Couple's 15 Wedding Rules Go Viral on Reddit - Brides

Since getting married is a huge milestone in your life, your wedding day is one of the only times where you get to call the shots. One couple, however, took that privilege to the extreme when they mandated that their guests follow a long list of 15 rules at their wedding ceremony and reception. On April 18, 2024, a Redditor uploaded a photo of said orders on Reddit's subreddit "Wedding Shaming," and the viral post accumulated nearly 1,000 heated comments.

The list begins by reminding guests that it's their "big day, not yours" before requesting that attendees "do not get in the photographer's way" and only wear "BLACK and/or GOLD, not red, blue, green, and definitely NO WHITE" to the celebration. The fourth rule requests that friends and family refrain from changing their seats, reaffirming that they "have a seating chart for a reason."

In the fifth rule, the bride and groom discourage guests—anyone who "didn't put out any money for the wedding"—from commenting on their affair, adding that "your opinion is irrelavent," including the misspelling of the word. Further down the list, the couple reveals that if anyone expresses their distaste for the music, they should "simply go home" because "this is a celebration, not a funeral."

Some rules on the list mention proper drinking behaviors, such as ordering guests to "pace yourself" and profiting outside drinking or else "you will be escorted out." The bride and groom even go as far as to tell guests how to conduct themselves, insisting that no one "sit down all night" (and to prepare themselves for lots of twerking). For anyone who posts a photo of the wedding, the bride and groom mandate an inclusion of their wedding hashtag.

Near the bottom of the list, the couple reiterates the first rule: the wedding is about the couple, which they reinforce by asking that guests make "no big announcements or proposals" during their special day. The two of them conclude the list of rules by writing, "the bride and groom said what they said" and asking that everyone "turn ALLLLL the way up!"

Fellow Redditors commented on the photo, with many pointing out that the rules themselves aren't the problem, but the tone and wording are. "I feel like all of these could be rewritten not to sound like an a------," someone concluded, while another noted, "I feel like these are mostly reasonable asks worded in the most rude and obnoxious way possible." Some even said they would opt out of attending a wedding that required following those demands. "Honestly, the dress code is enough for me to politely decline," someone wrote.
