Mildred Pombo: I hate waiting any more than an hour between the ceremony and reception. An hour is plenty of time to get good pictures. I hate paying for water/ milk/ soda/ juice. I'm fine with paying for alcohol, but not non-alcoholic drinks.I hate weddings at those places that are basically wedding factories, and there are 4 weddings going on at the same time, just seems impersonal to me....Show more
Alden Sabio: Dollar dance - so incredibly tackyUnity sand - it's so boring to watch45+ minute ceremonies...really? Please I'm losing the will to live here after your 6 soloists, the violin ensemble, slideshow, interpretive dance etc etc
Stevie Kizziar: -Smashing the cake. It's juvenile and tacky.-Drunk guests, but particularly drunk bride/groom and/or bridal party. And I don't mean just inebriated, I mean falling down, throwing up, being obnoxious drunk. -Dollar dances--loved what Blunt said, the only people who should dance for money are strippers-Any other ! way to "raise money" at the reception. I've seen everything from wishing wells to leaving "tips" for the couple. It's obnoxious, rude and tacky.-Cash bars. Either provide the alcohol, or go dry. At the very least, you should host tea, coffee and soda for your guests. -Pot luck. If you're old/mature enough to get married, then either have a party where you don't treat it like a church social, or don't invite as many folks.-People who stack their invite list. These are brides/grooms who invite basically every person they've ever met in their lives, all in the effort to garner as many gifts as they can. People see through it, so don't do it. If you haven't had a relationship with your 3rd grade teacher for years, then he/she's going to wonder why in the world you're sending them a wedding invite.-Registry information in the invites. Yes, I know people do it. It's tacky, and you can read any number of articles on any number of websites and magazines that say not to d! o it, yet folks still do it. -Toasts that go on and on and on! . Limit your speeches to under 3 minutes apiece, and no longer than 10-15 minutes total. Folks came to party, not to listen to your friends ramble on and on.-Playing the slideshow as part of "entertainment." It's fine to have a little slideshow running off in a corner that folks can stop by and peruse at their will, but to make folks sit through 15 minutes of pictures of the bride and groom gets tiresome. If you think about it as you're planning your wedding, think about how YOU would like to be treated as a guest, and then treat your guests likewise. It's where the golden rule really works, treat others as you would like to be treated. If you wouldn't want to see something done at someone else's wedding, then by all means DON'T do it at yours! :)...Show more
Dorinda Metzer: -Couples smashing cake in each other faces. It's a sad spectacle.-Cash bars, specially surprise cash bars where you even have to pay for water and pop-Those redneck gold fish center pieces.! I find them unethical, gross and cruel.-Camouflage weddings. The worse of the worse theme.-The dollar dance. The only ones that should dance for money are strippers. Good luck...Show more
Shemeka Laker: I hate it when the bride or groom or both get dead drunk. It is an obvious sign that the relationship wont last if they don't even want to be mentally present for the day.As for the girl talking about the registry, she should rethink that one. It is standard wedding edict that every guest invited to the wedding gives a gift to the bride and groom. A registry is for showing what the bride and groom need and want....Show more
Jerald Florence: Tacky wedding registry hints included in the invitation.Gifts should be freely given if said guest chooses to do so!Registry = Tacky (especially if you Already live together)
Brenton Cornwall: The worst is seeing a very drunk bride and groom, and them smashing the cake in each other's faces. I also don't like buffets ! (food is always lesser quality and cold), the garter spectacle, the tos! sing of the bouquet, cash bars, and cheap wedding cake.
Lanita Reichman: Bride and groom smashing cake into each other's faces tops the list; it's just gross.
Sang Hanafin: Having any part of the wedding & reception covering dinnertime (5pm to 7pm) and the couple not serving a meal.It sucked to have to eat dinner at 3pm to get in the car to be to the wedding at 5:30pm immediately followed by the reception with just snacks!If you can't afford to feed your guests a meal, don't expect them to be at your wedding or reception during dinnertime!...Show more
Irvin Guiles: My #1 is the dollar dance.#2 - when the bride and groom don't even acknowledge your presence.#3 - cake smashing in each other's faces.
Sammy Kar: i hate little kids being there, as all they do is cry throughout the ceremony and it annoys me...
Len Bormes: Yeah thats funny!!! I wouldnt dare tell my family that they're next for a funeral though because I'll get in trouble. My family ru! ns there mouth.
Donte Hamme: My biggest - by far - is a huge gap between ceremony and reception. What are guests supposed to do - go back home and play with themselves?!? I was at a wedding once where there was a 5 hour gap, and the happy couple was still almost an hour late to the reception. I thought that day would never end. And I love weddings!
Cassidy Pangrazio: I loathe it when they smash cake into each other's face. Hate it.I don't like it when they decide to get too raunchy with the garter. A little, in jest, is one thing, but sticking your entire head up her dress for 5 minutes is too dang much. Yes, I've been to a wedding where this happened.I hate to see registry info on the invite, it's just rudeI hate waiting FOREVER for the bride and groom to make their entrance to the receptionI recently attended a wedding where the reception was just cake and punch on site, which is just ducky, I'm all for having the wedding you can afford, but I found it ! incredibly tacky with the aunt of the groom went around to select table! s and informed some, but not all of the guests of a large dinner to continue the reception at her house afterwards. Secret after parties? Really? Just because this post feels so negative, here's what I love, even though you didn't ask:I enjoy slide shows. Often, I only know either the bride or the groom, not both, so it's nice to see pictures of their livesI like kids being involved..I know they can be chaotic, but I just like family style weddingsI like brides who seem genuinely happy, not like they need a valium or have recently taken a valiumI big happy weddings in general....Show more
Lawanna Livsey: A large gap of time after the ceremony before the bride and groom make it to the reception. It`s a cocktail hour, not cocktail three hours.A DJ playing really bad music, usually from requests from preteens or kids in attendance at the wedding.A long ceremony. Sorry, but for me it`s true....Show more
Alexandria Popik: A larger gap of time between the ceremon! y and reception is a big one on my list. I don't understand what couples expect their guests to do for 2-3 hours between events? I love hearing the excuse you can go back to the hotel and relax and refresh. Cause the 45 minute ceremony really killed my outfit and stressed me out so much??Also, when a slideshow is it's own segment of the wedding. I think it is cute when you have it displayed on a wall on a loop for people to enjoy at their own time, but everyone sitting there for 20 minutes looking at your childhood/college/sweetheart years together played to cheesy music is so boring I get the urge to drink. Kids at weddings are a big annoyance to, I love children (currently expecting 2 of them myself) but I find it inappropriate for little ones to be at weddings. Really what are they getting out of this experience, the joy of seeing 2 people share their love? Hardly. Half the time they are running around unattended, messing with the gifts and kinda getting in the w! ay. - gift info on invitations- lack of seating arrangements (becomes ! a free for all FAST)- dollar dances- serve yourself kegs/alcohol...Show more
Chet Nozick: To be honest with you, I'm not a fan of weddings that allow everyone's little kids. It's not that I don't like children, but it's more of a sense of appropriateness. Here, weddings rarely include kids unless they are part of the wedding party and parents do not mind in the least. A friend of mine decided to allow people to bring their kids and ended up regretting it about 20 minutes in.I'm also don't like seeing the bride and groom actually mingle with their guests. I find it a little bit rude when they just keep to themselves and do not make an effort to go around and in the rare times they do, need to do it ALL together.Also the wedding registries. It's not the idea of a registry that I don't like, it's more of what's put in it. I know a couple who have put a Wii, all these games, about 20 board games and every silly, frivolous game and toy you could think of. I have no ! desire to fund YOUR desire for a video game system--that's not my responsibility and it's inappropriate to put on a WEDDING registry.Being told outright that we should give money or a gift card. I'm not an idiot, but I'm also not an ATM....Show more
Blair Abdi: Ritz crackers and deli cheese as "hors d'ouevres."Wedding cakes from the grocery store with that gross whipped cream frosting that makes you want to barf.Plastic table clothes.Christmas lights.Yards and yards of white tulle.Receptions that are like a night club.Paper plates, plastic forks.A keg.Getaway car covered in paint marker and trash.Bride wearing flipflops/slippers/anything other than formal shoes.Those stupid plastic shoe/swan/shell mint holders.Dogs.A groom who clearly does NOT want to be there.EDIT: Ooooh, looks like some people are offended at being called out for cheap and tacky wedding decor!...Show more
Billie Bratchett: I've been to some seriously disturbing weddings but the things that ha! ppened at those weddings I truly believe to be anomalies. (best man do! ing a strip tease for the mother of the bride, Bride and Groom dry humping each other during the garter removal for the toss, Grandmother of the groom drunk announcing to everyone at the reception that the bride was and is a goat faced wh*re.) I hope this is not the sort of stuff you will be dealing with at your wedding. More commonly the only thing I really dislike that I hear, see and read about is the cake face smash. I really hate that....Show more
Kenneth Blacker: I don't really hate it or despise it so much as think it's cheezy to the extreme and that's when either the bride or groom 'serenade' the other.......I think including the dogs and cats in the bridal party is rediculous.Slide shows are just like Uncle Ernie's Vacation slides...'yawn'What I really do hate is the cake schmoosh in the face-so disrespectful and immature.The groom climbing up inside the bride's dress and pulling the garter off with his teeth...how crude can one get...and I'm getting so ! tired of all the brides looking the same in strapless dresses, it's become a uniform now....no originality, just variations on the same damn theme-strapless, with the veil in the back under the bun........Show more
Rashad Marecki: Oh, gosh, so many things!Small children, first of all, unless they're part of the wedding party. Especially in churches/cathedrals where noise is amplified twenty times! I like to enjoy a wedding, not sit there wishing I'd brought earplugs or my earphones and play some music to drown out the shrill screams (I've never done that though haha, I'm not that rude). Sure, some kids are fine, but in general kids under six years old are just going to be up and screaming and walking around in the church.Also, when the garter thing gets too... intense. Yes, it's tradition at a lot of weddings but after you know, five minutes, what are we supposed to think is going on under that dress? It gets pretty awkward for the guests, if you know what I mean. I w! ould never include the garter toss or whatever people call it nowadays ! in my wedding. The wedding registry included on the invitation! I feel that it just says "Come, give me my gift, and leave." I don't know, but I hate it. And when it says to bring a check or cash! When I'm at my friends' weddings and family weddings, the invitations never say that for some reason, but when I'm going to a wedding where I'm not as close to people, it's like they want me to bring them their paycheck! I'm not the bank nor am I your employer.A terrible cake! People spend so much time matching the centerpiece for the tables to the bride's eyes and they can't even order a decent cake. Instead, there's those cakes with that disgusting frosting that tastes like whipped cream that's been sitting out for days. Different food for each "class" of guests. I'm not saying their actual social classes, but rather how close they are to the bride and groom. So the best friends get some good food and it starts to go down by "rank." It's just unacceptable! I've seen this done be! fore.Plastic table cloths. I went to a wedding recently where they had plastic table cloths, paper plater, and plastic forks! It's like being paid with Monopoly money. Uh... what am I supposed to do with this?Cake in the bride and groom's faces! It's immature and simply disgusting.Keg. I didn't come to a frat party, I came to a wedding. If you want alcohol, pay for an open bar.Long toasts... If there's going to be a long toast, tell us ahead of time so that I can order 25 dirty martinis. I'm no drinker but if I have to sit through 20 minutes of cheezy music and every moment captured on on a camera of someone's life, I'm going to become one.There's more, but that's all I can think of!...Show more
Silvia Stclair: I hate it when the bride and groom feed one another wedding cake and but on purpose shove it in each other's faces ! Tacky.
Oscar Wieland: I hate watching slideshows. I don't need a montage of the bride and groom's lives to be appreciative of their love.! Especially because almost all my friends have Facebook or other social! networking, so they are pics we have all seen before..but set to music and lasting 20 minutes.
Alvaro Oare: As i stated in an earlier question... I HATE wedding veil hats.
Marti Declue: Cash Bars - making your guests pay for anything is rude. If you can't afford an open bar have a dry wedding or limited bar.Dollar Dance - your wedding is not a fundraiser!Animal releases (butterflies for example) - cruelty to animals is not okay...Show more
Sabra Roers: Cash bar
