Big bag of nopes

So I'm browsing A Practical Wedding and I come across THIS and think there might be some useful ideas. 

I didn't even make it all the way through before I had to stop. "Who cares if it's a standing reception?" Ummm, I'm pretty sure Grandma cares. "Since we were married the week before, we let our guests officiate." I'm sure you didn't tell them until they got there too, right?

I read this going "nope.(scroll) nope. (scroll) NOPE. (close tab)
Now I'm ragey.

    No fucking way. And I love her comment about how someone mentioned that they were unimpressed with bringing food.

    $400 on MUSIC but couldn't be bothered to provide food? Nope. Nope nope nope. Plus she spent $200 on a tux for the best man and she spent $40 on a separate reception dress. Close to $650 right there of their $1,000 budget. Awesome priorities.

    These people are terrible. Ugh, you spent 40% of your budget on a band, but made your guests bring the food. And you didn't even bring money to pay your band, you had to scrounge through your wedding card. 

    And this comment: Our officiant was a close family friend. We didn’t buy her anything or pay her anything (we are poor folk!) and I felt bad about that, but she still seems to love us just the same

    Do you have no shame!

    And did you guys see the comment where a poster is explaining how the logistics worked for a potluck that she attended. She was from out of town, and the bride and groom asked the in town guests to bring food, and they put everything in a Google doc. 

    However, the groom's brother had to contact the out of town people and ask them to chip in for a caterer, because they didn't think they've had enough food. Wut! Pay for the caterer yourself B&G, you know like you should have in the first place. The poster even said it was off putting to be asked but she did it anyway.

    My photographer posted photos ages ago of a wedding she did that made my jaw drop. The weather was poor but apparently the bride was SO set on her dream outdoor wedding that they went for it anyway. In the pouring rain. She and her H were under a gazebo and all of the guests were standing with umbrellas watching. Soaked. I couldn't believe how ridiculous that was. I would be so pissed at that bride if I was a guest.

    My wedding was an hour and a half away when the pouring rain stopped, and as determined as I was with having it outside I made it very clear to our coordinator that unless we could be sure (which an hour out we were) that the rain wouldn't start again, I was going to have them set up the indoor location. My photos wouldn't be worth having my guests be miserable. Even though half of them were insisting we just go for it in the rain anyway, I said absolutely not and that their comfort was more important to me. I'd have just done photos in the rain with just the two of us anyway.

    (Fun fact—I actually forgot to go to the ATM to get cash to pay the band, but luckily our wedding gifts and cards had enough cash in them to cover it!)

    Perfect gif. I picture the bride and groom rifling through the gift table for cash. Probably to feed their meth addiction.

    God that was gross. I would be pissed if I had to bring food, eat other people's shitty food, and was sent home with a plant the couple spent money on.

    The amount of delusion in the cost estimation: "About $1,000—but I have no idea what was spent. So many things were crowd-sourced and donated to us that the hard numbers were never calculated!"

    In other words, we have no idea if our wedding was actually cheap or not because we weren't the ones spending the money.

    And they paid for nothing themselves! The 1000 was a gift from the groom's mother. I would be so embarrassed if these were my children.

    I can't believe she paid $400 for music and a bunch of money on decorative items but didn't pay the officiant anything because "we're poor." Without that person you wouldn't be married. Paying them anything should be a priority over birdcages.

    A COMMENTOR HAS SEEN THE LIGHT:
    "HI,
    This is insane. I mean a potlucj wedding. If you cant afford to be adults and get married then dont. Its not everyone elses responsibility to provide food, tables and chairs for your wedding. When you have a kid should they provide the food, bedding and clothes? This is ridiculous."

    Sopha wins best gif of the day.

    Seriously though. I love a good potluck as much as the next Episcopalian, but NOT FOR A WEDDING. And now apparently a bunch of people want to know how to do a potluck wedding because APW (which I used to kind of like) made it sound like a good idea.

    The bolded raises a good point. You have no idea how much care people took to make that food, hygenically or otherwise. If I knew I was going to a shitty potluck wedding I probably wouldn't put all that much effort into what I was making. And guys, people are dirty. 

    I hope someone got food poisoning. And by someone, I mean the douchy bride and groom.

    Oops.

    I would pay 1000 dollars to not have my tits look like hers did in that ill-fitting cheap gown.

    ....

    Maybe the second part was the meanest thing I've ever said.
    Yep, that's some pretty nasty meanness that goes beyond okay. 
    Snarking bad manners and shitty behavior is one thing, but making ugly remarks about people's physical appearances is just shitty and juvenile.  That's not snark, that's junior high school crap. 

    They're rude as fuck, but it has nothing to do with what they look like.

    That was basically my favorite part. "We're so cool and laid back, we invited aliens."
    ETA: my imagination is running wild: what did this person bring to the party?!?!?!?!
