Everyone has their own vision of a perfect wedding, but certain traditions have become mainstream despite only a few people actually enjoying them.
Be it the couple and their over-the-top expectations for the bridal party or the shameless distant uncle who arrives just to get hammered, there are so many things we are told to accept because that's just the way it is. Well, even if we decide to comply, that doesn't mean we can't complain about them online.
Mette Blackburn, a wedding photographer from Utah, United States, asked the internet to share their most unfiltered hot takes about weddings, and the responses made it clear: sometimes, the ceremonies and the receptions are more fun to critique than to attend.

Childfree weddings are perfectly fine. Stop crying about it. It’s not your day, nor is anything about you..get over it

Proposing to your partner at someone else’s wedding is lazy asf and a red flag in my book.

A destination wedding is a burden on the guests. Don't be Suprised if not many show up because of finances

A wedding is not a family reunion. You don’t have to invite the cousin you don’t like simply because your mom wants to avoid a fight with her sister.

Throwing cake in the bride’s face. She spent $80 on that makeup and $200 on her hair and you’ve just ruined all of it.

$80 and $200!? I got married in 2017 and I spent $550 and $600 🫣 I can’t imagine prices these days

why humiliate your new wife like that in front of your friends & family? it’s not funny if you’re the only one laughing

You don't have to take his last name, btw. It's not a requirement. He can always take yours if he wanted to.

Asking guests to pay so they get to attend is tacky. If you can’t afford a wedding either elope or just shorten your list.

People who get mad at dry weddings are boring. If you're canceling going to the biggest day of your loved one's life just because there's no booze, then you shouldn't have been invited anyway. Be happy for the couple and have fun without needing to get wasted!

The guest list is the couple’s guest list, not the family’s

when my cousin got married a few months ago this was a huge issue because our grandma wanted to invite all of HER friends and a church group

If you wouldn’t invite them over for dinner… they shouldn’t be invited to the wedding

Weddings don’t need to be a massive event with 100+ people. It’s supposed to be intimate, invite close family/friends only and spend the money on your honeymoon

Unpopular opinion: it’s weird to want to be the center of attention and have everyone fawn over you all night… also hate when couples do a cheesy memorized dance routine like the Backstreet Boys in front of everyone. Maybe I’m autistic but it’s so awkward. I hate everything about weddings and that’s why I am not having one. Trip to the courthouse and then long amazing honeymoon. Thank God my fiancé is an introvert too and would also hate a wedding.

Getting sloppy drunk/ groom or bride being too drunk to remember the night is so odd to me. You can have a party and rage anytime- I replay my wedding over and over in my head all the time and it makes me so happy- what would’ve been the point in not honoring what an important day that was by treating it like a random night out

You cannot have a Kardashian level lavish wedding when you make 60K a year- stop trying to make your friends and guests pay for an event you can’t afford.
