Couple receive huge backlash after giving wedding guests 15 unbelievably strict rules

Couple receive huge backlash after giving wedding guests 15 unbelievably strict rules

A bride and groom told guests who didn't want to follow the rules to go home

A bride and groom ended up getting called out for the incredibly long and demanding list of rules they gave to guests at their wedding.

While it's supposed to be the happiest day of your life and you'd love everything to be perfect, there's got to be a point where you realise you're becoming a dictator.

One couple's 15 point list found its way onto Reddit, where people immediately started picking it apart for some of the things it was asking of wedding guests.

The rules ranged from enforcing a strict dress code to telling guests to 'simply go home' if they didn't like the music.

People said the list was choc full of 'red flags' and pointed towards 'bridezilla/groomzilla s**t' being afoot.

The rules are thus:

  1. This is the bride and groom's big day, not yours.
  2. Do not get in the photographer's way.
  3. The attire is BLACK and/or GOLD, not red, blue, green and definitely NO WHITE!
  4. Do not rearrange seats, we have a seating chart for a reason.
  5. If you didn't put out any money for the wedding, keep your should've, could've, would've to yourself. Your opinion is irrelavent (sic).
  6. Pace yourself when drinking.
  7. No big announcements or proposals.
  8. If you can't handle or dislike the music being played, simply go home. This is a celebration, not a funeral.
  9. This is a 'Taking over for the 99' & 2000s type of event, so there will be twerking.
  10. Use the bride and groom's hashtag when posting pics.
  11. Do not sit down all night.
  12. No outside liquor. If caught, you will be escorted out.
  13. Refer back to rule #1.
  14. The bride and groom said what they said!
  15. Turn ALLLL the way up!

Sounds like a fun event, doesn't it?

In fairness, some of these rules are actually pretty reasonable, especially since it is meant to be the happy couple's big day and anything you can do to make the photographer's job easier is just good manners.

Pacing yourself while drinking is also some wise advice, and it is up to the bride and groom on how to plan their day.

Still, as one Redditor put it, the requests might sound more reasonable if they were 'rewritten to not sound like an asshole'.

Another wondered whether some of these more specific rules were 'targeted at specific family members', but someone else told them those family members would definitely be 'the ones who won't actually read it'.

Sometimes a rule is there for a reason.

"Grandma needs to get her 90 year old geriatric ass up out of the seat and move around damnit!" said one person poking fun at the rule which commanded guests not to be sat down for the entire night.
