44 People Spilled Their True Feelings About Weddings, And They're Ruthless

While many of the pet peeves mentioned in the Instagram thread are things guests can tolerate, some make them decline an invitation altogether.

A survey of 2,000 Brits found that 28% do so because of the cost, while 24% cite long commutes.

Other major deterrents include their partner not getting invited, disliking other attendees, overnight stays, and having to book time off work.

However, it's important to remember that sometimes the guests also cross the line. Robin 'Birdie' Yarusso, 43, from Minneapolis, United States, has planned over 100 weddings, and she says that bombarding the bride with your inquiries on her big day is one of the worst possible things you can do.

"She's busy. There are so many ways to figure it out without stressing her out," Birdie explains.

In addition, she slammed people who turn up late to the nuptials, highlighting that it often interrupts the event and distracts other guests.

In the end, Birdie believes everyone's focus shouldn't be about Instagram content or participating in popular trends, but rather, creating an amazing memory.

"Make it meaningful. Having a beautiful wedding isn't just about gorgeous flowers and stunning decor. It's about the emotional connection for everyone," she says.

"Leave people feeling moved during the ceremony, emotional during the speeches, and energized during the party."
