Bride & Groom's 15 Wedding Rules For Guests Stating 'There Will Be Twerking' Have Gone Viral
A bride and groom, who I assume all of their wedding guests already knew were absolutely insane, sent out a list of rules they expect their guests to follow. The list titled "Wedding Rules" lays out 15 dos and don'ts that must be followed while attending their wedding.
If they didn't know the couple was certifiably out of their minds before this, they do now. Granted, nobody wants to have their big day to turn into a complete disaster that ends with a friend sleeping with the groom's sister, but most of these rules go beyond preventing disaster.
Because there wasn't a rule listed forbidding it, someone posted the list on the wedding shaming Subreddit with the Bridezilla/Groomzilla tag and, naturally, it went viral. Here is that list:
1. This is [names of bridezilla and groomzilla] big day, not yours.
2. Do not get in the photographer's way.
3. The attire is BLACK and/or GOLD not red, blue, green and definitely NO WHITE!
4. Do not rearrange seats, we have a seating chart for a reason.
5. If you didn't put out any money for the wedding, keep your should've, could've, would've to yourself. Your opinion is irrelavant [sic].
6. Pace yourself when drinking.
7. No big announcements or proposals.
8. If you can't handle or dislike the music being played, simply go home. This is a celebration, not a funeral.
9. This is a "Taking over for the 99' & 2000's" type of event, so there will be twerking.
10. Use #[names of bridezilla and groomzilla] when posting pics.
11. Do not sit down all night.
12. No outside liquor. If caught, you will be escorted out.
13. Refer back to rule #1.
14. The bride and groom said what they said!
15. Turn ALLLL the way up!
There Will Be Twerking At This Wedding
I'm not saying that there aren't any reasonable rules out of the 15 listed. I'm all for the rule stating that "there will be twerking." I'm also down with turning ALLLL the way up.
But how are you supposed to do either of those things when, for starters, there isn't any white attire allowed? I feel that turning all the way up - in all caps with four Ls - requires white attire.
Look, I'm not saying you can't pull off turning all the way up in black and/or gold attire. That is entirely possible. What I am saying is I don't think you reach all caps with four Ls levels of turning up.
Then there's the pace yourself while drinking. This is not only going to affect turning all the way up, but it's going to hurt the level of twerking that takes place and that's unfortunate.
Maybe it's just me. I'm not a big rules guy to begin with. I'm a "I kind of want to do it because you told me not to kind of guy."
I'd love to know where you line up on sending out wedding rules to guests in general and then these specific wedding rules.
I get it's the bride and groom's big day, but I think the rules for guests is an insane move. Let me know what you think sean.joseph@outkick.com.
