- People are in disbelief over a set of "rules and regulations" a wedding planner asked of guests set to an attend an upcoming wedding.
- The rules first made the rounds after they were posted in Reddit's r/choosingbeggars subreddit, and include such requests as "DO NOT TALK TO THE BRIDE AT ALL" and "do not have a full face of makeup."
- People found the so-called "rules," which also dictate hairstyle, toasting protocol, and arrival time, to be ridiculous.
When it comes to weddings, there are certain nearly universally understood rules, like not wearing white if you aren't the bride. But some people think one wedding coordinator took things a hair too far with a list of "rules and regulations."
The guidelines, which were first posted in r/choosingbeggars by Redditor laika_cat, include such requests as "DO NOT TALK TO THE BRIDE AT ALL" and "do not have a full face of makeup."
Here's the list, which was apparently emailed to guests, per the Reddit post:
"Please arrive 15-30 minutes early.
Please DO NOT wear white, cream or ivory.
Please do not wear anything other than a basic bob or ponytail.
Please do not fave [sic] a full face of makeup.
Do not record during the seramony [sic].
Do not check in on FB until instructed.
Use #[redacted] when posting all pictures.
DO NOT TALK TO THE BRIDE AT ALL.
Everyone will toast with Rémy. No acceptance [sic].
Lastly must come with gift 65$ or more or you want [sic] be admited [sic] in."
Redditors found the so-called "rules" to be ridiculous.
Over on Twitter, people also questioned the stringent set of guidelines. The email made the rounds on the platform after lawyer O.T. Walker shared a screenshot of it.
Many are fixated on the spelling — particularly the misspelling of the word "ceremony. "
Reading that email extremely confused by all the spelling errors and most importantly the audacity pic.twitter.com/dZtGO564Z0

Would you really hire a wedding planner that couldn’t spell ceremony? Or spellcheck and edit an email?! My brain hurts. pic.twitter.com/j8ghacC1Bi

How does a WEDDING PLANNER not even know how to spell “ceremony”

I can’t be bothered with folk putting the dollar sign after the amount or spelling ‘seramony’
— Bitch, c’mere. (@runtelldatbish) September 19, 2018
But others were troubled by the guidelines pertaining to hair and makeup.
*only bobs or ponytail. Welp. No afros at this wedding.

Some said the requests sounded reasonable.
That do not wear white, cream or ivory part....you’d be surprised how many people don’t know how to dress for weddings

other than the spelling errors i see no issues. thsy basically want you to show up early and not be on your phone. wedding coordinatod always has to be the bad guy, im sure if you talk to bride they would concede on some things

But overall, people found the tone of the email off-putting.
As soon as I read "First of all," I knew it was about to be some bullshit.

I would have declined. Rudely.
This is so tacky.. the whole wedding needs to be thrown away 😒

And while this wedding-related faux pas is making waves, it's not the first of its kind to catch national attention recently.
Earlier this month, a woman went viral after she threatened to delete her friends on Facebook because they wouldn't pay $3,000 to attend her destination wedding. Then, there was the woman who was angry that her African American friend didn't want to attend her wedding on a plantation. And let's not forget the bride who fired her bridesmaid in a cringe-worthy email that divided that internet.
Ain't love grand?
