“Too chaotic for me”: Bride and groom slammed for “unreasonable” wedding rules
A bride and groom has been slammed online for giving their wedding guests an extensive list of rules they must abide by on their big day.
The list of 15 demands was shared on Reddit, where social media users tore the newlyweds to shreds with their “unreasonable” rules.
The post racked up thousands of comments on the Wedding Shamers subreddit, with one person writing, 'If someone sent this to me, I would simply just not go.'
The rules included that guests needed to remember their opinions on the wedding are “irrelevant” while also banning attendees from “sitting down all night” or making their own big announcements.
The first rule urged guests to remember that this was the bride and groom's big day, “not yours”, while also telling guests, “Do not get in the photographer's way.”
They also made a strict dress code, writing, “the attire is BLACK and/or GOLD not red, blue, green and definitely NO WHITE!”
“Do not rearrange the seats, we have a seating chart for a reason.”
The rules continued, “If you didn't put out any money for the wedding, keep your "should've, could've, would've" to yourself. Your opinion is irrelevant.”
But the couple did not stop there as they also urged guests to pace themselves when drinking and banned “big announcements or proposals.”
Next up, it read, “If you can't handle or dislike the music being played, simply go home. This is a celebration, not a funeral.”
The lovebirds then instructed their friends and family to use their own personalised hashtag when posting photos on social media.
Rounding out the demands, the final five read, “Do not sit down all night. No outside liquor. If caught, you will be escorted out.”
“Refer back to rule number one. The bride and groom said what they said! Turn ALL the way up!”
The post was soon flooded with comments with many insisting that the couple had taken it too far.
One person wrote, “What kind of list is this? Too chaotic for me.”
Another person added, “Yeah, I would not be going to that wedding. Sounds like too much drama.”
On the other hand, there were a few commenters who understood the need for issuing such strict guidelines and defended the couple.
One person wrote, “They're not asking for anything out of order. They're just stating what should be obvious, but they probably have seen from their family and friends past behaviour, that it NEEDS to be addressed.”
“Is it a little tacky? Yes, but the only people that will be bothered by any of it are the ones that would have been an issue.”
