Your guests are not props. You invite them to enjoy your day with you. Yes you get to choose what you want because its your day, but your guests comfort is absolutely important. I really wish you well for your wedding day and hope all this current craziness doesnt affect it xx
I will never tell him but my brother's wedding was the worst/cheapest wedding I've ever been to. As a backstory: my brother and his now wife lived in Anchorage Alaska at the time and lived well within their means from what I could tell. They met when they were both picking up extra shifts at a local bar. They got married in a nature reserve too. Beautiful location. Zero decore. Zero indication there was a wedding. The whole thing was super casual since it wasn't the first marriage for either of them. But it would have been nice to see my brother in something nicer than blue jeans. The bride even left all the bouquets at home by mistake. The reception took place in the bar they worked at together. Again, zero decore. All the food supplied by guests as a big potluck. So naturally, it was all side dishes because who brings a main course to a wedding. Oddly, despite the fact it took place in a bar, we still had to pay all our drinks including wine and beer. The weirdest part was at the end of the event, the last 30 minutes was double booked. By a fetish convention. So my moms face during the last 30 minutes was hilarious.
Coming from Venezuela (South America) this story is just so bizarre to me. Weddings back home (even day weedings) end really late at night (I'm talking 4-5am in the morning) and there's always SO much food!! I once went to a wedding that ended at around 9am.. they served us dinner, late night snacks and breakfast (yes, breakfast!!) - and if a wedding ends at around midnight.. the couple will know they didn't do a very good job with the DJ 😅
Here in Brazil is basically the same!! Lots o food, music and the reception lasting all night long. But I've been to some day weddings as well, but those usually start at the morning, we have lunch and lots of food afterwards and it ends by the end of the afternoon.
Yeah it honestly could’ve been so great if the spending had gone to the right places! I felt like they spent a ton on the venue, the bar and the fancy raw bar and could have done without most of that and served a buffet and people would’ve been MUCH happier
My husband and I went to his friends wedding a couple years ago. It was at a beautiful house they rented in the Texas hill country. We called about 2 hours before to ask him if they needed any help or anything from town and were told nope we have it all done. So we showed up 30 min before hand to visit with family. Only to find they had NOTHING done. And had apparently put my SIL in charge of making the entire dinner for 100. Only she does NOT cook. So she started asking for my help, one dish at a time. I ended up catering the entire thing when she wandered off pretty quick. Only I had NO idea what was on the menu so I just started digging around and making guesses. The mother of the bride thought I was the actual caterer at one point and was getting mad because it wasn't done like she wanted. She was quite shocked to find out I was an invited guest of the groom and was just helping. I now refuse to go to weddings in fear it will happen again. Lol
The oyster bar is hysterical 😂 This definitely was a weird wedding. Some people just don’t know how to throw a party. I don’t understand it. It’s like they have never been to a wedding or they just don’t care 🤷♀️
😂 I know! With the giant gorgeous venue and the open bar and seafood, it’s not like she didn’t have a decent budget. The priorities were just all over the place haha
I'm from New York, if someone invited me to a wedding with no food, I'd go get food and bring it back. Just to piss off the bride and groom and let them know I'm pissed there's no dinner service. If you're gonna do that, have an earlier ceremony service so that everyone can get out by lunch. The fact that they paid a good chunk of change for an oyster bar and an open bar but didn't pay to feed the guests an actual meal! Even a buffet is usually an inexpensive option if you're trying to save money which I don't know if they were considering the reception was so nice but the ceremony was clearly not thought out.
ORRRR She could have reduced her guest list (ppl that weren't immediate family or close friends) saving at least $600-$800 to feed her guests 🤦🏾♀️🥴🤷🏾♀️
Wow, the bride and groom should have been ashamed of themselves. I would have up and left the wedding if I was a guest. I mean, based on your story, the wedding itself was a disaster. Good food would have been a compensation but they didn't even serve food. To make their guests wait for nothing, oh wow they have some nerve.
Oh, my gosh - I got married at a state park, and my “aisle” was a pathway through this beautiful flower garden. 5 minutes before the ceremony all my bridesmaids and me are lined up, music is playing, VERY CLEAR we’re about to walk down the aisle, and there are people walking through the garden and checking everything out. I was floored, cuz if I had seen what was going on, I would have gotten out of there so fast so as to not bother anyone! 😂 People are crazy at park weddings! 😂
Now, I feel guilty. We were staying at the Ritz-Carlton in Naples, Florida as Hurricane Sandy was hitting the eastern seaboard. Florida got the outer rings of the storm, but the winds were still substantial. We watched from our 4th floor balcony as they began to set up a the wedding in the courtyard over-looking the beach, the water, which had been a beautiful blue the day before was muddy,, gray and churning. The bridal runner was flapping on the wind, eventually 2 hotel staff members literally threw themselves down on each end of the runner in the "x" position to weigh it down. Tape simply wasn't working. The guest were getting blown all over the place by the wind, as were their chairs, the staff couldn't put them upright fast enough ,women's skirt were blown up over their heads. I could even see one man's toupee flapping in the breeze. The runner "weight" rolled off the carpet just in time for the bride to start down the aisle. Halfway down her veil was picked up by the wind and flew away, the staff member then found himself chasing the veil. He never caught it. While I wasn't in any pictures, this tourist couldn't turn herself away, I was watching a high comedy. I can only hope they didn't hear our laughter. This bride was so committed to the outdoor wedding she didn't make the decision to take it indoors, which we were later told was an option. Luckily, the reception was indoors. Her wedding was at the Ritz-Carlton and her guests were miserable. Use some common sense ladies, sometimes your vision of the perfect wedding just can't happen.
Omg I lived there and could only imagine the horror of being a bride and watching everything crumble 😭 especially spending that type of money at the Ritz. It probably was pretty funny though and I hope they remember it as a good story
I cannot imagine not serving guests. My husband and I had a smaller wedding (I have terrible anxiety with big crowds lol. Although, we’re renewing our vows in front of everyone). Anyway, we spent several thousands of dollars on food for the people we had. We had a 5 course Italian meal served and it was delish along with an open bar and cake.
I had a very similar wedding experience! It was for a very close family friend. The wedding itself was beautiful. It started around 4:30-5 ish, so I assumed there would be dinner served (I should have know better, I have known these people for years and they always eat dinner hella early 😂). Reception starts, we are waiting and waiting. Bride and groom come out and start cutting the cake. I haven’t eaten since early that morning so I start PANICKING. I’m trying to plan my escape route to grab Taco Bell around the corner. About an hour later they announced a “late night snack bar” was open. It wasn’t a ton of food, just some chicken skewers and croissants, but you best believe my ass SPRINTED to the front of that line to eat my dry ass chicken kabob. I was then able to proceed awkwardly dancing to “yeah” by usher without offending the other guests with my grotesque stomach growls. I learned that day that at my wedding I will be informing guests if I plan to only feed them a hunk of bread and one lousy chicken skewer.
You are a great story teller. I would have probably done everything you did, but I would not have gone back. I just can’t believe that none of her family or the bridesmaids or anyone helped her along with this and I can’t believe that she was that naive. I would love to know the back story. Unbelievable! I would be humiliated if everyone remembered my wedding as one of the worst they ever attended.
You can tell they were really cheap but they wanted the most expensive wedding so they probably spent their whole budget to pay for the reception place and her wedding dress. Then there was no more money for the rest.
I went to a wedding reception/open house that was pretty weird, too. Not as weird as this, but it ticked me off because I sacrificed going to another event I wanted to go to. Basically, the bride & groom had an open house in this beautiful courtyard with beautiful decor. They served popcorn, flavored sodas, cotton candy, & corn on the cob with some powder. On top of that, some of the guests came wearing shorts & t-shirts. Granted, it wasn't the ceremony, but regardless, it's still a semi-formal event.
The oddest wedding I've ever been to was quite a few years ago in Southeast Texas. It was a friend of a friend that I knew but we weren't really close. She asked my sisters and I to sing so we show up early to get everything straight with the sound guy and somehow ended up setting up the reception and cooking all the food. Lol it was crazy and her mom was trying to talk her out of getting married the whole time she was getting ready. It's even in her wedding video🙆🙈
I got married at a resort in the Dominican Republic and there were several locations for the ceremony including this private rooftop, which my husband and I chose and it was beautiful. The resort we got married at was one that we had been to before; we saw a wedding take place at this beautiful gazebo on the beach, which also happened to be located between the two main pools of the resort -- my husband and I being in one of them. We stayed where we were in the pool and watched the bride walk down the aisle (because how can you not at least watch that part), but then we turned away and went about our business. But we noticed SO MANY people from the pool and the beach move closer, like right up to the gazebo, so they could watch and take pictures, and that just blew our minds. Like, I know the ceremony isn't blocked off and it's in a very public space, but that still does not make it okay for people to just intrude like that! I really wonder what goes through the minds of those people.
Wow that wedding sounds so bad... like it seemed like they didn’t think about their guests at all. But going to other weddings with your partner definitely helps with your own wedding planning! My husband and I talked so much before our wedding about the things we liked and didn’t like from others weddings. Also hang in there girl! I know you’re tired and stressed but try your best to still enjoy it all
I know I'm a little late commenting but this story time encompasses QUITE a few weddings my fiance&I have been to so I figured I'd leave you with a few snippets of some of the most awful weddings we've been to... 1) the groom dropped the ring 3 times during the ceremony (during which it was muddy&50 degrees OUTSIDE in the middle of June)...I whispered to my fiance that was a bad omen and now that couple is divorced...yikes 2) We went to an outdoor wedding in October (gets dark early...) and they had NO additional lighting except for what was in the tents (which wasn't much)..my mom fell in a ditch. 3) A wedding where the bride&groom were almost two hours late to their own reception 4) An outdoor wedding in August that had meatballs, olives, cheese&crackers as appetizers then we waited almost 2 hours to eat a dinner that was not edible
Yes! And honestly the venue was stunning but was huge for the 80 people that they had. They could’ve probably saved money there too and given us SOMETHING. ANYTHING!!! Lol it was bad
Yup! We picked the venue and then the food. Once those two were done, we felt a huge weight had been lifted in terms of stress. Everyone was so happy with the food and the food was even more delicious the day of than at the tasting. We were so happy.
Oof, I'm getting married next June and the very first thing we decided was the food. I work in the culinary field so I have a bunch of friends who are helping me cook and set up! We're doing a taco bar bc it's easy and fun ❣️ We're doing the ceremony and reception at the same venue but leaving for pictures bc we decided to save money and not use my dream ceremony space but we're still doing pictures there, but we've really stressed making sure our cocktail hour doesn't exceed an hour and fifteen minutes because we both know how awful it is to sit around waiting forever 😥
That is so rude the wedding itself is one thing but do not invite people to a reception/party and not feed them it's freaking rude I agree with you Kaylee I would never throw a party and expect people to come and not feed them in some way even if I had to order from a restaurant or Taco Bell or something I would give them food
I took serious notes of what to avoid after this experience lol. It was so rough. I’m glad the bride and groom had a great time but yeah...the guests were some hangry people haha
I got married last month on a beach as well. Halfway through the ceremony, I noticed that there was a group of elderly tourists who had turned their chairs around to watch and one of them recorded the ceremony. So freaking strange.
Currently started wedding planning and taking mental notes of what not to do after watching this. We will definitely be serving food and thinking of a poutine bar as a late night snack to help with everyone who’s been drinking. Definitely will be to much food at mine
I have watched your bridesmaid story and this...I feel so bad about your wedding experiences! And I am baffled as to no food with an open bar, at dinner time...I hope you vlog some of your wedding so we can see all tips and tricks of DOs! Lol i have also gone to a beach wedding where i was helping with hair, and had to help set up the ceremony..but it sounds like you had more options! Lol
Haha I’ve seriously had the oddest experiences 😂 we have two other weddings besides our own this year (fingers crossed all happen with this virus madness!😣) and I’m hoping we have a nice normal time and get the eat. That’s all I ask is that I get fed something substantial hahaha. I’m planning to vlog “wedding week” so I’ll show all the stuff we’re doing!
As you were telling it I was like "well... That's not that bad.... I mean.... It happens....." Then the photographer comment and the tourists reminded me of my brother in law's wedding. We didn't go because it was in Hawaii and like... Way too much money for us, but my mother in law, his mom, was the photographer. They went to some place for a photoshoot and these people WOULD NOT get out of her picture. She's so good at editing, if you saw the picture you'd never know those people were even there. But back to the video... I mean, everything seemed like if it hadn't all been at once it wouldn't have been that bad until.... The nonexistent meal.... That's bad. That's really really bad. My husband and I got married really quickie style and didn't have a ceremony. Sounds weird but we got married in a Denny's, the place where we had our first date. We only had the officiant and 2 witnesses there and we bought everyone's dinner. It was nice. I do want to have a real ceremony eventually when we have the money for it, but it's still not going to be a big to do.
The worst wedding I've ever been to was a childhood friends. The groom and groomsmen showed up to the ceremony (in a church) drunk and high. At the reception the maid of honor and best man were so drunk they were falling all over each other and slurred their way through the speeches. It was so cringey and lots of wtf. Several years later they are still married and seem to be doing well for themselves.
They are both no longer listed unfortunately. I had a major issue with people doxxing the girls from the story (going crazy detective on my and my friend's socials and harassing them across platforms) and I no longer felt it was worth trying to keep track of. It was meant to be purely for entertainment purposes, and no matter how angry I was with the people in the story, I did not think it was ok for them to be harassed. I have two stories (non-wedding related lol) on my schedule for the summer though, so be on the lookout!
"From Maine and don't like sea food" no I get it. I am from Iowa and deal with it but not a fan of corn. Being around something your whole life, no your not going to like as time goes on.
WOW... So in my experience (I am only 5 min through lol) that kind of invite def goes to trying to fill seats. You guys also could have been on the secondary list to meet their quota for their venue. The receipts in the bag meant they were returning all the items purchased. I cannot tell you how many brides (I am a photographer) have told me they are doing this... between walmart, michaels etc. Even a wedding dress!!!!!!!!! Making you guys pay entrance fees to the beach, without telling you especially...is so completely tacky. BUT...this can just come from not being knowledgeable at all in wedding etiquette. The stuff not being set up... didn't hear why yet, if you tell - but my first instinct is they either are just not together themselves, or they expected help from those arriving early. Can't wait to hear. :D
OH. MY. GOD. That is all I can say. I was thinking it the second you said the apps were cleaned out and everyone nursing drinks... but I didn't think that could actually be the case. this couple was beyond rude, every step of the way. Sounds like all they cared about were the photos, and to "show" their day was beautiful. BUT, in reality...wow.. Just WOW. The time indicates dinner. As the photographer, having the timeline, I would have been pushing them to get to the venue on time. So now, I am wondering what this photographer got. Can you show us some photos, maybe blocking faces? This is so crazy...... thanks for sharing!
One of the worst wedding I have been was by big brother's wedding (but I will never tell him, but I think he kinda knows). My sister in law was always the one who wore the pants in their relationship, so during the wedding preparation my brother barely had any say in his wedding - even his suit was chosen by her (well, he is a big fella so it was basically the one that fit him, but the shirt, the tie... She chose everything). They didnt? want to pay alot for their day, so during the celebration the music was a small group of musicians from their town (for free) and as I was also a musician my brother asked me to play as well and my boyfriend to sing (because they were a small group again). My godchild also sang (he sings in a kids choir). All for free. They had a church wedding and then we went to the cheapest venue in our town - the food was ok. My boyfriend and I made their wedding souvenirs for free (it was our wedding present), the photographer was paid by the bride?s aunt, florist paid by another aunt, venue paid by both parents (my dad insisted in an open bar so he paid that extra), my parents paid for a place to stay for our relatives that lived far... They didn't pay for anything and they couldn't just put a bit of extra money for the decoration or even the entertainment... Even though the DJ group that came (paid by the groom and bride) was my brother's kind of jam and personality. They were cheap and you could see that on their day. I was sad for my parents because they wanted to help out as much as they could financially and physically (my mom made the baskets with the flower petals to be thrown at them at the end of the ceremony, made the breakfast for the whole family that day and offered lunch the next day to the family that stayed) and after everything was done, she got a nick nack bracelet (those cheap friendship bracelets for 5$) and my dad got a plastic statue saying best father of the groom... My mom wears the bracelet everyday but I know she is disappointed by my brother because she has told me and asked me and asked me when I got married to please do things differently... Oh I forgot! They didn't do the mother-son dance, which my mom was really bummed about because that is a huge tradition in our family and on the day the bride cut off my brother's tie and did a small auction to gather more money from the guests (as I said my mom paid for his suit, tie, everything and nobody told her that this was a tradition on her part of the family)... They had the nerve during the auction to ask for the parents and me to bid. Yeah... That was just wierd. But if it is a tradition from her part of the family I understand but they should have at least told my parents so they could be counting on it. If you read all this, thank you! This is one major rant xD
I'm getting married in 19 months so I can really plan correctly and not rush everything. How long is your engagement? Can we maybe have some wedding videos and tips and tricks? Thank you so much
My engagement will be 16 months total! I have a vid on the channel about how I got organized if you’re interested in that! I focused on booking vendors first and now we’re just paying everything off. I’ll definitely make more videos about tips and tricks I’ve learned 😊
It's not hard. You have a lot of time to plan. I watched a lot of UA-cam videos on weddings, researched a lot, and talked to vendors. Started somewhat researching at 24 months. Finally talked and emailed vendors at 17 months in. And now at 15 months, I already booked my day of coordinator, venue, photographer, and videographer. Everything else will be book by 8 months in. Then we can work on finishing touches and enjoy our engagement.
I absolutely love raw oysters but this is totally ridiculous and i would have been upset too. You can't have an event through dinnertime, with no dinner especially with an open bar. Its bad enough the ONE person thought this was a good idea but TWO people thinking that's a good idea is wild! Jeez i hope they make better decisions if and when they have kids!
I went to a wedding once where dinner was really far out from the ceremony, but they put chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks out for appetizers and that literally saved us
My god, what a rollercoaster. I would have loved to be there though, so much to talk and bond about! 😄 Can you imagine grouping up together with your table, going out for some McDonald in your nice clothes, shop in the next Walmart for some snacks and returning to the party for drinks? Lol!
That wedding is disorganized and mismanaged I'm like you if you're going to invite your friends, family members etc make sure to have it mentioned that if there's not going to be a dinner served make it known accordingly or just serve the dinner since you're planning on having seating and everything anyway. That's so crazy!
My wedding is next year. I’m from the UK and we’re having it in Vegas. It’s not a conventional wedding with no cake or first dance etc. But I’ve made sure, after the chapel ceremony, there is a limo-coach to take us for photos at the sign and various other spots and then we’ve paid for A three course meal at a private terraced at an Italian steakhouse. Food is a staple. How the hell can you leave your guests un fed? So rude
Just got to the part where nothing is set up and thinking...wait she invited you to come to her wedding a month before it happen...who else thinks the wedding planner flaked?? And this woman was like who do I know has type A personality. Lol you are so sweet!!!
OMG! What a horrendous wedding nuptials & reception! Obviously the bride & groom are terribly disorganized. In my home country wedding planning starts 1year in advance and all the weddings are so grand with all details well taken care of.
Yes ours is in August as well and I am already coming up with possible times to postpone to. I got a message from my venue today and she’s pretty confident we’ll be okay, but has suggested getting insurance and she’s going to work with us if this doesn’t slow down.
My boyfriends sister was supposed to get married mid-April and has a bridesmaid who lives halfway around the world, so she has to postpone until travel is okay at the least
Wow... as someone planning their wedding this was so entertaining to listen to! You can not have a wedding during a meal time without serving a meal! Wedding/event panning 101 🥴 I am not serving a meal at my micro wedding, just cake and champagne. My wedding is from 2-4 and this is clearly stated on the invitation.
I've been to a cocktail style wedding, but they made it very clear on the invitation and their website. They also started the ceremony at 7pm, so ppl had the chance to grab an early dinner.
That makes no sense how they have plate settings and a seating chart when you have no actual meal. I have been to a few weddings where they don’t have a meal selection option on the wedding invite because everyone is eating the same thing whether it’s a beef or chicken selection and if they are vegetarian they have are able to inform servers or it’s already something that is indicated on the invite but to just straight up not have food but have a small cheese and cracker selection followed by a late night of oysters is weird. I have also heard of people not having a traditional sit down meal but just having it all be passed appetizers by servers or having a appetizer table where guest go up to as they wish as food which makes sense
My husband and I hadn't been married for too long (my 2nd marriage) and we went to a wedding for the daughter of one of my good friends. The reception was way too crowded for the small space, you could barely get between the tables. It took so long for the bride and groom to get there, and the bride was so rumpled and red-looking, it didn't take much imagination to figure out what they stopped for on the way...and I don't think it included pictures -- at least I hope not :-/ And even once they got there, you could tell it was still going to be awhile til food was served. We left and ate out.
I love a casual all-hands-in wedding...but not like that! My sis-in-law coordinated my wedding and a bunch of family & friends helped with set up & tear down, but it was all planned and timed out! 😳
I get maby having a wedding that is less formal in the sense that it’s not really a formal sit down dinner that’s either played and served individually or as a buffet but instead choosing to have it either as a more you can make a plate of food off of a buffet when you want and their not being such a formal seating arrangement or just having appetizers either being served by wait staff or on a buffet but should be plentiful that your guests don’t feel hungry but however you choose to provide food you NEED to provide enough to allow guests eat and feel satisfied
My wedding had a buffet with like 12 options, from seafood, to lasagna, chicken, pork, different salads, potatoes casserole, a cheese and fruit bar, a dessert bar, 3 kinds of rice, chicken tenders for the kids lol
The decoration part was literally my wedding lol 😂 it was a beautiful mess, we planned it in like a month lol but I’m happy with how it all turned out. I also dropped my husbands ring bc I was so nervous 🤦🏻♀️❤️
My mom and her best friend are wedding/event planners (I help them frequently) and now I am planning my own wedding, this whole event made me cringe 😂😬 and NO FOOD😱 with an open bar scares me
It sounds like the bride and groom didn't have much of a budget for the wedding either that or the just really didn't care about planning a decent wedding that people would enjoy.
I’d say based on the venue we were in (Portland ME is so expensive) and the open bar, they definitely had the budget but just spent it SO weirdly lol. Open bars we’ve been quoted were around 5K in the same area, and our catering for 80 people was half that price. They definitely could’ve done food
They were late to the reception because the Bride and Groom probably ate before they came.
That’s what we talked about too😂 I totally forgot to mention that at the end
Or went somewhere to make it "official" 😂
😂😂😂😂 I’m dying!!!
I’m dying!!😂😂😂They were tryna kill y’all!! Open bar with no food 😮😂
😆 😆
Your guests are not props. You invite them to enjoy your day with you. Yes you get to choose what you want because its your day, but your guests comfort is absolutely important. I really wish you well for your wedding day and hope all this current craziness doesnt affect it xx
Exactly! And thank you so much, we are hoping that our August wedding is far out enough to avoid the madness!
I will never tell him but my brother's wedding was the worst/cheapest wedding I've ever been to.
As a backstory: my brother and his now wife lived in Anchorage Alaska at the time and lived well within their means from what I could tell. They met when they were both picking up extra shifts at a local bar.
They got married in a nature reserve too. Beautiful location. Zero decore. Zero indication there was a wedding. The whole thing was super casual since it wasn't the first marriage for either of them. But it would have been nice to see my brother in something nicer than blue jeans. The bride even left all the bouquets at home by mistake.
The reception took place in the bar they worked at together. Again, zero decore. All the food supplied by guests as a big potluck. So naturally, it was all side dishes because who brings a main course to a wedding. Oddly, despite the fact it took place in a bar, we still had to pay all our drinks including wine and beer.
The weirdest part was at the end of the event, the last 30 minutes was double booked. By a fetish convention. So my moms face during the last 30 minutes was hilarious.
Omg that ending 😂
sounds too funny :)
I’m so sorry... but that’s amazing. Not to experience I’m sure, but as something to read- ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️
Wow you won the internet with the fetish convention at the end 😂
Woooow 🤣🤣🤣
Coming from Venezuela (South America) this story is just so bizarre to me. Weddings back home (even day weedings) end really late at night (I'm talking 4-5am in the morning) and there's always SO much food!! I once went to a wedding that ended at around 9am.. they served us dinner, late night snacks and breakfast (yes, breakfast!!) - and if a wedding ends at around midnight.. the couple will know they didn't do a very good job with the DJ 😅
exacly! i'm from Brazil and that's exacly what happens here. Never saw a wedding end at midnight!
Maria T. Herrera 😩 I definitely need to attend a wedding there!
Here in Brazil is basically the same!! Lots o food, music and the reception lasting all night long. But I've been to some day weddings as well, but those usually start at the morning, we have lunch and lots of food afterwards and it ends by the end of the afternoon.
Poland, completely different culture, but SAME
Sounds like heck of a wedding they give you breakfast wow what a party
This was sad because they were willing to pay, just put no thought in planning.
Yeah it honestly could’ve been so great if the spending had gone to the right places! I felt like they spent a ton on the venue, the bar and the fancy raw bar and could have done without most of that and served a buffet and people would’ve been MUCH happier
@@TheNightOwl1212My sister got married recently. It was a TON OF FUN! They had a buffet with several options & everyone had a blast at the reception.
This wedding just stressed me out! 😂
Omh facts! 🥴💆🏾♀️
I need security for my wedding. The tourist part made me cringe. I need my time respected and food. Oyster bar sounds like torture
I hope the bride watches this video tho. haha.
The tourist part aggravated me 😂
My husband and I went to his friends wedding a couple years ago. It was at a beautiful house they rented in the Texas hill country. We called about 2 hours before to ask him if they needed any help or anything from town and were told nope we have it all done. So we showed up 30 min before hand to visit with family. Only to find they had NOTHING done. And had apparently put my SIL in charge of making the entire dinner for 100. Only she does NOT cook. So she started asking for my help, one dish at a time. I ended up catering the entire thing when she wandered off pretty quick. Only I had NO idea what was on the menu so I just started digging around and making guesses. The mother of the bride thought I was the actual caterer at one point and was getting mad because it wasn't done like she wanted. She was quite shocked to find out I was an invited guest of the groom and was just helping. I now refuse to go to weddings in fear it will happen again. Lol
The oyster bar is hysterical 😂 This definitely was a weird wedding. Some people just don’t know how to throw a party. I don’t understand it. It’s like they have never been to a wedding or they just don’t care 🤷♀️
😂 I know! With the giant gorgeous venue and the open bar and seafood, it’s not like she didn’t have a decent budget. The priorities were just all over the place haha
Exactly why I hired someone to plan my wedding, it really helped things move smoothly and really took the pressure off of me
This was a very funny story........you’re a good story teller.
I'm from New York, if someone invited me to a wedding with no food, I'd go get food and bring it back. Just to piss off the bride and groom and let them know I'm pissed there's no dinner service. If you're gonna do that, have an earlier ceremony service so that everyone can get out by lunch. The fact that they paid a good chunk of change for an oyster bar and an open bar but didn't pay to feed the guests an actual meal! Even a buffet is usually an inexpensive option if you're trying to save money which I don't know if they were considering the reception was so nice but the ceremony was clearly not thought out.
Chelsea Anderson this would never fly in NY! We spent so much money on food for our wedding. 🤣 how do you not feed people??
@@ShanMarie513 exactly! Food makes or breaks a wedding!
If you’re not going to feed them you should make that extremely clear in the invitations so that they have the opportunity to grab a meal before
Right! I thought she was gonna say guests started ordering pizza. Cause I would! Lol
ORRRR She could have reduced her guest list (ppl that weren't immediate family or close friends) saving at least $600-$800 to feed her guests 🤦🏾♀️🥴🤷🏾♀️
It sounds like these people should have hired a wedding planner.
Lol This sounds like a couple that maybe should've just eloped with the lack of consideration for the guests. But makes for a good story!
Wow, the bride and groom should have been ashamed of themselves. I would have up and left the wedding if I was a guest. I mean, based on your story, the wedding itself was a disaster. Good food would have been a compensation but they didn't even serve food. To make their guests wait for nothing, oh wow they have some nerve.
How can these types of weddings exist? Ever since I was 16, I thought about how my wedding day is going to go.
Well same here unintil I had 2 get married😅 sucks
Oh, my gosh - I got married at a state park, and my “aisle” was a pathway through this beautiful flower garden. 5 minutes before the ceremony all my bridesmaids and me are lined up, music is playing, VERY CLEAR we’re about to walk down the aisle, and there are people walking through the garden and checking everything out. I was floored, cuz if I had seen what was going on, I would have gotten out of there so fast so as to not bother anyone! 😂 People are crazy at park weddings! 😂
No food and an open bar were they hoping for a drunken mess
Now, I feel guilty. We were staying at the Ritz-Carlton in Naples, Florida as Hurricane Sandy was hitting the eastern seaboard. Florida got the outer rings of the storm, but the winds were still substantial. We watched from our 4th floor balcony as they began to set up a the wedding in the courtyard over-looking the beach, the water, which had been a beautiful blue the day before was muddy,, gray and churning. The bridal runner was flapping on the wind, eventually 2 hotel staff members literally threw themselves down on each end of the runner in the "x" position to weigh it down. Tape simply wasn't working. The guest were getting blown all over the place by the wind, as were their chairs, the staff couldn't put them upright fast enough ,women's skirt were blown up over their heads. I could even see one man's toupee flapping in the breeze. The runner "weight" rolled off the carpet just in time for the bride to start down the aisle. Halfway down her veil was picked up by the wind and flew away, the staff member then found himself chasing the veil. He never caught it. While I wasn't in any pictures, this tourist couldn't turn herself away, I was watching a high comedy. I can only hope they didn't hear our laughter. This bride was so committed to the outdoor wedding she didn't make the decision to take it indoors, which we were later told was an option. Luckily, the reception was indoors. Her wedding was at the Ritz-Carlton and her guests were miserable. Use some common sense ladies, sometimes your vision of the perfect wedding just can't happen.
Omg I lived there and could only imagine the horror of being a bride and watching everything crumble 😭 especially spending that type of money at the Ritz. It probably was pretty funny though and I hope they remember it as a good story
No meal... I would have left too and got food somewhere. The whole situation is bizarre lmao
I cannot imagine not serving guests. My husband and I had a smaller wedding (I have terrible anxiety with big crowds lol. Although, we’re renewing our vows in front of everyone). Anyway, we spent several thousands of dollars on food for the people we had. We had a 5 course Italian meal served and it was delish along with an open bar and cake.
YUM that sounds amazing!
I had a very similar wedding experience! It was for a very close family friend. The wedding itself was beautiful. It started around 4:30-5 ish, so I assumed there would be dinner served (I should have know better, I have known these people for years and they always eat dinner hella early 😂). Reception starts, we are waiting and waiting. Bride and groom come out and start cutting the cake. I haven’t eaten since early that morning so I start PANICKING. I’m trying to plan my escape route to grab Taco Bell around the corner. About an hour later they announced a “late night snack bar” was open. It wasn’t a ton of food, just some chicken skewers and croissants, but you best believe my ass SPRINTED to the front of that line to eat my dry ass chicken kabob. I was then able to proceed awkwardly dancing to “yeah” by usher without offending the other guests with my grotesque stomach growls. I learned that day that at my wedding I will be informing guests if I plan to only feed them a hunk of bread and one lousy chicken skewer.
How come the bride and groom didn't think about people being allergic to seafood, like clams...?!?!
This is actually a great point!
I have 2 or 3 family members that are allergic to shellfish...
Since it was a beach kind of wedding I assume people would no to not RSVP.
You are a great story teller. I would have probably done everything you did, but I would not have gone back. I just can’t believe that none of her family or the bridesmaids or anyone helped her along with this and I can’t believe that she was that naive. I would love to know the back story. Unbelievable! I would be humiliated if everyone remembered my wedding as one of the worst they ever attended.
Love your storytimes, you're so relatable!
You can tell they were really cheap but they wanted the most expensive wedding so they probably spent their whole budget to pay for the reception place and her wedding dress. Then there was no more money for the rest.
I went to a wedding reception/open house that was pretty weird, too. Not as weird as this, but it ticked me off because I sacrificed going to another event I wanted to go to.
Basically, the bride & groom had an open house in this beautiful courtyard with beautiful decor. They served popcorn, flavored sodas, cotton candy, & corn on the cob with some powder. On top of that, some of the guests came wearing shorts & t-shirts. Granted, it wasn't the ceremony, but regardless, it's still a semi-formal event.
The oddest wedding I've ever been to was quite a few years ago in Southeast Texas. It was a friend of a friend that I knew but we weren't really close. She asked my sisters and I to sing so we show up early to get everything straight with the sound guy and somehow ended up setting up the reception and cooking all the food. Lol it was crazy and her mom was trying to talk her out of getting married the whole time she was getting ready. It's even in her wedding video🙆🙈
Is it just me or I listen to these while I try to fall asleep
I can’t get enough of these story times, best thing to watch on youtube!
The best story teller ever! Yesss I always look forward these from you!
This is my first video and I’m only a minute in and there’s something about your personality that I just knew I wanted to subscribe.
I got married at a resort in the Dominican Republic and there were several locations for the ceremony including this private rooftop, which my husband and I chose and it was beautiful. The resort we got married at was one that we had been to before; we saw a wedding take place at this beautiful gazebo on the beach, which also happened to be located between the two main pools of the resort -- my husband and I being in one of them. We stayed where we were in the pool and watched the bride walk down the aisle (because how can you not at least watch that part), but then we turned away and went about our business. But we noticed SO MANY people from the pool and the beach move closer, like right up to the gazebo, so they could watch and take pictures, and that just blew our minds. Like, I know the ceremony isn't blocked off and it's in a very public space, but that still does not make it okay for people to just intrude like that! I really wonder what goes through the minds of those people.
This is absolutely astonishing 👰🏼
Wow that wedding sounds so bad... like it seemed like they didn’t think about their guests at all. But going to other weddings with your partner definitely helps with your own wedding planning! My husband and I talked so much before our wedding about the things we liked and didn’t like from others weddings.
Also hang in there girl!
I know you’re tired and stressed but try your best to still enjoy it all
I know I'm a little late commenting but this story time encompasses QUITE a few weddings my fiance&I have been to so I figured I'd leave you with a few snippets of some of the most awful weddings we've been to...
1) the groom dropped the ring 3 times during the ceremony (during which it was muddy&50 degrees OUTSIDE in the middle of June)...I whispered to my fiance that was a bad omen and now that couple is divorced...yikes
2) We went to an outdoor wedding in October (gets dark early...) and they had NO additional lighting except for what was in the tents (which wasn't much)..my mom fell in a ditch.
3) A wedding where the bride&groom were almost two hours late to their own reception
4) An outdoor wedding in August that had meatballs, olives, cheese&crackers as appetizers then we waited almost 2 hours to eat a dinner that was not edible
With the price of the raw bar and open bar, they could have fed you dinner and people would have been happier.
Yes! And honestly the venue was stunning but was huge for the 80 people that they had. They could’ve probably saved money there too and given us SOMETHING. ANYTHING!!! Lol it was bad
One of the most important parts of my wedding was the food!
Yesss the food is so important! We took our time finding the right caterer and have obsessed over if we’ll have enough food to keep everyone satisfied
Yup! We picked the venue and then the food. Once those two were done, we felt a huge weight had been lifted in terms of stress. Everyone was so happy with the food and the food was even more delicious the day of than at the tasting. We were so happy.
Oof, I'm getting married next June and the very first thing we decided was the food. I work in the culinary field so I have a bunch of friends who are helping me cook and set up! We're doing a taco bar bc it's easy and fun ❣️ We're doing the ceremony and reception at the same venue but leaving for pictures bc we decided to save money and not use my dream ceremony space but we're still doing pictures there, but we've really stressed making sure our cocktail hour doesn't exceed an hour and fifteen minutes because we both know how awful it is to sit around waiting forever 😥
Rachel my daughter and son in law had a taco bar. It worked great!
We had a taco bar at our wedding! We live in Texas so it just seemed natural lol. It was a huge hit with the guests!
That is so rude the wedding itself is one thing but do not invite people to a reception/party and not feed them it's freaking rude I agree with you Kaylee I would never throw a party and expect people to come and not feed them in some way even if I had to order from a restaurant or Taco Bell or something I would give them food
i just started my own wedding planning so this story....oof lol
I took serious notes of what to avoid after this experience lol. It was so rough. I’m glad the bride and groom had a great time but yeah...the guests were some hangry people haha
I got married last month on a beach as well. Halfway through the ceremony, I noticed that there was a group of elderly tourists who had turned their chairs around to watch and one of them recorded the ceremony. So freaking strange.
Omg whatttt😬 that is SO weird... especially recording it. Like...when are they planning to watch that back?!
@@TheNightOwl1212 That is exactly what I was thinking!!!!
How do you not FEED PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT!
Currently started wedding planning and taking mental notes of what not to do after watching this. We will definitely be serving food and thinking of a poutine bar as a late night snack to help with everyone who’s been drinking. Definitely will be to much food at mine
glad to have you back with another storytime, and this one did not disappoint :) Hope you will remember more weird things like that in future
Hahaha I promise that I will tell every weird thing! It’s so fun tbh
At first I thought this story was gonna be exaggerated but damn this wedding was just plain awful. No food!! Wow........
How did they plan a reception from 4-11 pm with no dinner that's so bizarre
This was sooo awkward to listen too lol
The whole experience...I can't stress enough how incredible strange the whole thing was haha😂
Good to have you back! Missed you!
I have watched your bridesmaid story and this...I feel so bad about your wedding experiences! And I am baffled as to no food with an open bar, at dinner time...I hope you vlog some of your wedding so we can see all tips and tricks of DOs! Lol i have also gone to a beach wedding where i was helping with hair, and had to help set up the ceremony..but it sounds like you had more options! Lol
Haha I’ve seriously had the oddest experiences 😂 we have two other weddings besides our own this year (fingers crossed all happen with this virus madness!😣) and I’m hoping we have a nice normal time and get the eat. That’s all I ask is that I get fed something substantial hahaha. I’m planning to vlog “wedding week” so I’ll show all the stuff we’re doing!
Good story time
You lost me at beach wedding and it just got worse
This was the story that kept giving. Thoroughly entertained.
As you were telling it I was like "well... That's not that bad.... I mean.... It happens....." Then the photographer comment and the tourists reminded me of my brother in law's wedding. We didn't go because it was in Hawaii and like... Way too much money for us, but my mother in law, his mom, was the photographer. They went to some place for a photoshoot and these people WOULD NOT get out of her picture. She's so good at editing, if you saw the picture you'd never know those people were even there. But back to the video... I mean, everything seemed like if it hadn't all been at once it wouldn't have been that bad until.... The nonexistent meal.... That's bad. That's really really bad.
My husband and I got married really quickie style and didn't have a ceremony. Sounds weird but we got married in a Denny's, the place where we had our first date. We only had the officiant and 2 witnesses there and we bought everyone's dinner. It was nice.
I do want to have a real ceremony eventually when we have the money for it, but it's still not going to be a big to do.
The worst wedding I've ever been to was a childhood friends. The groom and groomsmen showed up to the ceremony (in a church) drunk and high. At the reception the maid of honor and best man were so drunk they were falling all over each other and slurred their way through the speeches. It was so cringey and lots of wtf. Several years later they are still married and seem to be doing well for themselves.
“It will be a bride and groom and a man in a Speedo…” 🤠
I still wonder if they got any of the tourists in the photos!
Just outta curiosity, what happened to the Bridesmaids Horror Stories you had?
They are both no longer listed unfortunately. I had a major issue with people doxxing the girls from the story (going crazy detective on my and my friend's socials and harassing them across platforms) and I no longer felt it was worth trying to keep track of. It was meant to be purely for entertainment purposes, and no matter how angry I was with the people in the story, I did not think it was ok for them to be harassed. I have two stories (non-wedding related lol) on my schedule for the summer though, so be on the lookout!
@@TheNightOwl1212 Sorry to hear that happened! It is unfortunate that people just can not seem to listen to a story without causing chaos
"From Maine and don't like sea food" no I get it. I am from Iowa and deal with it but not a fan of corn. Being around something your whole life, no your not going to like as time goes on.
WOW... So in my experience (I am only 5 min through lol) that kind of invite def goes to trying to fill seats. You guys also could have been on the secondary list to meet their quota for their venue.
The receipts in the bag meant they were returning all the items purchased. I cannot tell you how many brides (I am a photographer) have told me they are doing this... between walmart, michaels etc. Even a wedding dress!!!!!!!!! Making you guys pay entrance fees to the beach, without telling you especially...is so completely tacky. BUT...this can just come from not being knowledgeable at all in wedding etiquette. The stuff not being set up... didn't hear why yet, if you tell - but my first instinct is they either are just not together themselves, or they expected help from those arriving early. Can't wait to hear. :D
OH. MY. GOD. That is all I can say. I was thinking it the second you said the apps were cleaned out and everyone nursing drinks... but I didn't think that could actually be the case. this couple was beyond rude, every step of the way. Sounds like all they cared about were the photos, and to "show" their day was beautiful. BUT, in reality...wow.. Just WOW. The time indicates dinner. As the photographer, having the timeline, I would have been pushing them to get to the venue on time. So now, I am wondering what this photographer got. Can you show us some photos, maybe blocking faces? This is so crazy...... thanks for sharing!
OH, and I would have left early - a girl's gotta eat! LOL
One of the worst wedding I have been was by big brother's wedding (but I will never tell him, but I think he kinda knows).
My sister in law was always the one who wore the pants in their relationship, so during the wedding preparation my brother barely had any say in his wedding - even his suit was chosen by her (well, he is a big fella so it was basically the one that fit him, but the shirt, the tie... She chose everything). They didnt? want to pay alot for their day, so during the celebration the music was a small group of musicians from their town (for free) and as I was also a musician my brother asked me to play as well and my boyfriend to sing (because they were a small group again). My godchild also sang (he sings in a kids choir). All for free.
They had a church wedding and then we went to the cheapest venue in our town - the food was ok. My boyfriend and I made their wedding souvenirs for free (it was our wedding present), the photographer was paid by the bride?s aunt, florist paid by another aunt, venue paid by both parents (my dad insisted in an open bar so he paid that extra), my parents paid for a place to stay for our relatives that lived far... They didn't pay for anything and they couldn't just put a bit of extra money for the decoration or even the entertainment... Even though the DJ group that came (paid by the groom and bride) was my brother's kind of jam and personality. They were cheap and you could see that on their day.
I was sad for my parents because they wanted to help out as much as they could financially and physically (my mom made the baskets with the flower petals to be thrown at them at the end of the ceremony, made the breakfast for the whole family that day and offered lunch the next day to the family that stayed) and after everything was done, she got a nick nack bracelet (those cheap friendship bracelets for 5$) and my dad got a plastic statue saying best father of the groom... My mom wears the bracelet everyday but I know she is disappointed by my brother because she has told me and asked me and asked me when I got married to please do things differently...
Oh I forgot! They didn't do the mother-son dance, which my mom was really bummed about because that is a huge tradition in our family and on the day the bride cut off my brother's tie and did a small auction to gather more money from the guests (as I said my mom paid for his suit, tie, everything and nobody told her that this was a tradition on her part of the family)... They had the nerve during the auction to ask for the parents and me to bid. Yeah... That was just wierd. But if it is a tradition from her part of the family I understand but they should have at least told my parents so they could be counting on it.
If you read all this, thank you! This is one major rant xD
I'm getting married in 19 months so I can really plan correctly and not rush everything. How long is your engagement? Can we maybe have some wedding videos and tips and tricks? Thank you so much
My engagement will be 16 months total! I have a vid on the channel about how I got organized if you’re interested in that! I focused on booking vendors first and now we’re just paying everything off. I’ll definitely make more videos about tips and tricks I’ve learned 😊
Our engagement was 5 years 😂
It's not hard. You have a lot of time to plan. I watched a lot of UA-cam videos on weddings, researched a lot, and talked to vendors. Started somewhat researching at 24 months. Finally talked and emailed vendors at 17 months in. And now at 15 months, I already booked my day of coordinator, venue, photographer, and videographer. Everything else will be book by 8 months in. Then we can work on finishing touches and enjoy our engagement.
@@TheNightOwl1212 thank you
@@aimeetrudgian4980 that's an amazing idea
How is it possible I found your vid when I live in Portland Maine for only a year now. So weird, crazy story!!!!
I would of been on the floor after all those cocktails and open bar and no food 😂
I’m glad I didn’t overdo it at cocktail hour because SAME 😂
I absolutely love raw oysters but this is totally ridiculous and i would have been upset too. You can't have an event through dinnertime, with no dinner especially with an open bar. Its bad enough the ONE person thought this was a good idea but TWO people thinking that's a good idea is wild! Jeez i hope they make better decisions if and when they have kids!
I went to a wedding once where dinner was really far out from the ceremony, but they put chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks out for appetizers and that literally saved us
My god, what a rollercoaster. I would have loved to be there though, so much to talk and bond about! 😄 Can you imagine grouping up together with your table, going out for some McDonald in your nice clothes, shop in the next Walmart for some snacks and returning to the party for drinks? Lol!
That wedding is disorganized and mismanaged I'm like you if you're going to invite your friends, family members etc make sure to have it mentioned that if there's not going to be a dinner served make it known accordingly or just serve the dinner since you're planning on having seating and everything anyway. That's so crazy!
I need a funny story to take my mind off the madness
Oh man! How I missed your story storytime vids!!! Just what I needed dueing this trying time! 💕 And oysters eeww 😂😂
My wedding is next year. I’m from the UK and we’re having it in Vegas.
It’s not a conventional wedding with no cake or first dance etc. But I’ve made sure, after the chapel ceremony, there is a limo-coach to take us for photos at the sign and various other spots and then we’ve paid for A three course meal at a private terraced at an Italian steakhouse.
Food is a staple. How the hell can you leave your guests un fed? So rude
Just got to the part where nothing is set up and thinking...wait she invited you to come to her wedding a month before it happen...who else thinks the wedding planner flaked?? And this woman was like who do I know has type A personality. Lol you are so sweet!!!
WHEW! I’ll never regret that I just eloped at a courthouse.
Same ✅
Great story.....highly entertaining and educational....thanks
Girl... The wedding things youve been through is too much. LOL
Hahaha fingers crossed that my own wedding goes okay😂
She should of got a more all inclusive venue lol
OMG! What a horrendous wedding nuptials & reception! Obviously the bride & groom are terribly disorganized.
In my home country wedding planning starts 1year in advance and all the weddings are so grand with all details well taken care of.
Great story
I think “10 pm oyster bar” is the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard, let alone at a wedding lol
Any worries with covid19 and wedding cancellations? Mine not til August but still pretty nervous.
Yes ours is in August as well and I am already coming up with possible times to postpone to. I got a message from my venue today and she’s pretty confident we’ll be okay, but has suggested getting insurance and she’s going to work with us if this doesn’t slow down.
My wedding is in May and we are looking at cancelling ours due to COVID-19. I’m so upset.
My boyfriends sister was supposed to get married mid-April and has a bridesmaid who lives halfway around the world, so she has to postpone until travel is okay at the least
You rock! I have tried my hand at Toastmasters and public speaking, it is so tough! But you nail everything!
Wow... as someone planning their wedding this was so entertaining to listen to! You can not have a wedding during a meal time without serving a meal! Wedding/event panning 101 🥴 I am not serving a meal at my micro wedding, just cake and champagne. My wedding is from 2-4 and this is clearly stated on the invitation.
I can just imagine a bunch of guests ordering pizza & tacos! LMAO
There are 3 things that will make a wedding memorable in my opinion
1. FOOD
2 Music/Ambiance
3 Bride's Dress
I totally agree!! Like wow, the nerve lol.
I've been to a cocktail style wedding, but they made it very clear on the invitation and their website. They also started the ceremony at 7pm, so ppl had the chance to grab an early dinner.
I think the couple went to eat then came back lol
That makes no sense how they have plate settings and a seating chart when you have no actual meal. I have been to a few weddings where they don’t have a meal selection option on the wedding invite because everyone is eating the same thing whether it’s a beef or chicken selection and if they are vegetarian they have are able to inform servers or it’s already something that is indicated on the invite but to just straight up not have food but have a small cheese and cracker selection followed by a late night of oysters is weird. I have also heard of people not having a traditional sit down meal but just having it all be passed appetizers by servers or having a appetizer table where guest go up to as they wish as food which makes sense
Lol this made my day!!
My husband and I hadn't been married for too long (my 2nd marriage) and we went to a wedding for the daughter of one of my good friends. The reception was way too crowded for the small space, you could barely get between the tables. It took so long for the bride and groom to get there, and the bride was so rumpled and red-looking, it didn't take much imagination to figure out what they stopped for on the way...and I don't think it included pictures -- at least I hope not :-/ And even once they got there, you could tell it was still going to be awhile til food was served. We left and ate out.
I love a casual all-hands-in wedding...but not like that! My sis-in-law coordinated my wedding and a bunch of family & friends helped with set up & tear down, but it was all planned and timed out! 😳
I get maby having a wedding that is less formal in the sense that it’s not really a formal sit down dinner that’s either played and served individually or as a buffet but instead choosing to have it either as a more you can make a plate of food off of a buffet when you want and their not being such a formal seating arrangement or just having appetizers either being served by wait staff or on a buffet but should be plentiful that your guests don’t feel hungry but however you choose to provide food you NEED to provide enough to allow guests eat and feel satisfied
People drop serious cash to be at your wedding, clothes, grooming, transportation, child care, and gifts, you gotta feed em
My wedding had a buffet with like 12 options, from seafood, to lasagna, chicken, pork, different salads, potatoes casserole, a cheese and fruit bar, a dessert bar, 3 kinds of rice, chicken tenders for the kids lol
The decoration part was literally my wedding lol 😂 it was a beautiful mess, we planned it in like a month lol but I’m happy with how it all turned out. I also dropped my husbands ring bc I was so nervous 🤦🏻♀️❤️
My mom and her best friend are wedding/event planners (I help them frequently) and now I am planning my own wedding, this whole event made me cringe 😂😬 and NO FOOD😱 with an open bar scares me
Its the marriage thats most important and the party LOL
About the time that D.J. started that music, I'd have grabbed my coat, and any kids I had brought, and gone home. EFF that!
No wedding breakfast what the hell 😂😂😂😂
My jaw dropped at the food part 😭
It sounds like the bride and groom didn't have much of a budget for the wedding either that or the just really didn't care about planning a decent wedding that people would enjoy.
I’d say based on the venue we were in (Portland ME is so expensive) and the open bar, they definitely had the budget but just spent it SO weirdly lol. Open bars we’ve been quoted were around 5K in the same area, and our catering for 80 people was half that price. They definitely could’ve done food
😲 no food!? 😂
It. Was. BAD 😂
