It’s impossible to know if you’ll be a horrible bride or groom until you find yourself in the midst of planning a wedding.
We’ve all heard wedding horror stories about tantrum-chucking Bridezillas or Groomzillas with too much ‘tude, but we often forget about the poor souls suffering in silence in these scenarios.
Forget the bridesmaids, we’re talking about the wedding planners. And the wedding photographers. And wedding DJs… Look, basically anyone who’s stuck working for a pair of psychopaths preparing to walk down the isle.
Won't somebody please think of the wedding planners?!!
Recently, a group of disenchanted marriage-merchants took to Reddit to share their stories. It wasn't pretty.
"Weddings seem to bring out the worst in humanity," writes one user, whose friend was punched in the face by angry groom after he took too many photos of the bride.
The friend was the photographer.

Not a wedding planner, but I was a guest at the Wedding of a girl from work, who was 5 months pregnant, and the Groom's mother claimed she had trapped her son into marriage (even though they'd already been living together for some time). It was only 6pm, with the reception just getting underway, when the groom's mother commented that it was "not a wedding, it's a wake", overheard by the groom, who starts yelling at her not to ruin his day. Other family members start yelling at him, the Groom's father and step-father join opposing sides to argue, someone throws a drink over someone else, the Groom upends the table and storms off, unable to be found. We all stood around in awkward silence for a while, as the bridal party took off to find the groom. The bride and her parents were in another room in tears, when I quietly slipped in, said it looked like they all had a lot to sort out and we would leave them to their privacy and go -we went out for dinner after that, as we were all dressed up without a Wedding!
Despite the drama of the day, they remained married, had some more kids and reconciled with the mother in law.
