Someone offered it to me and I was like....I don't know these people...

View Quoted Comment How do you show up an hour and 45 min late to your own wedding.. 😅

The majority I have attended were simple and fun. I can only recall one bad wedding and it got worse as it progressed.


My aunt got married when I was in high school. She had a very small guest list because most family was not supportive of her religion etc. Invitations were sent last minute with no time to respond..the same week as the wedding. The enclosed engagement photo was nice.But securing the venue had to be done well in advance to meet religious requirements. The night before, because it's a Mormon wedding there was no rehearsal, just a get together at their home with a few relatives and very light snack platters from the grocery store. Whatever you ate had to last till lunch the next day. Also mentioned that I was supposed to be a bridesmaid but was never informed prior. They put together their playlist the night before at 10pm-ish burnt onto a cd and brought stereo and speakers next day.
The morning of (crack of dawn) she and I and her parents getting ready at home. Everyone was accused of stepping on her dress when no one was in the room with it. Ceremony was early morning in the Temple with only bride, groom and 2 witnesses. Family waited in the lobby for 2 hours, followed by an hour of pictures. Fancy sitdown lunch at a local restaurant for family only.
Reception at church activity hall at 6:30pm. Family not helping set up at 6pm was left to fend for themselves until reception start time. Groom's family visiting from out of the country and didn't speak a word of English. I helped his mom and sisters make 1 fruit platter ( to feed 200 people at meal time) and a bowl of punch (there were refills for that). Cake reception so it was cut toward beginning and people mingled as best they could with language barriers. Cake was super dry and not tasty at all. Nothing else to eat except nuts. Bride's mother was nasty to everyone the entire weekend, which made bride an anxious wreck and she got upset anytime someone talked to the groom, but don't interact with her either (taking pictures included). The music was nice to listen to but not danceable and bride got upset that no one danced. I wonder why?
The only remotely enjoyable part was the bouquet and boutonniere tosses.
Birdseed in organza bags given as favors at the end but we were supposed to toss at the couple outside. So don't call it a favor. It is biodegradable but it hurts like a thousand knives when it hits you. Driving back to the couple's house after cleanup, one of the bank clocks downtown said it was midnight. No food of any kind after that till the first gas station heading home (home being 4 states away with my grandpa driving nonstop both directions).
Couple had a registry at the most expensive dept store at the time and lowest price item was $100. No thank you notes handed out at all to anyone. Heard through the grapevine later that even with getting 5 blenders, they kept mine because I was the closest family. Um thank you?
Most other weddings have wonderful in comparison.

I love this thread!
The worst wedding I've been to was for my fiancè's coworker, who I hadn't even met. I was dealing with an injury and one of my grandparents had either just died or was about to, so nothing would've been super fun for me at the time, but I'm still kind of annoyed about going. It was also the third or fourth wedding I had been to that month, so even though I had enjoyed the others, I was pretty much over it at that point. Anyway...
The wedding was on a Friday. The ceremony started at 2:30pm and the reception didn't start until 6. I get that having a Friday wedding can be cheaper, but don't do THAT to your guests.We got stuck in traffic and were actually late to the ceremony, but thankfully we were able to sneak in unnoticed, and the part we were there for was perfectly fine. Both venues were kind of in the middle of nowhere. After the ceremony, we drove about 25-30 minutes to a restaurant one of the other coworkers knew about, stayed there for a while, and drove another 20ish minutes to the reception. The venue was a country club, but for some reason, instead of parking there, we had to park in a lot on the other side of a very busy street. I don't remember exactly what happened when we first got there, but there was some weird thing where we couldn't check our coats, so we just held them until we could get into the actual reception room. During cocktail hour, there were stations but no passed apps, which wouldn't have been a problem, except that the entire space for the cocktail hour was basically a hallway with a bar in it, and there were over 200 people, so there was no space to walk around. There were also approximately three cocktail tables, so it was almost impossible to put anything down. So, we're all squished into this tiny hallway/bar, each trying to balance cheese, crackers, and a shrimp cocktail on a napkin in one hand and a drink (that we had to pay for!) in the other, with jackets draped over our arms, when they finally made the announcement telling us take our seats in the reception hall. They made the announcement that the bridal party was about to enter several times, but then they would lose track of someone or realize they were missing someone or something, and we ended up waiting 45 minutes before the bridal party and couple were introduced. The meal was several courses of things that seemed like they were trying to be fancy but didn't really know how. The couple did come around to the table and the groom was pleasant and friendly, but the bride just looked at us. She didn't even say anything when I tried to compliment her dress.
Sorry, that was ranty. Basicallyon't make your guests take a day off from work to attend a wedding where they have hours of down time. Especially if you have to inconvenience people, you should pay for their drinks (a limited selection is fine). Instead of having a Friday wedding with a cash bar to save money, just cut your guest list (it's okay not to invite your entire department from work).Speak to all of your guests!

The creepy photographer had me laughing out loud, but getting a wonderful picture out of it is an awesome silver lining!

This was a bizarre journey. I've been invited to a few Mormon weddings but haven't been able to make any, but most of them were very informal, invite-everyone, cupcake and punch kind of events. Also throwing the birdseed...oof

I have to say, I completely agree with "just invite fewer people." I get wanting to celebrate with lots of people, but I don't need to be at every coworker's or college friend's wedding. It seems nice to just have a really great event with people you are closer to than have a disastrous event with dozens of people you might not even be in contact with in 10 years.

View Quoted Comment I have been to many lovely cake and punch receptions..it's the only kind of reception my family does.. But the couple is usually happy to be with their guests and don't draw out the event all day without proper hosting for everyone, and they are held at non-meal times.

Went to a wedding with my boyfriend and his family in Phoenix... in August... at noon. Although the wedding & reception were inside, we were all drenched in sweat just by walking from the hotel to the car, then car to church. My boyfriend’s parents also couldn’t figure out directions (20+ years ago so before navigating cars or phones) so we ran late and missed the ceremony. The AC hardly seemed to work in the reception. Miserable wedding.

Oh boy. Where I'm from, people just don't have January weddings because it is likely to be painfully cold. It seems like the flip side of that exists in AZ. That sounds so terrible!

View Quoted Comment AZ & NV (Vegas part) are horribly hot in summer! Over 100 degrees of stifling heat. Who would have a summer day time wedding there?! 🤦‍♀️ 🥵


If guests are too hot or too cold, that’s the only thing they’ll remember about that wedding.
