Hey guys!

Are you guys doing any fun TikTok or Instagram reels for your big day? For example, I’ve been seeing the princess diaries reveal trend and I think it’s SO CUTE!

I have seen this new trend in wedding welcome signs several times in the last few days. I just need to tell people who I am not connected to that I have never hated anything wedding related so much. And for those people to tell me I am right.

And now we are in the crunch time for planning and I fucking hate wedding planning. So much. I'd like to pull my hair out. I can't wait until the planning is over. That is all.

Who do you think is the most judgemental bride? What episode has the lowest WINNING score? What bride do you feel the worst for? Which episode is the most dramatic? Which episode do you wish you could have been a part of?

Hello brides, grooms, nearlyweds, newlyweds, spectators, and all gathered here today to commemorate the reopening of r/TrollXWeddings!

Due to the prior mod being inactive for over a year, I requested the moderatorship and it was granted today. You’ll notice a few things look different already. There’s much more to come!

Old Business

• I’ve cleared out the moderation queue. Thank you to everyone to reported spam and abusive comments while the prior mod was inactive.
• I’ve simplified the subreddit rules.
• I’ve updated flair options and the subreddit description.

New Business

• I plan to add some personality to the subreddit with custom color and an avatar.
• I plan to reach out to moderators of other wedding-related subreddits to announce the reopening.
• I’m open to adding additional rules, flair options, or other customizations based on user feedback. Suggestions welcome!
• Once I get my feet under me, I will put out a call for additional moderators so the subreddit doesn’t go inactive again.

r/TrollXWeddings is a place primarily for sharing wedding and wedding planning related memes. It is also a home for venting about the wedding industry, societal constructions of engagement, weddings, and the whole hoopla, and however you feel as you plan your wedding.

What direction do you want to see the subreddit go in? I have been considering a rule against advice-seeking in this subreddit, since there are other wedding planning subreddits that cover that area. Would you be in favor of that rule?

If anyone within 4 degrees of family has the audacity to have a major life event in 2023, I WILL take it personally and I WILL set their house on fire.

I am going to try to keep this short-ish, but backstory is totally necessary.

We are getting married later this year. We've been together almost five years. My fiance has (had?) a friend group that goes back to middle school which consisted of him and 3 other guys. Two of the guys (let's call them Shawn and Timothy) absolutely love me and we have all had a great friendship since we met. One (let's call him David) has been hit or miss. He's a bit of a troll and an all around dumbass and smokes too much weed which I think has seriously messed up literally everything about his personality. Shawn and Timothy have been over his nonsense for a few years and don't have much of a relationship with him anymore, but we had always continued to include David thinking he was just going through a phase.

In 2020, when Covid started fucking up the world, David went down some conspiracy rabbit holes. I am a healthcare worker and at the time I was working exclusively in a Covid ward, literally watching people die left and right. He started texting/DMing me links to insane articles and podcasts that "prove" Covid is a hoax. It was getting really dumb and my (then) boyfriend asked him to stop sending me that stuff because it was upsetting. I stopped opening his messages and texts. When we would see him in person, we all had an agreement not to talk about politics or Covid, which we stuck to. But once he got on his a phone, it was a free-for-all. We started associating with him less and less and Timothy and Shawn did as well. My fiance wanted to try to salvage their friendship which I was very supportive of initially.

Almost exactly a year ago, he completely 100% disrespected me publicly and I told my fiance I was done with him. I told my fiance I would not try to keep him from seeing David, but I did not want him in my home (which I own). David kept texting my fiance to hang out and my fiance told him that he was upset with the way he treated me and he needed to apologize because he was not allowed in my home until he did so (everyone ALWAYS hangs out at our house). This really pissed David off and he of course refused to apologize. Since then, my fiance has pretty much ignored his texts for a year. He has not seen him in person since then, although David keeps trying to hang out.

When we made the guest list for our wedding, I asked if he was inviting David. He said no, but we had a talk about it and I said you are free to invite him, and in fact I think you should, because this could just be a rough patch and you don't want to do something permanent that you can't go back and change. Probably dumb on my part but I'm a middle-child-people-pleaser and hate when people are mad at me. I thought this would help smooth things over. We ended up inviting David and he, to our surprise, he RSVPed yes. We immediately thought *oh god* knowing he might come and make an ass of himself, but gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe this would be a good time to let bygones be bygones.

Timothy lives out of state now. He has been visiting for the last month and he heads home in a few days so he came to our house last night to hang out one last time. Timothy is not a shit-disturber at all and a very good friend to both of us. He divulged that he hung out with David several nights ago and David told him he was only coming to our backyard wedding to "do a victory lap" because he's not allowed in our home, and take a dump in our bathroom. Typical David behavior. But he also told Timothy that he would not be attending our reception (we rented out a bar for the night) because he was literally only coming to crap in our house. Okay, dummy, the reception is the fun part of a wedding so why would you skip the free food and drinks but go out of your way to crap in our toilet? Wouldn't expect anything different from him.

This really pissed my fiance off. He talked about uninviting him but I was like ehhhhhh I'd rather troll him. Timothy doesn't want us to *specifically* mention that he told us this information, but said he was okay if it was implied. Fiance wanted to hire private security to our house and show the guy David's photo and not let him inside the house, but instead escort him right to the backyard, foiling his plans of shitting in our house and doing his *victory lap*. I thought it would be better to just let him in and act totally normal, and when he inevitably shows up to the reception (the fun part), don't let him in. Realistically, he's going to see that all our friends are there and it's going to be a great time, and he's going to want to come, 100%. If you have to sit through a boring ass ceremony, why not reap the benefits and at least get to party? Fiance is not convinced he will come to the reception so he wants to figure out another way to troll him.

Look, maybe we are assholes, but fiance and I have tried so many times to be the bigger person and at this point, if he wants to troll us on our freaking wedding day, we want to troll him back and finally kiss the "friendship" goodbye. Timothy and Shawn are totally on board and they are also offended that he would do something so childish, so that is some validation. I won't let him ruin the day and I honestly don't care if he shits in our toilet as one last hurrah. There's going to be 100ish people there and he will be the last person on our minds, but this doesn't stop us from wanting the door to hit him on the way out.

All this so say, any ideas on how to fuck with David? Ask any questions you need to.

I am laughing so hard right now and need to share with people who will understand! Lol

My best friend had to miss my micro destination wedding due to be approximately 79 months pregnant (pregnancy scares me I don’t know how it works). My happily ever after party is scheduled for Oct 15 but that wasn’t going to work either as her due date was Oct 11.

She just sent me a selfie from her hospital bed to say her blood pressure was too high so they induced her and she WILL be at my reception! Hahahaha if those aren’t priorities I don’t know what are!

Hahaha! She said no other complications or pain so far. She’s been in the hospital for 5 hours already and must be getting bored. Love her!

Hello, I (28F) need a hashtag for my wedding. Date has not been decided on yet. We have been together since high school, 12 years this June. We are actually both taking on a new last name, "Valentin". Its a surname from my maternal great grandfather that was not passed on. Any one have any ideas? Thank you in advance!
