37 Weddings From 2023 That I'm Sorry To Say Were Wildly Tacky

Guns do not belong at weddings!!!!

3. This couple wanted to put tombstones of their dead relatives in their Halloween-themed wedding.

If you can't read the above, it says: 

"We are planning a Hallowedding this year in October and are looking for ways to memorialized loved ones who have passed. Our decorator has put together a faux cemetery, and we thought doing custom headstones for our loved ones would be a wonderful idea! We are a bit torn, though, on if we want to include dates or just their names. We thought it would be nice to put their wedding anniversary on the stone and also include a framed photo of them on their wedding day next to it. Or perhaps we do their birth-death year. Our concern is trying to fit too much information as the headstones are only 18 x 24 inches. Also, there is one grandparent who is still alive, and his wife has recently passed earlier this year. Our concern is possibly triggering him seeing his wife's name memorized this way. What do you think?"

4. This couple planned to have a contest at their wedding, and feed the losers less.

5. And this couple made people BID for dinner.

"Not just a gift and a dollar dance, but also bidding for dinner.

I attended a wedding of a coworker with a few other people from work. I knew the wedding was going to be interesting based on the sheer amount of stuff on their wedding registry (season tickets to a local sports team, expensive Halloween and Christmas decorations, expensive camera, three Yeti coolers, home office furniture…)

At the reception instead of calling tables up by table number, guests had to bid to eat. Basically we were asked to pool cash or use venmo (with convenient QR codes on the table cards). The table with the most cash would get to the buffet first. Then bidding would start over again. To make it worse, after the first round yielded a top bid of $200, the DJ actually asked everyone to “do better.”

It was taking forever and in such poor taste that someone at our table offered to run to a nearby fast food place and forgo dinner altogether.

ETA: the bidding starting over each time means they didn’t award first, second, third place in line based on total amount. It means after the first table won, there was a chance for the other tables to rebid. I think the assessed the total each round.

Also, I will admit I’m a bit judgey about the registry. They just seemed so greedy. The $100 glass witches hat figurines and multiple Yeti coolers just felt like they were trying to get as much as they could, regardless of what they actually need/would use. This is the same couple that has a GoFundMe for every financial hiccup in their lives."

6. This couple thought charcuterie and ice cream were enough to feed guests.

7. This couple didn't even provide dinner at all.

"Don't invite guests if you can't give them dinner.

I was blown away this summer when we went to a cousin's wedding and they didn't offer dinner for some of the guests. Some of the family went to the ceremony, then we had to wait until dinner was over (five hours of doing nothing in the middle of nowhere) before being invited back to the dancing in the evening.

Edit: We were told after the ceremony to come back around 7pm for dancing and drinks. We came back at 7pm and they were still eating and doing speeches. So we stood at the entrance for another hour while they finished eating and speaking.

I should also mention that they said this was a 'No Kids' wedding, so we had to arrange for a babysitter. We then arrived at the ceremony and sure enough there were kids on the bride's side attending."

8. This bride didn't seem to care about the groom at all.

23. The bride or groom that posted this is just SO tacky. It's not all about the gifts!

u/swindaloojajaja / Via reddit.com

24. I can't decide what's tackier, this idea or the kind of guests that made the bride/groom think the idea was necessary.

u/IndividualCoyote8427 / Via reddit.com

25. Is it just me who thinks posting a public wedding registry for strangers not even invited to the wedding is entitled and tacky?

u/oscarwildeflower / Via reddit.com

u/camlaw63 / Via reddit.com

29. Listen, I like hot dogs as much as the next person, but I am in shock that anyone thought a hot dog wedding cake was a good idea.

u/Able_Health744 / Via reddit.com

u/Excellent_Win4546 / Via reddit.com

31. I get that it's annoying to accommodate food restrictions, but giving a vegan wedding guest this "pizza" instead of an actual vegan meal is tacky to me.

u/mcdripy / Via reddit.com

32. Totally fine to smoke weed, but does it really need to be a centerpiece for your wedding?

u/ConcernedIslander / Via reddit.com

33. Like, there's a time and a place.

"Okay, so I need help. 

I'm way in the beginning of my wedding planning. We're probably going to have a very small wedding. So our date is 20:04:2024 and I really want aspects of a 420 wedding, but my side of the family is very religious and I'm worried if I do that my mom won't come. So I'm thinking of having a 420 room (tent or whatever) at the venue for our 420 crown and maybe put a couple fresh leaves in my center pieces and bouquet.

My other thought is having a fairytale style wedding, but I don't have many ideas for that.

My last thought is like a 'country' style wedding. I'm looking at quite a rustic venue and I think it could work really well with country love songs and I can wear white cowboy boots for the reception.

Is it weird if I merge all three themes like too much going on?

Please, I'm open to all opinions. I just want to see what others think."

34. Same with tobacco.

35. This is unbelievable tacky.

"Guests asked to bus the tables at wedding reception.

My husband was recently at the wedding of some of his old friends from high school. Sadly, I was unable to attend, so this story is from him.

The wedding was a big one, with about 200 people or more. For the reception, he was seated at a table of about 10 similarly-aged men (mid twenties), who were all friends of the groom. The dinner was a buffet line, and when he went up to get his food, he noticed that the mother and grandmother of the bride were serving it. A little weird, he thought, but not a huge deal. He got his food and returned to his table.

When dinner was starting to wrap up, the groom’s mom approached his table and greeted the men. She then asked if they could please bus all the guest’s tables, and take the dishes/glasses/trash to the venue’s kitchen. They were all a bit shocked, but agreed and started running around the room clearing tables.

Then, after the tables were all cleared, the groom’s mother said, 'Oh sorry, I forgot to mention! Could you actually dump out all the cups, scrape the bowls and plates and load the dishwashers please?'

At this point my husband was pretty annoyed, but didn’t feel that he could deny the request. So the 10 guys spent about an hour or so doing the dishes, before being released to the rest of the (dry) reception."

36. This bride expected everyone to wear Converse, which is already a lil' tacky IMO, but the real tacky part here is requiring a bridesmaid to wear them even with medical issues with her feet.

37. And finally, am I the only one who thinks smashing your wife's face into the cake is tacky? Either way, it's DEFINITELY tacky to have people essentially bid on whether it'll be the bride or groom.
