Wedding Planners Share 24 Stories About The Craziest Wedding Demands They’ve Ever Received

Let's give a small disclaimer right away - of all the stories presented in this selection, I liked the one where the bride wanted to hire a panda as a ring-bearer the most. After all, it's very simple - a panda is the perfect choice in almost any life situation, isn't it? But seriously, I couldn't even imagine that people preparing for one of the biggest days in their entire lives could make such weird demands!

For example, we once told how at one wedding, in addition to elegant fancy invitations, the guests also received demands from the newlyweds, firstly, to cover their meals themselves, and secondly, to bring the gifts in cash only. And if the second can still be justified - for example, by the spouses-to-be's desire to urgently raise money for some expensive purchase - then the first demand absolutely outraged the readers.

"In fact, the whole mass of various stories about weird newlyweds' demands can be divided into three main categories. The first usually concerns money, the second - when people want something damn unusual at the wedding," says Denys Tsikanovsky, a wedding planner and host from Tel-Aviv, Israel, whom Bored Panda asked for a comment here. "Well, and the third category includes other inexplicable quirks and whims, that happens too."

"Most often, of course, there are cases from the first two categories. When people, for example, spent a lot in the process of preparing for a wedding, and want to return at least part of the money spent. Or they are simply stingy themselves. Or when newlyweds just want to impress guests with something unusual so much that they simply cross all boundaries of what is acceptable and reasonable."

"By the way, some others who could also tell a lot of interesting things about such cases are wedding photographers. But, I'm quite sure, hardly anyone will reveal really scandalous details and particulars. In the end, there is the concept of professional ethics. And any, even the most entitled, client is first and foremost a client. All we need to do is to make sure that their big day becomes as joyful and memorable as possible," Denys summarizes.

However, the stories told in this selection are pretty much enough for several books about wedding disasters - even without unnecessary details, right? So now, we're strongly expecting you to read these tales, mark the ones you like the best of all, and probably share your own - in case you too have something interesting and amusing under the belt. So, bon voyage, our dear readers, have a good time with this list!
