There are a whole lot of people who have a very specific wedding in mind when they’re getting married.

These Are Probably Going To Last Longer Than Your Marriage (Images Taken A Year Apart) - Stop With These Balloon Starts!
The region I live in is quite popular with weddings and so many people just don’t care about others and the environment because it’s their big day. Besides the fire works several times a week (who cares about the animals of locals when you’re from out of town?) these balloon starts are starting to get on my nerve. If I ever find one of the cards attached I‘m going to make sure they‘re going to be fined for littering.

#3 Priest Cancels Wedding After Seeing Cry For Help On Groom's Shoe And Says Church Is No Place For Jokes

Priest Cancels Wedding After Seeing Cry For Help On Groom's Shoe And Says Church Is No Place For Jokes
A video of Father Fábio Marinho went viral on social media after he reported, during an interview on the "LendaCast" podcast, that he annulled a wedding due to a joke the groom made at the altar. The incident took place in Uberlândia.

According to the priest, during the blessing, the guests began to laugh. Unable to understand why, he noticed that the groom had glued the phrase "Help me, get me out of here" to the sole of his shoe. This behavior was interpreted as an impediment to the wedding, leading the priest to cancel the ceremony.

"They knelt for me to give the blessing, and the church started laughing. I thought: something happened. When I saw what was in the groom's shoe, I took it off and got it. I said, 'Look, this is an impediment to me validating your marriage. Therefore, the wedding is canceled. You'll have to go through all the necessary procedures and decide if you really want to marry her, because you're asking for help,'" the priest said.

He also stated that marriage must be performed consciously and spontaneously, with no room for joking.

"When I asked if it was of your own free will, you said yes. But now you're asking for help. This isn't a joke or theater. Leave the joking for the party with your guests. I'm not there to celebrate something that isn't serious. If the groom is asking for help, he doesn't want it. In the name of the Church, I am obliged, by canon law, to suspend the marriage. The marriage becomes invalid," he explained.

The incident generated significant attention on social media, dividing opinions among internet users.

While some defended the priest's stance, others believed the groom's actions were merely a joke with no intention of invalidating the marriage.

Weddings are typically envisioned as upscale affairs, candle-lit dinners, string quartets, beautiful flowers, and carefully chosen color schemes that harmonize with the time of year. But in life, weddings are where good taste sometimes takes a day off, and where "personal style" is allowed to go off in what polite guests afterwards refer to as "memorable."

Trashy and tawdry wedding choices are the bane of wedding tradition, and to every couple that aspires to delicate elegance, there's another which looks at a smoke machine and says, "yeah, that's in front of the altar."

Its most common offender is the décor. People envision classy centerpieces and understated lighting, but what arrives on the scene are glitter bomb eruptions, giant plastic swans, or balloon arches that look like discarded party trimmings from a children's birthday party. Inspirational quote neon signs are also trendy, because nothing is more romantically timeless than "Live, Laugh, Love" flashing over the dance floor in migraine-inducing pink.

And then there's the dress. Brides' gowns can be beautiful, but sometimes they're beautiful for all the wrong reasons, sequins that dazzle guests when hit with sunlight, trains so large they require their own seating chart, or décolletage that requires the minister to strain his neck to see over. The grooms aren't exempted either, there's always one who feels the need to arrive in a rhinestone-encrusted tuxedo even Elvis himself might have found too flashy.

#12 Friend Thinks It’s Cute To Be Showing Up To My Wedding Wearing A Revealing Dress And Than Try’s To Justify It

Friend Thinks It’s Cute To Be Showing Up To My Wedding Wearing A Revealing Dress And Than Try’s To Justify It
I (24F) just got married recently. I invited this girl, Ariana (fake name, 19F), to my wedding since she’s a family friend that my family and I have known for years.
Ariana has always dressed in a revealing and skimpy way, which I knew. But when I invited her to my wedding, the invitation clearly said to dress elegant. I thought she had the common sense to dress appropriately for the occasion.
Well, I was wrong. She showed up to the ceremony in one of those Poster Girl-style dresses with slits in the front but this one was even worse.
After the ceremony and reception, I texted her asking why on earth she would wear that kind of outfit to my wedding. She responded with, “Because I can.”
I’m going to show the text conversation and the dress she wore so you can get a better idea of what I’m talking about.

The entertainment column is also filled with choices to be questionable. Having a DJ is par for the course, but there are couples who demand their first dance just has to be surrounded by pyrotechnics. Others choose choreographed numbers so elaborate that you can't help but feel as though you've wandered into a low-budget talent show.

#14 Where In The Whole Universe, Did She Find The Audacity

Where In The Whole Universe, Did She Find The Audacity
My mom recently got married. This is a second marriage for both of them as they both lost their spouse; one to cancer and one to early onset dementia.

It was a small and intimate wedding to celebrate finding their love again. This lady is not even related to the grooms side. She is just a friend and I had no idea that anyone could have this much audacity!

She had been told 3 times by this point to sit down by the photographer because she kept moving and getting in the shots. I know this is going to sound bad but verbatim, she said “oh, sorry, I don’t understand…” She is a smart lady. An international student with 2 degrees who perfectly understands English. The photographer didn’t know her so didn’t want to assume she knew English and kept trying to communicate to sit down.

I am so mad. My mom’s pictures will always have her in them now. By the end of the night she had been told 6 times to stop taking pictures. My husband finally yelled at her because she was taking pictures of the kids who were there. She always posts onto social media and we didn’t want those out there. Finally she stopped, with the threat of being kicked out…

Sweet talk is nice, but when the best man devotes three pages of locker room humor to the groom's college life, the audience giggles less and scowls more at the open bar. Food and drink generate their own brand of wedding pandemonium. A candy buffet can look frivolous, but by the end of the night it's sticky fingers and sugar-high kids.

#18 My Sister In Law Made Me Feel [Awful] Over My Allergy

My Sister In Law Made Me Feel [Awful] Over My Allergy
For context, I am deadly allergic to a lot of seafood. Some of them are okay, some make me feel like death. So, when I saw what they were serving for their sit down dinner at the reception, I noticed 70 percent was seafood, and the rest could possible be contaminated. They have a salad bar and sundae bar planned, but my brother mentioned a while back they were concerned about having enough food.
Anyways, I sent these messages to my SiL and it made me feel [awful] for even bringing it up. I guess it wasn't a huge deal, bur definatley made me feel bad for even asking.
(Shes blue, im yellow)
Sorry for all my typos. Im.. really bad at texting. Lol.

Signature drinks can be playful, but dubbing them such monikers as "The Blushing Bride-tini" or "Till Death Do Us Daiquiri" ensures at least one or two guests will be sorry they did come morning. And while food trucks may be a fun twist, there is always that one instance where a guest who's all dressed up ends up dripping taco sauce across the dance floor.
