Publish Not your original work? Add source A wedding is a beautiful thing. When done correctly, it's a personal celebration of love; a proverbial fusion of two souls into one. At its worst, however, it can morph into a money-hungry industry, chasing after every penny in your pocket. This is largely because there are a lot of outdated and quite frankly superficial customs that have been carrying on for far too long, mainly due to social inertia. Interested in these cases, Reddit user u/mathsoprano17 posted a question on the platform: "What's the dumbest wedding tradition?" And they got plenty of replies. Below, you will find some of the most popular ones that should make you rethink what a typical modern ceremony ought to look like.

View more comments #10 I feel like I'm gonna be one of the very few people to think this, but I think the whole 'be given away at the alter' thing is weird.

Over priced, silly, they all pretty much look the same. They're like 90% frosting, and even if you try to get a nice cake, they taste like sandpaper after the six hours they have to be out to be decorated. No one at the party actually wants to eat it, so you end up with about eighty pounds of left over cake.
My husband and I went to a local cupcake shop and order cupcakes, all different varieties. They were made fresh and decorated the morning of, low on frosting because we asked. We put them nicely on the table and when the party was done, we had boxes for everyone to take some home in. People took them into work or school the next day, and it was like we were sharing our happiness with the whole world.

In all of them, I had to "pair up" with a groomsman, who I was expected to flirt with and "act like a couple" with. This was usually for photos, but also for walking down the aisle. In all three cases, I didn't know the groomsmen and didn't appreciate the implication that we were a couple just because we had to walk together down the aisle.
For example, i had to take group photos where the groomsman I was paired with had to dip me and look lovingly into my eyes. I don't even know that guy's name. At my sister's wedding, I had to walk down the aisle arm-in-arm with my brother-in-law's brother (I was 13, he was 22) and he had to kiss my hand. This was all orchestrated by the mothers-in-law who thought it was precious.
I also had to take pictures where all the bridesmaids would swoon over the groom (and vice versa with groomsmen and the bride), with the implication that we are all jealous that the bride got such a great catch and we wish WE were getting married to him. I was there to support my friend on her wedding day by being her bridesmaid - I am NOT there to secretly undermine her or feel envious.
When I eventually got married, I had a consultation with my photographer. I whipped out these photos and said, 'I don't want THAT.' She laughed and said she hated those too. anon , Joeyy Lee Report Final score: 150points POST Sadia Timmermans Sadia Timmermans Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Never heard of this, never seen this.

I think most of the traditions are dumb.
- I don't want to do a first dance with everyone staring at me. Awkward and unnecessary.
- I don't want to take the garter off of her and throw it to some dudes.
- The dollar dance is dumb
- I wish "Give me money" was an acceptable registry for wedding gifts. No, no gift cards. Money. I've been hassled relentlessly for months about what gifts I want. I want money because this wedding is expensive. That's it.
- The tradition of pricing everything up once the word "wedding" is mentioned. Great photoshoot for your family -- $300. Wedding photos of the same quality and quantity -- $1500. Yeah, I'll gladly just have friends whip out an iPhone and take pics and edit them myself. TheRealHooks , TranStudios Photography & Video Report Final score: 60points POST Isabella Isabella Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago A good professional photography is not about the portrait or group photos.

I was excited to BE married... I wasn't excited to GET married. I think there's too much of an emphasis on rings, gowns, and impressing all of your guests. I walked into the bridal shop, tried on ONE dress, and said "Ok, good to go!" I believe it was maybe $250. We ordered our rings off of Amazon for probably $50-$75 each, at the most.
A wedding should be about celebrating a commitment to one another, not spending a down payment on a house to throw a party, in my opinion. This holds true, especially, for those people that spend money they don't have on it. I could have just walked down to the courthouse with my ex and been just as happy. I would rather have the money to save for a home for a future family or a college fund for future kids than on a single day of my life.

You can choose not to follow them. People could wear nice clothes of their own choosing, no wedding showers, rehearsal dinners, demeaning garter throwing, or absurd expenses. A lot less debt-inducing and much more fun! In other parts of the world we have some silly stuff too, like the Swedish one and the dad walking the bride to her groom. But we’re working on that. Don’t listen to the salespeople and do what makes you happy! 24 24points reply Paula Pattison Paula Pattison Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago This is what I was thinking the whole way through this article. I have never seen or heard of most of these traditions. My wedding cake was a dense fruit cake, you could have broken someone's nose if you smashed it into their face (we kept the bottom layer, soaked in plenty of brandy and used it as my son's christening cake) 9 9points reply Load More Replies... censorshipsucks censorshipsucks Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago British? 0 0points reply BobTDG BobTDG Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Gotta be one of us 1 1point reply S S Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago As an American, I've never heard of most of these.

I hate the noise. I hate the spectacle. I hate the "command performance" feeling. We told everyone we weren't going to do it, but a few of my aunts tried it, anyway. George planted a smooch on his best man's cheek, and I kissed one of my pals on the top of the head. They didn't clink glasses any more after that. Guys, if a couple says they don't want to do a thing at their wedding, don't try to force them to do the thing. 6 6points reply Aunt Riarch Aunt Riarch Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Muwahaha! 1 1point reply Load More Replies...

35 Of The Dumbest Wedding Traditions People Hope Will Disappear As Soon As Possible
Rokas Laurinavičius andMantas Kačerauskas
Publish Not your original work? Add source A wedding is a beautiful thing. When done correctly, it's a personal celebration of love; a proverbial fusion of two souls into one. At its worst, however, it can morph into a money-hungry industry, chasing after every penny in your pocket. This is largely because there are a lot of outdated and quite frankly superficial customs that have been carrying on for far too long, mainly due to social inertia. Interested in these cases, Reddit user u/mathsoprano17 posted a question on the platform: "What's the dumbest wedding tradition?" And they got plenty of replies. Below, you will find some of the most popular ones that should make you rethink what a typical modern ceremony ought to look like.

Over priced, silly, they all pretty much look the same. They're like 90% frosting, and even if you try to get a nice cake, they taste like sandpaper after the six hours they have to be out to be decorated. No one at the party actually wants to eat it, so you end up with about eighty pounds of left over cake.
My husband and I went to a local cupcake shop and order cupcakes, all different varieties. They were made fresh and decorated the morning of, low on frosting because we asked. We put them nicely on the table and when the party was done, we had boxes for everyone to take some home in. People took them into work or school the next day, and it was like we were sharing our happiness with the whole world.

In all of them, I had to "pair up" with a groomsman, who I was expected to flirt with and "act like a couple" with. This was usually for photos, but also for walking down the aisle. In all three cases, I didn't know the groomsmen and didn't appreciate the implication that we were a couple just because we had to walk together down the aisle.
For example, i had to take group photos where the groomsman I was paired with had to dip me and look lovingly into my eyes. I don't even know that guy's name. At my sister's wedding, I had to walk down the aisle arm-in-arm with my brother-in-law's brother (I was 13, he was 22) and he had to kiss my hand. This was all orchestrated by the mothers-in-law who thought it was precious.
I also had to take pictures where all the bridesmaids would swoon over the groom (and vice versa with groomsmen and the bride), with the implication that we are all jealous that the bride got such a great catch and we wish WE were getting married to him. I was there to support my friend on her wedding day by being her bridesmaid - I am NOT there to secretly undermine her or feel envious.
When I eventually got married, I had a consultation with my photographer. I whipped out these photos and said, 'I don't want THAT.' She laughed and said she hated those too. anon , Joeyy Lee Report Final score: 150points POST Sadia Timmermans Sadia Timmermans Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Never heard of this, never seen this.

I think most of the traditions are dumb.
- I don't want to do a first dance with everyone staring at me. Awkward and unnecessary.
- I don't want to take the garter off of her and throw it to some dudes.
- The dollar dance is dumb
- I wish "Give me money" was an acceptable registry for wedding gifts. No, no gift cards. Money. I've been hassled relentlessly for months about what gifts I want. I want money because this wedding is expensive. That's it.
- The tradition of pricing everything up once the word "wedding" is mentioned. Great photoshoot for your family -- $300. Wedding photos of the same quality and quantity -- $1500. Yeah, I'll gladly just have friends whip out an iPhone and take pics and edit them myself.

I was excited to BE married... I wasn't excited to GET married. I think there's too much of an emphasis on rings, gowns, and impressing all of your guests. I walked into the bridal shop, tried on ONE dress, and said "Ok, good to go!" I believe it was maybe $250. We ordered our rings off of Amazon for probably $50-$75 each, at the most.
A wedding should be about celebrating a commitment to one another, not spending a down payment on a house to throw a party, in my opinion. This holds true, especially, for those people that spend money they don't have on it. I could have just walked down to the courthouse with my ex and been just as happy. I would rather have the money to save for a home for a future family or a college fund for future kids than on a single day of my life.

Loved how amazing it looked. 17 17points reply View More Replies... View more comments #31 Just had my wedding back in May. It was AWESOME because if I don't know you, or talk to you, or visit you, and you don't know my birthday, where I work, that I'm even engaged, what state I live in... no, I'm not inviting you. Sorry.
My best friend got married over the weekend. I didn't get to see or talk to her at all during the reception because they were stuck walking around talking to extended family. F**k that noise. I wanna get wasted and dance. It's a party! She did get a f**k ton of presents though.

Less than 100 people and everyone had an amazing time. It was a 10 min ceremony (we aren't religious so none of that extra c**p) and then partied all night. 8 8points reply View More Replies...

I mean, we eventually spent the $1200 in Target gift cards, but it would've been cool to spend it at other places as well. spanxxxy , Amy Shamblen Report Final score: 44points POST Mohsie Supposie Mohsie Supposie Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago (edited) Yes, cold hard cash please!

I hate dancing I've never ever liked it (no not even as a child) and basically everyone tells me that ill have fun dancing because it'll be my wedding day blah blah. Seriously. I always think it'd be fun to go bowling or something but get a third degree burn for not wanting to dance on my wedding day. Maybe the rest of the people there could dance while i enjoy spending time with all the people who came to my wedding anon , Edward Eyer Report Final score: 36points POST Allan Allan Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago I've dated Candace but still Can't-Dance 12 12points reply View more comments Note: this post originally had 40 images.
