Have you ever been to a wedding/reception where you spent most of the time thinking "OMG- are you serious?"?

Yeah, my own! My wedding decor was awesome,but my mother in-law seriously brought a card board life size person...Bill Clinton actually, and printed out the face of my brother in-law and glued it on the cardboard body. It was so ridiculous and white trashy. I was so pissed. My brother in-law was serving a church mission at the time so he was unable to attend the wedding. Well, "mother in-law from hell" thought it would be a good idea to include him even if it was a cheap imitation. She put this hideous cardboard man person supposing to be the brother in-law in our wedding line and had us pose! So yeah, I have pictures that are suppose to be precious memories that really just crack everyone up! It was a serious joke. Well, nine years later we are still together, and mother in-law is still annoying today as she was nine years ago. So there ya have it...PRAY that you don't have a white trash mother in-law!

Oh yeah... Saturday actually. I went to an Irish/Country Western/Mexican themed wedding. My hubby was the best man. The groom made all the groomsmen wear pink vests with their "costumes" they were made to wear so they looked like they walked out of the movie Tombstone (I'm soooo not joking!). They all wore cowboy boots and hats and the bride walked down to bagpipe music.

The reception was decorated with cheap plastic tablecloths and had construction paper shamrocks on the tables. The brides sis in law made mexican food for the reception which was all burned or soggy, and the paper plates and plastic silverware made it even more impossible to eat!

Add to all that there was a cash bar and I didn't bring any cash (they didn't take cards!!)! And the fact that my hubby spent all night taking photos with the HUGE wedding party.... Ugh. Worst. Wedding. EVER.

I attended a wedding in which the theme was "Disney Princesses" with the Bride as Cinderella and her bridesmaids a variety of disney characters (ie: Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Belle) and the Groom and Groomsmen as the respective "princes". It was incredibly stupid and I only wish I could be there the day she takes a look at her wedding video and realizes it.

Can't say that I have ever been to a wedding like that. But hey, whatever works for them.

The only time I think I was saying, "OMG" at a wedding was when my friends sister had 1 maid of honor, 13 bridesmaids, 1 bestman, 13 groomsmen, 3 flowergirls and 3 ring bearers. I know that it has a lot to do with their culture and trying to include the family, but for me that was outrageous.

I was invited to a country wedding once. The GM blind folded the groom for the garter removal. A GM slipped into a prom dress and put the garter up his tigh. The unsuspecting groom went up his legt to remove the garte just to find out a hairy leg. It was hilarious, but very, very trashy. The bride was mortified.

Same wedding, when they were cutting the cake, the groom grabbed a huge piece of cake and throwed it at her and RUBBED it all over her hair and face. It was humiliating.

To top the classiness off, at the end of the night, the rowdy GM eat the goldfishes from the centerpieces alive with shots of tequila.

Have to love the midwest

Good luck

My very preppy clean cut friend married a girl who couldn't even bleach or wax her upper lip hair for her wedding day. Very little effort was put into her personal appearance for her most special day.

The wedding itself was held at a church on a naval base and the reception didn't start for two hours after the ceremony had ended. Thankfully, I had lived in the town months earlier so I knew my way around and was able to do something to fill the time. Other out of town guests were not so lucky.

At the reception, the food was cold, the drinks were watered down, the music was horrible and the new couple didn't even greet the guests and thank them for coming.

I left early and partied in my hotel suite instead.

No, the variety of weddings has been quite nice and refreshing.

But, lol, the one you describe would have been one of my dream weddings! As it was, we had pink, lilac, yellow and light teal!

Happy colours are lovely for a wedding - and a shame that one minority group is laying claim to a certain range of colours!

Can't say that I have. Most of the weddings I have been to were incredibly lowkey and they never would have gotten away with anything wild for all the proper mothers and grandmothers in the crowd.

Sounds like a good laugh. However, at least it was a fun time. I went to a cousins wedding that was in a dirty church basement. Plastic forks and spoons, paper plates, no alcohol of any kind, subs served for dinner. So yes... I have been to a wedding where I was thinking "Are you serious?"

To each his own.

I personally think the princess, castle, glass slipper, horse and carriage thing is stupid, but that's just me. I say, let the bride and groom decide for themselves.
