Wedding Pet Peeves *Just for Fun*

1. I get annoyed when people use songs that to me are break-up songs

2. I hate when the cake is fondant (ewwy)

3. I dislike it when the bride and groom don't say hi to everyone, or at least me!

1) Uninvited Guests

2) People criticizing that I don't want kids at the ceremony (FSIL said "you might as well not invite so-and-so's wife since you are cutting out kids". I was like ummmmmmm its not the same thing)

3) People telling me to spend whatever since its my wedding day

1. I haven't been to many weddings, but one thing I didn't like was the sweetheart table on a pedestal. I felt like it made the couple unapproachable. Maybe that's what they were going for. But it made me feel awkward when I had to leave and wanted to say congrats and goodbye.

2. @PurpleSun my FH has me scared of all the uninvited guests he thinks we're going to have. So, that would have to be another peeve.

3. When the wedding party rings a bell and says the bride is coming. Horrible..

1. I hate receiving lines!

2. Cash bars. Boooo!

3. Couples who don't send out STD's. They aren't common within my family circle, and a lot of the family didn't show up at one cousin's wedding because they didn't send out STD's for a summer wedding and people had already made summer vacation plans, including non-refundable deposits.

1 I hate when people begin standing when the bridal party walks down the isle, YOU STAND for the BRIDE!!

2 I dislike cash bars. Pick one or the other, I don't bring cash with me for a wedding, don't tease me.

3 don't know the what you call it but I hate when they do the ring the bell and the bride/groome has to kiss. Bell, sing a song, dollar in the jar...any of them.

1. Cash bar

2. Anything asking for money (money dance, honeymoon jar etc)

3. Too much of the "if guests don't like it, too bad it's my my my my wedding" attitude

#1!!!! Trying to do a Ritzy/fancy glam wedding when it is really not in the budget! I've been to a wedding that held the reception at an extremely fancy and expensive social club. But they had to skimp on EVERYTHING else. minimal food, cash bar, short time frame, no ambiance, etc. It would have been nicer if they just down scaled the $$$ venue and actually ENJOYED the wedding.

Agreed on the break-up songs, also line-dances and songs that tell you how to dance in the lyrics. (Timewarp excepted).

Lack of marked parking.

Multiple parties using the same venue with no signs indicating which party is where.

Receiving lines

Throwing rice- dont kill birds

Ceremonies that are to preachy - just say nice things about love and commitment.

Sexist traditions.

When the parents of the bride or groom pretend to be still married even though everyone knows they are divorced and have been divorced for years.

1) Uninvited guests

2) Parents complaining about their kids not being invited - or if they are, not watching their children while they're there

3) Not including the significant others of the wedding party at the head table

4) Cake in the face. That poor woman spent all day getting beautiful and probably spent a bunch of money on her dress, don't ruin it with cake! If FH smashes cake in my face, the honeymoon will be REALLY short!

1. friends (which I don't see very often) of my siblings asking how the wedding planning is going...or asking if i have been here or there b/c they got their stuff there.

2. not allowing significant others to sit with WP (not a huge fan of head tables in general)

3. no dancing / flow / poor dj/mc.

Definitely second smashing cake in the face. You're supposed to respect and love each other... that's not a good start!

Also, children. Haha, I don't like children in general, but especially at a wedding they need to behave or stay home!

1. Family members freaking out over us not inviting distant family members we haven't spoken to in 10+ years.

2. Uninvited guests

3. Crying babies during a ceremony. I really get angry when parents don't take their kids out of the room when they start screaming during someones vows, I would rather have an unexpected guest than that.

1.) People who the bride and groom dislike trying to invite themselves anyway

2.) Criticisms from judgmental people

3.) Ringtones, babies crying, and any other obnoxious interruptions during the ceremony

1. When a female guest wears a white dress. I feel like the bride should be the only woman in the room wearing white. I've joked to my MOH that if any female wears white to keep buckets of red paint on standby! Lol

2. If kids are invited, their parents need to watch them. A wedding is no reason to let your kid run wild. As a mother, I will be damned if my son acts like a crazy person on someone elses big day...especially on mine!

3. disorganization. I'm a bit neurotic so I'm pretty much planning every detail of the day and giving tasks out so my day can run as smoothly as possible.

4. A bridal party dance. To me it's always seemed unnecessary.

Definitly the crying children..that would be my ultimate bridezilla moment if someone did that to me (especially since it is a no children wedding altogether)

cake smashing is a big no-no

when people get carried away with the clinking of silverware on glass to make the B&G kiss.. seriously they sat down for 5 seconds let them enjoy their meal, would you like to stand up and kiss every other minute??

Hehe fun thread

1. Money dances

2. Registry info with actual invite

3. Cash bars-- agree with Moria to pick one or the other

- People expecting to be invited.

- Overly traditional weddings. It's just not my thing and then add in the bad hotel food, and I get really bored.

1. when it looks as if the FH never picked a single thing for the wedding

2. Overly taditional weddings with no personality

3. kids running like wild men through the reception

Quick Q! whats a receiving line...? lol

It's when the wedding party stands at the exit to the church (that's the only place I've seen it done) and all the guests filter through as they're leaving and say congrats to the couple. I'm shy and it's always made me uncomfortable because usually I've never met most of the wedding party before and I have no idea what to say to them!
