16 people debate which popular tradition is the cringiest thing about weddings.

Is it even a wedding if there isn't at least one element that's so cheesy it melts into fondue?

If you're on a mission to have a cringe-free wedding, you should probably give up now. Vowing your undying love to someone in front of your entire family to honor a tradition that was mostly about trading cows and bonding families for power or peace? Pop the champagne and dance to 'Uptown Funk.' So, when a Reddit user asked, 'What in weddings makes you cringe?' people were ready to share the song, flower, aesthetic, cocktail, tradition or overall vibe that takes the number one spot in the cringe category.

When the bride is walking down the isle and everyone is taking pictures with their cellphones. That couple will forever have everyone looking through their phones in the photographs from the professional photographer that cost thousands. A special iconic moment marred with faces in screens.

But everyone wants a low quality image from a bad angle immediately, instead of having the forethought to ask the couple at a later date for a copy of a professional one. It's selfish and ignorant. - Agonist28

4.

When people write their own vows but they don’t actually promise anything. They just ramble for a few minutes about how much they love the other and how perfect they are. Like the whole point of wedding vows is to make commitments. - livingdream111

When the bride or groom does something disrespectful like smashing their nose into the cake. Or writing 'help me' on the bottom of the groom's shoes. They say one in three marriages ends in divorce, guess this will be one of them. - Proof_Bathroom_3902

The trend of wanting the women in the wedding party to look alike, even to the point of asking them to change their hair color. Along with that goes giving specific directions as to what guests may wear. - Comfortable-Salt3132
