Clearly, the bride and groom are the main focus of THEIR wedding, not the guests. Still, there's a limit to how your preferences might interfere with your guests—after all, you are hosting a celebration for all of your closest friends and family, right?
Well, one couple on TikTok seems to disagree. They've gone viral for their strict wedding rules that have struck many including some of their own wedding guests, as downright ridiculous. Maybe the emergence of "therapy speak" and the way it talks on "boundary setting" have influenced the wedding industry, elevating the enduring phenomenon of "bridezillas" and "groomzillas" to an unprecedented degree of entitlement.
It's completely fine if you have a certain way you's like your wedding to pan out. Like, yeah, you're entitled to have your wedding the way you want your wedding. But charging entry fees, banning certain colors, and insisting your guests only have two drinks? That's stepping firmly into "the world revolves around me" territory with both feet.
They banned attendees from taking pictures, asked them to assist with setup, and required them to stay seated.And that's only a basic look. The videos on TikTok gloating about the strict rules appear to have been taken down; this could be because, as some users speculated, the entire thing was satire. However, the fact that it seemed so realistic even if it was a joke says a lot.
But the other rules are downright insane. Rule number three, for instance, was "respect the seat assignment." Reasonable enough, right? But what that actually means is that no one is allowed to leave their seat at all, except during "mingling hour" from 7-8 p.m., unless they're "getting a drink, food, or going to the bathroom." Is this a wedding or a maximum-security federal prison?
To me this wedding seems extreme.. but let us know your thoughts by DM'ing us on socials @YMSRadio!
