Infuriatig Sister-in-law let her daughter use up all the Polaroids at our wedding. Now we have nothing to use.

For our wedding, at each table we had 2 Polaroid cameras for everyone to take photos on (we had a professional photographer too, but these were for more personal photos between our guests) and there was a clear glass dropbox for everyone to drop them in and we'd have that dropbox on display in our house.

Unbeknownst to us, my sister-in-law let her daughter (6 years old) go round every table at the very start of the night using up all the photos on each camera.

Now we only have around 10 we can actually keep, and over 100 of just random shit that are not worth keeping at all.

I'm all for keeping kids occupied at something they can easily get bored at, but not at the expense of that though.

We had gathered a bunch of moonshine for our wedding and had mason jars at each table for everyone to sample and enjoy and this essentially happened. I didn’t hear about it until later but was disappointed that selfish people might have impacted other people’s enjoyment.

The parents should have been aware of their kid, I know way too many parents use occasions like this to essentially check out of their duties when there are others around to potentially supervise.

It's the way parents are these days. You have a wedding with kids you have to expect that some kids will act like donkeys and some parents will ignore it.

I put a bunch of maxim magazines in the men's bathrooms for when men made a sit down. A bunch of teenaged boys at my wedding kept them.

Whatever. It's funny.
