complete hazard... The entire crew on the plane was fired for not stopping it. It was not "outside the box". They're just morons.

@@nonyabusiness936 very true, they were morons. They are being investigated because they 1) booked a chartered flight for the occasion 2) were denied permission to from the airline to charter for the wedding but did it anyway 3) didn’t follow Covid safety protocols like testing and masking and 4) the plane was too full of people with no social distancing (like middle seats empty). Very different from what most people were thinking in the comments. Abiding by normal airline procedures under Covid restrictions, on a normal flight (not chartered for the express purpose of avoiding Covid safety), not getting unruly and plastered (as I mentioned) and approved by the airline was what I said. Still say it sounds like fun. I recently declined an invitation to a wedding because I have a mom who is high risk and I don’t want to take any chances.
