🤯 INCRÍVEL: Folks Online Get Second-Hand Embarrassment When They See These 33 Things At Weddings 😲
In the past weddings were more viewed as a religious ritual and celebration so it had a more strict format with the things that were supposed to happen. In contemporary times people who are getting married can personalize the fest to their own taste and ditch the parts they don’t feel match their personalities.
Even though weddings now are very different, there are traditions from the past that people still like to include and there are new ones forming. But whether it’s tradition or not, some things at weddings seem just cringey and unnecessary. Such as the ones that Reddit users shared when they were asked, “What in weddings makes you cringe?”

Assuming from the popularity of the answers people in the thread gave, the traditions they mentioned are slowly becoming less popular. The best person to ask if it’s true is the one who plans weddings so Bored Panda reached out to certified wedding planner Ivy Summer, author of Poise Over Panic: How to Plan a Wedding in a Pandemic.
It seems that the clients that Ivy worked with have a similar outlook to what is cringey as in her experience, “Many couples are forgoing the garter removal and garter toss. They either think it doesn’t quite suit them as a couple, or they think it’s cheesy.”
While there are couples who are certain in what they want to skip, others might think that they need to follow the usual wedding traditions because maybe they feel pressure from parents, friends or society in general, but Ivy will always advise them “to rethink traditions that don’t match them as a couple. In fact, I’ll encourage them to think of new wedding traditions they want to incorporate that match them as a couple.” Because there aren’t any rules and discovering an individual tradition might be more fun.
While considering which wedding traditions are worth following for them personally, Ivy’s clients like to rethink “the father-daughter dance–they’ll often think of incorporating their children (if they have kids already). Another tradition that clients rethink is whether they want to force the garter catcher and the bouquet catcher to dance together (many choose to forgo that altogether).”
As I’m currently planning mine its simply the sheer cost and overcharging of anything wedding based. Asked a venue for a quote for just the premises and was told £9000! Phoned back the next day and said it was for a birthday party and exactly the same thing came back as £4500!
Just recently went to a wedding where the bride and groom were in their early 20s. This is in the U. S. and a progressive state. In the vows the bride said “The man is the head of the household. I will submit to my husband.” Pretty cringe.
When the groom goes up the bride’s skirt in front of all their family. It’s so extremely weird and out of place to me. Like why would you want to do that in front of your parents and grandparents? I really don’t get why that’s even a tradition.
Despite weddings being so personalized incorporating family traditions or starting new ones, they do have trends and even more so among people who organize the event themselves, “Weddings definitely have trends, especially in the DIY wedding landscape. I notice how they change by flipping through wedding portfolios by wedding planners and sites like Aisle Planner. But the easiest way to see how they change is by asking brides and grooms what they like when it comes to aesthetics, which is often influenced by pop culture (e.g. what you find on Instagram).”
The nature of a trend is that it doesn’t last too long and isn’t as impactful to become a real tradition that lasts through generations, but there is a trend that Ivy would like to see revived, “I’m not sure when the Cha Cha Slide became a natural wedding tradition, but I think it’s one that is absolutely timeless and should never die.”
In my country it’s the amount of people present in the wedding, there are weddings where they call like 500-1000 people, lot of them are family members and friends they have not met in years or decades. To provide food to these people many will go in debt. It makes me cringe so hard like why f*****g throw away your life savings like this? I believe court marriage is the best but if you still want invite people then 50-60 (close friends & family members are enough). I personally will just invite like 15-20 people I genuinely care about, take them to some nice resturant for dinner and be done with it.
Are there any wedding traditions that you would like to see making a come-back? Do you think the couple should consider what their guests would enjoy and not include things that might make them feel uncomfortable? Or would you say that as it’s the couple’s celebration, they can do whatever they want? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
The jealous mother in law. They always do something to make me cringe. They wear a white dress, pretend to be the boss at the wedding, take a lot of the attention etc.
The trend of wanting the women in the wedding party to look alike, even to the point of asking them to change their hair color. Along with that goes giving specific directions as to what guests may wear.
When the bride and groom are musicians. Get ready for an hour of a couple singing s***tty covers of overrated love songs to each other.
When there are multiple unruly kids running around and/or screaming spoiling the first dance or any special moments for the couple.
When the bride or groom does something disrespectful like smashing their nose into the cake. Or writing “help me” on the bottom of the groom’s shoes. They say one in three marriages ends in divorce, guess this will be one of them.
those women that try way too hard to catch the bouquet that the bride throws. some literally to the point of pushing others over. i feel embarrassed just watching them lol.
Here in the middle east the cringe part is definitely the fireworks What I mean by fireworks is our special fireworks the AK-47 to the air kinda stuff countless lives were lost because of falling bullets many laws were put to stop it yet in every wedding you have this monkey that pulls the weapon and just starts spraying bullets everywhere
The guests who have no respect for the people working on there. I work as a waiter on all kind of weddings and I’ve met a lot of people that treated me and my coworkers like trash just because we are doing our job. A few weeks ago I saw how some of the guests stole a special plate of jamón specially made for the bride and groom, and when a coworker tried to take the plate back, the guy who stole it threatened to sue him.
Ohhhhhh boy do I have a f*****g LIST. Where to begin? 1. Writing your vows in such a way that you essentially air your dirty laundry in front of everyone, almost to the point of admitting that you constantly fight. 2. Garter toss – this is disgusting and awkward as [darn] 3. Overly drunk groomsmen/bridesmaids. Especially if it’s during the ceremony. 4. Overly drunk groom/bride 5. If it’s clear the groom/bride had [intimacy] in the middle of the reception. 6. Any jokes about a man’s life being over bc he’s married now. 7. Oversharing during speeches. 8. Grinding on the dance floor.
The obsession of everything being “perfect” The cost of everything. But my biggest cringe moment is the blatantly obvious grabs for cash from the couple. Bridal showers, Bachelor and bachelorette parties, Gifts at the wedding, Wishing wells, Dollar dances, “Kidnapping” the bride for a ransom, The Gift registry, The Honeymoon registry, I’ve even been invited to a “pre wedding BBQ” which was potluck and they sold tickets to it and gifts were expected. When I asked the bride what the deal was she said she was trying to figure out who would give them the most expensive gifts so she could invite them to the wedding. It was gross.
Any wedding where the bridesmaids and groomsmen have been ordered to perform a choreographed dance at any point during the festivities whether that’s dancing up the aisle or a full on dance number during the reception.
The bride being “given away” by a male relative. I get that we have whitewashed it and some people may not realise it, but the whole concept is not chivalrous at all. Its about the patriarch of the family literally giving the chattel he owns to another man. Literally a property exchange. Not romantic in the slightest.
When people write their own vows but they don’t actually promise anything. They just ramble for a few minutes about how much they love the other and how perfect they are. Like the whole point of wedding vows is to make commitments.
Having a wedding for the sake of getting married. I had a friend from high school who got pregnant at like 20/21. The only reason she had a wedding with baby daddy is because she was pregnant. I knew that the marriage wouldn’t last. It didn’t but she is happily married to her second husband and has been for a few years.
I went to a wedding the other night where each member of the wedding party had their own theme song like at a baseball game, as they walked down the aisle. The bride walked down the aisle to another one bites the dust.
That part when a priest asks if anyone knows a reason for those two not to marry and everyone pretends they didn’t hear the question.
Well not an American custom but an Indian one where after the wedding there is a custom called ‘vidaai’ meaning separation for some sort in this bride and her [darn] whole family cries because she is leaving I’m like then why are you marrying anyway when y’ll just wanna cry about it.
Always thought the big lavish wedding thing was dumb and kinda cringe Then I had a lavish romantic wedding for me and my husband I instantly understood
