Wedding Moments That Are Totally Cringeworthy

Your wedding day is supposed to be a special occasion; the one day in your life when everything is beautiful and perfect and totally focused on you. Of course, while this might be a popular fantasy, real life never goes this smoothly.

Here are some true stories of weddings that descended into terrible cringe moments for everyone involved.

$250 Minimum

Weddings can be expensive, but that’s not something you can mitigate. This couple is trying to ensure a return on their investment by insisting that guests make a purchase of over $250. If they’re looking for a get rich quick scheme, getting married probably isn’t it.

Slave Labor

An experienced professional photographer who will work for free without breaks or even getting fed is not just hard to find, they’re impossible to find. Nevertheless, this couple seems to be under the impression that they can find someone who’s been doing this job for over a decade who will willingly work for free, and bring their own food.

Family is All We Have

This poor woman’s aunt is trying to convince her to attend the wedding of her cousin to a man that cheated on her, because “family is all we have.” If this is the family she has, she probably doesn’t want it.

Poor Choice of Timing

Pro tip: if you’re planning on asking someone to marry you, don’t pop the question while on the dance floor during their sister’s wedding reception. There’s a time and a place for a proposal, and that place is not, shall we say, upstage.
