At my BFF’s wedding, I was the Matron (ugh) of Honor. Her MIL showed up in a floor length evening gown with A TRAIN like a wedding dress. My fellow bridesmaids and I offered to spill something on the MIL but my friend is gracious and just sighed and rolled her eyes. Bless her, she's a saint.

I had like four people show up in some sort of white lacy thing. All ages too, so it wasn’t just dumb young people or something. I don’t care if it’s summer, you suck.

You don’t get to perform sexual acts in front of those who have not consented, full stop. Consent isn’t given just because you think someone is asleep or “not paying attention.”

I’m a photographer, and one of the tackiest things I’ve ever seen was a wedding I did when the groom’s stepmom, who was in her early 60’s (but looked good I have to add) all giant platinum extensions and big boobs....wore a neon pink, low-low cut, very tight, (actually way too small) mini dress. It looked like it was…

It’s sad that this needs to be written, but let’s face it - if you are the type of person to do this in the first place, you don’t really care about anything the article said. “Of course all the attention will be on me, I just got engaged! That’s how it should be!”

This only applies to women (dresses) though, right? A friend of mine made an invited sailor wear his (cotton) dress blues to her July wedding. There is no way military dress whites impede on the bride’s dress.

Dude. One of the friends at my wedding came in a Marilyn Monroe-style white halter dress. It was rude and inappropriate. Everything about it. “IT’S NOT ABOUT YOUUUUUU” I still want to scream when I see the pics!

Where's the consent line, though? I've experienced lots of non-consensual masturbation in my presence, both in public and in a college roommate situation. I do not think it is OK to perform sexual acts in the presence of a person who has not consented.

That’s extra messed up because she did it on purpose! I’ve heard that some brides get really sad after the wedding because the spotlight isn’t on them anymore. I’m over here thinking, I can’t wait until I’m not being hounded for answers on silly things and the hardest decision I have to make is strawberry or normal…

True story: some guest’s +1 did this at my cousin’s wedding; it was basically a wedding dress if you married (hah) a little black dress and a wedding dress. Office printer paper white and more lace than the actual bride’s dress—justified, of course, by the fact that the +1 had been married 5 months ago and considered…

My MIL wore a white and silver beaded dress to my wedding. Oh yes, she did. And brought along a racy red dress for a costume change for the reception. A COSTUME CHANGE.

You shared a room, not a bed. BIG difference.

My uncle I didn’t want to invite made his kids I didn’t want to invite skip their homecoming dance to come to my wedding. My cousin showed up in a white strapless minidress that barely covered her cookies. The worst part is she asked her older (half)sister I’m close with if she thought it was ok, and OF COURSE her…

My brothers shared a room. I don’t think it stopped them masturbating at all.

My bff’s mom tried to wear white to her wedding. Through the whole 15 month planning process, I wish I’d tried to keep count of the number of times my friend had to tell her mom, “Mom, you are not the one getting married on the seventh, you know that right?”

Excellent! Glad she didn’t let the scene-stealers spoil the very 70s day. Funny to think one day future young ppl will look at our photos and be like ‘omg so 2000s’!

A new bride? Oh ffs. You’re a bride on your wedding day and a wife or spouse thereafter. Also...no one actually cares once they leave your reception.

Ooh yeah that would have pissed me right off! Don't fuck with the bride. It's not that hard, people! Poor mum, I hope her day was lovely anyway

Is this guy creepier than Lena Dunham? Yes. Absolutely, yes.
Does that make Lena Dunham any less creepy? No. No, it does not.
