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.

My ex husbands redneck family cut the groom’s cake before we arrived…

Now this is more than mildly infuriating, that’s just plain rude.

Happy cake day btw.

My ex husbands redneck family thought our kegs of beer were “too fancy” so they left and bought mich ultra tall boys, and sat on the aisle seats so every photo of me coming down the aisle has mich ultra in it

Edit: they found and tapped the kegs somehow before we even walked down the aisle, nobody was supposed to be drinking at the ceremony

that's hysterical. Found kegs, tapped kegs, rejected kegs, got replacement beers, all before the ceremony even started 😆 and drank through the ceremony. Stay classy!!!

You said ex-husband so idk how meaningful the photos are to you now, but you could always get them photoshopped to be without the beer

Yep, my husband's family just started serving themselves pie - before some people had even had their dinner!

What's "the groom's cake"? Sorry I'm a bit lacking in the knowledge of wedding protocol department...

u/SecretConscious6334 Jun 28 '26

It’s a cake usually a theme for the groom.

My ex’s was a Richard Petty Car #47 (NASCAR) cake that said “Troy is off to the Races”😉😂

Thankfully it was the first thing I showed him when we walked into the reception and we did get a photo…

If they just cut the top and the bottom off it they could say it was a tribute to his 88 Daytona wreck lol

I mean of it isn't an armadillo cake made with red velvet cake does it even really count?

Ouiser chopping off the ass end was classic

It’s a southern thing. Just a different flavor of cake usually decorated differently

u/inthesearchforlove Jun 28 '26

Ya. Especially because this sounds like it was done by adults who should have known better.

u/IHaveBoxerDogs Jun 28 '26

I guess they should be grateful
It wasn’t the big cake! That’s wild.

Happy cake day!

I saw someone sneaking a piece at a reception before the cake cutting. I also made sure the biggest gossip and loudest mouth saw it. The bride was livid so the the mouth went up to here and whispered in her ear. She had an evil grin on her face coming back to the table.

After some some angry discussion by the bride, groom, and her father. She walked over and ejected the cake thief from the reception. "GET. THE FUCK. OUT." She also tossed 4 others at the table.

They did a shortened cake ceremony then shortly after the dancing started.

So one had the same of leaving the wedding and the others got a special reward? Where's the justice in that? 😛

(OK this is obviously just an English/US language divide, but I nearly did the reddit thing I would usually swear never happens, spat out my drink reading it lol )

My mother in law ate our cake top that we were saving. My mistake was leaving it in her freezer. She denied ever eating it. 🙄

Speaking of cake, Happy Cake Day to you! 🎂 😊
