A wedding is one of the most memorable days in our lives. However, it can remain in our memory not only because of pleasant moments, but also because of some funny situations. Indeed, in most cases, people’s opinions about the celebration of this significant event differ, and even the closest people can play a dirty trick and ruin the celebration. Reddit users decided to show what kind of things guests sometimes do at weddings and posted stories that you can see in this collection!

Groom's speech at a wedding

According to tradition, the newlywed is required to make a short speech at his wedding. And you should prepare for this. You shouldn’t rely on your memory or a suddenly flitting muse that will help you compose a thank-you text in a single moment. The words the groom plans to say at the wedding must be written down and memorized. The duration of the speech is no more than five minutes, and it is worth mentioning not only the parents on both sides, but also all the volunteer helpers in organizing the wedding.

Examples of groom's wedding speeches:

Thank you to all the close people gathered in this room who said so many warm and pleasant words and parting words to us. We are glad to see you today at our holiday. You are truly dear people to us. We will be happy to see you all on our silver wedding anniversary. Let's raise our glasses and drink to this!

But now that our closest and dearest people have gathered here, we are very happy. And we want to thank you for your attention and care. We raise this glass to you with sincere wishes of happiness!

First of all, I would like to say words of gratitude to fate, which gave me a magical meeting with my beloved (name).

The groom plays the main role at a wedding; he bears the bulk of the duties and responsibilities for organizing the celebration. Moreover, he, along with the bride, is in the center of everyone's attention, and cannot just leave the holiday without a good reason. Therefore, the newlywed should take care of his appearance and clothes, be patient and tactful, so that the memories of this long-awaited day are only positive.

“I'm a wedding photographer. And I have a lot of stories. Last year, at a wedding, the bride's mother wanted to hold a competition and asked the host to help her. And he was not very experienced and came to me for advice. In short, the essence of the competition from the mothers was this: the bride is blindfolded, seated on a chair, and the groom and his friends approach her in turn, and she must grab them by the balls and recognize her. I told the guy that he should at least pretend to be a moron, but under no circumstances and under no circumstances should he hold such a competition if he wants to stay in the profession.”

Wedding expenses

One of the main responsibilities of the groom when preparing for the wedding is the allocation of the budget and payment for services. As a rule, modern newlyweds divide expenses in half, but this depends on their wealth and social status. It happens that all expenses are paid in full by one party. What are the main positions?

Organization of a festive banquet. This could be a restaurant, a river or sea ship, a home feast or an outdoor celebration in a rented room. To determine the exact amount, you will need a guest list.
Entertainment. This article includes hiring musicians and dance groups, artists of various genres, and equipment rental. Also, you should take into account the payment for the presenter or toastmaster, children's animators, if families with children are invited to the wedding. This also includes various prizes, devices and equipment for games, fireworks, shows and special effects.
Photo and video. In order to subsequently enjoy really good photographs and videos about your own wedding, and show them to your children and grandchildren, acquaintances and friends without embarrassment, you need the competent work of a good cameraman. He will professionally capture the most touching and solemn, funny and romantic situations, edit a magnificent film or select the most spectacular photos. And, of course, the newlyweds will look divine in these pictures.
Wedding rings. The groom orders and pays for the purchase of rings according to size. You can order simple, smooth models, or decorate them with engraving.
Bride's bouquet, groom's boutonniere. The bouquet must be chosen so that it harmonizes with the bride’s outfit.

In addition, depending on the format of the wedding, rose petals on the bed, showering of the newlyweds after registering the marriage, and a wedding ceremony may be required. They also line the paths to the wedding arch or limousine.
