My grandson (3 yrs old) was the ring-bearer at my son’s wedding. First he took the antique hanky off the pillow. After that was put back together, they sewed the ring to the pillow. The bridesmaids had spread some flimsy white material for the bride to walk on, and grandson tore holes in it. My daughter was so embarrassed! This was before the actual ceremony. His dad paddled him a few times, which made it worse. All during the ceremony he was disruptive. Everyone tried to ignore him, but my daughter was crying with embarrassment.
Yes. Two friends of ours were going to get married, set a date. The groom's family did not like the date, and they actually changed it to a holiday to suit one sister. The day of the wedding, the groom had the flu and could barely stand. The groom's mom had packed his clothes for him for his honeymoon. On honeymoon, the groom was so sick, all he did was sleep. Today, they are divorced.
The caterers at my Sister's first wedding. The food should have been enough to serve 100 adults plus approximately 20 kids. Should also have had full table service. Once we arrived back to the venue to be seated, we found the caterers had been and gone & left the food out on 2 tables (some of it including seafood). Initially we assumed that they had left to bring the rest of the food back (it was outside catering). However, after an hour or so of waiting, people getting restless, kids getting hungry, I spoke to the bar manager and asked if he'd heard anything. It turns out that the food that was there, was the ONLY food they had provided. I counted the bread baps, just to get an idea of what I had to sort out and there was only 60. In the words of one of the guests "Huh, not even enough for a sandwich". There were also no servers either, so myself, as Sister to the Bride and Maid of Honour along with the other 2 bridesmaids and the best man and 4 groomsmen had to serve what little there was. It had cost £4,000 sterling for this, my sister was in bits, half of the wedding party didn't eat and it was ruined. Looking back it was probably an omen as they didn't make it to their 1st wedding anniversary.
My mother nearly got me to ruin a wedding. Convinced me to dress in all-black funeral attire because "a white shirt and black waistcoat will make you look like a waiter." I had a panic attack about dressing for a funeral at a wedding and refused to go, forcing my mother to also not go because apparently a 20-something needs to be supervised at home like a child?
I was uninvited to a wedding years ago because it happened to be the same day as my birthday! I was told the day, said, "Cool, I'm turning 20-something on the same day!" and then was told a few days later I couldn't go. I asked why and they said the bride was "inconsolable" because now it wasn't HER day. Like, sorry for being born? I wasn't too upset, tbh, since they were newish friends and obviously didn't know me very well.
It's funny to think that I started to watch Charlotte when I was just chilling after work, then I got pregnant and watched a lot during my whole pregnancy and now I'm feeding my 6 months old baby while still watching her. Girl you're definitely part of my life x
@@CharlotteDobre Baby feetsies are the best. I used to love kissing my son's tiny feet and make him giggle. Now he's 30 and I don't even want to be in the same room with his stanky hobbit feet.
If you don't like the conditions of the wedding: no kids, dress up, no black or white, don't like the food/venue/company, etc. DON'T GO. Just because no one "confronts" you about breaking the rules doesn't mean they're not irked you did.
@Valatrix no black, white, red, or orange (depending on ethnicity) No designer, glitz, costumes, plainclothes or pajamas The basic rule of thumb, nobody’s here to see you, so don’t dress like they are.
We flew to Vegas for my daughters wedding. We carried her dress as a carryon the lovely flight attendant actually took it and hung it up in a cupboard for her as my daughter was planning on holding it in her lap for fear of it getting lost/ruined. Lol. We tried to tip her but she wouldn't take it as she said she was getting married in Vegas soon and was trying to gather good karma for her wedding by helping every bride and groom she had on flights lol.
Oh the ring pillow thing. We got smart after a ring bearer lost a set at a wedding. We tied fake set to pillow for them while best man had real ones in his pocket. This is standard for all weddings in our family now lol. The little boy actually swallowed the rings. Both his and hers. Right before the wedding one of the guests had metal detector and was searching the grass(cuz of course we are all outside) Then my mom saw he was chewing on everything near him. Asked the guy to scan Mr man. Lol. Yup a beep beep from his tummy. They still got married that day and since the little one was the brides son they didn't wait too long but I do know they had him xrayed the next day to make sure he had eaten them both. Both were recovered a couple days after wedding. Super funny but geez 🤣
@@punkybrewstar83 it could've fallen off as the vehicle with the luggage on it was moving and fell out of the suitcase just in front of the back tires or something. It's doubtful anyone wouldn't notice a large white dress on the ground if it was in front of them.
My sister got drunk at my wedding, started a major fight with my mom, and I was about to snap. My husband picked her up like a sack of potatoes without saying a word, she’s 4’11 he’s 6’1 so it looked like he was carrying a toddler, made her leave with her bf, and everyone laughed so hard and we enjoyed the rest of our night. I love my man😂
When I was around 4 my step aunt had a wedding in which my 3 year older brother was to be the ring bearer, She told me she didnt have a place for me in the wedding since she already had a flower girl but promised if anything was to come up that I could be the flower girl so I was a little excited! I even practiced during rehearsal just in case. Come the day of the wedding I am dressed in the color of her wedding and dress she (step aunt) chose. She gets a call that the flower girl is sick so they wont be able to make it ! I was like I got this, bridesmaids start getting me ready and I am all set to go . My step aunt comes out looks at me and with the snottiest most disgusted look on her face says " Yeah not happening shes not cute enough to be in my wedding, and it wouldnt be appropriate for a bastard to walk down the aisle with her" I was heartbroken. Her bridesmaids were even like wtf. Well I was hurt and angry so when we lined up to send them off everyone had gotten these little sachets of rice that we were suppose to open and toss as the bride and groom walked by. I had collected about 10 of them and knew I was suppose to open them before throwing them but I didnt . I got her in the face ( direct eye hit) a few times and the groom in his junk. She had a black on eye on their honeymoon :) yeah I should feel bad but seriously she is a vile woman still to this day
In my opinion she got what she deserved. She shouldn't have given you false hope and called you ugly, that's just so rude. And impressive aim on your part🙂 Don't feel bad about it. Oh and this made me giggle so much, i love a petty revenge story😅😄
When my brother was getting married, one of the first things I did was get my mom to find me someone to take care of my 1 year old during the service. I was coming in from out of town and was INSANELY over protective of my child (my husband and I both had VERY bad experiences with sitters when we were kids) BUT I did not want to ruin the wedding with a random cry, so we got someone to watch our baby during the service (no problems having them at the reception) and paid them ourselves. So imagine MY annoyance (I don't know how the bride or groom felt, but I imagine they weren't happy) when ANOTHER GUEST'S baby screamed through a good portion of the short service. I'm probably the asshole on this, but I don't think babies or small children (too young to be expected to sit still and be quiet for an extended time) belong at most wedding ceremonies. All's good at the reception, but who wants to be responsible for someone's wedding video being unusable because they can't edit around your kid's SHRIEKS?
Yes! This was how we did our wedding, and I would be totally understanding if we were asked to not bring our kids. Weddings cost a lot of money and people want recordings etc, that can be ruined by a screaming child.
You are not an asshole. You're right on point - kids HATE church nonsense, I personally think its abusive of parents to drag kids to church at all. Especially for such events - its puts kids in shitty position as well... Only because parents are selfish
We went to my brother in laws’ wedding a couple years ago, my son was about 3 at the time. He was a legit little monster in crowds and open spaces. My bro in law asked that *just for the ceremony*, which he was paying thousands to have videoed, photographed, etc, could I take my son just outside until the ceremony and pictures were done, and then we would come back for the reception and more photos. I happily walked my son straight out to the car, and sat there for 45 minutes. I wouldn’t want my ceremony wrecked up by some punk kid, so I made sure to stay far away until things were no longer being filmed. If someone asks you not to have your kid there, don’t bring your kid. If you don’t want to leave you kid with someone, stay home. You can watch the videos and see pictures later👍🏻
Dude I've seen and read so many horror stories. If you bring your kid, secity ain't letting you in. If you wear white, security ain't letting you in. I'm not even going to be worried about it.
Americans are weird. Europeans would never not have kids there. I was 2 and talking throughout my whole parents wedding and entertained the whole church. Everyone still laughs about it watching the videos. 😂 😂 It's weird how you want ultra perfect Hollywood weddings and make such a big fuzz about it. I mean yeah, when a kid is yelling around it's not too nice for the ceremony and I'd also bring away my child but in our culture we'd never tell somebody to leave their kids alone and not bring them.
Finally. A responsible, respectful parent. I salute you. Most little ones are a handful at that age. It's our responsibility to do what's needed to not ruin anyone else's parties, belongings, etc.
4:55 I saw that episode of airline. So on the plus side she was on her way home from her wedding and they gave her anything she wanted to replace/repair the dress and make her feel whole. They were really amazing and the bride was a total lady about the situation. She was actually not super crazy about it. She reacted but didn't go bouncing off the walls. At least she already had the pics and wedding done.
@@kathembree9369 my comment had nothing to do with that. I didn't justify their comment in any way. Out of that whole thing I wasn't gonna waste my energy on one person being negative. 🤷🏾♀️ I make it a point to not focus on negative in any aspect of my life because that's not a way to live. I only commented on the positive part of this story because it makes life easier if you look at the positive things sometimes. Plus I saw the entire episode and honestly I think there was some franken-clips going on there.
@@michelec5224 oh no you got me all wrong. I wasn't trying to imply anything. I just stated it because it stood out to me on the video. I'm glad she was a respectful and understanding of the incident but that part really ticked me off since they assumed she'd be the opposite. I'm apologize for the misunderstanding. I appreciate the positivity in your words and commend you got it.
@@kathembree9369 my apologies. That's the bad thing about the written word, we can't hear each other's inflection. I can't wait for the day where our comments are voice comments 🤞🏾, I know it's coming 😂
At my wedding many years ago new wife and I were walking out of the church and family members were tossing rice on us and I had an older cousin jumped right in front of us and pelted the rice right in our faces on purpose. My wife had rice stuck in her eyes and ears. I look back and think if people do that type of thing at a wedding, it's due to not learning how to behave at formal get-togethers, lack of manners and common courtesy, no respect and/or intentionally expressing their passive aggressiveness towards you but acting like it was an accident.
Kudos to the groom with the straight right to the cake smearer! 🤛🏼 What is up with people abusing cake?! Can we please normalize polite behavior at someone else’s f-ing wedding?!?!
@@colleennikstenas4921 even if he’s on a diet, it’s inexcusable! 😉That cake is innocent! It won’t make him fat or diabetic or anything if he just leaves it alone. 😂 But f around with it and catch a stiff right hand from a pissed off groom and whatever savage pettiness the upset bride can devise which is most likely infinitely more destructive than the punch. 😂🤣
Yup! My brother brought his gf even though she wasn’t invited and we had a whole heart to heart (he traveled to Montreal from uk just to discuss it and eventually agreed). He shows up a couple days before again, with her!!! My moms like “you can just tell them she can’t come” um ya I already did. And now it’s so close to the day and why should this be on me so I cause the drama and look bad? Not fair. Still bitter. They ended up marrying (eloping) and divorced about a year later. Ya.
As the mother of both a young boy and girl, these crazy mother/MIL wedding stories are insane. I can't imagine hurting my child or future in-laws that way.
As a mother of an 11 year old boy, I have already vowed to my “hopeful” future daughter in law that I will not wear a wedding dress to their wedding and a whole bunch of other stuff!
Seriously… how hateful and self centered do you have to be to fake a fall in front of everyone to drag down your future daughter-in-law. Who probably will give birth to your grandchildren… who you may not be able to see ever after pulling a messed up move like that.. sigh.
@@Emcobb2 so near all that mud, I would have come up with handfuls. Want a scene? Let's make a scene. Someone is going home crying and it won't be me. Grrr.
A few years ago, we were invited to a child free wedding in August, and I just had our son in May. Since he was only 3 months old and still breastfeeding exclusively, I asked if I could bring him since I was his only source of food. The couple said no and told us that even their family members weren’t allowed to bring children. I understood and since the venue was 30 minutes away from my house, my mom stayed with the baby and I would drive back and forth throughout the night to nurse him. Once we got to the wedding, I noticed there were several other children there, including a baby who looked to be older than my infant. I didn’t ask about the kids because my husband and I made the provisions to not be “those guests”, but the couple brought it up on their table visit and they said that they made a few last minute decisions to allow some of the kids to come. During that conversation, they made it clear that only those children would be allowed and that mine would not. I drove back and forth 3 times that night and I was super peeved. I’m happy that I didn’t break their rule, but kind of upset that they allowed others to bring their children and I couldn’t bring my breastfeeding son who was still relying solely on me for nourishment.
That's pretty crappy of them. If you just don't want kids under a certain age at the wedding, just say so (since it seems like that might be the case if your little one wasn't allowed, but correct me if I'm wrong.) Don't make it seem like a completely child free wedding and then go "haha, whoops, we changed our minds, but not for you."
@@jacyevans It seemed like the plan was to be a totally childfree wedding, but oh well. I’d been carrying that around for a while, it’s good to finally let it go! And we’re not close with that couple anymore, for other reasons.
We silly stringed our friends/family when we left our wedding. Everyone got those cute wedding bubbles while they waited for us and we just ran down the line with silly string flying 😆
I am TIRED of people not respecting the no children wedding rules. We kind of had that rule, more specifically for babies. Nothing against babies, I have two of my own, but with a baby in the ceremony someone will have to leave and end up missing part of it. This is what happened with mine. One of my second cousins who isn't the most classy of people, still brought her baby. Her grandma who is also my aunt whom I love, ended up having to walk out during the ceremony with the baby (not sure why it's own mother couldn't). I was crushed my aunt missed most of the ceremony. DON'T BRING YOUR KIDS TO A WEDDING IF YOU ARE ASKED NOT TO. GEEZ.
What’s the point of respecting the “child-free” rule when the people who set the rule don’t even follow it? The exceptions to the rule were the small children on ONLY the BRIDES side of the family. That’s just fucking hypocritical.
@@agentwolf5305 It seems like there was only a handful of children attending the wedding, probably that were in the wedding party itself (ring bearer, flower girl) and these children had rehearsed the event without causing disruptions. I think their rules are completely understandable and reasonable.
@@notsogoodgamer2334 excuse me? He didn't need to say anything inv said CHILD FREE He didn't said its okay so she had no right to take the kid. Absence of "no" doesn't mean "yes" people who don't know that creep me out as hell
When I was a chef we always used to say there’s a better atmosphere at a funeral than a wedding. There’s far fewer falling outs, people are nicer to each other and better behaved…unless of course it’s an Irish funeral.
Oh my family is just the most nonchalant group you'd ever meet in both instances. My cousins? No they're pretty picky and specific when it comes to how things need to be at their weddings. Everyone else though is as follows: * Getting married? Quickest ceremony you'd ever see followed by hours of just talking to each other, drinking, and having fun. I mean maybe 20 minute ceremony tops. * Death in the family? Also the quickest funeral you'd ever see. People come, we do the stuff the person who passed away wanted to do, and we make things lighthearted with family stories. And then we go get lunch and have fun. Maybe a 30 minute funeral if I'm being honest. We process emotions and events in a weird way, and I know we do. But we're very practical about stuff and just want to have fun in our short lives.
@@matchaaalie a drunken party, like a really messy drunk party with people in suits. Even the priest gets drunk quite often. (And Irish tempers, so some fisticuffs.)
@@matchaaalie I think they're talking about a wake. My family is a mixed bag, but we do wakes. My dad and uncle got us thrown out of a restaurant for being too loud with their toasts and stories when my paternal grandmother passed. We then went on to hit the local liqour store, someone bought a plastic Viking helmet, and we invented a rule that you could only make a toast or tell a story if you were wearing the helmet. It kept the noise down a bit, until we ended up with two happily drunk Scots-Irishmen standing on chairs and one of them was wearing the helmet. I don't think our family is welcome in that part of Iowa any more. Happy drunks in my family make for good stories. The wake for my Dad ended up involving a Mexican restaurant, a trip to Krogers and the issuance of a "special license" for my uncle to ride in one of the mobile scooterchairs while being pushed by members of the family. There was also a martini making class with certificates (quickly computer generated) handed out for those who could make a good martini. We had the Viking helmet and The Viking Helmet Rule, so we didn't get thrown out of the restaurant.
Wedding based content is what got me hooked on Charlotte, now here I am about a year after finding her videos, 10 months married, and thankful my wedding didn't turn out like any of these people.
At my wedding, my wife’s stepmom (who we barely knew) shoved the cake in our faces just like that one video. She was drunk before the ceremony, stole people drinks from their hands, harassed people the entire night, etc. Then while we were cleaning the cake off our dresses, faces, and out of our hair, she proceeded to yell at us about the fact that we would open her gift the second she asked us too. It’s been a year and a half since and I haven’t seen her and she still hasn’t apologized.
The way the first couple reacted when the guy recording fell and probably fucked up the whole shot of the first dance was just too adorable for words! Smiling and giggling while still lovingly holding each other in their arms and faces close together, just their foreheads touching, shooting each other a look like "well this'll be a funny story to tell the kids someday!" ❤
Anything that purposefully ruins hair, dress/suit, or makeup is 1,000% unacceptable! Also, I attended a (very expensive) wedding once at a hotel, and the fire alarm went off during the vows... at least we can laugh about it now, but it was pretty bad on the day.
“No children” isn’t just for the adults. You know how kids love sitting still in a church while some guy reads passages from the Bible in front of hundreds of people they don’t know? Oh they don’t…? That’s correct, they don’t.
@@SingingSealRiana You are the rare exception, and I’m glad you got to see so many weddings. Most kids struggle though, and it’s on their parents to figure that one out before attending.
@@SingingSealRianathat's what I was thinking too. Loved watching the weddings as a child. And ours were catholic ceremonies so we got the whole Mass during the wedding😂
My son was the ring bearer in my brother's wedding. Everything was going to plan, he started down the aisle like he was supposed to. Then he realized that there were a lot of people there. He. Lost. His. Crap. He screamed, threw the pillow towards my brother and his bride, and ran crying back to me in the vestibule where I had been watching. I took him just outside of the door and held him until he calmed down and then we went back in and he sat in my lap for the rest of the ceremony. My family being as crazy and weird as we are, weren't fazed. Everyone that had been there was laughing about it. Little snot was about 3 or 4 years old at the time.
I was about 4 during a cousin's wedding, I've always been a tomboy and wanted to wear some very ugly boy boots to it, but my mom wouldn't let me. So I was very upset. During the ceremony at the church, I looked behind and saw an older girl wearing very beautiful boots, I was livid and shouted very loudly "How come SHE can wear boots but I can't?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When I was a toddler I was always picked as a flower girl at all my mums friends weddings, I remember one specific one that she had got me ready for, all dressed, hair done and just needed me to wait for her to change. My bestie across the street ran to tell me there were tadpoles in her little pond... Long story short, I caught tadpoles and went to tell my mum, VERY proud of myself. Absolutely stinking, with green algae all over me. BUT I GOT THE TADPOLES! 😂
This is a lesson that teaches you that you should probably have the adult get ready first, THEN get the kid ready and go before they have a chance to find chaos XD
Story time! I was a bridesmaid in my SIL's wedding, my husband was a groomsman and our (barely) 1 year old was a flower girl. She was being pulled down the aisle in a wagon. My MIL was to hold her during the ceremony but my daughter had some extreme separation anxiety so I told her if she gets fussy AT ALL, then bring her up to me and I would just hold her. She never listens and thought she could handle things. My SIL had a videographer. In the video, you can hear my daughter screaming at the top of her lungs during the vows. Like, just as loudly as the bride and groom through their microphones. No one ever said anything about it but I was livid and feel like it ruined their video that I'm sure they spent at least a thousand dollars on... at least they were the ones that wanted us all in the wedding, but if someone does say no kids, don't take your dang kids lol
It did ruin the video and their vows. The moment your baby started crying and the MIL didn't move to bring you the baby, you could have just as easily walked the 4 steps to the front row and picked up the baby from her yourself.
I can't count the number of weddings we didn't attend when they said "no kids, please". We didn't have anyone to babysit for us when our kids were little so we just sent our regrets that we couldn't attend along with a congratulatory card with money. No one ever complained about us not being there and my husband was ecstatic that he didn't have to dress up.
@@leadelbois8151 not all kids are fun. Some are horrible. Also, if I want to swear and discuss adult matters I don't want someone telling me to mind my language at an adult event.
@@Blip0000 in our family kids are included in all get togethers unless specified “no kids “. Most of the weddings I’ve attended kids are usually there for ceremony but not reception unless it’s set up to be more casual, if the kids were part of the wedding party their parents usually arrange for them to be discreetly picked up by a sitter after pictures and food so parents can relax and socialize and kids aren’t overtired and cranky.
My in-laws did everything they could to ruin ours, from pitching a fit and skipping out on the rehearsal dinner (we didn’t want them smoking at the table), to being late getting to the church, complaining about the ceremony, and disappearing during the reception to take their own family pics away from the church. I got the last laugh though, my hubs and I have been married 25 happy years, and they live 2000 miles away. 😂
Thank you for your humor and content. It’s been a rough few months, and you’ve gotten me through some really hard days. My mom died in April, and my fiancé and I split up last week. You’re the brightest light in my life right now. I always look forward to watching your videos; you bring a smile to my face and make my heart feel lighter. ❤️ thank you again
The men who tried to put cake on the groom and the other guy who tried to put it on both the groom and the bride!!! Oh my gosh the way that would literally ruin the entire wedding so fast. I wouldn’t expect any less from the groom who punched that guy. That was beyond messed up to do at someone’s wedding. The cake cutting isn’t for anyone else but the bride and groom anyways! Why are people like this ?!? 😩
Dude that got punched was so wasted. That's why he was able to recover from the punch so fast to try and come back before being dragged away. I'm guessing these guys are just drinking way too much and end up not being in the their right mind by that point. Then again they were probably never in their right mind if they thought getting wasted at a wedding(let alone a friend's wedding) was a good idea.
So in that last video with the tiny ring bearer... My brother was the ring bearer to my parents wedding. He was 2. Mom and Dad knew it was a catastrophe waiting to happen so they actually had the rings tightly tied to the cushion. Which was a good call, because guess who skipped down the aisle, swinging both arms up and down the whole way? LOL
I always assumed the ribbons on ring bearer pillows were put there specifically to tie down the rings. I don't think I've ever seen one of those pillows WITHOUT those ribbons, come to think of it.
“Oh and she Black too she’s gonna flip out” 😂 I’m a Black woman and and I felt that to my very soul, hell hath no fury like a sister whose money is being f’ed with
One of the reasons my husband and I allowed kids at our reception was that my sister organized activities for them. Bubbles, coloring, that kind of thing. Worked a treat, and they weren't bugging their parents or other guests.
My baby brother was six weeks old when I got married. He screamed through almost the entire ceremony. At the time it was annoying but now it's just a funny memory. I did threaten to hire a baby to scream during his wedding last year though lol.
Sorry, sorry- I read that as your brother's kid. LOL. A six week old just waltzing out of the room, oop. The spirit of my reply remains, why didn't anyone take him out.
We sat with newlyweds while having dinner in Venice. They told us how they eloped because their families couldn't get along and drove them crazy. They were so sweet and we paid for their dinner. I thought they did the right thing by eloping because I did it before and didn't want drama either.
I realize that my personal experience with things isn’t everyone’s but I wanted to address the whole “she told them on her RSVP that she would be bringing her kid” crowd. The RSVP is not the proper forum for that communication. Our RSVPs went to our caterer for a headcount on the food and did NOT come back to us directly. Even if it had, we would’ve only been looking for totals, not reading everyone’s chicken scratch which may be anything from congratulations to dietary restrictions/preferences to a change in the expectations of the wedding ceremony (wtf?! Who does that?!). If she had no intention of leaving her child with a stranger (a perfectly reasonable preference for a parent) and was expecting an exception to be made for her, she should’ve communicated that directly via a forum that allows for a back and forth exchange; phone call, text, FaceTime/Zoom, or face to face (less likely since they lived 6 hours apart which is more reason to be absolutely, crystal clear on this). The bride and groom made their feelings known clearly so any change to that should be communicated at least as clearly and not rely up the old adage of “silence is acquiescence” (do people still believe that these days?!). I am now down off of my soapbox and return it for someone else to use. 😉😂
yes that was just their feeble attempt to cover their ass. But the bride even said she didn't want to cause drama. So it just puts them in an awkward position if they knew ahead of time. It's just bad manners all around.
I can't help but wonder if they knew they were the non-confrontational type and figured that they knew they wouldn't say anything or maybe not even get the message and if they did object when they arrived they could go, "But I mentioned it on the RSVP and no one said no!" I don't think it's bad to ask for an exception under the right circumstances, but it must be verbal (or text) and they must be willing to accept no for an answer. I think they were trying to be sneaky about it by only mentioning it on the RSVP and not actually asking them outright.
I was the one that sadly ruined my eldest brother's wedding. The elder sister of my SIL was a nightmare and my SIL sadly put her in charge of everything, she was disrespectful AF and everyone had had it up to here for her behavior and some people were even saying she was intentionally sabotaging the wedding because her younger sister was marrying before her. Long story short she insulted my mother and direct elder brother in my presence and I did not hesitate to give her a dirty slap right there in the center of the wedding arena. A mini fight broke because everyone was already agitated. I felt a little bad(just a little bit) about the whole thing cos my SIL was a sweet girl, and I should have held my anger. But that b*tch deserved everything she got.
If you've ever watched the airline workers handling baggage on the tarmac, loading it onto and off of the plane, dropping and destroying a wedding dress is not surprising. It's also exactly why I would never fly with a pet and have them checked. Just like luggage goes missing or gets destroyed, so do pets. When I i learned about that, it unlocked a new fear 😅
The coal-shovel story, no matter how many times I hear it, has got to be my favorite "meet cute" story on the internet. Like, imagine they ended up staying together. One hell of a "how I met your mother" story.

We had kids at our wedding, I personally know way too many people with kids & invited all the babysitters to the wedding lol But I completely get if someone doesn't want them at their wedding, people need to either accept the rules or don't go. My godmother doesn't really attend events if her kids can't go, but she never assumes she's exempt.
Yeah I can understand ppl with kid free weddings tho it’s nothing I would personally do. I love kids so they would be just as important to my special day even if they start crying
"But I completely get if someone doesn't want them at their wedding" I don't. I can't remember ever attending a wedding that was childfree. Children are usually sat for their own table, and they have a great time. They don't cause too much trouble (or at least not more than expected) and the parents always look after them. Also, if you don't bring kids to weddings & other events, how/when are they going to learn how to behave? The older kids (around 10-12) are usually already "veterans", and the younger ones are figuring out the rules just by being near them. Having a childfree wedding is causing more problems on the long run. IMHO.
szepi79 if people are not able to teach their kids proper behaviour/manners or make rules clear beforehand, it would be one more reason why the kids should not attend. one person's/ couple's event is not automatically a learning ground for other persons' children. it's an event for the person/ couple and not for parents to have other kids teach their children how to behave.
@@szepi79 it's understandable if you don't like the concept of child free events, we all have different opinions and we can always agree to disagree. The most important thing is we respect each other's opinions and not force said opinions on other people.
@@MidniteSpectre I didn't force my opinion on anyone. I said I don't understand child free weddings. I didn't call anyone names, I didn't use any derogative terms for anyone or the habit itself, and frankly, I don't understand why I needed to be reminded to be respectful. Can you show me where did I show a lack of respect?
Anybody who, under the influence of too much alcohol, thinks everybody's gonna laugh at them ruining a wedding cake and potentially a wedding dress or tuxedo, should have their drinking privileges reduced to those of a minor, regardless of their calendar age.
I get rather annoyed that a lot of parents think everyone else should make allowances for the fact that they have kids. they need to understand that the world doesnt revolve around them and no kids means no kids.
My son was 6 months old when we were invited to the wedding of a dear friend I’d known since preschool. We got a babysitter for the day because that’s what you do. Your kid, your responsibility. Either get a sitter or stay home!
At my aunt’s wedding, my sister and I were flower girls. We were 3 and 6. I being older walked all princessy and did my job. My sister, on the other hand, takes maybe 5 steps and essentially says “f*** this” and just dumps the whole basket right then and there and went and sat with our parents. Efficiency. 😂
Used to be a wedding planner in Maine, USA. Bride and groom had two amazing prof photos taken on the river in Boston, MA blown up like 3 or 4 feet by 2 feet for guests to sign, they were amazing, no joke. Brides late teen/early twenties brothers friends who were not invited crashed the reception and drew the classic glasses, blacked out teeth, etc on the giant photos in SHARPIE on the pictures (both of them) of the bride and groom!!!! IT WAS BAD... That was 14ish years ago...I have been working in life insurance now for 10 years, it's much easier.
I had a child free wedding with the exception of a junior bridesmaid and the ring bearer. One of my family members who was also a guest decided to bring her child despite not telling me beforehand and not getting permission. While in the end the child was an angel and I was glad she was there, the disrespect and lack of consideration for my wishes was something I never forgot. That particular family member also ended up being a no show to her own brother’s wedding despite telling everyone she was going to be there even up until the very day of the wedding.
@@memawknowsbest4978 I see that you believe that everyone should think, feel and act the same as you about things such as weddings. Perhaps tell us all how funerals, graduations, anniversaries are supposed to go. I’m interested just so that you can set others who feel differently from you, straight, as to their incorrect thoughts/beliefs.

@@memawknowsbest4978 here's the thing when you are invited to a wedding. You should send a gift if you don't go. But most people like you don't have the class or understanding of what happens with a wedding. It's not your call to have children or not and you respect the request of the bride and groom. It's not just what you want when you want it.
So for the airport one, we have to drive the luggage from the plane to the baggage claim belt. We almost always pull multiple carts of bags, and unfortunately, there's a chance that a bag could fall off a cart for a few reasons. If a bag falls off one of the first carts, there's a chance it could fall between the carts and get caught under the wheels. It's most certainly unintentional, but still terrible.
What the video didn't show was that this was after the wedding had already taken place. I get it can still be upsetting to not have the dress any more but to completely flip out is just over the top.
@@cmenowlandreth thank god for that. If they were just a day or two out from the wedding (which is what I had assumed they were flying for) and the dress was wrecked I’d be PISSED. It’s impossible to get that dress replaced, including alterations in a day’s notice. I’d raise Cain.
@@cmenowlandreth it could have been hired. Not a bought and owned one. Sometimes people also BORROW wedding dresses or inherit them from other family members. But if you'd just paid way too much for a dress you wore once, you'd be kind of upset too. People sometimes plan to get them altered for other sisters' or cousins' weddings; you just don't know. One woman I know got hers made into christening robes for her kids.
@@cmenowlandreth If someone pays hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for a wedding dress and an airport ruins it due to their own carelessness, they absolutely are within their rights to "flip out," regardless of if its before or after the wedding.
I can understand the wedding dress getting dropped, and maybe even getting run over - but he said the dress was in a dress bag - to leave tyre marks on the dress means that the bag had to be torn open or the dress removed and then dropped and run over. [] where, when and why did this stupid smashing-the-cake-into-faces start? pointless waste of good cake at best, aggressive assault at worst. [] that hair-change MiL: I'm surprised she didn't wear a white dress as well. If I'd been on the ground with her on a river bank, one of us would have ended up going in, and it wouldn't have been me.
@@suzi_mai Having my hair pulled is a trigger for me , even if it's done as a "prank" - when it's done maliciously, as this obviously was in this case, then I would express my displeasure in no uncertain terms.
What I think happened with the dress in the bag was that it fell off of one of those big baggage carrier trains, and got ran over by several of the trailers. A garments bag vs a couple of large trailers full of luggage? That bag is getting ripped open and the dress is done for
I personally am great full that non of my older “aunties” and cousins had child free weddings since tiny Alex absolutely adored the grandeur of it all and took her duties as flower girl very serious, but I can totally understand where ppl come from when they don’t want children there especially small ones. One of my cousins sons did once cry during another relatives ceremony but one of the “Grannies” was on baby duty, meaning she was on standby to go outside with a fuzzy kid so the disruption was only short. Of course you need ppl willing to miss parts of the wedding if you go this route. On the other hand its nice to see how proud kids are that they were at big family moments even if they can’t remember it themselves. They have the pictures and stories and feel included. It’s nice too. You just need to figure out what’s more important to you and of course for your guests to respect your decisions.
If the bride and groom say they don't want kids at the wedding, it should be pretty clear that you shouldn't bring kids to the wedding!!! And while it's understandable that you're uncomfortable leaving your kid with a babysitter, you shouldn't disrespect the couple's wishes and bring your kid anyway. If you can't respect the no kids rule, then you just shouldn't go 🤷♀️
"Mom , How did you meet Dad?" "I dropped a drink on him and he hit me with a hot coal shovel . We then spent the night together in a sleeping bag" - Love at first fight .
🤣 Right!?!? Or, I dragged her drunk ass off after she tried to pole dance at the reception and brought down the tent. We have been together ever since.
Almost the same thing happened at my wedding. We put on the invite NO CHILDREN and no one RSVPd that they were bringing their children. But at the wedding, my ex husband's (yes, unfortunately we made it 15 yrs but then divorced)cousin brought her 4 yr old. We were pretty upset. However, we wanted to have fun, so we just let it go. But it was very disrespectful and caused us trouble because many people who didn't bring their children thought we had given special permission to this one family, which we didn't. So we spent the next year fielding phone calls and gossip explaining what had happened. It was obnoxious!!!
I'd have made an announcement and said she brought the kid without permission at the wedding and to forward all complaints to her and ask her why she thought rules don't apply to her lol
If I were a guest at a wedding and had kids, I think I would've asked the kid's parents if they got an exception and not automatically assumed the bride and groom were at fault. Even if they lied and said that an exception was made for them, I would still give the bride and groom the benefit of the doubt and assume that if they did make an exception it was for a good reason. I don't get people being disrespectful and breaking the rules because they don't think the rules apply to them, but I also don't get people gossiping about it like that instead of just kindly asking about it if it really were that upsetting to them. I'm sorry that happened.
When one of my cousins got married, she and her first husband (we all hated him) had a child-free ceremony. Which is probably good, since it was a stuffy, long Catholic ceremony in one of those actually creepy cathedrals. But! My cousin also insisted that they rent a bouncy castle for the kids that would be welcome at the reception. The result? Happy, exhausted kids, and no crying to ruin the ceremony. Yeah, my sis and I got hella sunburned, but we didn’t care. And, the other benefit, we didn’t have to fuss about fancy dresses or anything.
I saw a sign posted on a tent pole at a wedding that said: “The tent poles are to hold up the tent, not for pole dancing. Please find another way to disappoint your father.” One of my two all time favorite signs. The other was in the reptile house at the Los Angeles Zoo: “Please don’t tap on the glass. What would you do if it broke?”
These made me feel indignant by proxy! My wedding way back when…so many kids in our families and a very small church and venue. “No kids” invitations sent out. Soon to be MIL sends a message “If my 2 grandchildren (groom’s niece and nephew) can’t attend then I’m not coming to the wedding and nor is anyone else on the groom’s side!” We ended up caving to the pressure and I spent a lot of my wedding day explaining to my family and friends why the “no kids” rule didn’t apply to them as we were threatened with a boycott. I’d also arranged for buttonholes only, so everyone got the same. Not the MIL - she grilled her firstborn into divulging the flowers and colour scheme and had her own corsage made up to match my bouquet. Irritated beyond measure, and we didn’t speak for over a year. Divorced 10+ years down the line, I’m content with my life and the ex-husband is looking for wife no. 3…so…yeah good luck with that!
That's what I was going to say. My mother made my veil, garter and ring pillow and that's literally the most important part of the damn pillow. What were they thinking?
At my wedding my then 4 months old son decided it was the perfect time to doo the doo, cook a butt burrito, make space for lunch etc. So mid ceremony he began grunting LOUDLY and it echoed in the whole church. 🤣 He was very pleased with himself, he had a big smile on the whole time! 😅
That story about the guy who unintentionally hurt the girl with the hot shovel and ended up sleeping with her could be the start of a romance novel. I hope we'll hear some crazy story about *their* wedding 😁
Hey Charlotte! My family boycotted my wedding and lied to me. I wanted a childfree wedding, the only kids allowed were my 2 boys (for which I had hired a babysitter to stay with them at the ceremony and reception - everything included for the babysitter). My family was pissed because I wouldn't let them bring their children, while my husband's family understood even though they were sad about this. When I realized that none of my family members were sending in their RSVPs, I called one by one... each one making an excuse and I caught them with lies in between. Sad to say, no one from my family showed up to my wedding (only my mom, dad, grandmother, and sisters). To make things worse, they all started talking crap about me to my parents and made themselves the victim. I haven't spoken with them after that... even though my wedding was just as we wanted, it still makes me sad when I see the pictures...
screw them, sweetie. your wedding, your rules. I know it is sad to look at the photos but, IMHO it is sadder that they use emotional abuse to get back at you for their entitledness. stay strong, keep your chin up and know the problem is not you, it is them.
@@memawknowsbest4978 My cousins who didn't show up, were all married before me and they all had NO children weddings... why would I think they would feel differently now that it was my wedding? The reason I decided to do a no-children wedding, was because at my baby shower, the kids were running around, throwing food and one punched me in the stomach (mind you I was 8 months pregnant).. and the mom's did nothing to control their kids, they just drank... no way did I want that repeated at our wedding.
Childfree is just the price parents have to pay. Some parents watch their kids, some let their kids run around like hellions screaming at the top of their lungs breaking things and expect other people to watch them (looking at someone specifically there). One person ruins it for everybody. No one should ever be judged because they don't want to have to deal with chaos on an already stressful day.
My mother-in-law changed her dress three times for my wedding and refused to show me what it looked like, which I didn't care by that point. She cried for weeks before the wedding because she was "losing" her son. These are the mild things that she did. MIL's really are something else.
I know a mil who intentionally knocked over the wedding cake at her son's wedding into the floor and then proceeded to fake a seizure but popped right up when someone said they were calling 911. Needless to say that marriage didn't last long.
I had to exclude children from my wedding during the pandemic because they counted in the headcount and, at the time, we could only have like 25 people. So I excluded lots of people, including children. And I have a HUGE family. I had a few people huff and puff but I know I would have been upset if someone insisted on bringing their child - not because I don't like their kid but because that could have been someone else I really wanted present for my wedding day but had to exclude due to capacity restrictions. That woman was definitely the AH!
I actually teared up for some of these brides and grooms... I can't imagine how devastated they felt during what was supposed to be their special happy day without any problems
For the AITA about bringing the baby to a wedding, I am almost positive that I have recently heard another Reddit reader go through the same story but from what I believe was the MIL's point of view. The judgment in both cases is in the same direction.
@@downhomesunset for a lot of pepole it's the only power they have in life. And they think it makes them special and expect people to defer to their needs over others.
Charlotte I thank you for your timing. Just had a embarrassing moment at work and I feel so bad right now so looking on UA-cam and seeing you posted helped my day get better.
I've had quite a few family weddings go awry (I have a LOT of cousins,) but the one that sticks out to me the most is when the bride laughed through the whole ceremony. As she was being walked down the aisle by her parents, you could hear her familiar giggle as she got closer and closer. She was so nervous that she continued to laugh through the whole ceremony as we all just kind of awkwardly laughed along with her. She was laughing so much that she struggled to get through the vows and I do. It didn't ruin the wedding as such, it just made it really awkward as no one had any idea how to react, and at the end of the ceremony everyone was kind of like "what just happened?"
My cousins brought their kids to a wedding that they were fully allowed to be at, but when they started losing it during the speeches the whole family left for the evening. Did it suck not having my cousin and his wife there? Sure. But they did the right thing for the group and I respected the hell out of it.
Don't check in your freaking wedding dress! I had to travel by plane with my dress and I had the wedding dress shop pack my dress into a carry-on suitcase. I just brought over the suitcase to the shop after my last fitting and they packed it beautifully, cushioned with paper between the layers of fabric. That suitcase never left my side :D The dress didn't even need steaming when I took it out.
Same! The flight attendant ask what the bag was and after we told her she jumped up and down with excitement. She allowed me to hold it and everytime she walked by she would smile!!!
I start work at 5 every day (UK time) and you post at 5.. Safe to say I spend the first 15 minutes of work in the toilet watching Charlotte before I start 😂
4:54 this is a clip from the "reality" series Airline from the A&E network and aired from Jan 2004 to Dec 2005. i remember that episode and as i recall the airline, Southwest Airlines paid for a new wedding dress.
Even though the wedding had already happened. I understand being upset that the dress was ruined so she couldn't keep it but her over the top reaction was to much.
The one where the groom's mom dyed her hair to match the bride--I expected for the bride to walk down the aisle and see the mom also wearing a long white dress.
If it's child free, you don't bring your kid. If you don't want to leave your kid, then you don't go. It's really simple, I'm a mum of four and I don't get this person's thought process Edited to add; she's definitely the AH
I’m a mom of 3. I’d relish the chance to go somewhere without my parasites (oops) I meant children. If they’re allowed, great, if not I’ll look for a sitter. If I can’t find or afford a sitter I’ll send a nice card and gift. Easy. But usually there’s a whole other side of family that would be thrilled to babysit.
At my first wedding (yes sadly I’ve had more than one) the preacher who married us ran into the cake table and knocked over the fountain that was under the cake. 🤣 sadly we did not get this on film and tech it didn’t ruin the wedding but it was funny. Blue water was everywhere. Several of the guests helped to mop everything up and the cake was perfectly fine. Thank goodness because a family friend made the cake for me as my wedding gift.
My year old granddaughter let ot a fart during my nieces wedding renewal vows. And i mean DURING the vows! You can hear it on the video.😂 My daughter and I tried to keep our laughing quiet and i think we did a good job of it.
One of the biggest red flags 🚩 ever in a partner is if they have jealous parents. Why are you jealous of your own child’s happiness? It’s so sad cause the person could be amazing but the parents just ruin it :/ edit: unless you can help get the person out of this situation. Im mostly referring to times when the partner doesn’t stand up against their unreasonable parents on their loved one’s behalf
I second this 1000%!! Personal experience!! However in my case, I got to help my fellow get himself out of a toxic family situation... I'm his family now... Me, our doggo and the gigantic family on my side... He is happy and doing well!
I read about a sign to watch out for is a woman may try to their son's into emotional partners. If there is no intimacy with their husbands. And when the son gets married the Mother will get very jealous and possesive losing their son. It's more a reflection of their bad marriage than how they feel about the future DIL.
I wouldn't say it's a red flag for a partner if their parents as assholes. A red flag is if the partner sides with the parents all the time whenever something happens. It shows they are still kind of seeking their parents approval in a way. If the parents are just pieces of crap and hate seeing their kid grow up, that's not a reflection on your partner or something to worry about if they openly tell you how stupid their parents are being.
At my second and big fancy wedding in a church, my little 4-year-old daughter was a bridesmaid. We had all bowed our heads during the prayer, which she mistook for sleeping, when we finished and looked up again, she loudly said, "They woke up!". Everyone laughed and it was an adorable icebreaker.
First; If someone says no children at a wedding, respect their wishing. No excuses, no exceptions. If you don't like it, respectfully don't attend. I wouldn't. Second; I do not care how much money you spend or how many flowers you bring, it will not be perfect and that's ok. The whole point is to publicly announce that you are socially and legally bound to another human before your community. Once, community meant everyone within a days walking distance of the couple. Today by community we mean friends and family. By the way, children are part of either community. These customs began in oral societies without written contracts. It was important that everyone see the ceremony. We try to keep this tradition alive, but today it is a more symbolic than bidding (the marriage license signed by witnesses is the legally binding part). Too many of these people think the whole point is to have the "perfect" wedding. As if anything is ever perfect. They get their expectations so high that the event could never measure up and they are disappointed when they should be happy. Calm down and enjoy the moments. I have been married now for 11, 157 days. Looking back over the past 30 plus years I can tell all you engaged people that the "wedding day" was nowhere near the most important day in our marriage.
I was my mom’s flower girl when I was 3 and the ring bearer (also 3) and I decided to run circles around the pastor (my uncle). The wedding tape shows my mom’s eyes following us until her friend (ring bearer’s mom) grabbed us 🤣 My mom and I still laugh about it to this day.
The lost ring thing - we used our dog as the ring bearer - she was absolutely the best dog. The music was “how much is that doggie in the window” when she walked down the isle. My friend made a sort of backpack pillow with Velcro straps. With the rings Velcro-ed in a little pouch. Our best man was super stressed about it and ripped the ring off the pillow - so paranoid the dog would run off. But she she was the best dog. She really was. She wasn’t going anywhere. We had a nice wedding. Me with my poofy white dress, my doggie, my husband, and our paranoid best man. BTW the best man is no longer our friend as his wife started physically assaulting my husband if he said something she didn’t like. This happened 3 times in a row and we said quit. Why am I telling you. Drinking wine on an empty stomach so - full confession here.
We had children at our wedding and the outdoor cocktail hour(s). We didn’t care if a baby cried during the ceremony because we knew our guest could just take them in the foyer til they calmed down and well, life happens 🤷🏼♀️ Then we hired a couple of sitters, and one of the rooms in the hotel we had the reception for. We got pizza, snacks and wedding cupcakes, along with games and videos for them during sit down dinner and dancing part. Parents could just go up and check on them if they worried, but none of them did (It was “fun times” for mom and dad! lol)
I get some people want to be funny during a wedding reception, but they cross the line to just cruel sometimes. As far as the rings go, yeah, most people have the rings tied to the pillow, so even if the ring bearer drops the pillow or something, it's not that big of a deal.
Ok my sister-in-laws wedding wasn't "ruined" except the groom's mother never made it, she let people know she was going to intentionally be late and the bride said no no we are starting on time no matter what. So we did and during the reception we found out she got loaded and wrecked into a stop sign on the way to the wedding and ended up in the hospital.
Has anyone you know ever ruined a wedding?!
My grandson (3 yrs old) was the ring-bearer at my son’s wedding. First he took the antique hanky off the pillow. After that was put back together, they sewed the ring to the pillow.
The bridesmaids had spread some flimsy white material for the bride to walk on, and grandson tore holes in it. My daughter was so embarrassed! This was before the actual ceremony. His dad paddled him a few times, which made it worse. All during the ceremony he was disruptive. Everyone tried to ignore him, but my daughter was crying with embarrassment.
Yes. Two friends of ours were going to get married, set a date. The groom's family did not like the date, and they actually changed it to a holiday to suit one sister. The day of the wedding, the groom had the flu and could barely stand. The groom's mom had packed his clothes for him for his honeymoon. On honeymoon, the groom was so sick, all he did was sleep. Today, they are divorced.
The caterers at my Sister's first wedding. The food should have been enough to serve 100 adults plus approximately 20 kids. Should also have had full table service.
Once we arrived back to the venue to be seated, we found the caterers had been and gone & left the food out on 2 tables (some of it including seafood).
Initially we assumed that they had left to bring the rest of the food back (it was outside catering).
However, after an hour or so of waiting, people getting restless, kids getting hungry, I spoke to the bar manager and asked if he'd heard anything. It turns out that the food that was there, was the ONLY food they had provided. I counted the bread baps, just to get an idea of what I had to sort out and there was only 60. In the words of one of the guests "Huh, not even enough for a sandwich".
There were also no servers either, so myself, as Sister to the Bride and Maid of Honour along with the other 2 bridesmaids and the best man and 4 groomsmen had to serve what little there was.
It had cost £4,000 sterling for this, my sister was in bits, half of the wedding party didn't eat and it was ruined. Looking back it was probably an omen as they didn't make it to their 1st wedding anniversary.
My mother nearly got me to ruin a wedding. Convinced me to dress in all-black funeral attire because "a white shirt and black waistcoat will make you look like a waiter." I had a panic attack about dressing for a funeral at a wedding and refused to go, forcing my mother to also not go because apparently a 20-something needs to be supervised at home like a child?
I was uninvited to a wedding years ago because it happened to be the same day as my birthday! I was told the day, said, "Cool, I'm turning 20-something on the same day!" and then was told a few days later I couldn't go. I asked why and they said the bride was "inconsolable" because now it wasn't HER day. Like, sorry for being born? I wasn't too upset, tbh, since they were newish friends and obviously didn't know me very well.
It's funny to think that I started to watch Charlotte when I was just chilling after work, then I got pregnant and watched a lot during my whole pregnancy and now I'm feeding my 6 months old baby while still watching her. Girl you're definitely part of my life x

If you don't like the conditions of the wedding: no kids, dress up, no black or white, don't like the food/venue/company, etc. DON'T GO. Just because no one "confronts" you about breaking the rules doesn't mean they're not irked you did.
@Valatrix no black, white, red, or orange (depending on ethnicity)
No designer, glitz, costumes, plainclothes or pajamas
The basic rule of thumb, nobody’s here to see you, so don’t dress like they are.
We flew to Vegas for my daughters wedding. We carried her dress as a carryon the lovely flight attendant actually took it and hung it up in a cupboard for her as my daughter was planning on holding it in her lap for fear of it getting lost/ruined. Lol. We tried to tip her but she wouldn't take it as she said she was getting married in Vegas soon and was trying to gather good karma for her wedding by helping every bride and groom she had on flights lol.
Oh the ring pillow thing. We got smart after a ring bearer lost a set at a wedding. We tied fake set to pillow for them while best man had real ones in his pocket. This is standard for all weddings in our family now lol.
The little boy actually swallowed the rings. Both his and hers. Right before the wedding one of the guests had metal detector and was searching the grass(cuz of course we are all outside)
Then my mom saw he was chewing on everything near him. Asked the guy to scan Mr man. Lol. Yup a beep beep from his tummy.
They still got married that day and since the little one was the brides son they didn't wait too long but I do know they had him xrayed the next day to make sure he had eaten them both. Both were recovered a couple days after wedding. Super funny but geez 🤣
I feel like that was set up for television right? Like how would someone drive over it?
@@punkybrewstar83 it could've fallen off as the vehicle with the luggage on it was moving and fell out of the suitcase just in front of the back tires or something. It's doubtful anyone wouldn't notice a large white dress on the ground if it was in front of them.
@@carmeltabby yeah, when luggage falls off the carts it often gets run over. Otherwise you usually wouldn’t know it was dropped
Yeh, I see dresses in the main cabin all the time. Not sure why they checked it. Weird.
My sister got drunk at my wedding, started a major fight with my mom, and I was about to snap. My husband picked her up like a sack of potatoes without saying a word, she’s 4’11 he’s 6’1 so it looked like he was carrying a toddler, made her leave with her bf, and everyone laughed so hard and we enjoyed the rest of our night.

When I was around 4 my step aunt had a wedding in which my 3 year older brother was to be the ring bearer, She told me she didnt have a place for me in the wedding since she already had a flower girl but promised if anything was to come up that I could be the flower girl so I was a little excited! I even practiced during rehearsal just in case. Come the day of the wedding I am dressed in the color of her wedding and dress she (step aunt) chose. She gets a call that the flower girl is sick so they wont be able to make it ! I was like I got this, bridesmaids start getting me ready and I am all set to go . My step aunt comes out looks at me and with the snottiest most disgusted look on her face says " Yeah not happening shes not cute enough to be in my wedding, and it wouldnt be appropriate for a bastard to walk down the aisle with her" I was heartbroken. Her bridesmaids were even like wtf. Well I was hurt and angry so when we lined up to send them off everyone had gotten these little sachets of rice that we were suppose to open and toss as the bride and groom walked by. I had collected about 10 of them and knew I was suppose to open them before throwing them but I didnt . I got her in the face ( direct eye hit) a few times and the groom in his junk. She had a black on eye on their honeymoon :) yeah I should feel bad but seriously she is a vile woman still to this day
You shouldn't feel bad at all - you are damn hero and I salute you... 🖤
She fkn asked for it IMO... plus you were a kid
👏👏👏 That's what happens to snobby people who disrespect a toddler!
In my opinion she got what she deserved. She shouldn't have given you false hope and called you ugly, that's just so rude. And impressive aim on your part🙂
Don't feel bad about it.
Oh and this made me giggle so much, i love a petty revenge story😅😄
Good aim. I'm proud of you. 🎉
When my brother was getting married, one of the first things I did was get my mom to find me someone to take care of my 1 year old during the service. I was coming in from out of town and was INSANELY over protective of my child (my husband and I both had VERY bad experiences with sitters when we were kids) BUT I did not want to ruin the wedding with a random cry, so we got someone to watch our baby during the service (no problems having them at the reception) and paid them ourselves.
So imagine MY annoyance (I don't know how the bride or groom felt, but I imagine they weren't happy) when ANOTHER GUEST'S baby screamed through a good portion of the short service.
I'm probably the asshole on this, but I don't think babies or small children (too young to be expected to sit still and be quiet for an extended time) belong at most wedding ceremonies. All's good at the reception, but who wants to be responsible for someone's wedding video being unusable because they can't edit around your kid's SHRIEKS?
Yes! This was how we did our wedding, and I would be totally understanding if we were asked to not bring our kids. Weddings cost a lot of money and people want recordings etc, that can be ruined by a screaming child.
ABSOLUTELY- you're 100% correct
I'm with you on not having babies or small children at someone else's wedding
As a parent of two small kids, I completely agree with your opinion of small kids not being at a wedding.
You are not an asshole.
You're right on point - kids HATE church nonsense, I personally think its abusive of parents to drag kids to church at all. Especially for such events - its puts kids in shitty position as well... Only because parents are selfish
We went to my brother in laws’ wedding a couple years ago, my son was about 3 at the time. He was a legit little monster in crowds and open spaces. My bro in law asked that *just for the ceremony*, which he was paying thousands to have videoed, photographed, etc, could I take my son just outside until the ceremony and pictures were done, and then we would come back for the reception and more photos. I happily walked my son straight out to the car, and sat there for 45 minutes. I wouldn’t want my ceremony wrecked up by some punk kid, so I made sure to stay far away until things were no longer being filmed. If someone asks you not to have your kid there, don’t bring your kid. If you don’t want to leave you kid with someone, stay home. You can watch the videos and see pictures later👍🏻
You're legit the 1st parent I see admitting their child is .. ehm .. very active :)
Dude I've seen and read so many horror stories. If you bring your kid, secity ain't letting you in. If you wear white, security ain't letting you in. I'm not even going to be worried about it.
My kids get the same way, if I took my kids, I wouldn't have an issue missing parts of the wedding. It's their day
Americans are weird. Europeans would never not have kids there. I was 2 and talking throughout my whole parents wedding and entertained the whole church. Everyone still laughs about it watching the videos. 😂 😂 It's weird how you want ultra perfect Hollywood weddings and make such a big fuzz about it. I mean yeah, when a kid is yelling around it's not too nice for the ceremony and I'd also bring away my child but in our culture we'd never tell somebody to leave their kids alone and not bring them.
Finally. A responsible, respectful parent. I salute you. Most little ones are a handful at that age. It's our responsibility to do what's needed to not ruin anyone else's parties, belongings, etc.

I saw that episode of airline.
So on the plus side she was on her way home from her wedding and they gave her anything she wanted to replace/repair the dress and make her feel whole. They were really amazing and the bride was a total lady about the situation. She was actually not super crazy about it. She reacted but didn't go bouncing off the walls.
At least she already had the pics and wedding done.
It's the fact that at the end of that video they said "And she black?? She goin snap!" Like really?? 🤬 Wildly inappropriate
@@kathembree9369 my comment had nothing to do with that. I didn't justify their comment in any way. Out of that whole thing I wasn't gonna waste my energy on one person being negative. 🤷🏾♀️
I make it a point to not focus on negative in any aspect of my life because that's not a way to live. I only commented on the positive part of this story because it makes life easier if you look at the positive things sometimes.

At my wedding many years ago new wife and I were walking out of the church and family members were tossing rice on us and I had an older cousin jumped right in front of us and pelted the rice right in our faces on purpose. My wife had rice stuck in her eyes and ears. I look back and think if people do that type of thing at a wedding, it's due to not learning how to behave at formal get-togethers, lack of manners and common courtesy, no respect and/or intentionally expressing their passive aggressiveness towards you but acting like it was an accident.
The wedding tent was the most appropriate moment to sing the "Somebody come get her, she's dancing like a stripper" like no, seriously come get her!
Kudos to the groom with the straight right to the cake smearer! 🤛🏼 What is up with people abusing cake?! Can we please normalize polite behavior at someone else’s f-ing wedding?!?!
That cake did nothing to that man unless he has a diet to worry about! how dare he take it out on it!!
@@colleennikstenas4921 even if he’s on a diet, it’s inexcusable! 😉That cake is innocent! It won’t make him fat or diabetic or anything if he just leaves it alone. 😂 But f around with it and catch a stiff right hand from a pissed off groom and whatever savage pettiness the upset bride can devise which is most likely infinitely more destructive than the punch. 😂🤣
@@carolannemonteleone5276 and there’s a reason why you don’t find it funny. It. Isn’t! 😉
Not to mention how EXPENSIVE wedding cakes can be. Heck! No!
Try as I might, I cannot understand it. It seems utterly pointless and can only make an awkward mess at best.
People who ignore the wishes of the bride and/or groom, should be asked to leave. They have their reasons for the rules.
Yup! My brother brought his gf even though she wasn’t invited and we had a whole heart to heart (he traveled to Montreal from uk just to discuss it and eventually agreed). He shows up a couple days before again, with her!!! My moms like “you can just tell them she can’t come” um ya I already did. And now it’s so close to the day and why should this be on me so I cause the drama and look bad? Not fair. Still bitter. They ended up marrying (eloping) and divorced about a year later. Ya.
@@Mama_Bear524 I guess it worked out well in the end
My thought exactly! The couple had everything right to throw her tf out- and SHOULD have.
Most reasons for no kids is they are filming the wedding.
🤣🤣🤣
As the mother of both a young boy and girl, these crazy mother/MIL wedding stories are insane. I can't imagine hurting my child or future in-laws that way.
As a mother of an 11 year old boy, I have already vowed to my “hopeful” future daughter in law that I will not wear a wedding dress to their wedding and a whole bunch of other stuff!
Seriously… how hateful and self centered do you have to be to fake a fall in front of everyone to drag down your future daughter-in-law. Who probably will give birth to your grandchildren… who you may not be able to see ever after pulling a messed up move like that.. sigh.
If I had been the bride, I would have gone full Rhonda Rousey
@@Emcobb2 so near all that mud, I would have come up with handfuls. Want a scene? Let's make a scene. Someone is going home crying and it won't be me. Grrr.
@@Kayenne54 love this!
A few years ago, we were invited to a child free wedding in August, and I just had our son in May. Since he was only 3 months old and still breastfeeding exclusively, I asked if I could bring him since I was his only source of food. The couple said no and told us that even their family members weren’t allowed to bring children. I understood and since the venue was 30 minutes away from my house, my mom stayed with the baby and I would drive back and forth throughout the night to nurse him.
Once we got to the wedding, I noticed there were several other children there, including a baby who looked to be older than my infant. I didn’t ask about the kids because my husband and I made the provisions to not be “those guests”, but the couple brought it up on their table visit and they said that they made a few last minute decisions to allow some of the kids to come. During that conversation, they made it clear that only those children would be allowed and that mine would not.
I drove back and forth 3 times that night and I was super peeved. I’m happy that I didn’t break their rule, but kind of upset that they allowed others to bring their children and I couldn’t bring my breastfeeding son who was still relying solely on me for nourishment.
That's pretty crappy of them. If you just don't want kids under a certain age at the wedding, just say so (since it seems like that might be the case if your little one wasn't allowed, but correct me if I'm wrong.) Don't make it seem like a completely child free wedding and then go "haha, whoops, we changed our minds, but not for you."
@@jacyevans It seemed like the plan was to be a totally childfree wedding, but oh well. I’d been carrying that around for a while, it’s good to finally let it go! And we’re not close with that couple anymore, for other reasons.
We silly stringed our friends/family when we left our wedding. Everyone got those cute wedding bubbles while they waited for us and we just ran down the line with silly string flying 😆
I am TIRED of people not respecting the no children wedding rules. We kind of had that rule, more specifically for babies. Nothing against babies, I have two of my own, but with a baby in the ceremony someone will have to leave and end up missing part of it. This is what happened with mine. One of my second cousins who isn't the most classy of people, still brought her baby. Her grandma who is also my aunt whom I love, ended up having to walk out during the ceremony with the baby (not sure why it's own mother couldn't). I was crushed my aunt missed most of the ceremony. DON'T BRING YOUR KIDS TO A WEDDING IF YOU ARE ASKED NOT TO. GEEZ.
The grandma probably wanted to bring the baby out. A grandma will take any excuse to hold a baby. Don’t worry, she has seen plenty of weddings.
What’s the point of respecting the “child-free” rule when the people who set the rule don’t even follow it? The exceptions to the rule were the small children on ONLY the BRIDES side of the family. That’s just fucking hypocritical.
@@agentwolf5305 because hypocritical or not, their wedding and their rules.
The brides nieces and nephews were there
@@agentwolf5305 It seems like there was only a handful of children attending the wedding, probably that were in the wedding party itself (ring bearer, flower girl) and these children had rehearsed the event without causing disruptions. I think their rules are completely understandable and reasonable.
"Am I the a-hole for taking a baby to a childfree wedding?" Yes, don't want to leave the child with a babysitter? Don't go. Problem solved.
The moment I read that title I just automatically said “yep.” and was ready to move on to the next story. I don’t need any context
Not really cuz cousin didn't say anything
@@notsogoodgamer2334 excuse me? He didn't need to say anything inv said CHILD FREE
He didn't said its okay so she had no right to take the kid.
Absence of "no" doesn't mean "yes" people who don't know that creep me out as hell

When I was a chef we always used to say there’s a better atmosphere at a funeral than a wedding. There’s far fewer falling outs, people are nicer to each other and better behaved…unless of course it’s an Irish funeral.
Oh my family is just the most nonchalant group you'd ever meet in both instances. My cousins? No they're pretty picky and specific when it comes to how things need to be at their weddings. Everyone else though is as follows:
* Getting married? Quickest ceremony you'd ever see followed by hours of just talking to each other, drinking, and having fun. I mean maybe 20 minute ceremony tops.
* Death in the family? Also the quickest funeral you'd ever see. People come, we do the stuff the person who passed away wanted to do, and we make things lighthearted with family stories. And then we go get lunch and have fun. Maybe a 30 minute funeral if I'm being honest.
We process emotions and events in a weird way, and I know we do. But we're very practical about stuff and just want to have fun in our short lives.
Now I'm curious, what is an Irish funeral like?
@@matchaaalie a drunken party, like a really messy drunk party with people in suits. Even the priest gets drunk quite often. (And Irish tempers, so some fisticuffs.)
@@matchaaalie I think they're talking about a wake. My family is a mixed bag, but we do wakes.
My dad and uncle got us thrown out of a restaurant for being too loud with their toasts and stories when my paternal grandmother passed. We then went on to hit the local liqour store, someone bought a plastic Viking helmet, and we invented a rule that you could only make a toast or tell a story if you were wearing the helmet. It kept the noise down a bit, until we ended up with two happily drunk Scots-Irishmen standing on chairs and one of them was wearing the helmet. I don't think our family is welcome in that part of Iowa any more.
Happy drunks in my family make for good stories.
The wake for my Dad ended up involving a Mexican restaurant, a trip to Krogers and the issuance of a "special license" for my uncle to ride in one of the mobile scooterchairs while being pushed by members of the family. There was also a martini making class with certificates (quickly computer generated) handed out for those who could make a good martini. We had the Viking helmet and The Viking Helmet Rule, so we didn't get thrown out of the restaurant.
The difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish funeral is that at the funeral, one person's not drinking.
Wedding based content is what got me hooked on Charlotte, now here I am about a year after finding her videos, 10 months married, and thankful my wedding didn't turn out like any of these people.
At my wedding, my wife’s stepmom (who we barely knew) shoved the cake in our faces just like that one video. She was drunk before the ceremony, stole people drinks from their hands, harassed people the entire night, etc. Then while we were cleaning the cake off our dresses, faces, and out of our hair, she proceeded to yell at us about the fact that we would open her gift the second she asked us too. It’s been a year and a half since and I haven’t seen her and she still hasn’t apologized.
Keep the NC going. Poor behavior not likely to improve.
The way the first couple reacted when the guy recording fell and probably fucked up the whole shot of the first dance was just too adorable for words!
Smiling and giggling while still lovingly holding each other in their arms and faces close together, just their foreheads touching, shooting each other a look like "well this'll be a funny story to tell the kids someday!"
❤
Anything that purposefully ruins hair, dress/suit, or makeup is 1,000% unacceptable!
Also, I attended a (very expensive) wedding once at a hotel, and the fire alarm went off during the vows... at least we can laugh about it now, but it was pretty bad on the day.
Start normalizing sending these people the bill for whatever they ruined.
NO!!!
At least something like that is circumstance rather than people being assholes
I just hope that the sprinklers in the room didn't start spraying!
@@VampyBlood17 - Exactly! There’s a difference between some*thing* going wrong, and some*one* acting wrong.
“No children” isn’t just for the adults. You know how kids love sitting still in a church while some guy reads passages from the Bible in front of hundreds of people they don’t know? Oh they don’t…? That’s correct, they don’t.
AS a child that was in many weddings, I Loved being there, one of very few social Events I Like atttending too!
@@SingingSealRiana You are the rare exception, and I’m glad you got to see so many weddings. Most kids struggle though, and it’s on their parents to figure that one out before attending.
@@SingingSealRianathat's what I was thinking too. Loved watching the weddings as a child. And ours were catholic ceremonies so we got the whole Mass during the wedding😂
My son was the ring bearer in my brother's wedding. Everything was going to plan, he started down the aisle like he was supposed to. Then he realized that there were a lot of people there. He. Lost. His. Crap.
He screamed, threw the pillow towards my brother and his bride, and ran crying back to me in the vestibule where I had been watching.
I took him just outside of the door and held him until he calmed down and then we went back in and he sat in my lap for the rest of the ceremony.
My family being as crazy and weird as we are, weren't fazed. Everyone that had been there was laughing about it. Little snot was about 3 or 4 years old at the time.
I was about 4 during a cousin's wedding, I've always been a tomboy and wanted to wear some very ugly boy boots to it, but my mom wouldn't let me. So I was very upset. During the ceremony at the church, I looked behind and saw an older girl wearing very beautiful boots, I was livid and shouted very loudly "How come SHE can wear boots but I can't?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When I was a toddler I was always picked as a flower girl at all my mums friends weddings, I remember one specific one that she had got me ready for, all dressed, hair done and just needed me to wait for her to change. My bestie across the street ran to tell me there were tadpoles in her little pond...
Long story short, I caught tadpoles and went to tell my mum, VERY proud of myself. Absolutely stinking, with green algae all over me. BUT I GOT THE TADPOLES! 😂
This is a lesson that teaches you that you should probably have the adult get ready first, THEN get the kid ready and go before they have a chance to find chaos XD
You had a great child hood 🤣👍👍
Story time! I was a bridesmaid in my SIL's wedding, my husband was a groomsman and our (barely) 1 year old was a flower girl. She was being pulled down the aisle in a wagon. My MIL was to hold her during the ceremony but my daughter had some extreme separation anxiety so I told her if she gets fussy AT ALL, then bring her up to me and I would just hold her. She never listens and thought she could handle things. My SIL had a videographer. In the video, you can hear my daughter screaming at the top of her lungs during the vows. Like, just as loudly as the bride and groom through their microphones.
No one ever said anything about it but I was livid and feel like it ruined their video that I'm sure they spent at least a thousand dollars on... at least they were the ones that wanted us all in the wedding, but if someone does say no kids, don't take your dang kids lol
Could it be possible that your mother-in-law was trying to ruin your sisters
-in-law's wedding ?
@@kernfamily14 definitely not, she just thought she could get my daughter to settle down on her own
what was she thinking?? why didnt leave the room/area???
Honestly sounds like it could have been avoided had MIL listened. At the very least she should’ve left the ceremony with the little one
It did ruin the video and their vows. The moment your baby started crying and the MIL didn't move to bring you the baby, you could have just as easily walked the 4 steps to the front row and picked up the baby from her yourself.
I can't count the number of weddings we didn't attend when they said "no kids, please". We didn't have anyone to babysit for us when our kids were little so we just sent our regrets that we couldn't attend along with a congratulatory card with money. No one ever complained about us not being there and my husband was ecstatic that he didn't have to dress up.
Yeah, i don't get the "Child free" weddings. Kids are fun. Those people are cold. I wouldn't go either.
@@leadelbois8151 not all kids are fun. Some are horrible. Also, if I want to swear and discuss adult matters I don't want someone telling me to mind my language at an adult event.
@@mandaout2427 why is a wedding an adult event by default? It's a celebration with loved ones - are kids not included in that?
@@Blip0000 in our family kids are included in all get togethers unless specified “no kids “. Most of the weddings I’ve attended kids are usually there for ceremony but not reception unless it’s set up to be more casual, if the kids were part of the wedding party their parents usually arrange for them to be discreetly picked up by a sitter after pictures and food so parents can relax and socialize and kids aren’t overtired and cranky.
Ehhh… you don’t need to send them money. That’s to cover the food you eat.
My in-laws did everything they could to ruin ours, from pitching a fit and skipping out on the rehearsal dinner (we didn’t want them smoking at the table), to being late getting to the church, complaining about the ceremony, and disappearing during the reception to take their own family pics away from the church. I got the last laugh though, my hubs and I have been married 25 happy years, and they live 2000 miles away. 😂
Thank you for your humor and content. It’s been a rough few months, and you’ve gotten me through some really hard days. My mom died in April, and my fiancé and I split up last week. You’re the brightest light in my life right now. I always look forward to watching your videos; you bring a smile to my face and make my heart feel lighter. ❤️ thank you again
The men who tried to put cake on the groom and the other guy who tried to put it on both the groom and the bride!!! Oh my gosh the way that would literally ruin the entire wedding so fast. I wouldn’t expect any less from the groom who punched that guy. That was beyond messed up to do at someone’s wedding. The cake cutting isn’t for anyone else but the bride and groom anyways! Why are people like this ?!? 😩
Dude that got punched was so wasted. That's why he was able to recover from the punch so fast to try and come back before being dragged away.
I'm guessing these guys are just drinking way too much and end up not being in the their right mind by that point. Then again they were probably never in their right mind if they thought getting wasted at a wedding(let alone a friend's wedding) was a good idea.
@@scook449 seriously !! 🤣
So in that last video with the tiny ring bearer...
My brother was the ring bearer to my parents wedding. He was 2. Mom and Dad knew it was a catastrophe waiting to happen so they actually had the rings tightly tied to the cushion. Which was a good call, because guess who skipped down the aisle, swinging both arms up and down the whole way? LOL
Very smart!
I always assumed the ribbons on ring bearer pillows were put there specifically to tie down the rings. I don't think I've ever seen one of those pillows WITHOUT those ribbons, come to think of it.
@@mindyschocolate The smart thing to do is to tie FAKE rings on the pillow. The MOH and Best Man hold the rings. This is what our family does.
I think it was tied but not securely. They didn't seem too concerned until it dropped and they saw the strings were unravelled.
Weddings seem to reveal who should truly be in your life, and who should be loved from a distance
“Oh and she Black too she’s gonna flip out” 😂 I’m a Black woman and and I felt that to my very soul, hell hath no fury like a sister whose money is being f’ed with
One of the reasons my husband and I allowed kids at our reception was that my sister organized activities for them. Bubbles, coloring, that kind of thing. Worked a treat, and they weren't bugging their parents or other guests.
My baby brother was six weeks old when I got married. He screamed through almost the entire ceremony. At the time it was annoying but now it's just a funny memory. I did threaten to hire a baby to scream during his wedding last year though lol.
why didn't he just walk out of the room/area with the baby??
@@hippopajamas he was 6 weeks old. He couldn’t walk, yet.
🤣🤣🤣 for their anniversary, try to get a video of their wedding then add a crying baby to the soundtrack. You could give it to him as a joke.
Sorry, sorry- I read that as your brother's kid. LOL. A six week old just waltzing out of the room, oop. The spirit of my reply remains, why didn't anyone take him out.
Or maybe hold your parents accountable instead of a literal baby.
We sat with newlyweds while having dinner in Venice. They told us how they eloped because their families couldn't get along and drove them crazy. They were so sweet and we paid for their dinner. I thought they did the right thing by eloping because I did it before and didn't want drama either.
That’s so kind of you
rudy vel - Nice. Wonder if they said that every night they were there hoping to get a free meal.
I realize that my personal experience with things isn’t everyone’s but I wanted to address the whole “she told them on her RSVP that she would be bringing her kid” crowd. The RSVP is not the proper forum for that communication. Our RSVPs went to our caterer for a headcount on the food and did NOT come back to us directly. Even if it had, we would’ve only been looking for totals, not reading everyone’s chicken scratch which may be anything from congratulations to dietary restrictions/preferences to a change in the expectations of the wedding ceremony (wtf?! Who does that?!). If she had no intention of leaving her child with a stranger (a perfectly reasonable preference for a parent) and was expecting an exception to be made for her, she should’ve communicated that directly via a forum that allows for a back and forth exchange; phone call, text, FaceTime/Zoom, or face to face (less likely since they lived 6 hours apart which is more reason to be absolutely, crystal clear on this). The bride and groom made their feelings known clearly so any change to that should be communicated at least as clearly and not rely up the old adage of “silence is acquiescence” (do people still believe that these days?!).
I am now down off of my soapbox and return it for someone else to use. 😉😂
YES!! 👏👏👏
yes that was just their feeble attempt to cover their ass. But the bride even said she didn't want to cause drama. So it just puts them in an awkward position if they knew ahead of time. It's just bad manners all around.
I can't help but wonder if they knew they were the non-confrontational type and figured that they knew they wouldn't say anything or maybe not even get the message and if they did object when they arrived they could go, "But I mentioned it on the RSVP and no one said no!"
I don't think it's bad to ask for an exception under the right circumstances, but it must be verbal (or text) and they must be willing to accept no for an answer. I think they were trying to be sneaky about it by only mentioning it on the RSVP and not actually asking them outright.
@@happychaosofthenorth And child free on the invitation is very clear about their wishes.
I was the one that sadly ruined my eldest brother's wedding. The elder sister of my SIL was a nightmare and my SIL sadly put her in charge of everything, she was disrespectful AF and everyone had had it up to here for her behavior and some people were even saying she was intentionally sabotaging the wedding because her younger sister was marrying before her. Long story short she insulted my mother and direct elder brother in my presence and I did not hesitate to give her a dirty slap right there in the center of the wedding arena. A mini fight broke because everyone was already agitated.
I felt a little bad(just a little bit) about the whole thing cos my SIL was a sweet girl, and I should have held my anger. But that b*tch deserved everything she got.
If you've ever watched the airline workers handling baggage on the tarmac, loading it onto and off of the plane, dropping and destroying a wedding dress is not surprising. It's also exactly why I would never fly with a pet and have them checked. Just like luggage goes missing or gets destroyed, so do pets. When I i learned about that, it unlocked a new fear 😅
The coal-shovel story, no matter how many times I hear it, has got to be my favorite "meet cute" story on the internet. Like, imagine they ended up staying together. One hell of a "how I met your mother" story.

My godmother doesn't really attend events if her kids can't go, but she never assumes she's exempt.
Yeah I can understand ppl with kid free weddings tho it’s nothing I would personally do. I love kids so they would be just as important to my special day even if they start crying

I don't. I can't remember ever attending a wedding that was childfree. Children are usually sat for their own table, and they have a great time. They don't cause too much trouble (or at least not more than expected) and the parents always look after them.
Also, if you don't bring kids to weddings & other events, how/when are they going to learn how to behave? The older kids (around 10-12) are usually already "veterans", and the younger ones are figuring out the rules just by being near them.
Having a childfree wedding is causing more problems on the long run. IMHO.
szepi79
if people are not able to teach their kids proper behaviour/manners or make rules clear beforehand, it would be one more reason why the kids should not attend. one person's/ couple's event is not automatically a learning ground for other persons' children. it's an event for the person/ couple and not for parents to have other kids teach their children how to behave.
@@szepi79 it's understandable if you don't like the concept of child free events, we all have different opinions and we can always agree to disagree.
The most important thing is we respect each other's opinions and not force said opinions on other people.
@@MidniteSpectre I didn't force my opinion on anyone. I said I don't understand child free weddings. I didn't call anyone names, I didn't use any derogative terms for anyone or the habit itself, and frankly, I don't understand why I needed to be reminded to be respectful. Can you show me where did I show a lack of respect?
The people messing up the cake, really a quick throat punch was deserved. Along with the bill for the cake, but double it! What jerks!
9:34 as a bride, I would burst out of tears.. because I would laugh so hard 😅😅🤣 love it. That story will always be amazing to tell!
Anybody who, under the influence of too much alcohol, thinks everybody's gonna laugh at them ruining a wedding cake and potentially a wedding dress or tuxedo, should have their drinking privileges reduced to those of a minor, regardless of their calendar age.
When did it become acceptable for non couple members of the wedding to smash the cake or cover the bride and groom in random stuff.
I get rather annoyed that a lot of parents think everyone else should make allowances for the fact that they have kids. they need to understand that the world doesnt revolve around them and no kids means no kids.
As a mom of 3, YESSSSSSS!!!! If you’re told no kids then no kids!! Don’t go if you aren’t comfortable leaving kid
And it’s not like she had no time. She said it was far away. Why not leave the baby at home. This was privilege on her part right from the beginning!
My son was 6 months old when we were invited to the wedding of a dear friend I’d known since preschool. We got a babysitter for the day because that’s what you do. Your kid, your responsibility. Either get a sitter or stay home!
We always denied going to childfree celebrations. You don't want our children - you don't like us as a family. We don't need you and goodbye.
I agree. I have two small children and if I was invited to a no child wedding I would make sure to have child care figured out.
At my aunt’s wedding, my sister and I were flower girls. We were 3 and 6. I being older walked all princessy and did my job. My sister, on the other hand, takes maybe 5 steps and essentially says “f*** this” and just dumps the whole basket right then and there and went and sat with our parents. Efficiency. 😂
Used to be a wedding planner in Maine, USA. Bride and groom had two amazing prof photos taken on the river in Boston, MA blown up like 3 or 4 feet by 2 feet for guests to sign, they were amazing, no joke. Brides late teen/early twenties brothers friends who were not invited crashed the reception and drew the classic glasses, blacked out teeth, etc on the giant photos in SHARPIE on the pictures (both of them) of the bride and groom!!!! IT WAS BAD... That was 14ish years ago...I have been working in life insurance now for 10 years, it's much easier.
I had a child free wedding with the exception of a junior bridesmaid and the ring bearer. One of my family members who was also a guest decided to bring her child despite not telling me beforehand and not getting permission. While in the end the child was an angel and I was glad she was there, the disrespect and lack of consideration for my wishes was something I never forgot. That particular family member also ended up being a no show to her own brother’s wedding despite telling everyone she was going to be there even up until the very day of the wedding.
Glad the kid did alright there, but it’s so disrespectful of that family member to bring them to a childfree wedding.
@@memawknowsbest4978 I see that you believe that everyone should think, feel and act the same as you about things such as weddings. Perhaps tell us all how funerals, graduations, anniversaries are supposed to go.

@@memawknowsbest4978 here's the thing when you are invited to a wedding. You should send a gift if you don't go. But most people like you don't have the class or understanding of what happens with a wedding. It's not your call to have children or not and you respect the request of the bride and groom. It's not just what you want when you want it.
So for the airport one, we have to drive the luggage from the plane to the baggage claim belt. We almost always pull multiple carts of bags, and unfortunately, there's a chance that a bag could fall off a cart for a few reasons. If a bag falls off one of the first carts, there's a chance it could fall between the carts and get caught under the wheels. It's most certainly unintentional, but still terrible.
What the video didn't show was that this was after the wedding had already taken place. I get it can still be upsetting to not have the dress any more but to completely flip out is just over the top.
@@cmenowlandreth thank god for that. If they were just a day or two out from the wedding (which is what I had assumed they were flying for) and the dress was wrecked I’d be PISSED. It’s impossible to get that dress replaced, including alterations in a day’s notice. I’d raise Cain.
@@cmenowlandreth it could have been hired. Not a bought and owned one. Sometimes people also BORROW wedding dresses or inherit them from other family members. But if you'd just paid way too much for a dress you wore once, you'd be kind of upset too. People sometimes plan to get them altered for other sisters' or cousins' weddings; you just don't know. One woman I know got hers made into christening robes for her kids.
Air France ran over my brand new hard suitcase in March. It was mangled. Only gave me a 3rd of the cost. They SUCK.
@@cmenowlandreth If someone pays hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for a wedding dress and an airport ruins it due to their own carelessness, they absolutely are within their rights to "flip out," regardless of if its before or after the wedding.
I can understand the wedding dress getting dropped, and maybe even getting run over - but he said the dress was in a dress bag - to leave tyre marks on the dress means that the bag had to be torn open or the dress removed and then dropped and run over.
[] where, when and why did this stupid smashing-the-cake-into-faces start? pointless waste of good cake at best, aggressive assault at worst.
[] that hair-change MiL: I'm surprised she didn't wear a white dress as well. If I'd been on the ground with her on a river bank, one of us would have ended up going in, and it wouldn't have been me.
Damn straight! You grab my hair and it's on, bish!
@@suzi_mai Having my hair pulled is a trigger for me , even if it's done as a "prank" - when it's done maliciously, as this obviously was in this case, then I would express my displeasure in no uncertain terms.
What I think happened with the dress in the bag was that it fell off of one of those big baggage carrier trains, and got ran over by several of the trailers.
A garments bag vs a couple of large trailers full of luggage? That bag is getting ripped open and the dress is done for
My thoughts exactly.
I personally am great full that non of my older “aunties” and cousins had child free weddings since tiny Alex absolutely adored the grandeur of it all and took her duties as flower girl very serious, but I can totally understand where ppl come from when they don’t want children there especially small ones. One of my cousins sons did once cry during another relatives ceremony but one of the “Grannies” was on baby duty, meaning she was on standby to go outside with a fuzzy kid so the disruption was only short. Of course you need ppl willing to miss parts of the wedding if you go this route. On the other hand its nice to see how proud kids are that they were at big family moments even if they can’t remember it themselves. They have the pictures and stories and feel included. It’s nice too. You just need to figure out what’s more important to you and of course for your guests to respect your decisions.
If the bride and groom say they don't want kids at the wedding, it should be pretty clear that you shouldn't bring kids to the wedding!!! And while it's understandable that you're uncomfortable leaving your kid with a babysitter, you shouldn't disrespect the couple's wishes and bring your kid anyway. If you can't respect the no kids rule, then you just shouldn't go 🤷♀️
"Mom , How did you meet Dad?"
"I dropped a drink on him and he hit me with a hot coal shovel . We then spent the night together in a sleeping bag" - Love at first fight .
🤣 Right!?!? Or, I dragged her drunk ass off after she tried to pole dance at the reception and brought down the tent. We have been together ever since.
Wonder if Head Injury Girl dropped that drink on Vet Over-Reactor on purpose? and then things got out of hand. As they always do with alcohol.
Feels fitting. I released a book today called The Bride and The Baker. Your wedding videos have gotten me writing weddings into my stories.

Almost the same thing happened at my wedding. We put on the invite NO CHILDREN and no one RSVPd that they were bringing their children.
But at the wedding, my ex husband's (yes, unfortunately we made it 15 yrs but then divorced)cousin brought her 4 yr old. We were pretty upset. However, we wanted to have fun, so we just let it go. But it was very disrespectful and caused us trouble because many people who didn't bring their children thought we had given special permission to this one family, which we didn't. So we spent the next year fielding phone calls and gossip explaining what had happened. It was obnoxious!!!
I'd have made an announcement and said she brought the kid without permission at the wedding and to forward all complaints to her and ask her why she thought rules don't apply to her lol
You should have told them to leave. Better to deal with the fallout of 1 family than the entire guest list.
I would have provided said cousin's # to all callers so they could call her to explain her actions.
If I were a guest at a wedding and had kids, I think I would've asked the kid's parents if they got an exception and not automatically assumed the bride and groom were at fault. Even if they lied and said that an exception was made for them, I would still give the bride and groom the benefit of the doubt and assume that if they did make an exception it was for a good reason. I don't get people being disrespectful and breaking the rules because they don't think the rules apply to them, but I also don't get people gossiping about it like that instead of just kindly asking about it if it really were that upsetting to them. I'm sorry that happened.
When one of my cousins got married, she and her first husband (we all hated him) had a child-free ceremony. Which is probably good, since it was a stuffy, long Catholic ceremony in one of those actually creepy cathedrals. But! My cousin also insisted that they rent a bouncy castle for the kids that would be welcome at the reception. The result? Happy, exhausted kids, and no crying to ruin the ceremony.
Yeah, my sis and I got hella sunburned, but we didn’t care. And, the other benefit, we didn’t have to fuss about fancy dresses or anything.
I saw a sign posted on a tent pole at a wedding that said: “The tent poles are to hold up the tent, not for pole dancing. Please find another way to disappoint your father.” One of my two all time favorite signs. The other was in the reptile house at the Los Angeles Zoo: “Please don’t tap on the glass. What would you do if it broke?”
These made me feel indignant by proxy!
My wedding way back when…so many kids in our families and a very small church and venue. “No kids” invitations sent out. Soon to be MIL sends a message “If my 2 grandchildren (groom’s niece and nephew) can’t attend then I’m not coming to the wedding and nor is anyone else on the groom’s side!”
We ended up caving to the pressure and I spent a lot of my wedding day explaining to my family and friends why the “no kids” rule didn’t apply to them as we were threatened with a boycott.
I’d also arranged for buttonholes only, so everyone got the same. Not the MIL - she grilled her firstborn into divulging the flowers and colour scheme and had her own corsage made up to match my bouquet. Irritated beyond measure, and we didn’t speak for over a year.
Divorced 10+ years down the line, I’m content with my life and the ex-husband is looking for wife no. 3…so…yeah good luck with that!
The ring pillows have ribbons on them so you can tie the rings to the pillow for the very purpose of not losing them.
That's what I was going to say. My mother made my veil, garter and ring pillow and that's literally the most important part of the damn pillow. What were they thinking?
Does anyone already know when they see a pool at any type festivity that SOMEONE is going to fall in? 😂😂😂
Yeah, that seems like a disaster just waiting to happen.
I love humanity 🤣
At my wedding my then 4 months old son decided it was the perfect time to doo the doo, cook a butt burrito, make space for lunch etc. So mid ceremony he began grunting LOUDLY and it echoed in the whole church. 🤣
He was very pleased with himself, he had a big smile on the whole time! 😅
That story about the guy who unintentionally hurt the girl with the hot shovel and ended up sleeping with her could be the start of a romance novel. I hope we'll hear some crazy story about *their* wedding 😁
Hey Charlotte! My family boycotted my wedding and lied to me. I wanted a childfree wedding, the only kids allowed were my 2 boys (for which I had hired a babysitter to stay with them at the ceremony and reception - everything included for the babysitter). My family was pissed because I wouldn't let them bring their children, while my husband's family understood even though they were sad about this. When I realized that none of my family members were sending in their RSVPs, I called one by one... each one making an excuse and I caught them with lies in between. Sad to say, no one from my family showed up to my wedding (only my mom, dad, grandmother, and sisters). To make things worse, they all started talking crap about me to my parents and made themselves the victim. I haven't spoken with them after that... even though my wedding was just as we wanted, it still makes me sad when I see the pictures...
screw them, sweetie. your wedding, your rules. I know it is sad to look at the photos but, IMHO it is sadder that they use emotional abuse to get back at you for their entitledness. stay strong, keep your chin up and know the problem is not you, it is them.
@@memawknowsbest4978 My cousins who didn't show up, were all married before me and they all had NO children weddings... why would I think they would feel differently now that it was my wedding? The reason I decided to do a no-children wedding, was because at my baby shower, the kids were running around, throwing food and one punched me in the stomach (mind you I was 8 months pregnant).. and the mom's did nothing to control their kids, they just drank... no way did I want that repeated at our wedding.
@@jennpzc4925 Bless your heart. Its sad but acting like that glad there out of your life. X
Childfree is just the price parents have to pay. Some parents watch their kids, some let their kids run around like hellions screaming at the top of their lungs breaking things and expect other people to watch them (looking at someone specifically there). One person ruins it for everybody. No one should ever be judged because they don't want to have to deal with chaos on an already stressful day.
If they childfree weddings themselves they are AH, easier you to identify the toxic people in your life.
The dust or flour whatever that is, yea thats friendship ending stuff. My asthma would probably send me to the hospital and the bill would go to them.
My mother-in-law changed her dress three times for my wedding and refused to show me what it looked like, which I didn't care by that point. She cried for weeks before the wedding because she was "losing" her son. These are the mild things that she did. MIL's really are something else.
I know a mil who intentionally knocked over the wedding cake at her son's wedding into the floor and then proceeded to fake a seizure but popped right up when someone said they were calling 911. Needless to say that marriage didn't last long.
This is precisely why my MIL isn’t invited to my upcoming wedding.
I had to exclude children from my wedding during the pandemic because they counted in the headcount and, at the time, we could only have like 25 people. So I excluded lots of people, including children. And I have a HUGE family. I had a few people huff and puff but I know I would have been upset if someone insisted on bringing their child - not because I don't like their kid but because that could have been someone else I really wanted present for my wedding day but had to exclude due to capacity restrictions.
That woman was definitely the AH!
I actually teared up for some of these brides and grooms... I can't imagine how devastated they felt during what was supposed to be their special happy day without any problems
For the AITA about bringing the baby to a wedding, I am almost positive that I have recently heard another Reddit reader go through the same story but from what I believe was the MIL's point of view. The judgment in both cases is in the same direction.
So many people feel like everyone should bow down and worship them and their children…..
@@downhomesunset for a lot of pepole it's the only power they have in life. And they think it makes them special and expect people to defer to their needs over others.
It’s a common enough wedding issue that there could easily be millions of people with a similar/same story.
Charlotte I thank you for your timing. Just had a embarrassing moment at work and I feel so bad right now so looking on UA-cam and seeing you posted helped my day get better.
I've had quite a few family weddings go awry (I have a LOT of cousins,) but the one that sticks out to me the most is when the bride laughed through the whole ceremony. As she was being walked down the aisle by her parents, you could hear her familiar giggle as she got closer and closer. She was so nervous that she continued to laugh through the whole ceremony as we all just kind of awkwardly laughed along with her. She was laughing so much that she struggled to get through the vows and I do. It didn't ruin the wedding as such, it just made it really awkward as no one had any idea how to react, and at the end of the ceremony everyone was kind of like "what just happened?"
My cousins brought their kids to a wedding that they were fully allowed to be at, but when they started losing it during the speeches the whole family left for the evening. Did it suck not having my cousin and his wife there? Sure. But they did the right thing for the group and I respected the hell out of it.
Don't check in your freaking wedding dress! I had to travel by plane with my dress and I had the wedding dress shop pack my dress into a carry-on suitcase. I just brought over the suitcase to the shop after my last fitting and they packed it beautifully, cushioned with paper between the layers of fabric. That suitcase never left my side :D The dress didn't even need steaming when I took it out.
What service 🙂 What shop was it?
Same! The flight attendant ask what the bag was and after we told her she jumped up and down with excitement. She allowed me to hold it and everytime she walked by she would smile!!!
Very smart!

Even though the wedding had already happened. I understand being upset that the dress was ruined so she couldn't keep it but her over the top reaction was to much.
Thanks!
The one where the groom's mom dyed her hair to match the bride--I expected for the bride to walk down the aisle and see the mom also wearing a long white dress.
If it's child free, you don't bring your kid. If you don't want to leave your kid, then you don't go. It's really simple, I'm a mum of four and I don't get this person's thought process
Edited to add; she's definitely the AH
I’m a mom as well and I absolutely agree!
I’m a mom of 3. I’d relish the chance to go somewhere without my parasites (oops) I meant children. If they’re allowed, great, if not I’ll look for a sitter. If I can’t find or afford a sitter I’ll send a nice card and gift. Easy. But usually there’s a whole other side of family that would be thrilled to babysit.
At my first wedding (yes sadly I’ve had more than one) the preacher who married us ran into the cake table and knocked over the fountain that was under the cake. 🤣 sadly we did not get this on film and tech it didn’t ruin the wedding but it was funny. Blue water was everywhere. Several of the guests helped to mop everything up and the cake was perfectly fine. Thank goodness because a family friend made the cake for me as my wedding gift.
Loved your Orange Fanta shirt! And that final joke was hands down funny af!!!

My year old granddaughter let ot a fart during my nieces wedding renewal vows. And i mean DURING the vows! You can hear it on the video.😂 My daughter and I tried to keep our laughing quiet and i think we did a good job of it.
The rings are supposed to be tied to the pillow!😂
One of the biggest red flags 🚩 ever in a partner is if they have jealous parents. Why are you jealous of your own child’s happiness? It’s so sad cause the person could be amazing but the parents just ruin it :/
edit: unless you can help get the person out of this situation. Im mostly referring to times when the partner doesn’t stand up against their unreasonable parents on their loved one’s behalf
For real
I second this 1000%!! Personal experience!! However in my case, I got to help my fellow get himself out of a toxic family situation... I'm his family now... Me, our doggo and the gigantic family on my side... He is happy and doing well!
I read about a sign to watch out for is a woman may try to their son's into emotional partners. If there is no intimacy with their husbands. And when the son gets married the Mother will get very jealous and possesive losing their son. It's more a reflection of their bad marriage than how they feel about the future DIL.
@@jeng8401 exactly. I always wonder how the father/husband feels seeing his wife get super dramatic about their future DIL "stealing" their son.
I wouldn't say it's a red flag for a partner if their parents as assholes. A red flag is if the partner sides with the parents all the time whenever something happens. It shows they are still kind of seeking their parents approval in a way.
If the parents are just pieces of crap and hate seeing their kid grow up, that's not a reflection on your partner or something to worry about if they openly tell you how stupid their parents are being.
Ugh, just the sheer entitlement of the lady with the baby at a child-free wedding, though.
The farting story, the descriptions of her laughter are brilliant
Those captions were hilarious!
I was laughing before even hearing the actual story.
The wedding dress! OMG...I choked when then the woman came running into the back there saying"Here she come and she black! She gonn snap!" 🤣😂🤣 5:26
At my second and big fancy wedding in a church, my little 4-year-old daughter was a bridesmaid. We had all bowed our heads during the prayer, which she mistook for sleeping, when we finished and looked up again, she loudly said, "They woke up!". Everyone laughed and it was an adorable icebreaker.
First; If someone says no children at a wedding, respect their wishing. No excuses, no exceptions. If you don't like it, respectfully don't attend. I wouldn't. Second; I do not care how much money you spend or how many flowers you bring, it will not be perfect and that's ok. The whole point is to publicly announce that you are socially and legally bound to another human before your community. Once, community meant everyone within a days walking distance of the couple. Today by community we mean friends and family. By the way, children are part of either community. These customs began in oral societies without written contracts. It was important that everyone see the ceremony. We try to keep this tradition alive, but today it is a more symbolic than bidding (the marriage license signed by witnesses is the legally binding part). Too many of these people think the whole point is to have the "perfect" wedding. As if anything is ever perfect. They get their expectations so high that the event could never measure up and they are disappointed when they should be happy. Calm down and enjoy the moments. I have been married now for 11, 157 days. Looking back over the past 30 plus years I can tell all you engaged people that the "wedding day" was nowhere near the most important day in our marriage.
I can remember having so much fun at relatives weddings when I was a kid. Back then, 50 years ago, the whole family was always invited.
@@Ozziecatsmom Exactly, me too. It helped us to understand marriage and family and how we belonged in that family.
We love waking up and seeing more wedding drama
I was my mom’s flower girl when I was 3 and the ring bearer (also 3) and I decided to run circles around the pastor (my uncle). The wedding tape shows my mom’s eyes following us until her friend (ring bearer’s mom) grabbed us 🤣
My mom and I still laugh about it to this day.
The lost ring thing - we used our dog as the ring bearer - she was absolutely the best dog. The music was “how much is that doggie in the window” when she walked down the isle. My friend made a sort of backpack pillow with Velcro straps. With the rings Velcro-ed in a little pouch. Our best man was super stressed about it and ripped the ring off the pillow - so paranoid the dog would run off. But she she was the best dog. She really was. She wasn’t going anywhere. We had a nice wedding. Me with my poofy white dress, my doggie, my husband, and our paranoid best man.
BTW the best man is no longer our friend as his wife started physically assaulting my husband if he said something she didn’t like. This happened 3 times in a row and we said quit. Why am I telling you. Drinking wine on an empty stomach so - full confession here.
Has anyone else just had 🎶“somebody come get ‘er…” 🎶in charlottes voice stuck in their head all weekend? 😂
We had children at our wedding and the outdoor cocktail hour(s). We didn’t care if a baby cried during the ceremony because we knew our guest could just take them in the foyer til they calmed down and well, life happens 🤷🏼♀️ Then we hired a couple of sitters, and one of the rooms in the hotel we had the reception for. We got pizza, snacks and wedding cupcakes, along with games and videos for them during sit down dinner and dancing part. Parents could just go up and check on them if they worried, but none of them did (It was “fun times” for mom and dad! lol)
I get some people want to be funny during a wedding reception, but they cross the line to just cruel sometimes.
As far as the rings go, yeah, most people have the rings tied to the pillow, so even if the ring bearer drops the pillow or something, it's not that big of a deal.
Ok my sister-in-laws wedding wasn't "ruined" except the groom's mother never made it, she let people know she was going to intentionally be late and the bride said no no we are starting on time no matter what. So we did and during the reception we found out she got loaded and wrecked into a stop sign on the way to the wedding and ended up in the hospital.
Well, MIL was entirely correct for the first time in her life; she wasn't going to make that wedding. Irony at its finest. No sympathy for her.
@@Kayenne54 there was none 😂
There's strings on the ring bearers pillow FOR A REASON!!!!! 😅
I don't understand why people think it's a good idea to have a reception around a pool.
Ya, didn't see that coming at all!
