The RUDEST Officiant | TikTok REACTION

[@pandaloranne]

To be honest, I found that the officiant wasn't rude. He just seems to have a dry humor and lacked the nuance in his voice that would let people know that he was kidding. I noticed it too when he talked about the guests missing the opportunity to use the bathroom. 😛 He's being funny! I have a friend that tells me jokes all the time with a straight face, so this might be this man's personality as well.

[@kristinaerickson2353]

I honestly liked it a lot haha. But, I do have dry humor.

[@iakopatton]

I thought it was funny tbh. I’m with you

[@marlena.]

Yeah my kind of humor

[@ValthatBish]

depending on the joke they probably aren't your friends

[@shiko1690]

I audibly laughed at the bathroom joke and missed that this was supposed to be a “bad example” until Jamie’s reaction. It came off as dead pan humor with a mix of teasing. Not offensive at all but I get not everybody’s cup of tea…

[@katevontz9900]

Team plugged! I originally thought I wanted an unplugged ceremony but then I thought about how I wouldn’t have pictures immediately the next day. I am so glad I did bc my photographer missed the first kiss shot!!! And thankfully my cousin is a photographer himself and brought his camera and actually captured it. It was a little from the side but better than nothing!!

[@laurenhitchings4046]

Big fan of the social media minute. Everyone gets a few pictures to have or post, and then the photographer gets the rest of it.

[@kaylaballinger495]

During my wedding in November this year, I asked my officiant to tell people not to take pictures, but instead, he said pictures were fine just make sure the ringers are off. So during the whole ceremony I was hearing shutters go off every time one of the elderly guests took a photo. And in the photos of me walking down the aisle with my rarely emotional father, I'm being photobombed by six iphones and no one with a phone is paying attention to me, they're all taking pictures of the ceremony site. I consoled myself by thinking at least there will be more pictures, but no one has shared any yet.

[@madeline2282]

That's my thing with a plugged ceremony. Just because people take photos doesn't necessarily mean those photos get back to you; in my experience with other life events you kinda have to hunt people down in order to get them sent to you, and typically they sent them en mass over text so the phone/email compresses the image (ruining the quality) unless you know how to go in and adjust the settings Like it's a surprising amount of effort on the guests end to get those photos to you

[@bropoke6799]

Im a big fan of unplugged weddings. I get the reasons people want to take photos, but id rather they pay attention. To me the entire point of a wedding is to celebrate the joining of 2 ppl and the promises they make to eachother. When ppl are focused on photos, they arent paying attention to the couple and the moment they were requested to be a part of

[@jocelynsmyth6604]

I like them too - I was at a wedding and the grooms' dads' phone rang during the ceremony 🤨

[@belindamc471]

I still like the video of the Village Crier in a cloak threatening time in the stocks if people have their phones out! 😂

[@belindamc471]

Unplugged ceremony & candid (phones welcome) reception! 🎉

[@allisonglad3275]

The only thing worse than seeing someone's phone being held up for a photo is someone's phone RINGING during a ceremony! Please, please, please make an announcement to silence phones at the very least. I am always FLOORED at how many important events I go to, be it weddings, graduations, plays, etc., where someone's phone goes off. Rude, rude, rude!!!!

[@petrichor499]

Food will be withheld from anyone who refuses to put down their device is what I would say😂 watch how people love food.

[@nayl.900]

I honestly don't mind a plugged wedding at all. I am actually really excited to see everybody's pictures. I just don't want people going crazy. Like, don't block the photographer😅

[@finallykat1299]

The problem tends to be that every picture has at least someone in it that is holding up their phone, so it can involve a lot of extra edits for the photographer to get those "perfect" shots for the album.

[@miachen7543]

Team I don’t care just be respectful! I have too much on my plate to be even worried about phones hahah

[@jennataylor7170]

Everybody at my “wedding” was the 2%. I say “wedding” bc really it was a court wedding with a nice dinner and the next day we took wedding pictures at a botanic garden where actually 4 other wedding groups had the same idea lol. Our group of 15 ppl came there KNOWING our only goal was to go to 1 location as a group to take pictures and then they were free to walk around the rest of the time to look at the flowers while we took individual photos of us. Tell me why……they were taking off their shoes and pulling out their phones to take pictures of us as we’re at this point yelling at them all to get in the picture so the actual photographer can take the pictures of us all as intended. The only full group photo we had of us all everyone is smiling except for me bc I had to be a people wrangler for a good 30 minutes as my cousin is whispering in my ear over and over “this is the only day you have to do this”

[@andreabowersox6318]

I didn't think any of them were rude, just different types of humor. On a side note, I remember when it was a trend to have disposable cameras on every table at the reception so the couple could have pictures from the guests' point of view. I don't know if that was just in my area or a thing in other places also?

[@jocelynsmyth6604]

They were 100% a thing here too!

[@madeline2282]

I think this trend is becoming popular again (it also always makes me think of the Friends episode lol)

[@vamieses]

I was at a wedding a couple weeks ago and as the officiant said “you may now kiss the bride” someone’s LOUD ringtone went off 🫠

[@brijanmay9272]

I have a thing for pictures of people taking pictures (keep saying I need to make a scrapbook of them) so I love that my photographer got some of guests taking photos. I didn’t think of any of this before watching the video but what would have been cute for me is if we had everyone take their phone out before or after the ceremony and the photographer got a pic of that (especially if you could see us in some of the peoples phones, I really like that). I can understand wanting to go unplugged though.

[@ValthatBish]

I want to get married again so i can have the lady in the red dress at my wedding

[@nleem3361]

This is good to know. Somewhere I'd heard that photographers didn't get pics back to the couple for ever, so it was good to take a few pic for them that they could have right away. I like the idea of getting that Pic moment and then asking people to send pics right away and then to put the phone away. It's just good to be clear of what's needed ahead of time because there's a lot of conflicting opinions.

[@nicoles2159]

I've definitely seen the big ass iPad out during a wedding 😅 Luckily it seems that most people in my generation (millennial/gen z-ish) get the memo and assume all weddings are unplugged anyway.

[@abs4103]

Big fan of unplugged weddings. No matter what though, my phone stays off and in my bag. I showed up to watch someone get married, not to film it. My cousin however, is seen with her phone out in all of my sister’s ceremony pictures

[@katieakin1091]

My cousin got married back in November and him and his (now) wife had an unplugged ceremony. I think we all assumed the reception was unplugged too because I don't think very many people took pictures during the reception (it was also REALLY small, and a lot of people left after food). But they had it on the invitation and somebody standing outside the room to announce it. The only one who took pictures (that I saw) was my cousin's brother-in-law, but he only took them when my cousin and her daughters walked down the aisle. After that, he put it away.

[@soapiesoap5649]

Sign or no sign I would never ever take pictures at a wedding unless the couple specifically asks it’s so beyond rude!!!

[@scrapbookwithceline]

Some people stick their phones out in front of the photographer when they're trying to capture a shot, it's crazy lol

[@madeline2282]

I think it's rude too. I'm surprised how many people do it

[@Pixielocks]

Woahhh I actually really disagree with you on some of these 😭 the “I can chuck your phone in a bush” guy I thought was hilarious and clearly joking (I actually was more bothered by his “if you need to go to the bathroom, too bad” line, like don’t make me feel trapped 😭) and the “you heathens have no impulse control” woman would have really pissed me off. Her whole shpeel was so condescending and talking down to the audience, even during the 30 second “social media minute” thing. I’m only halfway thru the vid so going to keep watching 🥰 Love ur stuff and that u open up these conversations!!

[@musicaficta564]

The officiant in red would have more than likely not used the word “heathens” if it wasn’t the vibe of the couple. It was outdoor, the brides dress was very fanciful. I would wager it wasn’t a traditional Christian wedding so I think she was fine.

[@indigoneutral]

Team unplugged with media minute, at least for the ceremony. We'll most likely be doing this, with a private first look to mitigate any potential problems. Honestly, we feel a lot of weddings have become social media events and performances. We are both deeply uncomfortable with this, because our day is supposed to be about building a solid foundation between two families. It's a celebration, and we want it to feel real, not staged, for the sake of tradition or social media. Most of our relationship has been behind the curtain, so to speak. This is gonna be one of the first times we fully take it public, and we both take it very seriously, since we are so private. We really want people to be present with us, especially since we are fully drafting our entire ceremony to be personalized to our journey. I know that this doesn't necessarily matter to other people, but it matters to us and our families. I want to be able to take it easy on my wedding day and slow things down, to be in the moment. I don't know if we'll even have a photographer for our reception portion, because we've talked about doing disposable cameras for candid shots. I feel like doing a mostly unplugged ceremony is just the obvious choice. That phone is two seconds away from doomscrolling TikTok, and it just feels disrespectful during an event that takes so much planning.

[@jocelynsmyth6604]

My partner and I also arnt social media people (I like KZbin, he enjoys some tiktok, that's about it) We just want a nice day with a the people we love, and I don't want phones out and noise for the ceremony, especially because my aunt is hearing impaired, and I'm losing my hearing a bit.

[@transparentsunflower8295]

For now im unplugged because i would want everyone to be present.

[@PeanutPeaLentil]

Does Jamie pronounce officiant incorrectly or do I? 🤔 How many syllables are there in the word officiant?

[@vamieses]

HAHAHA I thought the same thing… like now I’m embarrassed for past me 😂

[@sXe_Wolverine]

That guy at 5 min or so was funny

[@theneighbourhoodraccoon1681]

Ayyy, 3rd comment! Have never been so early here! Hi, Jamie! 🥰

[@mollymo6229]

For me the unplugged wedding ceremony will be useful not because of the photographer but because the UNINVITED people and curious distant friends and relatives will want to see and I don’t want to give them any topics of discussion about who my husband will be what my dress is what they don’t like and look odd in their private WhatsApp group chat!

[@lauriemane]

My unpopular opinion is that I hate unplugged weddings 😭 I have fun by taking photos! Most of the time the couple doesn't/can't post the photos online for the guests to see. I obviously take unplugged weddings seriously but it takes a lot of restraint for me personally!

[@ValthatBish]

that third one just isnt a funny guy in life.. you can tell
