13 Weddings That Were Nothing Short Of T-A-C-K-Y And T-R-A-S-H-Y

“My partner and I were invited to his first cousin’s wedding. My partner thought this was really strange as his cousin was in her late 40s, had been married for 20+ years, and no one had mentioned she had gotten divorced. Nevertheless, we traveled to Florida from Canada to attend. It wasn’t until we arrived that we discovered this was not an official wedding but a ‘joining ceremony’ for the ‘third member of their marriage,’ God. After moving to Florida from Toronto, they became born-again Christians, and their huge non-denominational church held this ceremony.”

“Many of their friends and relatives were as confused as we were. We all had received wedding invitations that looked real and said we had been invited to the wedding of his cousin, and a name we didn’t recognize, so we assumed it was real. We came to find out that her husband had used his new nickname, which none of us knew him by. It was so strange, and most of us just let them keep our gifts because we did not know the protocol.”
