40+ Wedding Fail Moments That Made Us Say, “I Don’t.”
Think again if you think weddings are just about getting dressed up and having a good time with your friends. For some people, this may be true, but not for everyone. The wedding industry was transformed as a result of this pandemic. Unfortunately, when it came to weddings, people went completely insane. We’ve compiled a list of the funniest and most embarrassing wedding moments that would have you saying, “I don’t.” Scroll down to see more…
Wedding Gift Extravaganza
Weddings are supposed to be about you and your best friend tying the knot in front of all your loved ones. However, for some people, it’s all about getting expensive gifts. This bride-to-be demanded over $250 in gifts.
Wedding Gift Extravaganza
Bridezilla claimed that it was their loss when one of the guests flinched and declined the invitation, claiming that many people would be attending her wedding.
Free Photography
You won’t believe how petty some people are until you join one of these online wedding planning groups. Here’s a couple who needed a wedding photographer to document their special day. So far, it all seems pretty normal, right?
Free Photography
That is until you read the requirements, which state that the photographer must have at least eight years of experience in the field — and must be willing to work for free. Aren’t these requirements more appropriate for interns who are just getting started? Even if they don’t have much experience, they’ll gladly do the work for free or at a reduced rate.
The Cousin
Have you ever considered attending your ex’s wedding? Unless you’re Rachel from Friends, and you’ve just flown halfway around the world because you still have feelings for your former lover, no one can really force you to be there. While Keli and her ex were still together, the cousin had an affair with her in this scenario. Keli’s cousin and ex-fiancé are getting married now.
The Cousin
As if this wasn’t bad enough, Keli’s aunt keeps trying to persuade her niece to attend the wedding, claiming that “family is all we have.” Hmm, maybe Keli’s cousin should have considered that before going behind her back.
My Ex-Boyfriend’s Wife
We have a story that is somewhat similar to this one. This lady introduced her boyfriend to her former best friend while dating him. Her ex began dating her best friend after they split up, and the two eventually planned a wedding.
My Ex Boyfriend’s Wife
In a way, it was tragic that the couple had given each other credit when they were dating. We have nothing else to say except that we are appalled by the situation.
The Uninvited Proposal
Isn’t it true that wedding proposals should be super romantic and full of surprises? But, unfortunately, this individual decided to go too far. We really mean it when we say “too far.” He chose to propose to his then-girlfriend at her sister’s wedding, even though he wasn’t invited!
The Uninvited Proposal
Not only that, but he went right to the dance floor and proposed. And we can’t help but wonder what happened after that. Is it true that this woman said yes? Was she blushing from embarrassment? What went wrong?
The Dress Alike Guest
Many things are difficult for humans to comprehend. Even with an open mind, some aspects of life may find difficult to comprehend. Consider wearing a wedding gown to a wedding that isn’t your own.
The Dress Alike Guest
Consider how the bride might feel at her own wedding. Is this some sort of ‘Who Wore it Better’ contest? We don’t know about you, but we’d be a little uneasy if a guest showed up at our wedding dressed in a white gown.
RSVP for the Whole Bloodline
When people send out wedding RSVPs, they often include a ‘plus one’ option for guests, especially if they are close to the bride and groom. However, there’s a distinction to be made between ‘plus one’ and ‘plus a whole tribe.’ It doesn’t have the same ring to it at all.
RSVP For The Whole Bloodline
When this couple sent an RSVP to one of their guests, they received an unexpected response: they’d like to reserve a table for 21 people. How greedy and disrespectful can a person be?
The Cat Lover
When it comes to planning a wedding, the goal is to create the most magical occasion possible. Unfortunately, weddings can take weeks and cost thousands of dollars. This couple did the same thing, but they disagreed with the photographer, so they decided not to pay him for his work.
The Cat Lover
As a result, the photographer decided to substitute cat faces for their faces. In fact, every single one of the guests was retouched to look like this. While the couple is probably annoyed by this, we can’t help but find the whole thing hilarious. Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, me
Crazy Maid of Honor
The bride may find it difficult to choose just one maid of honor. Most of the time, best friends or sisters are chosen as maids of honor because the bride has complete trust in them.
Crazy Maid Of Honor
This bride did the same thing, appointing this friend as maid of honor because she had complete faith in her. Unfortunately, the so-called maid of honor ruined the wedding by becoming completely inebriated, attacking people, and breaking numerous laws. We can only assume the bride and groom did not contact this lady again.
The Centerpiece
Pinterest is an excellent resource for wedding planning ideas and inspiration. People are coming up with some of the most unique and creative ways to decorate for their big day these days. This couple went the extra mile by opting for fish-bowl centerpieces with live fish inside.
The Centerpiece
Unfortunately, this turned out to be a disaster. First, the fish gasped for air until they couldn’t any longer. And now we’re heartbroken. While we appreciate the thought that went into these centerpieces, we believe the couple should have gone with something a little more simple — and non-living.
The Pandemic Prone Lovebirds
We all recall how, when the pandemic first broke out, the entire world came to a halt. Many people were stranded far from home, while others were laid off or had to cancel their wedding plans. Even so, some people did protest — or at least attempted to protest — the lockdowns.
The Pandemic Prone Lovebirds
This particular couple contacted their guests to ask them to prepare for a possible brawl, just in case officials tried to call off the wedding. While that is a great idea, groom-to-be, you and your “lovely lady” might want to wait until the lockdown is lifted.
Free Photographer
Some people are fantastic at being efficient while also saving money. These people can inform you of all the best bargains and offer advice on how to save money. Then some are always looking for ways to save money. For example, consider this blogger, who created a page on a party planning website to offer advice on throwing a free wedding.
Free Photographer
To save money on a wedding photographer, this frugal bride proposed hiring friends or amateur photographers for free in exchange for the photos being used to promote their own business.
To Come or Not To
We understand that weddings can be extremely stressful. We’ve all seen people lose their cool at some point — it’s nothing new. Similarly, this person sent out emails in the middle of the night to all of their friends and family to inform them that they would not be attending their own wedding.
To Come Or Not To
We can only speculate about what had happened between the bride and groom to cause the wedding to be canceled two weeks prior. Later, the offending bride or groom sent another email to apologize and retract what they had sent the night before in their sleepy stupor.
Drink Tickets
When all is said and done, weddings can be quite costly. So when two people finally decide to marry and start planning their big day, they must make a lot of financial calculations. This college student dealt with her own stress when she realized that the drinks for the wedding reception would be prohibitively expensive.
Drink Tickets
So she devised a plan: give the guests drink vouchers for the coffee truck that would be stationed at the front desk. While this isn’t a bad idea, the bride is concerned that the vouchers will come across as tacky. Unfortunately, when it comes to weddings, there’s a lot to consider!
Over Humiliation
People try to think of funny ways to document their wedding day, and we can thank Pinterest for a lot of the ideas. This couple was no exception; they wanted to capture a few amusing moments on film and devised the best strategy for doing so. Two banners served as props for this group photo. “Got married on a Friday because […] Saturdays are for the boys!” said one of them.
Over Humiliation
This photo, unsurprisingly, went viral on several social media platforms. While the photo is amusing, people like Brooke would rather die alone than have this kind of thing happen at her wedding. We must admit that there is a part of us that concurs with her.
The Hay Urinal
Weddings, as we’ve mentioned a few times, can be quite costly. So, to save money, people try to avoid unnecessary expenses on their wedding day. However, when it comes to finding the best deals, this couple is changing the game.
The Hay Urinal
For example, instead of having a toilet at the venue, they decided to build a hay urinal. They advertised for the cheapest hay to make the urinal for their wedding venue on the internet. They deserve it!
Who Gets the Bouquet Home?
When it comes time to catch the bouquet that the bride tosses over her shoulder during the reception, single women get very excited. After all, it’s a fun game or challenge! As a result, this couple chose to do something out of the ordinary for their wedding. They were looking for inspiration and ideas online when someone suggested getting white roses to symbolize purity.
Who Gets The Bouquet Home?
The concept so enthralled the bride-to-be that she couldn’t help but inquire about ideas for single men. We have to admit, it’s different, but we’re not sure how solid an idea is.
The Most Classless Apology
It’s not uncommon for the bride and groom to send out “save the date” cards and wedding invitations to their loved ones well in advance of their wedding day. However, seeing or receiving an apology or “sorry” card is unusual. You’re probably perplexed as to what a “sorry” card is…
The Most Classless Apology
These cards are basically for those who were not invited to the wedding. In this case, the card includes explaining why they were not invited: the venue could not accommodate everyone. The couple then proceeds to ask the rejected guests for money to fund a lovely honeymoon. The audacity…
Why Not?
Weddings can be monotonous at times. People have realized this over time, and as a result, they try to come up with fun ideas to make the wedding an unforgettable day for all who attend. Unfortunately, however, some wish to sabotage a wedding in every way possible.
Why Not?
Take, for example, this poster, who had the audacity to ask if a smoke bomb should be used to disrupt a wedding. Maybe it’s a crazed ex who refuses to let go? Perhaps it’s a former best friend who doesn’t want the bride and groom to have a happy ever after? In any case, we’re just glad this poster was put up in their place.
Pandemic or Me?
It’s no secret that the pandemic has wreaked havoc on almost everything and everyone. Some people decided to postpone their big day due to the virus’s spread, while others decided to go ahead with it regardless of the global climate. But, even if they decide to keep their wedding day the way it is, they can’t expect everyone else to agree.
Pandemic Or Me?
When their best friend informed them that they would not attend their wedding, they got into a heated argument. They couldn’t believe their best friend had chosen to stay at home rather than put their lives in danger for them. With this one, we’re siding with the best friend.
Urinal for Sale
A lot of used items are sold online. However, as much as we appreciate the online platform, for this reason, some people go too far with it. This person listed a custom-made urinal that her husband built for their wedding reception on sale.
Urinal For Sale
No one with their senses could imagine it would intend to buy these items at such low prices. And so, with that in mind, it is inevitable to wonder if anyone bought them.
He Finally Pooped
Spell-check is something you should always have on hand for your big day. We understand the rush of adrenaline and excitement that comes with proposing to your partner, but come on! Running spell-check only takes a few seconds!
He Finally Pooped
This couple had a photoshoot for their engagement. But, unfortunately, instead of popping the question, he “pooped” it, according to the announcement. Oh no! And this, ladies and gentlemen, is proof that an extra “O” can certainly ruin a lovely thing!
Pricey Masks
While some couples chose to postpone or cancel their weddings due to the ongoing pandemic, others chose to keep their vows. Given this, it should come as no surprise that some businesses have decided to remain open. For example, an online shop started selling bridal masks to keep up with the times and cater to their customers. These masks, as you can see, are heavily embroidered and undeniably beautiful.
Pricey Masks
The problem is that these bridal masks are quite pricey, ranging from $50 to $60. For something as simple as a face mask, that’s a lot of money. On the other hand, we can only assume that a few brides purchased one of these face masks to wear to their own wedding.
Is He About to Snap?
Do you recall the release of Avengers: Infinity War? Memes of all the Marvel Cinematic Universe characters flooded the internet. During Avengers: End Game, the excitement was still high. Can anyone spot Thanos in this wedding photo while we’re on the subject of epic memes?
Is He About To Snap?
While it may appear that this person was simply photoshopped into the image, it turns out that this wedding guest was only trying on the mask for fun. If she took this during the pandemic, we could assume she was simply taking extra precautions to protect herself. In any case, this is without a doubt one of the most memorable and amusing wedding moments we’ve ever witnessed.
Precious Cat
Pets are precious. However, you must sometimes consider the happiness of others as well. This person once overheard a bride-to-be discussing with a store clerk how one of their guests thought their cats were invited to the wedding as well.
Precious Cat
Naturally, the bride wanted to be understanding, but that could only go so far when the guest tried to specify which types of flowers her kitties would tolerate. Unfortunately, cats, as adorable as they are, are probably not the best guests.
No Baby Policy
During their wedding, some couples can be extremely cruel. Here’s an excellent example. This couple decided not to have any children at their wedding, but they went a little too far in this case. One of the bridesmaids, the bride’s best friend, announced that she was pregnant and that her due date would fall right before the wedding.
No Baby Policy
The bride took her friend’s pregnancy very seriously and was even offended by it. As a result, she turned to Facebook for advice on what she should do and whether she was overreacting.
How About Cutting Down the Budget?
Weddings can be exorbitant at times, especially for those who appreciate the finer things in life. Take, for example, this lady. She quit her job because she couldn’t plan a wedding and work at the same time! She then had the audacity to pressure her future husband into taking on a second job so that they could afford the $80,000 dream wedding she had dreamed about her entire life.
How About Cutting Down The Budget
Rather than admitting what she had done wrong, she decided to vent her frustrations on Facebook. Talk about self-assured. Here’s a couple of suggestions, sweetie: ask for your job back or halve the budget.
Wait, Are You Replaceable?
When planning a wedding, getting all of your bridesmaids on board can be difficult. But that’s something this bride is well aware of! With only 44 days until her big day, this bride-to-be has been on the lookout for the perfect bridesmaids after three of her original five didn’t work out.
Wait, Are You Replaceable?
One of them, she claimed, had died, which she revealed rather casually. According to the post, the other two were thrown out of the bridal party, but don’t worry; they’re easily replaceable.
Deer Bridesmaids
Some wedding receptions and celebrations are more outrageous than others, depending on the couple marrying. Before the bride was to make her way down the aisle, this wedding party decided to make a rather unusual entrance.
Deer Bridesmaids
The bridesmaids and groomsmen walked into the venue — or were pulled into it — as if they had just been hunted like deer. To say the least, it’s shocking.
Pictures Over Best Friend
You’d be surprised to learn how petty people can be at weddings. But, for a long time, these two women were best friends. They hadn’t seen each other in a long time, and one of them was about to tie the knot.
Pictures Over Best Friend
The maid of honor was chosen from the other two candidates. Later, the bride-to-be noticed that her best friend had developed a cavity in recent years, which made her wonder how the wedding photos would look if the BFF were in the wedding party. Wouldn’t you say it’s a little cruel?
The Wedding Scam
Never put your trust in people who have a lot of money. This working couple was getting married, so they decided to entrust the event’s planning to one of their closest friends. They sent him large sums of money regularly.
The Wedding Scam
The couple naturally wanted to see how things were progressing as the day approached, but their so-called friend vanished completely. Furthermore, he did nothing to prepare for the wedding and took their money with him. That’s a level of betrayal that can’t be described.
Stand Up, Please
We’re trying to figure out if this has always been the case with weddings or if it’s a new trend brought on by the ongoing pandemic. In any case, this invitation is completely perplexing.
Stand Up, Please
Due to the pandemic, the bride and groom inform guests that they must stand during the ceremony. To put it another way, chairs will only be provided if the guest specifically requests them. What, then, is the link between being able to sit and being infected with the virus?
Timeless Disclaimer
Regardless of COVID-19, we’ve seen a lot of people get married. Even though some people are as cautious as they can, having your wedding or attending a wedding during a pandemic puts you at greater risk.
Timeless Disclaimer
During the pandemic, this couple got married. They talked about how wonderful their wedding day was, but they did add a disclaimer that they both tested positive for the virus afterward.
You Had One Job
Weddings are a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. In that case, it’s understandable why people would want to look their best for such occasions. Even so, unless you’re the bride, there’s one unspoken rule when it comes to getting ready: don’t overdo the look.
You Had One Job
You’re not supposed to outshine the bride as a guest. This woman, on the other hand, did. She only had one job, and it was a flop because she was far more beautiful than the bride-to-be. This is so depressing.
Worst Friends Ever
Bridesmaids and groomsmen are usually close friends and family members of the couple. But what if your maid of honor and best man are dating, and the best man has recently confessed to being unfaithful? Drama, drama, and more drama.
Worst Friends Ever
Rather than punishing the best man by removing him from the wedding party, the bride and groom chose to exile the maid of honor. What is the reason for this? Because the wedding was held at the home of the best man. That’s cruel, to say the least.
Can’t Because “Masks”
These pandemic weddings are becoming increasingly bizarre. While the face masks are inconvenient, it’s understandable that this bride and groom insist on their guests wearing them during the reception. Unfortunately, this rule did not appear to be popular with everyone.
Can’t Because “Masks”
One of the guests decided to oppose the entire concept. They texted the couple, expressing their desire to attend the wedding only if they were allowed to do so without wearing masks; otherwise, they would be unable to attend. Oh well, you won’t be missed all that much in any case!
Comfort Level
People have tried to be as inventive as possible during this pandemic, and the results were amusing. For example, for their wedding, this couple came up with the oddest but functional idea. Their guests were given wristbands that represented their ‘corona comfort level.’
Comfort Level
The purpose of these bands was to indicate whether the guests were high-risk or low-risk. We have to say; if you’re planning your wedding during the pandemic, this isn’t a bad idea.
Live Painting
At their wedding, this couple wanted to do something fun and different. So they came up with the idea of hiring a painter to paint them in real-time at the wedding. This is a fantastic idea, and we adore it. When they posted about it on the internet, one artist offered to do it for a thousand dollars.
Live Painting
This couple got into an argument with the painter after receiving a price quote. Thankfully, the final commenter arrived to put everyone in their place. It’s perfectly acceptable if you can’t afford to pay a thousand dollars for a live painting, but don’t dismiss or undervalue the work of talented artists.
A Mask Is a Myth
Another couple got married during the pandemic, and their cake was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. The cake toppers even wore masks! So that sounds and appears to be a reasonable and safe wedding, right?
A Mask Is A Myth
That’s incorrect. Although the cake toppers took precautions, the actual party guests did not. For example, during the wedding ceremony and reception, none of the bridesmaids wore masks, as you can see in the photo.
No Words
Being a bad speaker can lead to some awkward situations and scenarios. So it’s crucial to learn how to say things in a way that doesn’t offend anyone. Take, for example, this couple. They took to Facebook to ask a straightforward question.
No Words
How do they inform their guests that they will be responsible for their own meals? While we understand that weddings are expensive, this is a bit obnoxious. If you can’t afford to pay for the food, you may want to consider cutting costs or putting more money aside before the big day.
Wedding Potty
We’ve all seen or used a port-o-potty at some point. However, this does not imply that these items should be the focal point of your wedding photographs. They shouldn’t be on the show at all, in fact. Sure, many photographers enjoy getting creative and having the wedding party pose creative ways with lovely props. But, what was this photographer’s thought process?
Wedding Potty
Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea? Not only does that have to be a stinky backdrop, but it also has to be quite unsanitary. We’re all for innovation and thinking outside the box, but this is a little excessive.
Very Thoughtful
Pinterest has become increasingly popular over time. People use it for a variety of purposes, including getting wedding ceremony inspiration and creative ideas. For example, these individuals decided to have custom cookies made as party favors for their guests, and the results are absolutely hilarious — at least to us.
Very Thoughtful
The bride and groom’s initials are featured on the cookies. While that’s fine and dandy, the party favor’s concept could have been executed a little differently. Rather than receiving a tasty treat, guests were given a very dark and morbid message.
Health Was Never a Priority
The fact that a wedding was held during the pandemic speaks volumes about how seriously people are taking the virus, but, unfortunately, some couples went a little too far. This couple, for example, guests to their wedding but had issues with guests wearing masks.
Health Was Never A Priority
Their justification for not wearing masks is that they want their guests to smile in the wedding photos. If that’s the case, you should have postponed the wedding until after the pandemic has passed.
New State at Rescue
Many states were forced to close due to the virus’s spread to prevent the virus from sprUnfortunately, adding further. It appears that this interfered with some people’s wedding plans. These people were not willing to put their wedding in jeopardy because of a pandemic.
New State At Rescue
Instead of canceling or postponing their wedding, this bride and groom devised a unique solution. They decided to move the event to a different state where the pandemic wouldn’t restrict them. People can be incredibly inventive at times.
Bad Friends Indeed
Those who decided to marry during the pandemic had a difficult time deciding who to invite. Those who were most concerned about the pandemic declined wedding invitations and other social invitationsLikewise, A large number of their friends turned down this couple’s invitation.
Bad Friends Indeed
They complained that the same people who said no don’t seem to mind going out to eat or taking a vacation. If this is the case, it’s time to make some new (and better) friends!
