Wedding Pet Peeves

View Quoted Comment

Ugh yes! also most of the money is going to the reception FOR THE GUESTS! They all complain about how obscene our budget is, i want to be like, okay you guys should definitely not come and have prime rib, enjoy a DJ, and have an open bar and cake. Since it offends you. LOL

I think my biggest pet peeve is people acting like the wedding is entertainment for them. I can't tell you how many people i've heard saying don't put something on a wedding website-i don't care how you met. Or cut the first dance because i'll just be bored if it's three minutes long. Or I hate when people put notes to the guests in the programs, no one cares. I feel like that is so selfish!

Mine is when someone is snooping around judging EVERYTHING with their nose up like their too good to be there.

Planning a wedding my pet peeve is "You have to invite blah blah because blah blah will come and blah blah would like to be invited" I am like first off, I don't even know blah blah and if I do I haven't seen them in 20 years.

When people stick phones and iPads in the aisle as the bride is walking!! It seriously makes me cringe thinking of how their wedding pictures are going to turn out!

Mine is when you invite yourself/others or assume you're invited or constantly bring it up to show interest in going etc.!

I have a few (diva, I know). I hate when tags or stickers are still on decor (like vases that were purchased, etc.). I hate when the microphone or speakers don't work, it just seems like the DJ and officiant should be more prepared I guess? And if it's a heavy appetizer wedding, I hate when that isn't stated and you expect a full meal.

Outdoor weddings when it's way too hot or way too cold

View Quoted Comment My fiancé would agree with you! He said his (mostly older) coworkers all complain about their wives and being married and told him to run while he can. He was like, wow, you guys should have married women you actually liked!

Reception to immediately follow. I feel like a hostage. Give me a couple hours to go do my thing, then come back.

People who dont watch their children.

Gross wine. If you're going to offer free wine and beer, make it a kind people actually want to drink. I'd rather spend money at a cash bar instead of drinking a dry wine.

I hate bouquet and garter tosses.

Guests trying to get a blurry pic on their smartphone.

I hate gaps. I just don't understand them. I mean I do and I don't. I get that they're for photos and setting up but if there's no cocktail hour in between and the people live far then that's likely why alot of people would only attend a reception than a ceremony.

View Quoted Comment It’s so awkward!

Definitely people asking if they are invited to the wedding. Especially customers from work (I’m a bartender) ughhhhh, so rude and awkward! Also, the whole crappy attitude some people have toward marriage that they try so hard to project onto you. I’m sorry your marriage didn’t work out, but that doesn’t mean my won’t.

View Quoted Comment THIS! Trust me aunt Marge but the photographer's shot will be much better than the one on your 2003 flip phone.

Oh my goodness.... I think my wedding is why my mother finally decided to upgrade to a smartphone. I'm glad it happened after the wedding...

The whole "first look" trend. I hate it. Luckily i've never been to a wedding that had that. To each there own, but I hate it

View Quoted Comment 👏👏👏
Yes. I am not a fan either.

View Quoted Comment How does a first look affect the guest? Of course you're opinion is valid, there are tons of people who dont like first looks for THEMSELVES but I dont get the statement "Luckily I've never been to a wedding that had that." I dont know how you'd know if they had a first look or not as a guest...

Because it takes away the moment of everyone seeing the bride and groom see each other for the first time. You don't have to like my opinion, that's fine, she asked for wedding pet peeves and I shared one. Am I the only one you're attacking today? Not all guests know that, but I do because of the weddings i've been to.

View Quoted Comment Goodness. I wasnt attacking I was just asking for clarification. Sorry wont do it again.....

Wow.

View Quoted Comment So true! We told all our guests “unplugged ceremony & cocktail hour.” After that, paparazzis could prevail. Forgot to tell one guest... ceremony was fine, most of our welcome entrance speech ruined cuz she stood in front of us with her IPAD in our faces. Of course, none of hers came out anyway.
