There is so much tradition and rigamarole that goes into having a wedding. Not only in the ceremony, where most people follow arcane rituals of unveiling, escorting the bride, and using performative language to get it all done, but in the reception too. Recent tradition holds that you must have either a band or a …

Man is forced to work on his wedding day despite asking for leave 6 months prior: ‘His job will not remember this sacrifice’
We get so caught up in the everyday humdrum of life that we forget to take time out for the special things. That’s what holidays are best for– they make you stop your usual routine, slow down, and take in some special memories. It’s incredibly important to the human psyche. If we didn’t have holidays …

‘Don’t let sunk costs trap you’: No-regrets adults share tales of backing out on their already-paid-for weddings
Backing out on a wedding last minute can seem like a pretty reckless decision. Usually, you (or your family) have put down non-refundable deposits, notified the community, and bought some slick new duds. But marrying the wrong person just because some people spent some money is an even more reckless decision. Nobody knows this quite …

Weddings are one of the only times that you have to dance as an adult publicly. Most of us enjoy a little boogie here and there under the cover of night and usually under the influence of something, on a night out on the town. But unless you’re a professional dancer, dancing in front of …

40-year-old refuses to wear same bridesmaid’s dress as rest of the group, jeopardizes friendship with the bride: ‘I look much older than all of them’
There are only a few situations in life where you’re forced to wear something you didn’t pick out: when you’re a kid, when your job requires a uniform, and when you’re a bridesmaid. That’s usually the whole sitch of the gig– you wear a dress that you probably think is ugly, spend too much money …

Bridezilla treats wedding guest like hired help, forces her to clean Airbnb, blocks her for talking back: ‘I was used and taken advantage of’
There used to be a show called Bridezillas, a very early-aughts trashy reality show that aired on WE, that followed brides-to-be who got a little out of control. They pitched fits, yelled at family members, and were demanding, bratty, and entitled. It was riveting television. There’s something about the archetype of the Bridezilla that we …

‘The maid of honor confessed her love for the groom in her toast’: Redditors Share the Funniest and Wildest Wedding Toasts They Had Ever Heard
If we’re being completely honest, letting someone make a toast during a wedding, after everyone had a few drinks and is not in their best state of mind, is a terrible idea.

Bride and groom gift $800 to each wedding guest, pay for their first-class flights: ‘For a 100 guests that’s like half a million alone’
Many people dream of their fairytale wedding. Movies and TV shows put big ideas in our heads about over-the-top ceremonies in exotic, far-flung locales, huge couture gowns, and all the bells and whistles. Weddings capture our imaginations: they’re parties, yes, but they’re also public displays of love, family, and most importantly, of wealth. They’re opportunities …

‘They came back with $2,000 in an envelope’: Parents bribe adult son to attend sister’s wedding despite toxic brother’s attendance, it backfires
Bribes, though generally frowned upon, are usually effective. Cash is a very powerful motivator. Take, for instance, YouTube behemoth Mr. Beast. The whole conceit of his channel is bribing normal people into doing difficult and unsavory tasks (like surviving in a grocery store for as long as possible or completing a high-stakes obstacle course) in …

Cake baker refuses to make $1000 cake for sister’s wedding, sister is offended when she outsources the job: ‘I do not give gifts that expensive’
If you’ve ever bought a custom cake, you know that they tend to cost way more than you might expect them to cost. You think, «It’s just sugar, eggs, and flour, right? Why do I feel like applying for a loan at the bank?» But cake is an art, and art takes time. Cake decorators are …
